Description
Splatoon 2
Deca Tower is a skyscraper covered in large billboards, some of which are electronic. It highly resembles the real-life One Times Square building located in New York City. After the Great Zapfish is rescued, it can be seen resting atop the Tower.
The Tower's base features a lobby entrance similar to Inkopolis Tower's, featuring an elevator-like entrance surrounded by electronic screens showcasing the currently available stages. Above the lobby entrance, a total of 19 billboards are affixed to the Tower, two of which are electronic; one electronic billboard is rectangular and prominently placed at the front of the Tower, while the other electronic billboard is shaped like a massive version of the smartphones Inklings can be seen using, complete with an oversized charger connector plugged in.
