Changes: Aztec Rave Monkey

Revision as of 20:26, 12 June 2020

Aztec Rave Monkey BGM

The Aztec Rave Monkey is a full-screen event that occurs when Madotsuki looks into a conspicuous hollow totem sculpture found in the 'Rave Box' area of the Wilderness.

The screen fades to black and the animation is played along with a lively synth beat. Unsuspecting players are likely to be taken aback by the sudden explosion of vibrant color that stands in stark contrast to the bland hues of the Wilderness area. The animation continues until it is dismissed by the player.

Individual slides of the Aztec Rave Monkey animation can also be seen in the scrolling parallax backgrounds of other worlds, such as the Forest World and Block World.

The BGM that plays on the Aztec Rave Monkey's encounter is also played in the Teleport Maze at 50% speed.

Interpretation

There are numerous instances of Aztec imagery blended with postmodern art styles throughout the game, including the Kalimba TV channel, the Nexus' floor pattern, the paintings in Mural World and various parallax backgrounds (such as in Forest World and Eyeball World) of which the Aztec Rave Monkey is probably the most popular.

This recurring theme in Madotsuki's dreams may be a result of the Nazcan-style carpet pattern in her room - one of the few sources of visual stimulation in her waking world.

It is possible that KIKIYAMA selected this theme as it is a relatively 'alien' art style in most cultures and is therefore an effective way to demonstrate the bizarre nature of dreams to the player, and is also a flexible visual tool that can be seen as either intimidating or humorous depending on the nature of the image and the context of the environment. He could be based off of the Aztec monkey god Ozomatli, who is a god of song, dance, and drinking.
