Mars is one of the many deeper locations in the game, discovered from the Spaceship after it crash lands on the planet via an event.
Features
Mars largely resembles pictures of the namesake planet's surface: an orange desert-like area with many scattered stones and small hills in the background. The area is a dead-end, entirely made up of one straightforward path ending in a summit. Returning to the Spaceship will not return Madotsuki to any other dream world, and Seccom Masada-sensei will simply emit a slow tone when interacted with. To escape Mars, the player must either pinch themselves awake or use the Medamaude effect to return to the Nexus.
The summit at the end of the path has a small hole emitting smoke. Repeatedly using the Cat effect on the summit will cause UFOs to appear in the sky at various speeds, with a 1/4 chance of a UFO appearing every time Madotsuki meows. The player can attempt this 35 times before the chance stops being rolled and UFOs no longer appear. Using the Midget effect to fit through the hole will lead to the Mars Underground.
Mars Underground
The Mars Underground is a much drearier place compared to the area's surface. Inside is a stairway that leads deep underground to where Mars-san can be found standing alongside a machine resembling a broken down train with flames coming out of it. The area has a somber tune playing in the background, consisting of a rain-like ambiance and five notes played on a piano.
Directions
Although there are five normal beds found throughout the dream world, which all lead to the Staircase of Hands and eventually Mars, the shortest route starts by using the bed in Madotsuki's Dream Room.
If the Poop Hair effect has not yet been obtained, the bed in Candle World is recommended, as it is always guaranteed under this condition.
- Nexus → Candle World → Staircase of Hands → Underground World → Spaceship → Mars
The other routes are still fairly short as the remaining beds are all found in Nexus worlds.
- Nexus → Snow World → Staircase of Hands → Underground World → Spaceship → Mars
- Nexus → Block World → Staircase of Hands → Underground World → Spaceship → Mars
- Nexus → Number World (Bed Room) → Staircase of Hands → Underground World → Spaceship → Mars
Trivia
- In the ChipSet for the main area, there is unused graphics of stairs leading to the underground area. There is also code still left in the unpatched version of the game that would put these near the hole on the summit.
- In the ChipSet for the underground area, there are unused wall lights, floor graphics, and graphics for a door that fits perfectly on the wall next to Mars-san.
