The Neon Highway (狂P=ZONE, Kyō P=ZONE, Mad P=ZONE) is a hidden area that can be accessed from the Highway . Comparable to the Moonside level in Earthbound, the Neon Highway is an alternative version of the inter-section area of the Highway. Currently the area is a dead end, with the only way of leaving is by either waking up or using the Eyeball Bomb effect.
Accessing the area
Accessing the Neon Highway can be somewhat difficult, as typically it would be quite rare to encounter it during normal gameplay. The easiest way to access the area is to leave the inter-section area of the Highway on the right, pass one section of the Highway road then go back and forth between the two screens at least 18 times. When you return to the inter-section, you should arrive at the Neon Highway.
Features
This area has a similar layout to the regular version of the Highway inter-section, with neon versions of the shop, taxi, benches and the bathroom all accessible. The main difference is that the area is surrounded by neon silhouette versions of Urotsuki that block most of the area and cannot be killed with the Chainsaw effect to gain access. However, if you equip the Rainbow effect, some of the neon silhouettes will begin to flash. Interacting with these silhouettes will transport you to a different part of the map, allowing you to explore areas which initially appear inaccessible.
The neon shop contains a neon version of the shopkeeper, however all other elements of the shop have been replaced with neon outlines of flames. Occasionally, the doors will refuse to open when trying to leave the shop, usually only leaving you the option to walk out of the same door you walked in from.
The bathroom area is accessible whilst using the Boy effect, although once exiting Urotsuki will appear on the other side, allowing you to go back and see the other bathroom interior. Whilst inside, if you open any of the cubicle doors an infinite number of neon silhouettes will walk out in a similar fashion to the Giant Cloning Room event.
Along the bottom of the map is a neon version of the taxi. Unlike the regular taxi which transports you to Purple World, entering the taxi will take you to a sectioned off area, with a taxi upon what looks like a neon version of the pillars found in the Underwater Amusement Park .
