### The Player

* "I see... it's a very bright and cheerful island indeed. It's as if the entire island is welcoming the visitors to stay a while."

## Trivia

* As opposed to the Robot Park being covered in nothing but sand before being renovated, this island is covered entirely in snow.
	+ Despite being one of the islands located in an almost entirely tropical area, this is the only island to be experiencing a blizzard, hence inspiring part of its namesake.
* Purrcy reveals he hates the cold and also getting buried in snow.
	+ Despite this, he states how he loves to play in the snow.
* During the opening of the chapter, Purrcy's dialogue implies that both he and the player both live in his island.
* There is no cutscene following steps two, four, seven, nine, twenty five, twenty six, twenty eight, thirty, and thirty one.
	+ Step Ten is the first in *Mystic Islands* to require 9 stars alone (not including segmented; 3x3 = 9).
		- This is followed by Step Twenty, wherein it is the first in the game to require 10 stars alone (excluding segmented; 5x2 = 10).
* One of Purrcy's idle quotes refers to the player as a kid. Though, knowing Purrcy's nature, he could only be teasing.
* Ra reveals he prefers cold places to relax in, as his job as the Sun Deity requires him to do work at a tropical climate.
	+ This also explains how his very presence immediately halted the strong blizzard upon his arrival.
		- Although, at the time, it seems Purrcy still has not put two and two together even after Ra directly introduces himself as the Sun Deity.
		- But, upon further inspection, it seems he simply calmed the blizzard into slight snowfall rather than make it stop completely.
	+ In addition to having pyrokinesis, he also has fire immunity. As he reveals that he can ingest hot food and such without being affected by their temperature.
		- To which Purrcy reveals as a trait he is jealous of, as he claims to have a rather sensitive tongue "despite [Purrcy's] appearance".
			* However, in the following idle quotes, Ra is seen talking to himself, revealing how he actually felt the soup's heat, and continues to remind himself that he can't afford to complain about "small stuff like this".
* Ra also reveals he likes the red color the player picked out for his house because "it's the same color as him". Although, his feathers appear to be a light orange rather than red.
* Ra also reveals to love climbing the roof of his new two-storey house, but forbids the player from imitating him as it was dangerous.
* Ra reveals he likes drinking soup, and in response to this simultaneous revelation, Purrcy reveals he hates surprises like these.
* Ra is the first client of the Mystic Islands to voluntarily want to leave his respective island.
* It is hinted that the setbacks of Ra's job forces him put on a cheery attitude, and may leave him at the risk of punishment if he "whines or complains". Thus, sometimes leaving him in a trance-like state reminding himself in a robotic manner to stay upbeat.
	+ In the following cutscenes, it is further revealed he is not allowed to have any personal wants, either.
	+ He finally snaps after the sight of the outdoor lamps the player makes him, revealing that he is forced to do his job as essentially the sun's replacement for all eternity with no breaks.
* Ra reveals he has never heard of a snowman nor a snowball fight before, but is a quick learner after Purrcy and the player teaches him about them.
* Purrcy reveals that comforters *(kotatsu)* come from the human world and can also be bought in *Nyamazon*. He adds on, saying how he loves curling up under them.

### Cultural References

* *Ra's* name is taken from the Egyptian god of the same name. In Egyptian mythology, Ra is usually shown with a solar disk, his name can also combined with Amun as Amun-Ra, also known as the solar creator god.
* Comforters, most commonly known as *kotatsu*, exist in real life and are often used by people in Japan during the winter or cold seasons.
	+ Additionally, Purrcy's idle quote about getting comforters at Nyamazon, is a reference to the real-life online shopping site, *Amazon*.
* Purrcy's idle quotes recommending the player to take pictures of their snowman with decorated ornaments for followers is a reference to posting pictures onto social media in hopes of gaining traction and new followers.
* Purrcy mentioning how he saw on TV of a holiday humans celebrate during the winter season with decorations, presents, and "a guy in red" delivering presents to human children called "Christmas" is the same real-world holiday.
	+ Additionally, one of his idle quotes about it is a reference to how parents are usually the one putting the presents under the tree or so and pretend to know Santa personally, keeping it a secret from their children.

### Continuity

* This is the second time during the *Mystic Islands* game wherein Purrcy denies being a cat after he is "mistaken" as one by a client.
	+ This is the fourth time the client of an island offers to help with the renovation.
* This chapter recalls Purrcy being a Nyamazon user from his idle quotes, as revealed from the previous chapter.
* Purrcy's "Super Miracle Purrcy Punch" move first mentioned in the previous chapter is referenced again.
* Purrcy's idle quote asking which color present the player likes, followed by the idle quote saying the player is "just like him" is a reference to a similar conversation about the colored origami paper in The Oriental Room from *Mystic Mansion*.

## Errors

* Steps two and three's instructions only say "Help Purrcy / Help Purrcy some more" while not specifying to help dig him out of the snow.
* When explaining why he blurted out that he likes soup, the dialogue with the explanation was animated as if Purrcy said it, alongside the speech box and name tag, as opposed to having Ra say it.
* The step says to "Make a path to the wooden deck" when the deck is supposed to be built afterwards.
* The step "Prepare a chair" has its icon display two chairs, which the player makes. But, the cutscene dialogue also treats it as just a singular chair.
	+ During the same cutscene, in the global version, part of Ra's dialogue says "But, I'm the Sun" instead of "Sun Deity".
* Purrcy asks the player to also make him some soup in his idle quotes despite him standing by an extra bowl on the table.
* Similar to the "Prepare a chair" step and its cutscene, the "Place an outdoor light" step alongside its cutscene both treat the multiple lamps as just a singular object.
* Purrcy's idle quote, "We have to make sure the guests of the Mystic Islands are happy." has "of" written as "to".
* Purrcy's line, "It'd be nice if he could just forget about being the Sun Deity and keep playing like this forever, heheh." has "keep" worded incorrectly as "keeping".
* Steps Twenty and Twenty One treat the two snowmen as just a singular snowman.
* Step Twenty Five/Twenty Six treats the gifts as a singular gift.
* Meowlin's line "The human must have already realized" is incorrectly written as "The human must already realize".
* In the photo album shot for the chapter, the smallest snowman sitting by Ra's porch is nowhere to be seen.
