Most of these monsters are of the [[construct]] family, even though these areas are usually indicated by the "gremlin grounds" gate icon.

Compact Area is an unofficial "region term" encompassing a collection of levels which feature compressed puzzles and an area of centralized combat, usually with one or more Battlepods.

Notes

These levels are not encountered in the arcade.

A Compact Area is reminiscent of Clockwork Tunnels: Mechanized Mile, in that its appearance changes with status theme, as do many of the monsters found here. Most of these monsters are of the construct family, even though these areas are usually indicated by the "gremlin grounds" gate icon.

They seem to be "factories" or "storage areas." The large number of breakable blocks in Compact Area seems fitting, as many of these blocks are have the appearance of miscellaneous boxes.

Compact Areas consist of five major map parts: the beginning, middle area, connector, arena, and end. This miniature arena always features one or more Battlepods of some kind, with the exception of missions involving Sputterspark.

Four missions have a Compact Area featuring Battlepods:

Two with Sputterspark:
