Description[]
Bewitching Flower's Imperial Capital Kelper's Walking Path (Imperial Capital for short) is one of the only asymmetrical stages in the game. The stage is divided into two sections, one holding keys A and E whilst the other section holds B, C and D.
The only way to access the different sides is by either jumping off the spawn platform to get to the desired area or by crossing a long bridge in the middle of the stage. This creates an interesting dynamic wherein the 3v3 nature of the game is often separated into a 1v1 and 2v2 happening simultaneously. The issues arise when one of the groups is experiencing trouble, as the only way to assist allies on the other side of the map is by making your way across the long bridge, and it might be too late by the time you arrive.
Key C is positioned directly in the middle of keys B and D, but is in a little crevice in the wall. This forces players to put themselves in harms way to capture the middle point, essentially running at the enemy and cornering themselves to achieve the goal.
The map is themed around Ouka Tadaomi and his army of Kelpers, as can be seen in the name. Kelpers can be found all around the outskirts of the map alongside the cherry blossoms and flowing river.

Trivia[]
- Unsurprisingly, this stage is one of the biggest in the game when file size is considered due to the fact that a large part of the surrounding town is modeled.
- The moon is actually modeled in the sky. It can be seen on the side of the map with key C.
- There are cars and trains that will occasionally drive by the sides of the map.
- The map looks a little bit like the head of a Kelper, but this may be coincidental.
