Alleyway (location)

The Alleyway is an interstellar cosmic location in which Alleyway takes place. The Alleyway consists of fields, referred to as stages in-game, which contain lines of space grids. The Alleyway is only mentioned on the box art and promotional material, and is never mentioned in-game.

It is stated that Mario's spaceship "is at the gate of the Alleyway".

The North American box art and the Japanese box art depict the Alleyway differently. The Japanese box art is darker, has several planets, but contains less stars.
