Carnival of Doom
From Ace Lightning Wiki
This article focuses on the group of villains and the Sixth Dimension's incarnation of the carnival. For information on the Earth-based location of the same name, visit The Kent Bros. Carnival article for more details.
The Carnival of Doom, also known as the Evil Gang, are a group of villains that make up the antagonists of the franchise and enemies to the Lightning Knights. Their goal is to effectively conquer the world and the universe using the Amulet of Zoar's powers. Lord Fear wishes to accomplish this by conquering one dimension at a time. The second leader, Kilobyte, originally intended to destroy Ace Lightning alone but he later decided to conquer the world, by trapping mankind in the Sixth Dimension and having the creatures of the Sixth Dimension rule the Earth. The villains all have a circus, carnival or freakshow-related element to them.
Most members are shown to have a fixture around the carnival that is their "home" which they morph out of from time to time. If destroyed by attacks from the Lightning Knights, they will eventually regenerate from that item.

[edit] The Carnival Itself
The Sixth Dimension's carnival is the original hideout for the villains, created by Lord Fear. It is said to have been created from Lord Fear's twisted imagination, explaining its rather dark and nightmarish appearance. The carnival is made out of large red and white striped booths and other buildings that make up the attractions. The main path through the carnival is through the dark midway which is lined with various booths containing games including several shooting galleries.
At the end of the midway is the carnival's signature attraction, the Haunted House, or the House of Horrors. Lord Fear dwells here. The different game versions display different attractions of the carnival.
The Gameboy Advance version has a ghost train, a tunnel of love, a fortune teller's tent, a western-themed adventure alley, a puppet theatre, a waxworks museum/factory, a carousel, a circus, a hall of mirrors, a log flume ride, a fun house and the house of horrors.
The Playstation 2 and PC versions have five distinct areas that somewhat connect to the carnival, but appear to be separate locations in the Sixth Dimension, excluding the Haunted House. These areas are:
- The Haunted House: The final area of the carnival, home to Lord Fear and Staff Head.
- Googler's Big Top: A nightmarish circus owned by Googler.
- The House of Illusion: A funhouse-esque location, appearing as a stately manor with grounds, owned by Lady Illusion.
- Cowboy Crossroads: A western-themed frontier land where everything appears to be undead or death-related.
- Climbcrag Castle: A large medieval castle seemingly built in the middle of a volcano or a fiery location.
