An especially whimsical, surreal, or nonsensical area in a video game. May be made up of dream logic, [[BandLand music]], {{toy|Time}}s, [[LevelAte living food]], etc. Generally, the theme is something "fun" and "cute", except enormous and [[AnimateInanimateObject come to life]] (and, that's right, [[EverythingTryingToKillYou out for your blood]]). The general theme is something approaching the setting of the original ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'', where everything is large, colorful and alive, and [[MindScrew little makes sense]]. A WidgetSeries like ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'' may never leave Wackyland.

* ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}'' has the artsy world of "Picture City", which is mainly constructed from erasers.%%The Teensie Highway sections in ''VideoGame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc'' are pretty bizarre, too.

* Each even-numbered world in the original ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}'' has a surrealistic theme, in contrast to the more natural locations of the odd-numbered worlds. The second world is the music-themed BandLand (which is also the TropeNamer for music-themed worlds), the fourth world is the artsy world of "Picture City", [[ArtCourse Picture City]], which is mainly constructed from erasers.%%The erasers, and the final world that houses Mr Dark's lair is the [[LevelAte Candy Chateau]], which is entirely comprised of cakes and pastries.
%%** The
Teensie Highway sections in ''VideoGame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc'' are pretty bizarre, too.too.
** Given the CanonWelding from these games, ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'' and ''VideoGame/RaymanLegends'' also feature a few bizarre worlds:
** ''Origins'' has its [[ShiftingSandLand desert-y]] [[BandLand music worlds]] in Desert of Dijiridoos and Grumbling Grottos, which houses ginormous woodwind structures that [[LiteralMinded blow wind and are made of wood]]; as well as the [[LevelAte food-themed worlds]] of Gourmand Land and Luscious Lakes, both of which comprising the relaxed [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Miami Ice]] and the wild [[LethalLavaLand Infernal Kitchens]]. The game was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen initially]] going to feature more Band Land-like structures from the first ''Rayman'' in the Desert of Dijiridoos, as well as an homage to Picture City that would feature various artstyles such as pixel art and pop art.
** The worlds in ''Legends'' are based on the five biomes in ''Origins'', and as such, the third world is also food-themed: Fiesta de los Muertos. This one not only features cake just like Candy Chateau, but is also partially themed after Dia de los Muertos, featuring not only {{Calacas}}, but also [[MaskedLuchador Luchadores]], giant discarded foods, and [[ForcedTransformation getting turned into a duck]] in some levels.

->''“Get set to travel in a bubble to a floating kingdom in the clouds. Everything there will be just as strange as this world's name suggests—see massive cheese wedges, giant trashcans and a fabled pot of gold at the rainbow's end. Outside, there will be stranded ice cubes and a weighty anteater that needs competitors for his Cuckoo Olympics. Inside, you'll encounter a talking safe and some hotdog-wielding weirdos.”''
