Goby Arena is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon 2. It is designed after a basketball court with overhead monitors, and the hoops are inkable and play a strategic role in both Regular Battles and Ranked Battles.

Layout

Goby Arena is a stage featuring many levels, hallways and ramps leading into a central basketball court that functions as the central battleground. The spawn point is located at the highest point of the stage, inaccessible to the opposing team. The area immediately surrounding the spawn provides a large amount of inkable turf that is inaccessible to the opposing team. Furthermore, the level just below is also inaccessible to the opposing team, where the player can either drop off to a small plaza connected to the main court, take an Inkrail to the left leading to the raised platforms over the court, or take a ramp to the right leading to the outer area. The lower hallways connecting each team's side to the central court contains uninkable ramps, making infiltrating the opposing team's base dangerous. A grate is also present on the left hallway. The basketball court is a fairly flat open area with two basketball hoops attached to inkable pillars to the left and right which can be used to get to the opposing team's upper area. Two small Bumpers are on each team's side with a wide Bumper at the center of the stage. A raised area overseeing the central court is present on each team's side, offering a loose vantage point.

Ranked Battle terrain

The most noticeable changes to the stage are the removal of the fence on each team's side and the addition of a large inkable block over the uninkable ramp previously there with a grated bridge on top. The goal is located on the lower plaza of the opposing team's side.

Checkpoints:

  • The first checkpoint is located right below the basketball hoop.
  • The second checkpoint is located on the lip of the upper platform looking over the basketball court.
  • The third checkpoint is located on the newly added platform right before leading into the opponents' plaza.

Rainmaker
