'''Urchin Underpass''' is an online multiplayer [[stage]] in ''[[Splatoon]]''. It is also used in [[Octo Valley (mode)|Octo Valley]] [[mission]] #21, [[Unwelcome Flying Object]], as well as the [[Battle Dojo]].
Urchin Underpass consists of two large L-shaped areas of land that are joined together by a rectangular piece of land between them. It takes place below a highway.

Urchin Underpass consists of two large L-shaped areas of land that are joined together by a rectangular piece of land between them.


==Notable Locations==
The [[spawn point]] of Urchin Underpass is fairly complicated despite being a usually neglected area. It is a large, enclosed area with several slopes descending to the lower floor, as well as grates leading away from it. The area around the spawn is a high, wide level with railings surrounding the edges, and the only way up is through the winding ramp situated at the corner in front of the spawn point. The spawn point area is accessible to the enemy team. The spiral ramp also has a walkway that leads to an alternate entrance into the main arena.
*'''Center Plaza''' – A large, open area in the center of the map. This area includes railings, ramps, grated platforms, and two trees.
*'''"Secret" Alleys''' – On either side of the map are two passages that extend from the teams' bases to the Center Plaza. These passages act as alternate routes to get into the middle of the map, as both alleys have two exits that lead into the Center Plaza. Much of the floor is un-inkable glass.  
*'''Exit Ramps''' – At the end of either teams' bases are a set of multi-level ramps that lead from the base into the Center Plaza. The layout of these ramps allows for multiple exit options, making bottlenecking a challenge.  


==Ranked Battle==
Dropping down to the lower floor, the path toward the center of the map splits. One is an elevated path partially protected by railings and hard to reach for the enemy team, while the other is behind a grated wall that squids and [[ink]] can easily pass through, but solid objects like [[bomb]]s cannot. A pillar juts out where the split paths converge and is tall enough that only players from the upper level can jump to. Beyond the pillar is a steep ramp leading to a side area that functions as the team's battlements. There are large patches of uninkable ground as well as two openings that make for popular sniper outposts. The opening closer toward the middle has an inkable wall so that anyone from below can swim up to it.
===[[Splat Zones]]===


The Splat Zone in Urchin Underpass is located at the very center of the map. It is the smallest singular Splat Zone in [[Splatoon]] so gaining and staying in control requires lots of attention to it. Boxes have been added near both ends of the Splat Zone to provide protection from enemy fire and a vantage point to attack the Splat Zone.
A large multilayered hill marks the entrance to the center, while a narrow alley runs beside it. At the end of the alley is a small flat square, and beyond that is the front lines where shots are traded, which has a ramp for daring jumps into enemy territory, a wall for cover and two ramps leading down into the gorge between either team's concrete platforms. The platform walls are all inkable, allowing for surprise attacks from within the gorge. Two trees are placed at either end of the gorge for cover. There are no hazards in this stage.

===[[Tower Control]]===
==Ranked Battle terrain==
In Tower Control, the tower starts in the Center Plaza. It moves straight back towards the enemy territory and climbs up. Then, it moves to the rider's left, climbs back down, and reaches the goal.

===[[Rainmaker]]===
In [[Ranked Battle]]s, 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.
The Rainmaker in Urchin  Underpass is located in the center of the map, just below the two ramps in the center. The goal is at the end of the small strip of land with 4 stripes in front of the opposing team's base. Two stacks of blocks have been added to help both teams get to the center of the map faster.

==Tips==
===[[Tower Control]]===
*The trees in the Center Plaza can provide shelter from [[Inkzooka]]s, as well as clever places for placing [[Sprinkler]]s and [[Suction Bomb]]s.
In Tower Control, the Tower starts in the center plaza. It moves straight back towards the enemy territory and climbs up, then moves to the rider's left, climbs back down, and reaches the goal.
*Directly above the middle of the Center Plaza are low hanging rafters that extend from one wall to the other, perpendicular to the Secret Alleys. This is a good place to put [[Sprinkler]]s, as they're hard to notice and many short ranged weapons can't reach that high.


==Urchin Underpass (1.3.0)==
===[[Rainmaker]]===
This is the version of Urchin Underpass still currently in use for [[Octo Valley (Mode)|Octo Valley]] and the [[Battle Dojo]].
The Rainmaker in Urchin Underpass is located in the center of the stage, just below the two ramps in the center.

Urchin Underpass underwent a series of changes between its development period and release. It is also used in [[Octo Valley (mode)|Octo Valley]] [[mission]] #21, [[Unwelcome Flying Object]], as well as the [[Battle Dojo]] in the released version of it.


===Notable Locations===
===Early design version===
[[File:Uusecretarea.png|thumb|One of the "Secret" Alleys.|300px]]
[[File:Splatoonrabbit.jpg|thumb|An early version of ''Splatoon'' featuring rabbits on an early Urchin Underpass. Note the almost-complete [[Splattershot]].]]


