Pie Platforms is an area accessible from Alloy World.
Features
Pie Platforms is a rather small and peaceful looping world decorated by various pies and almost no living creatures. Upon entering this world from Alloy World, Minnatsuki will appear at the southern terminus of a long, narrow, orange-drizzled metal platform. There is a gray-and-orange spike on the northwestern corner of the platform. Interacting with it warps Minnatsuki to a strawberry sitting on a platform in the main part of Pie Platforms. Interacting with the strawberry returns Minnatsuki to the path to Alloy World.
Each type of platform is based on a common pie flavor and has a unique decoration;
- The red platforms are cherry pies with a lattice pie crust
- The orange platforms are pumpkin pie, and have a crust wall with various autumn-themed crust piece decorations dotting their tops and surroundings
- The yellow platforms are lemon meringue pies (with meringue, of course)
- The green pies are key lime pie, and have lime slices as decor
- The blue pies are blueberry with vent slits
- The purple pies are meant to be rhubarb with a streusel topping
- The brown one is a visual pun on the phrase "chocolate chess pie", and is surrounded by chess pieces
- The white one is a coconut cream pie, and is accompanied by coconut shells and shavings
- The drizzled one Minnatsuki enters the world on is, confusingly, a strawberry cheesecake.
Additionally, each platform can be ascended and walked on via a staircase on the bottom edge.
A river of coconut cream pie splits the world in two, spanning its entire vertical length. Sitting inside of one of the river's offshoot streams is a large pastel circus tent leading to Sweets Circus. The river can be entered from the left side, by heading east from the Alloy World entrance. Directly south of the entrance is a chocolate chess pie with a computer monitor on it, displaying the symbol pi; turning the computer on opens the Terracities website.
On the opposite side of the river from the tent is a mirror sitting between two coconut shells that, upon interaction, takes Minnatsuki to the Museum of Physical Curiosities. Northeast of this is a set of concentric lime squares, with a lime shaped like a keyhole in the middle next to a closed connection sign. Lastly, south of the key lime pie is a rhubarb pie in a complex shape, with the world's sole, blue haired and pale white inhabitant moseying around the center. This is Chef Spiffy and their house, featuring a (heavily abstracted) window, a lime slice (cushion), and a coconut shell bowl. By interacting with the bowl, its contents can be drunk, which will upset Spiffy and make them walk slower. Equipping the Soulfire eidolon will make Spiffy follow Minnatsuki, and they have a high chance of dropping 15 Luna when incinerated.

Trivia
- Chef Spiffy is based on one of the world author's online friends and their online persona, originally doodled as a gift. They were only added due to a small misinterpretation, which was cleared up shortly after.
- Additionally, the NPC approaching the player when the Soulfire eidolon is equipped is due to Spiffy (the actual person), upon seeing a demonstration of the Soulfire eidolon, stating "i actually love when this happens to me".
