The Sol Arcade is a room in Jamaa Township where Jammers are able to play many of the mini-games found throughout Jamaa. It was introduced on February 2, 2012. It can be directly teleported to by clicking the spaceship-like building in the Jamaa Township section of the World Map.

Appearance

The outside of the arcade is a round building with a sloped straw roof and a rocket ship entrance. The rocket ship is cream-colored with dark orange fins and nose cone. Attached to the rocket ship is a sign with a game controller symbol on it. The rocket ship has a small window cut out of its side as well as an arched doorway that leads into the arcade. There are various seasonal decorations placed around the entrance at different months of the year.

The inside of the arcade has an outer space theme with walls depicting sharp mountain peaks against a starry night sky that includes animated shooting stars. The floor is mostly orange with red and yellow circles in a retro-themed design. The arcade is full of natural rock formations and bright, animated lights that form paths between the different wooden gaming platforms.

Attractions

The arcade is filled with playable versions of most of the mini-games found in Jamaa. Near the entrance is The Claw Machine and a Phantom Invasion machine can be found further down.

Shops

Near the entrance, there is a UFO-shaped game shop where Jammers can buy their favorite arcade machines to place them inside their dens. On the right side of the arcade is a platform for the Astronomy Shop, where Jammers can buy a variety of astronomy-themed den items.

Trivia

• If the player watches the small window above the entrance on the inside, eventually they will see the faint outline of an alien-like creature.
• River Race was originally available in the Sol Arcade as both a game and an item, but it was later removed and replaced by Splash and Dash.
• This is the only arcade in Jamaa.
• Sometimes, because of a glitch, the player can walk over the doorway without actually accessing the arcade itself, getting stuck in the front door in the process.
• Only the land version of Best Dressed can be played in the Sol Arcade; the underwater version can only be played by going underwater.
• The Sol Arcade has a den based off of it that can be bought in the Diamond Shop for five Diamonds. It is called the Sol Arcade Den.
• Behind Eat 'Em Up, Best Dressed, and Hedge Hog there is a boarded up secret door.
• When the entrance is hovered over with the mouse, it makes a creaking sound even though it doesn't have any door. This sound can be heard even when the game is muted.
• Its first appearance was a hut and was soon replaced as a rocket.
• During the Night of the Phantoms, the Sol Arcade entrance has a golden glow coming from the doorway and a Phantom decoration next to it.
• The name "Sol Arcade" is most likely a play-on-words of the words "solar" and "arcade", as supported by the Sol Arcade's space-themed building and interior.
