====== The Forbidden Bayou ======

{{ :l:forbiddenbayou.jpg?nolink&600 |}}

The Forbidden Bayou is a swamp location and the first zone that introduces water as a hazard. The background contains a lot of dead trees and swamp water, with a few huts and skull effigies. The foreground is just dock, with lily pads occasionally acting as a brief break from the wooden floor, some of which haves holes or gaps on them, and a large lily pad roughly in the middle.

===== Trivia =====

  * The track that plays in this location is labelled as a "Forbidden Mix" of the track that plays in [[Brask's Jungle]], this may imply that the locations are connected.
  * If we don't count [[Gameplay#Teleporters]], this location has the most individual [[Gameplay#entrances]] that lead to other maps out of all other locations.
  * In the Japanese localization of the game, the word Forbidden was translated as 背徳(haitoku), which implies the guilt, thrill, and sexual undertone of doing something known to be taboo, specially fitting for the tone of the game. This detail is missing from all other localizations of the game that are only using their translations of the non-lewd word Forbidden.
