Map of the Checkered Tile Path

The Checkered Tile Path is an area that connects Candle World to Hell.

Features

The whole perspective of the location is diagonal, similar to the Mall.

Madotsuki arrives from Candle World via a striped pyramid that requires the use of the Midget effect. The path itself is slightly crooked due to the layout of the map, with many trees (identical to the ones in Forest World) by it and a background resembling a cloud. The player must find a way to get around the lunatic Toriningen patrolling the area if they want to get to the Nenrikido at the end. If Madotsuki is caught by the Toriningen, she will be teleported to a closed-off platform near the middle of the Docks.

If the player manages to evade the Toriningen, Madotsuki is led around a small island containing a very short lamp, a tree, and a closet (like the ones seen in Number World). This closed-off area is accessed by interacting with the same short lamp found in Lamp World. Interacting with the closet shows that Closet Madotsuki is inside it, which can be more easily viewed by using the Midget or Severed Head effects. There are a few lamps near the top of the map, which connect to the second path, with even more lamps surrounding the path, but none of them can be interacted with since they are not on the ground itself, but rather floating in the air, like the trees in the previous path. This path only leads to the Nenrikido at the very end of the map which takes the player to Hell.

Directions

The Nexus → Candle World → Checkered Tile Path

Trivia

Originally, Mafurako was located in this area. In version 0.04 and 0.06, her only function was teleporting Madotsuki to one of three locations in Block World, with one of them leading to an event that was removed in later versions. The world itself was more complex and spacious.
The music that played in this area was the same as Shield-Folk World's in older versions.
The 2nd southernmost tree, next to the entrance from Candle World, has a slight texture overlap glitch with the path.
