Fire Island

From WonderWiki
Fire Island as depicted in Wonderland Secret Worlds.

Fire Island is an island located south of Wonderland and is named for its large volcano. It first appears in Wonderland Secret Worlds and later appears throughout the Wonderland Adventures Trilogy.

Description

Fire Island's shape resembles an ellipse, the exact shape varying between drawings of the island in Wonderland Secret Worlds and in Wonderland Adventures: Mysteries of Fire Island. Its most prominent feature is The Volcano in the northeast corner. Other notable landmarks in both of its major appearances include an archipelago just off the coast and a peninsula jutting from the southwest part of the island. Other notable landmarks as well as the island's interior are different between each of its appearances. It is said there were once Stinkers living on Fire Island, but the volcano drove them away.

Appearances

Wonderland Secret Worlds

In Wonderland Secret Worlds, the island is depicted as mostly flat and sandy. Notable landmarks besides the Volcano include the Fire Island Fort and the Fire Island Bowl. The archipelago is located off the northwest coast, and the Peninsula is long and thin. The Volcano's lava outlet is located on the eastern side of the Volcano and empties directly into the Great Wonderland Sea.

Fire Island is accessed by taking a ferry from Ocean View Harbour and serves as the seventh major area that Stinky, Loof, Qookie, and Peegue visit on their quest to rescue the little Stinkers. 8 Gold Stars are required to enter the Volcano.

Levels

By pressing right when The Volcano! is highlighted, the player can access the secret level Lava Outlet.

Wonderland Adventures

Fire Island was briefly mentioned during Wonderland Adventures. A member of the Wonderland Pirates found in Ocean View Harbour reveals that the Wonderland Pirates set off for Fire Island to investigate a strange fire and glowing above it, but nothing was heard from them again.

Wonderland Adventures: Mysteries of Fire Island

Fire Island returns in Wonderland Adventures: Mysteries of Fire Island as the game's primary setting. While its general shape is similar to its Secret Worlds incarnation, its interior is drastically different. Instead of being sandy throughout the island, the interior now consists of a jungle covering much of the western and central areas, a mountain range and canyon running through the middle, the Kaboom! Village in the center-south area, the Jungle Temple just to the north of the Kaboom! Village, and a sandy beach surrounding much of the west half of the island. A set of coral reefs is found south of the Kaboom! Village. Much of the eastern half of the island is rocky and barren, and much of the southeast area consists of the Acid Pools. Southeast of the Acid Pools is a peninsula where the Pirate Camp is located. The archipelago is now located off the southwest coast of the island, and the peninsula is farther away from the Volcano and is much smaller. The lava outlet from the Volcano is moved to the Volcano's south side and empties into the Acid Pools instead of the ocean.

During the events of the game, the player and Morklin learn that the Star Key which is needed to activate the Sky Machine is hidden in the center of Fire Island. An expedition team led by the player is formed, and they set off for Fire Island. As the team approaches the island from the north, they get caught in a violent storm that wrecks the ship they were on and launches the player to the south side of the island. The rest of the team sets up a makeshift camp in the northwest corner of the island while OondiOoni (a.k.a. Oondy) sets off to find the player. Once the player and Oondy reach the camp, they are suddenly attacked by Ice Trolls who freeze several off the team members but are driven away by Grennfleagel, Ace, and Darlee. After some discussion, a smaller team consisting of the player, Oondy, and Guggenheimer venture into the island's interior to look for the Star Key. Along the way, the team gets attacked by Ice Trolls again and meets a friendly Kaboom! named SPARKY! who leads the team to the Kaboom! Village. The village chief, Chief BIGBANG!, reveals that the storm that shipwrecked the player's expedition team had been raging for a long time and speculates that it isn't natural. Chief BIGBANG! also mentions that the storm also shipwrecked the Wonderland Pirates and that as long as the storm is active, exit from Fire Island by ship would be impossible.

With the knowledge of Professor BLASTAZAR!, the Star Key is found inside of the Jungle Temple. As soon as the player shows the key to BLASTAZAR!, the Ice Trolls ambush them and steal the key. The player chases them inside of the temple where they get trapped inside the mirror chamber. They find the Fire Glyph inside the chamber and use it to teleport to the Volcano and subsequently escape back to the Jungle Temple area. Using the Friend Glyph, the player is teleported to the Acid Pools, and after making their way through the pools, they come across the Pirate Camp on the southeast corner of the island where the Wonderland Pirates set up camp after being shipwrecked. The player helps the Pirates and is rewarded with a lock pick needed to acquire the Ice Glyph. The Ice Glyph is used to warp to Sundog Island where some of the player's expedition team and Pirate crew recover the Star Key as well as find the Home Glyph which is used to ultimately return to Wonderland.

Wonderland Adventures: Planet of the Z-Bots

The player briefly visits Fire Island, more specifically the Kaboom! Village, in Wonderland Adventures: Planet of the Z-Bots as part of their victory tour after the destruction of the Planet of the Z-Bots.
