The Aurora Isles is a region. Regions categorize levels with similar characteristics that have been incorporated into the Clockworks.

Description
From atop mysterious floating islands, sun bleached ruins crumble under a false sky. Though the green grass and cool air feels real enough, the ever present grinding of the machine just below the surface is a constant reminder of this world's mechanical skeleton. — Gate Icons
Notes
Each level map is fixed. When accessible via the arcade, they are always found in a rotation of 4 levels with each other in the depth they occupy. Rotation time seems to always be 2 minutes or less. Compared to other areas, the Aurora Isles are a rare sight in arcade gates.
Levels are populated by multitudes of Wolvers and Jelly Cubes. A few Chromalisks, Lichens, and Lumbers appear in certain levels, and Gun Puppies only show up in The Low Gardens.
Similar grassy terrain can be seen in levels of the Jigsaw Valley and Treasure Vault. The Aurora Isles seem to be associated with the obsolete Starlight Cradle region, sharing similar terrain and soundtrack.

Strategy
Strategy DisclaimerA shadow sword will take care of slimes and is fine against beasts. A bomb such as the Obsidian Crusher or Dark Retribution will help quickly defeat groups of enemies here. Bring a handgun for Gun Puppies (such as the Polaris or Winter Grave) if exploring The Low Gardens. Bring a handgun for the puzzle in Stone Grove.
