'''Ancho-V Games''' is a video game company in the {{Ss}}. The office complex it is housed in serves as a multiplayer [[stage]] in ''[[Splatoon]]'' and ''[[Splatoon 2]]'' (also named Ancho-V Games). The defining features of the stage are [[Propeller|propeller lifts]] that are central to the navigation of the stage. In {{S3}}, Ancho-V Games is instead a [[List of bands in the Splatoon series|band]], with all [[Tableturf Battle]] [[music]] released under their name.

Ancho-V Games has raised floors and interactive platforms, and is unique in its incorporation of [[propeller]]s from [[Octo Valley (mode)|Octo Valley]] that activate lifts. When these are hit by [[ink]], the platform underneath moves. If the propellers are subsequently left uninked, the platform slowly falls back to its original position.

There are three different platforms with propellers that can be found on both sides of the stage, making a total of six. One can be found to the right of the [[spawn point]] that moves horizontally, another in the central part of the stage that moves vertically, and one to the left of the spawn point that moves both horizontally and vertically. There are small areas off to the side of each team's base that each contain a single propeller; following one of the areas eventually brings the player to the center of the stage. When lowered, the center is flat, except for a couple of boxes placed for cover.
'''Ancho-V Games''' is a multiplayer [[DLC]] [[stage]] in ''[[Splatoon]].'' It was announced on December 16, 2015 along with [[Piranha Pit]]<ref>[http://splatoonus.tumblr.com/post/135350811664/ {{SRL}} Live from Squid Research Lab: We've received these images of Piranha Pit and...]</ref> and was released on January 22nd at [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=02&min=0&sec=0&day=22&month=01&year=2016 02:00 UTC].<ref>[https://twitter.com/SplatoonJP/status/689991357230878721 {{TWI}} Splatoon JP]</ref> It is the final stage released for ''Splatoon''.<ref>[http://splatoonus.tumblr.com/post/137721043834/a-new-stage-ancho-v-games-is-joining-the {{SRL}} Live from Squid Research Lab: A new stage, Ancho-V Games, is joining the rotation tomorrow...]</ref>
 
In {{S2}}, the area to the left of the spawn point where the small, square propeller lift was located was removed and was replaced with a new section featuring a long, rectangular propeller lift which has walls on the sides for cover that allows players to drop into the middle area. The middle section has also been updated. The two propeller lifts have been cut in half and are now a lot smaller with small raised platforms added at the removed portions. Two pillars have been added at each team's right, which can be used as another method of getting to higher elevation aside from the propeller lift. The area immediately in front of the base has also been modified, with much more space accessible by the opposing team. [[Sponge]]s have also been added to the stage.
 
===Ranked Battle terrain===
In [[Ranked Battle]]s, specifications for the terrain or placement of objects are different between the [[mode]]s; these changes create new paths or new objects to take cover behind.
 
====[[Splat Zones]]====
The Splat Zone is located in the very center of the stage, included with the boxes in the middle. Some boxes have been added to the side lanes to give both teams some attacking space and to keep the other team from entering the center a certain way.


==Layout==
====[[Tower Control]]====
[[File:Map Ancho-V Games Turf War Overhead.jpg|thumb|300px|The map of {{PAGENAME}} at [[Turf War]].]]
The Tower is located at the center, replacing the boxes normally there. The goals are located near the front of each spawn point, which has also been moved to the left, replacing the floating platforms once there. The [[propeller]] in front of both teams' regular spawn area has been taken out and the platform has been extended permanently. Several boxes and platforms have been added to help with defense and offense for both teams.
Ancho-V Games is a large office complex housing a game design studio, hence its name. With raised floors and interactive platforms, it is unique in its incorporation of [[propeller]]s from [[Octo Valley (Mode)|Octo Valley]] in the form of fans. When these fans are hit by [[Ink]], the platform underneath moves. If the fans are subsequently left uninked, the platform will slowly fall back to its original position. There are three types of platforms: one to the right of the [[Spawn Point]] that moves horizontally, one in the central part of the [[stage]] that moves vertically, and one to the left of the Spawn Point that moves both horizontally and vertically. All three are mirrored on the other team's side of the stage.

===Fans===
====[[Rainmaker]]====
When a fan is activated, some of the [[Ink]] used to spin it comes out of the top similar to a [[Sprinkler]]. Also like a Sprinkler, this Ink does a small amount of damage if it hits a player of the opposing team. If they are splatted by this, the splat is attributed to the last player to spin the fan, but will say, "Splatted by ink from a propeller lift!"
The [[Rainmaker (weapon)|Rainmaker]] is located at the center, above the boxes in the middle. Boxes have been added to the middle area, giving players an extra route into enemy territory. A ramp has been added to reach the spawn area of each team and a pile of boxes near it. The goal is located near the spawn point next to a propeller lift. If the propeller on the platform is not [[ink]]ed, it can be difficult for a Rainmaker carrier to make the jump to the platform.


==Notable Locations==
In {{S2}}, the goal was moved to the new area that immediately drops off from the spawn point. A new inkable wall has been added in the central area to make accessible the opposing team's side easier. Three primary routes can be taken. The new inkable wall and propeller lift allow access to the left path. Using the Rainmaker shot itself, players can call in the propeller lift located on the right side of the stage which allows access to the right path.
*'''Side Lanes'''- These areas off the the sides can occasionally be missed later in the game unless a team is pushing into their enemy's base. They both feature a single propeller lift located in each spawn and have an entrance to the center, near their team's main lift. These areas open opportunities for flanks if a team gains control of the opposing team's main lift.
*'''Center Lifts'''- These are the main lifts used in all game modes. When lowered, the center looks flat, with a couple of boxes placed for cover. When the platforms are raised, the center becomes a center for close-combat, as there's no longer lots of room to move around in.


