Rainbow Street is the in-game name shared by fourteen maps that make up the eastern half of Maple Island, covering the town of Amherst, the wild-forest side hunting grounds branching off it, and the fields stretching east from town. The label appears on each map's location tag and in the world-map UI. Where the canonical tutorial walk on Maple Road runs roughly straight from spawn to ferry, Rainbow Street fans out: from The Field West of Amherst at the western entry, six small hunting-ground maps branch off in different directions, and Amherst itself has four sub-maps for its town interior and shops.

Overview
Maple Island is divided in the game's world-map data into two named streets. Maple Road covers the spawn-to-ferry walk across the eleven western maps. Rainbow Street covers the remaining fourteen maps east of A Split Road. The boundary between the two streets falls at A Split Road: its map carries the Maple Road label, but its northeast portal opens into Rainbow Street's western hub, The Field West of Amherst.
Rainbow Street has no equivalent to Southperry's ferry; it is a side excursion off the canonical tutorial line rather than a step on the way out of Maple Island. A player who takes the boat as soon as they hit the meso requirement can leave Maple Island without ever entering Rainbow Street. A player who detours for Amherst's quest line, or who trains on the wild-forest hunting grounds for extra levels, spends most of their Rainbow Street time on the seven west-side maps (the hub plus its six branches) and in the four-map Amherst cluster.
The street is structurally a barbell: a forested western hub that fans out into six hunting-ground branches, then the town of Amherst in the middle, then a short two-map field chain that ends at Tomato Field.
Maps
The fourteen maps that carry the Rainbow Street label, grouped by sub-area and listed roughly west to east:
| Map | Sub-area | Notable NPCs / role |
|---|---|---|
| The Field West of Amherst | Western hub | (no NPCs; six-way junction) |
| In a Small Forest | Forest branches | (hunting ground) |
| Dangerous Forest | Forest branches | (hunting ground) |
| Mushroom Garden | Forest branches | (hunting ground) |
| Snail Garden | Forest branches | (hunting ground) |
| Hunting Ground Middle of the Forest I | Forest branches | (hunting ground) |
| Hunting Ground Middle of the Forest II | Forest branches | (hunting ground) |
| Amherst | Amherst | Lucas, Pio, Rain |
| Amherst Townstreet | Amherst | (interior street) |
| Amherst Weapon Store | Amherst | (shop) |
| Amherst Department Store | Amherst | (shop) |
| Snail Field of Flowers | Amherst (hidden) | (off Amherst Townstreet) |
| The Field East of Amherst | Eastern fields | (hunting ground) |
| Tomato Field | Eastern fields | (hunting ground, dead end) |
Music
Rainbow Street uses two background tracks across its fourteen maps:
- "Rest 'N Peace" plays in the seven wild-forest maps west of Amherst (the hub plus its six branches) and in Tomato Field.
- "Floral Life" plays in the four-map Amherst town cluster, on The Field East of Amherst, and on the hidden Snail Field of Flowers off Amherst Townstreet.
Monsters
Rainbow Street hosts the same low-level monsters as Maple Road (Snail, Blue Snail, Red Snail, Shroom) and adds the Orange Mushroom. Orange Mushrooms appear on several of the forest branches and on the eastern field maps, which is what makes Mai's Final Training effectively a "cross into Rainbow Street and find one" quest.
Quests
Rainbow Street's quests anchor on the three NPCs in Amherst:
- Lucas' Reply, from Lucas, the turn-in side of the cross-street Letter for Lucas courier chain that begins on A Split Road.
- Pio's Collecting Recycled Goods, from Pio, a small fetch quest in town.
- Rain's Maple Quiz, from Rain, the seven-question trivia chain that pays out a cumulative 490 EXP.
