You'll need the Skip Sandwich and the Picnic Lunch to get past the first two rooms. The rest of the rooms can be blazed through with the things you find in this maze.

Monkonna is a Madonna reference, for those who didn't catch it.

The Flame Pendant reduces damage from fire-based attacks.

King Banana is an item that is exclusive to this maze and can only be used to get past one of the rooms for a Neutralizer. As the item description indicates, it is not edible, so you can only use it to get into one room in the maze.

"Mon K. Mon" is most likely pronounced like "Monkey Man" with a thick British accent. Or something.

When you use the Pencil Eraser to get to the last room, you'll be able get a Cup of Lifenoodles and the Brain Food Lunch, the latter of which recovers 300 HP and 50 PP. You'll also be able to talk to Talah Rama, who will tell you that he has been waiting for you and that the four of you will defeat Giygas and bring peace to the world. He will also give you the Yogurt Dispenser, which you'll need to use in Fourside.

Before you leave, you will be able to learn to teleport by talking to the nearby monkey. When you talk to the monkey, you will have to leave the maze. When you make it back to the entrance, talk to the monkey again and follow it to the desert road to learn Teleport Alpha. This spell will require a bit of running room, and if you run into anything as you do it, it will not work. If it works, you'll be able to teleport to any town you need to get to. You can change direction while building up speed, but watch what you're doing.

From here, call Escargo Express and get rid of the Pencil Eraser, as you won't need it any more for the rest of the game. Getting rid of the Brain Food Lunch for later is also strongly advised. Next stop: Fourside.

The woman needing the Yogurt Dispenser will be outside the Department Store. Talk to her with the Yogurt Dispenser, and she will be able to make trout-flavored yogurt for guests. She will tell you to meet her on the 48th floor of the Monotoli Building.
