Notable Locations

 * Raised Walkway - The raised walkway is a grated walkway that runs throughout the entire map and to the tower in the middle. It can be useful for quickly getting to the middle of the map and claiming the area around it, and for looking over the lower walls of the map and surprising enemies. It can also be useful for quickly getting to the opposite side of the dome. The downside to using the elevated walkway to travel is that it will leave the player exposed because if the player's Inkling turns into a squid while on the walkway, they will fall through the floor and onto ground level.
 * Middle Tower - The tower in the middle of the map can be a great vantage point for Chargers and will likely be sought after throughout an entire battle. The area around it can be easily claimed once a team has claimed the tower. It can also be used to look over walls and fire over them to ink some more turf.

Splat Zones
In the Kelp Dome, the Splat Zone is located at the center of the map, and is in the shape of a square. It is divide in two halves because of the tower in the middle. There are some boxes close to each team's starting points so they can quickly reach the middle after re-spawning. Boxes have also been added to the Raised Walkways and can provide a recharge and hiding spot for inklings.

Trivia
The Kelp Dome is the second map where the Re-spawn Point is not accessible on foot; the first being Saltspray Rig.