==Ranked Battle==
====[[Clam Blitz]]====
===[[Splat Zones]]===
The baskets are located deep into each team's side of the stage, located just in front of the drop from the plaza. To reach the basket, players must either ride up the propeller lift into the enemy area or swim up a small inkable block added to access the right path into the enemy base. The inkable pillar seen in other modes used as an alternative to the propeller lift has been removed.
The Splat Zone is located in the very center of the stage, included with the boxes in the middle. Some boxes have been added to the Side Lanes to give both teams some attacking space and to keep the other team from entering the center a certain way.


===[[Tower Control]]===
===''Splatoon''===
The tower is located at the center, replacing the boxes normally there. The goals are located near the front of each spawn, which has also been moved to the left, replacing the floating platforms once there. The fan in front or both team's regular spawn has been taken out and the platform has been extended permanently. Several boxes and platforms have been added to help with defense and offense for both teams.

===[[Rainmaker]]===
====Version history====
The rainmaker is located at the center, above the boxes in the middle. Boxes have been added to the middle area, giving players an extra route into enemy territory. A ramp has been added to reach the spawn area of each team and a pile of boxes near it. The goal is located near the spawn next to an ink-propelled moving platform. If the fan on the platform is not inked, it can be difficult for a Rainmaker carrier to make the jump to the platform.

==Tips==
====Gallery====
*It is possible to hinder teammates' movement by activating fans at inopportune times. Being aware of what one's allies are doing can help to prevent this and coordinate attacks.
*The area directly right of each team's spawn point is a commonly missed place in [[Turf War]]. Make sure to ink it.

Ancho-V Games is a video game company in the Splatoon series. The office complex it is housed in serves as a multiplayer stage in Splatoon and Splatoon 2 (also named Ancho-V Games). The defining features of the stage are propeller lifts that are central to the navigation of the stage. In Splatoon 3, Ancho-V Games is instead a band, with all Tableturf Battle music released under their name.

As a stage

Layout

Ancho-V Games has raised floors and interactive platforms, and is unique in its incorporation of propellers from Octo Valley that activate lifts. When these are hit by ink, the platform underneath moves. If the propellers are subsequently left uninked, the platform slowly falls back to its original position.

There are three different platforms with propellers that can be found on both sides of the stage, making a total of six. One can be found to the right of the spawn point that moves horizontally, another in the central part of the stage that moves vertically, and one to the left of the spawn point that moves both horizontally and vertically. There are small areas off to the side of each team's base that each contain a single propeller; following one of the areas eventually brings the player to the center of the stage. When lowered, the center is flat, except for a couple of boxes placed for cover.

In Splatoon 2, the area to the left of the spawn point where the small, square propeller lift was located was removed and was replaced with a new section featuring a long, rectangular propeller lift which has walls on the sides for cover that allows players to drop into the middle area. The middle section has also been updated. The two propeller lifts have been cut in half and are now a lot smaller with small raised platforms added at the removed portions. Two pillars have been added at each team's right, which can be used as another method of getting to higher elevation aside from the propeller lift. The area immediately in front of the base has also been modified, with much more space accessible by the opposing team. Sponges have also been added to the stage.

Ranked Battle terrain

In Ranked Battles, specifications for the terrain or placement of objects are different between the modes; these changes create new paths or new objects to take cover behind.

Splat Zones

The Splat Zone is located in the very center of the stage, included with the boxes in the middle. Some boxes have been added to the side lanes to give both teams some attacking space and to keep the other team from entering the center a certain way.

Tower Control

The Tower is located at the center, replacing the boxes normally there. The goals are located near the front of each spawn point, which has also been moved to the left, replacing the floating platforms once there. The propeller in front of both teams' regular spawn area has been taken out and the platform has been extended permanently. Several boxes and platforms have been added to help with defense and offense for both teams.

In Splatoon 2, checkpoints have been added:
Checkpoint Location Timer (Seconds) Progress Amount
Before After Total
1 The first checkpoint is located in the center of the stage near the inkable pillar. 81 69 12
2 The second checkpoint is located near the ramp in the raised area overlooking the center. 46 38 8
3 The third checkpoint is located in the area in front of spawn right before the goal. 21 8 12
Some values may be inconsistent (Still acquiring data)

Rainmaker

The Rainmaker is located at the center, above the boxes in the middle. Boxes have been added to the middle area, giving players an extra route into enemy territory. A ramp has been added to reach the spawn area of each team and a pile of boxes near it. The goal is located near the spawn point next to a propeller lift. If the propeller on the platform is not inked, it can be difficult for a Rainmaker carrier to make the jump to the platform.

In Splatoon 2, the goal was moved to the new area that immediately drops off from the spawn point. A new inkable wall has been added in the central area to make accessible the opposing team's side easier. Three primary routes can be taken. The new inkable wall and propeller lift allow access to the left path. Using the Rainmaker shot itself, players can call in the propeller lift located on the right side of the stage which allows access to the right path.

Clam Blitz

The baskets are located deep into each team's side of the stage, located just in front of the drop from the plaza. To reach the basket, players must either ride up the propeller lift into the enemy area or swim up a small inkable block added to access the right path into the enemy base. The inkable pillar seen in other modes used as an alternative to the propeller lift has been removed.

Album art

In Splatoon 3, all the music that plays in Tableturf Battles is credited to Ancho-V Games. Their music has a chiptune style with almost no vocals, imitative of traditional video game music; this theme is furthered by the structure of their songs' names as descriptions of when they play.
