A subtrope of Chess Motifs. Somewhere "else" has this checkered motif on the floors, walls or both. It could be a Mental World, a Layered World or just an Eldritch Location. Not necessarily Human Chess, but who knows? Also known as the Mason Checkered Floor. Compare White Void Room. See also Cosmic Chess Game. |

Many of the Witches in Puella Magi Madoka Magica have this motif somewhere inside their closed off worlds. The page image up there appears in the first episode. Interestingly, that particular area is never shown again, and it's unclear what exactly it is. At the start of episode 9, when Sayaka becomes a witch, the surroundings turn into a bizarre depression in the ground, with the witch Oktavia in the center. The entire terrain has a black and white checkerboard design. Interestingly, when Kyouko and Madoka return to the barrier to actually fight Oktavia, the astral checkerboard is completely gone, replaced with an elaborate concert hall where her familiars are performing a symphony. When Homura fights the wraiths at the end of the manga, the fight takes place in a dungeon with a checkered floor. Margot's labyrinth is particularly filled with this in Puella Magi Oriko Magica. |

Checkerboards appear throughout Tokyo Ghoul, and are typically either hint at hidden danger or Kaneki's damaged mental state. The primary example is Yamori's Playroom, where Kaneki endures 10 days of torture prior to embracing his Ghoul nature. At several points after that, he hallucinates checkered patterns on floors, walls, or even skies. Another, more subtle example is the checkered pattern on the floors of Uta's shop, hinting at their true nature as The Chessmaster manipulating events behind the scenes. | |

The Legend of Zelda The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: The Southern Face Shrine has this design. It appears earlier in the game as well, but this is the point where it's most appropriate. It's where Link discovers that the island is part of a dream-made-real, created by the Wind Fish. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: The checkerboard floor of the Temple of Time, which serves as the resting ground for the Master Sword. The Forest Temple has rooms with this pattern as well. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: The Ancient Castle of Ikana features this, as well as some parts of the Stone Tower Temple. |

Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario Bros. 3: Checkerboard tiles in floors show up on certain fortresses, as well as the walls of the kings' castles. Given the Alice in Wonderland roots of the franchise, it makes sense. Luigi's Mansion: The Astral Hall is a mysterious room located in the second floor that features a checkerboard design in the floors as well as the walls. Luigi has to light the candles to make ghosts appear and capture them to reach the Observatory, where he unveils a mystic path reminiscent of outer space. Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2: The green tiles will actually disappear if Mario/Luigi were to step on them. Also, in the first game, the staircase leading to the planet on which Mario/Luigi fights Bowser will be smashed apart by meteorites. |

Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2: The green tiles will actually disappear if Mario/Luigi were to step on them. Also, in the first game, the staircase leading to the planet on which Mario/Luigi fights Bowser will be smashed apart by meteorites. | |

During Susie's nightmare during In Love and War, several cardboard boxes fall from the sky, some with the bottoms black, others white. Once they are finished falling, they resemble a giant checkerboard. | |

Luigi's Mansion: The Astral Hall is a mysterious room located in the second floor that features a checkerboard design in the floors as well as the walls. Luigi has to light the candles to make ghosts appear and capture them to reach the Observatory, where he unveils a mystic path reminiscent of outer space. | |

All over The Matrix. The first movie makes clear Shout Outs to Alice in Wonderland, and one example of a checkerboard is when Neo is informed by Mr. Exposition Morpheus. In one DVD Commentary, the creators mention that checkerboards and grids are an obvious Visual Pun on the work's title. A matrix is a rectilinear grid of cells. |

Chessboard patterns appear throughout the Don't Hug Me I'm Scared series: the dining room floor in DHMIS 1, the bathroom floor in 2, the picnic mat in 3, the digital world in 4, and the kitchen tiles in 5. This all foreshadows an important setting in the sixth and final episode: the Lotus-Eater Machine nature of the world they live in; the world's control room also has chessboard flooring. | |
