A collection of interconnected, varied dimensions, brought together in one place.
The Darkshine Carnival is one of the four districts of Fantasium- the westernmost district, connected to Moonview City in the south and The Treebound Sanctum in the north. It is a relatively small area, linked to Moonview through a series of gift shop-esque buildings, and the Treebound Sanctum through the Castle Parade, however the amusement part look of it is not all that there is to it.
The big top acts as a monorail station between different areas- all disconnected, but all part of the same Darkshine Carnival.
The several areas are not often accessed by Fantasms not from the area surrounding the Carnival itself, but that's not because Scribe won't allow it- he's more than open to it, in fact! Even if it makes Dirge a little competitive over the variety of food, Cafe Carro is not the only food place, after all. However, those that do delve deeper into what the Carnival has to offer have found a myriad of strange and wonderful areas- the sparkling snow and giant ferris wheel of Mr. Frosty-Freezy's Doughnut Palor, the ever-present fog and withered trees of the Ghost Train, the steep walls around the Cliffside Cafe, and so, so much more!
