The Deepsea Metro is a subway system running deep beneath Inkopolis that serves as the mission hub for the Octo Expansion. It operated by the Kamabo Corporation, and its conductor is C.Q. Cumber. Iso Padre, Cap'n Cuttlefish, and the denizens of the deep are seen riding in subway cars as passengers, with specific denizens varying based on which line the car is on.

The Deepsea Metro runs along ten lines, denoted by letters A to J, each containing stations that make up the Expansion's levels. There are a total of 85 stations, including eighty mission stations, four thang stations, and Central Station. 22 of the mission stations are exchange stations, connecting two different lines of the Metro. When Agent 8 completes an exchange station's mission for the first time, the connecting line is revealed and C.Q. Cumber gives them CQ Points as a reward.

After arriving on board:
I'm pooped, Agent 8. Gotta rest my cuttlebones here for a bit.
You gotta be squiddin' me! A talkin' sea slug?!
That's right! We want out of here!
So all we gotta do is pass some tests and find some thangs and we can go home?
After clearing Fake Plastic Station:
Huh... Is this thing working?!
Oho! I hear something! Come in, Agent 3! Agent 3, do you copy?!
EXUSE ME?
Hwa-?! Who am I speaking to? Where is Agent 3?! State your names!
Oho?! Check it, kid. Are you stepping to me with a rap battle?
MC Craig in the house!
Call me Cap'n Cuttlefish, but not because I cuddle with fish. Smooth like butta bet you wish that you could stunt a flow like this!
Mount Nantai... Why, that's near Octo Valley!
Agent 8 and I were near there, but someone seems to have taken us deep underground...
OK, well... Anyone who loves rapping is a friend of mine. Thanks for your help!
We're off to pass some sorta tests and make our way to the promised land!
And by "we," I mean you, Agent 8! Time to get after it!

C.Q. Cumber's Quotes

Greeting the heros:
Thank you for using Deepsea Metro today.
I am your humble conductor, C.Q. Cumber.
Pardon me? I take it this is your first time riding with us...
Here's the deal...
We're in a vast underground facility operated by the Kamabo Corporation...
It's a series of test chambers connected by the Deepsea Metro subway system.
I see that you're in possession of a CQ-80 device.
I take it your aim is to reach the promised land?
Understood.
The promised land is a paradise to which we denizens of the depths are forbidden entry.
To reach it, you must pass a test at each Deepsea Metro station.
You must also find and collect the four thangs.
When all four thangs have been gathered, the door to the promised land shall open.
I believe so... Let me show you to your first test. Press X to activate your CQ-80.

Step to my game? I'll bring the pain. I'm never shook because I'm OFF THE HOOK!

Answering Cuttlefish:
Pearl! Didn't anyone teach you to respect your elders?!
OK, you two... That's ENOUGH!
Mr. Cuttlefish, was it? We found a radio here and heard your transmission.
We're currently on Mount Nantai. Where are you calling from?
I see... So you and this...Agent 8 don't know where you are? Sorry to hear that...
But worry not! From now on, you'll have me, Marina-aka DJ_Hyperfresh, supporting you!
I'll get to work analyzing your surroundings, and hopefully I'll be of some help to you!

Trivia

  • With exchange stations having two numbers, one for each of the lines they connect to, the first number is always backwards alphabetically. For example, Girl Power Station is denoted J03D08 (and not D08J03) because J comes after D in the alphabet.
    • The mem cake for these stations is always from the series of the latter letter line as well.
  • The music played in the subway train has a few notes of the Calamari Inkantation played in the background.
    • More notes are added as Agent 8 gains access to more lines. After clearing the game, the complete track containing the main melody of the Calamari Inkantation is played.
    • According to a Famitsu interview,[1] Sound Director Minegishi comments that the Calamari Inkantation can be constructed as Agent 8's auditory hallucination, an inner melody of their mind that intensifies as more of their memory returns.
  • A poster advertisement of a video game console, resembling a Nintendo Entertainment System, can be seen in the subway train.
  • Deepsea Metro can be construed as a homonym of the D.C. Metro.