*'''Center Plaza''' – A large, open area in the center of the map.
The earliest designed version of Urchin Underpass has been seen in a screenshot from when the game still used rabbits as the design for the player characters. The center of the stage is very similar to the E3 and release versions of Urchin Underpass.
*'''"Secret" Alleys''' – There are two alleys located near the Center Plaza. They are long, narrow, hidden-away strips of turf that are difficult to access which have two [[Glass]] panels.


===Ranked Battle===
===E3 2014 version===
{{see also|Urchin Underpass/Development|t1=changes from E3 2014 to release 2015}}


===[[Splat Zones]]===
The pre-release version included many differences, such as:
The Splat Zone for Urchin Underpass is located in the Center Plaza, specifically encompassing the rectangular lower area covered in grass.


In this game mode, two boxes have been added to the main entryways of the Center Plaza on either side.
* A water tank guarded by a [[grate|fence]] could be found in the corner of teams' bases.
* The raised platform opposite the [[spawn point]]s in the teams' bases was accessed by one smaller ramp, included a wooden plank used to swim up through a grated platform, and did not provide access to the Center Plaza.
* The lowest area in teams' bases was much larger.
* When leaving a team's spawn point and heading left, the first ramp encountered was not present. Instead, players could go around the raised portion on either side. This raised portion was split into three differently-sized platforms, and a window was not present in this location.
* The walls of the secret alleys were concrete, not glass.
* When entering the center plaza from the main entrance, a small fence acting as a grated barrier was present on players' immediate left.
* The ramped platforms allowing players to jump to the other side of the center plaza were directly opposite each other.
* The middle area in the center plaza was slightly smaller.
* The grated walkways outside the secret alleys in the center plaza were extended.


===[[Tower Control]]===
In Tower Control, the tower starts in the Center Plaza and is medium sized. It moves straight back towards the enemy territory and climbs up. Then, it moves to the rider's left, climbs back down, and reaches the goal.
===Tips===
*There is a large amount of turf behind the spawn point on either side. Be sure to claim it.
*While the most obvious entrance to the secret alleys is through the grated  ramp, it's also possible to paint the walls at the exits in the center plaza and swim up to the platform there. This is useful for sneakily getting into enemy territory or taking out bothersome snipers in these locations.
*Above the main exit of each team's spawn, there are low rafters. This is a good place to put a [[sprinkler]], as it covers a sizable area from above and many players will not think to look up there.
==Development==
Urchin Underpass underwent a series of changes between its development period and release. The pre-release version included many differences, such as:
*A water tank guarded by a [[grate|fence]] could be found in the corner of teams' bases.
*The raised platform opposite the [[Spawn Point]]s in teams' bases was accessed by one smaller ramp, included a wooden plank used to swim up through a grated platform, and did not provide access to the Center Plaza.
*The lowest area in teams' bases was much larger.
*When leaving a team's Spawn Point and heading left, the first ramp encountered was not present. Instead, players could go around the raised portion on either side. This raised portion was split into three differently-sized platforms, and a window was not present in this location.
*The walls of the Secret Alleys were concrete, not glass.
*When entering the Center Plaza from the main entrance, a small fence acting as a grated barrier was present on players' immediate left.
*The ramped platforms allowing players to jump to the other side of the Center Plaza were directly opposite each other.
*The middle area in the Center Plaza was slightly smaller.
*The grated walkways outside the Secret Alleys in the Center Plaza were extended.

{{see also|Urchin Underpass/Development|t1=changes from E3 2014 to release 2015}}
===Version 1.0.0 to 1.3.0===
[[File:Urchinunderpassmap.png|thumb|A map of the old Urchin Underpass.|300px]]


===[[Downloadable Content|August Update]]===
In this version, the center of the stage is almost the same as in the E3 version, but each side's base was changed completely, from removing grates and high platforms to ramps and high advantage points.
[[File:Urchin Underpass August 2015 Changes.jpg|thumb|The image released by [[Squid Research Lab]] announcing changes to Urchin Underpass.]]
On July 27th, 2015, the official ''Splatoon'' Tumblr announced that Urchin Underpass would be undergoing maintenance between August 2nd and 5th. They released an image showing the original map scribbled on, allowing fans to see what about the stage would be changed. Many features were altered, including:
*The trees near each team's base were moved to the center of the [[stage]].
*The secret alleys were extended and pushed further away from the central area.  They were also widened, and given another access point to the center area.
*The [[grate]]d walkways protruding from the secret alleys were removed.
*The ramps leading into the central area were made so that they only took up half of the available space. The other half became flat turf.

