Inkopolis Plaza



Inkopolis Plaza is the hub world in Splatoon. From here, players can access various types of modes and shops as well as interacting with other player Inklings in the plaza via Miiverse. It is the heart of Inkopolis, where the Inklings live.

Appearance
The plaza is in the shape of a square with  a huge sidewalk and different shops to the side. At the far back is Inkopolis Tower which players can enter to access Regular Battle and Ranked Battle.



To the left of the main entrance is Booyah Base, a mall in which the player can buy gear from. The stores in this mall are Ammo Knights, the weapon shop, Cooler Heads, the headgear shop, Jelly Fresh, the clothing shop, and Shrimp Kicks, the shoe store. Each shop has a charismatic Shop Keeper, each one represents a different type of marine life. They are Sheldon, Annie (and Moe), Jelonzo, and Crusty Sean. There is also a manhole in the far right corner where Hero Mode is accessed. Other areas include one of the alleyways where Spyke can be found, the Arcade Machine across from the Booyah Base, and the amiibo area which can be found towards the back.

On the second floor Battle Dojo can be accessed, and you get get a closer look at the studio for the Squid Sisters.

After competing with or against other Inklings online, their Inklings will temporarily appear in the player's plaza. The player can then see the gear they used and order any items they may want. Ordered gear can be collected from Spyke.



Inkopolis Plaza featues two large statues; being a Tanuki and a Fox. The Fox is on top of Booyah Base whereas the Tanuki is on top of the studio for the Squid Sisters. The animals depicted on these statues were the two sides of the second Japanese Splatfest.
