[[Category:kuraud]] Toy World is one of the main worlds accessible from The Nexus.
Features
Toy World is a large, fairly open world filled with many colorful cubic structures made out of red, blue, and green blocks, reminiscent of Block World from Yume Nikki. Using the Rainbow effect here or in the Nexus causes the portal to change color.
Some areas are covered in a slippery purple tiling that slides Urotsuki forward until she steps off the tiles, and in addition many purple cylindrical blocks of several sizes form patterns along the ground; you can walk over the small ones, but the large ones will block your path. Wandering around the world, you will happen upon many benches and vending machines too small to use.
Entering from the nexus will initially place you in the center of a circle of large blocky pillars and a yellow path to the sides. Following this path leads to a set of two green arcs with a door that connects with the Red Brick Maze in the shrunk version of the area.
A fair distance to the south of the entrance there is a long yellow railroad that runs across the entire area. Walking along it to the east, you will eventually encounter a series of green block towers, one of which contains a door to a tall room with a long ladder that leads up to the Day & Night Towers. If you chainsaw the creature in the middle of the towers and return to Toy World, it will be infested with Shadow Ladies, which will only go away once you are caught. Further to the east of the green block towers is a toy train. Interacting with the green carriage allows Urotsuki to board it, interacting with either the blue carriage or red engine simulates a train ride. Waiting until the train's windows show a landscape of wooden blocks, then exiting, will lead to Wooden Block World.
If the Toy World has been karmically filled with Shadow Ladies, there is a stationary shadow woman just southwest of the cheese plate who will become huge when Urotsuki eats the cheese or uses the Cake effect, and will let you sit on her lap if you interact with her instead of catching you.
There is a plate of cheese at the center of Toy World, surrounded by blue bricks. Eating it will make you shrink, putting Urotsuki into the Giant Area, and eating what remains on the plate while small will make you grow back to normal size. Additionally, there are also two gates in this area made of green bricks, which will take Urotsuki to the Mini Area regardless of her current size.
In addition to changing the size of the world with the cheese, the world will preserve its size upon leaving the area; if you leave through the Nexus portal while it is giant, it will be giant again when you re-enter. Despite this, if Urotsuki has the Child effect equipped, she will always be taken to the giant area; on the other hand, if she equips the Stretch effect, she will always be taken to the normal-sized area. This allows her to change the size of the world without even interacting with the cheese.
West of the entrance to the Day & Night Towers is an enclosed area blocked by cylinders which Urotsuki can pass through when at normal size (but once Urotsuki had been shrunk, the inner area can only be accessed using either the Bat or Cake effects). This area contains a blocked door and a vending machine, which, for the price of 100夢, will shrink Urotsuki even more, which allows Urotsuki to enter the previously blocked door to the Zodiac Fortress.
Giant Area
The Giant version of Toy World is accessible by eating the shrinking cheese at the bottom of the Main area. It is essentially the same area, but Urotsuki is smaller, allowing her to enter a door found east of the entrance that would normally be impossible to enter otherwise. In addition, you can now use the miniature benches and vending machines seen around the area.
Inside this door is a small hallway, similar in style to the Day & Night Towers. Heading south takes you to the Red Brick Maze, but if you interact with the wall on the east, you can find a door to a small room featuring some bouncing purple cylinders, bouncing in a circle in the center of the room.
West of the cat patterns north of the Nexus entrance is a plate of cheese with a passage. Entering it with the Child or Fairy effect will take you to its interior, inhabited by two mice, bearing black and white colors. Chainsawing either of them will give them a shadowy appearance with red eyes in retaliation, taking you to the room with bouncing cylinders in the path leading to Red Brick Maze.
Mini Area
The mini area can be reached through one of two green brick gates in this world or if you enter Toy World from the Art Gallery. It contains a large toy box surrounded by various patterns of sliding tiles. Using the Cake Effect in this area will cause Urotsuki to change sizes.
If you enter from the Art Gallery, you will be mini-sized and enter from a purple pole in the top-center area of the toy box. There is a clock face and a 3x3 tic-tac-toe board here as well as a sane Shadow Lady.
Interacting with the Shadow Lady while mini will make her follow you, remaining sane. Like any Shadow Lady, if you attack her with your Chainsaw, she will chase you. She is only slightly slower than Urotsuki's walk speed and, if the Bike is equipped, will become as fast as Urotsuki on her bike. The only way to calm her is to allow her to catch you or to re-enter the area from the Art Gallery. If she catches you, you will be sent to the room with the bouncing purple cylinders in the Red Brick Maze. The exit on the eastern wall will be boarded up, but you can break through it if you have the Chainsaw effect, making this one of a few Chaser traps can be escaped without waking up or using the Eyeball Bomb effect.
Using the Haniwa Effect will cause the four green cylinders near the Art Gallery pole to move downwards, opening the path to the shortcut from the northern exit of the tic-tac-toe area, but with the northern exit closed off in the process. The southern exit leads to a small sliding floor puzzle. Exiting the toy box in this manner will cause the Shadow Woman to become insane, but she will be unable to come after you.
If you are giant-sized (either by entering via one of the Toy World arches or using the Cake effect), you can step on and kill the sane Shadow Lady.
There is a slice of cake in the northwest corner of the toy box, which you can reach by heading through the gap between the two green groups of blocks on the far-left side of the box just above the train tracks. Eating this cake will cause you to grow into a giant and transport you to Mini-Town.
You can enter or exit the toy box by following the yellow tracks or using the Child or Fairy effect (while giant) to get through the arch in its south-facing wall.

Trivia
- Before 0.101b, this area had doors to the Tatami Room and the Mini-Maze, which have since been removed in later versions.
- Behind one of the miniature benches is a door that would be too small even for mini Urotsuki to enter. It's also hidden behind blocks, and as such there is no indication whatsoever of how one would ever enter it.
- This world used to be one of a pair, under the name Toy World A. The other half, Toy World B, was reminiscent of the first few editions of Toy World. However, it was removed in 0.106, and its map was purged, rendering all of its content inaccessible.
- The Rainbow effect was once located in this world's initial version. For the player to obtain it, a switch had to be found in order to deactivate a flickering barrier guarding the effect. It was then moved to the Theatre World.
- All of the purple and lavender tile patterns scattered around the multiple versions of the world are patterns that can be made using tangrams, a type of puzzle toy where the participant tries to make unique shapes out of seven predetermined shapes.
- Before version 0.113e Patch 4, only the cake effect was required to enter the Symbolon. The current potion event was also in the game before version 0.110f patch 2.

A blast from the past.
You know, I wonder if these guys like cheese.
