[[Category:aediorugap]]The Maple Forest is a location accessible from Stalker Alley by going between two black forks or from Azure Depths by interacting with the bamboo shoot creature.
Features
This is a pretty straight-forward area, featuring maple trees, mushrooms and large pipes.
If you came from Stalker Alley, going southeast, when you are at an open area, you will find a barely noticeable rock. If you step over it, it will take you to Bamboo Forest.
Going further southeast, there is a ladder that will take you to Playing Card Dungeon.
Bamboo Forest
The Bamboo forest (タケノコの山, Takenoko no Yama, Bamboo Shoot Mountain) is a labyrinthine section inhabited by bamboo shoot-like creatures. If you enter from Azure Depths or come from the Maple Forest section, you will be placed in a bamboo forest. Interacting with the blue mushroom NPC will take you back to Azure Depths and if you touch the brown mushrooms you will be taken back to the Maple Forest section.
This first section features many bamboo shoot creatures and small clay rocks on the ground, going north, you will eventually be taken to a "dead end" with a multiple eyed monster, you are able to chainsaw it but it will have no effect. If you try to slide over by using the Penguin effect in the passage which leads to said monster, you will see that something is blocking you. When using the Glasses effect, you will see white snakes for a split second. Equipping the Penguin effect, then equipping the Chainsaw effect and killing any of the snakes, you are able to continue forward and get to the Golden Chinatown section.
Golden Chinatown
Golden Chinatown is an eerie, hollow area. All buildings are blocked off by cones, except for one on the eastern half of the town section, which leads to a convenience store. Somewhere in the middle there is a small bamboo section with Torii gates, you will find a shrine north here that you can drop off 10夢. Paying overall 10000夢 is the key to unlock a hard-to-access area (see more at the trivia section in Laundromat). East from here you will find a red bench that you can sit on.
In the town itself, if you go north, you will encounter the dock, with star particles on the ocean. One of the particles is close enough to be interacted with, taking you to the Star Hub. If you go right from here and encounter the second lamp post, by equipping the Glasses effect you can see one of the white snakes from the entrance to this place.
There is a vending machine in the northwestern building, where interacting with the trash bin with a pseudo-effect equipped will take you to the Lollipop Isle, a small area inhabited by a person in a karate outfit. This person initially has a happy expression, and changes their expression depending on the effect being equipped. Using the Glasses will make them disappear, and attempting to chainsaw them will unequip Urotsuki. Interacting with them after stopping them with Crossing will wake Urotsuki up, where she ends up in the balcony.

Trivia
- The bamboo shoot creatures in the Bamboo Forest are based on chocolate bamboo shoots, a popular treat in Japan.
- Bamboo Forest's Japanese name is called "タケノコの山 (The Mountain Of Bamboo Shoots) ", a fusion of the names of the popular chocolate bamboo shoots and chocolate mushroom treats in Japan. Preferences over the two treats is a hotly-debated topic among Japanese people.
