Line 119:
** There is also Moonside. [[Opposite Day|No means Yes and Yes means No]] in Moonside. "Do you understand?" "No." "I knew you'd get it."
* ''[[Banjo-Kazooie|Banjo-Tooie]]'' has a stage called Cloudcuckooland. Despite this, while the stage design is rather weird and random (some believe that it's a dumping ground for all the leftover ideas the devs had after making all the other levels) the NPCs found there aren't noticeably much stranger than the [[Cloudcuckoolander|rest of the insane cast.]]
* Tri-Ace loves this trope in their optional dungeons. Lots of Fourth Wall breaking abounds, from the developers readily acknowledging [[Retirony]] on an early character in ''[[Valkyrie Profile Covenant of the Plume]]'', to the announcements from nowhere informing the characters that they're entering [[Bonus Dungeon]] territory (and from time to time, characters even noting that "[That enemy] was a lot tougher than in the main story!"), to absolute unbridled madness (such as kobold versions of main characters in ''[[Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria]]'', and the constant barrage of unending craziness from mostly everyone in ''Covenant'', ranging from {{spoiler|old characters discussing their advanced age in a JRPG, most of the female cast mercilessly mocking the main character and mistakenly getting the impression that he's done [[Squick]]-worthy things with a pair of underaged characters with their mother present in the conversation, Hrist challenging the party just because she's pissed over the fact that she hasn't gotten her own game yet, Freya challenging the party because the party's resident [[Jerkass]] mage told her that she's extremely beautiful yet wouldn't even consider getting into a relationship with her because of her undeniably advanced age despite her being a goddess and immortal, the resident [[Creepy Twins]] getting their own [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]] where they read letters from the programmers and harrass [[The Hero]] for butting in and and Gabriel and Ethereal Queen lamenting over the fact that Seraphic Gate is starting to show its age and slowly falling apart while trying to get their next role in a reality show starring Silmeria}} to enemies getting progressively weirder names, from tall armored warriors getting names like [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Unit 00]], vampires that are literally called Accepting Blood Donors and No Ketchup, Please, bug enemies getting names like [[Mjusic/The Beatles|George and Ringo]], wolf enemies being called Dire (unfitting animal name here) and Gabriel himself getting an everchanging title on each playthrough, including Posessed, Obsessed, Depressed, Underdressed, Headdressed and Distressed and Wylfred's father getting increasingly stranger meanings for "father". When all the above is juxtapositioned with the main quest's extreme seriousness and and [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe|over-the-top Olde English]], it's even funnier.)
* ''[[Psychonauts]]''. Even the "real world" has some fairly... interesting features occasionally. The Lungfish, the Asylum, psychic animals... then you go inside someone's mind. Interesting fact: almost every character in the game has severe psychological issues.
* ''[[Katamari Damacy]]'' and the rest of the series have crazy scenarios. Wrestling Ring stairs! Fish watching TV! Race Karts that jump over arches! Arguably, the [[Widget Series|entire game]] is one long Cloud Cuckoo Land.
* In some ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' continuities, the Special Zone (aka the Warps of Confusion) is a mixture of this and [[Hyperspace Is a Scary Place]]. Notably it's based on the ''very'' trippy special stages in the first Sonic game (the background consists of birds morphing into fish in an Escher-like manner as discordant twinkly music plays, etc.)
* The entirety of ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]''.
* Ditto for the [[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion|Shivering Isles]].
* While the Kaka Clan of ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' are themselves strange, the... place that [[Cloudcuckoolander|Taokaka's]] Astral takes place in is... even stranger. White, fluffy clouds, giant fish flying through the sky, randomly appearing Chibikaka... you just have to question whether this is supposed to be some place for real, or you've been [[Fate Worse Than Death|trapped in the kitten's dream world or something.]]
* Sharence from ''[[Rune Factory 3]]'' is this, moreso than other ''[[Rune Factory]]'' game towns. The characters have their own, bizarre quirks. Despite most characters being weird beyond belief, some of the weirdest characters are your love interests.
