Parallel Lobby is an area in B3313.
Description[]
This area is a large hub consisting of three main floors, with a layout vaguely similar to the Vanilla Lobby and Vanilla Upstairs connected in a singular area.
The first floor is a simplified version of the Vanilla Lobby , with only two painting rooms and a sloped carpet leading up to the second floor. This floor has a checkerboard floor and cloud wallpaper like the Vanilla Lobby, except the sky is orange instead of blue.
The second floor features the same visual appearance as Vanilla Upstairs at first, but with many more doors and paintings. It most resembles the Vanilla Upstairs in its design, even featuring some similar room layouts. On the opposite side of the floor's entrance is a sloped carpet leading up to the third floor's "lobby," with light-blue star wallpaper, similar to the 3rd Floor in Vanilla Upstairs.
This room contains side rooms with warp holes, and platforms leading up to double doors. Passing through two empty hallways brings the player to a square room with a checkerboard floor and brick walls, connected to three carpeted slopes. Each slope leads to warp holes to Bowser fights, with double doors behind them. Curiously, going through the doors up the left slope will warp the player to re-enter the Parallel Lobby through the doors up the right slope.
Origins[]
The area was created by ChrisRLillo. The mirror room was inspired by a section of the Epilogue episode of Annielogue's Super Mario 64: CLASSIFIED video series.
The music playing is an arrangement of "Entrance" from the Peach's Castle GameCube Tech Demo, also called NDDEMO.