|C11A=Wait, didn't we come here for a news story, once?
[[Mariowiki:Urchin Underpass|Urchin Underpass]] appears as a battle course in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. This version of the stage features much more open areas for players to drive in and purple and green [[ink]] splatters on the ground that decrease the traction of vehicles driving in them. Additionally, the grates leading to the side alleys are raised so that they can be driven under. The background is also altered, such as [[graffiti]] of [[Mariowiki:Tanooki Mario|Tanooki Mario]] being added to a wall and one of the background skyscrapers being replaced with [[Inkopolis Tower]]. On this course, the [[Mariowiki:Item Box|Item Box]] roulette sound effect is replaced by the ability reroll sound from ''Splatoon'', and in the Renegade Roundup and Coin Runners modes, [[Mariowiki:Coin|coin]]s are replaced by [[cash]]. A rendition of ''[[Splattack!]]'' is used as the course's main music, and in the final minute of the battle, the music switches to ''[[Now or Never!]]'' (unlike in other courses, where the music simply increases in speed and pitch in the final minute).

==Names in other languages==
==Etymology==
{{Foreignname
Urchin Underpass is derived from the nouns 'urchin' and 'underpass'. 'Urchin' can relate to both a slang term referring to someone dirty and poor, as well as sea urchins, spiny sea creatures that are round and prickly, like hedgehogs. 'Underpass' is a passageway for passengers and cyclists beneath a road or railway, allowing them to reach the other side in safety.

 StrategyWiki has an article about:
Urchin Underpass

Urchin Underpass is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon.

Urchin Underpass consists of two large L-shaped areas of land that are joined together by a rectangular piece of land between them. It takes place below a highway.

Layout

Urchin Underpass layout similar to the updated version, but not entirely complete.

The spawn point of Urchin Underpass is fairly complicated despite being a usually neglected area. It is a large, enclosed area with several slopes descending to the lower floor, as well as grates leading away from it. The area around the spawn is a high, wide level with railings surrounding the edges, and the only way up is through the winding ramp situated at the corner in front of the spawn point. The spawn point area is accessible to the enemy team. The spiral ramp also has a walkway that leads to an alternate entrance into the main arena.

Dropping down to the lower floor, the path toward the center of the map splits. One is an elevated path partially protected by railings and hard to reach for the enemy team, while the other is behind a grated wall that squids and ink can easily pass through, but solid objects like bombs cannot. A pillar juts out where the split paths converge and is tall enough that only players from the upper level can jump to. Beyond the pillar is a steep ramp leading to a side area that functions as the team's battlements. There are large patches of uninkable ground as well as two openings that make for popular sniper outposts. The opening closer toward the middle has an inkable wall so that anyone from below can swim up to it.

A large multilayered hill marks the entrance to the center, while a narrow alley runs beside it. At the end of the alley is a small flat square, and beyond that is the front lines where shots are traded, which has a ramp for daring jumps into enemy territory, a wall for cover and two ramps leading down into the gorge between either team's concrete platforms. The platform walls are all inkable, allowing for surprise attacks from within the gorge. Two trees are placed at either end of the gorge for cover. There are no hazards in this stage.

Ranked Battle terrain

The corner of the Splat Zone, showing different 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 in Urchin Underpass is located at the very center of the map. It is the smallest singular Splat Zone in Splatoon, so gaining and staying in control requires lots of attention to it. Boxes have been added near both ends of the Splat Zone to protect from enemy fire and a vantage point to attack the Splat Zone.

Tower Control

In Tower Control, the Tower starts in the center plaza. It moves straight back towards the enemy territory and climbs up, then moves to the rider's left, climbs back down, and reaches the goal.

Rainmaker

The Rainmaker in Urchin Underpass is located in the center of the stage, just below the two ramps in the center. The goal is at the end of the small strip of land with four stripes in front of the opposing team's base. Two stacks of blocks have been added to help both teams get to the center of the map faster.

Features
Hazards

Urchin Underpass underwent a series of changes between its development period and release. It is also used in Octo Valley mission #21, Unwelcome Flying Object, as well as the Battle Dojo in the released version of it.

Early design version

An early version of Splatoon featuring rabbits on an early Urchin Underpass. Note the almost-complete Splattershot.

The earliest designed version of Urchin Underpass has been seen in a screenshot from when the game still used rabbits as the design for the player characters. The center of the stage is very similar to the E3 and release versions of Urchin Underpass.

E3 2014 version

See also: Urchin Underpass/Development

The pre-release version included many differences, such as:

  • A water tank guarded by a fence could be found in the corner of teams' bases.
  • The raised platform opposite the spawn points in the teams' bases was accessed by one smaller ramp, included a wooden plank used to swim up through a grated platform, and did not provide access to the Center Plaza.
  • The lowest area in teams' bases was much larger.
  • When leaving a team's spawn point and heading left, the first ramp encountered was not present. Instead, players could go around the raised portion on either side. This raised portion was split into three differently-sized platforms, and a window was not present in this location.
  • The walls of the secret alleys were concrete, not glass.
  • When entering the center plaza from the main entrance, a small fence acting as a grated barrier was present on players' immediate left.
  • The ramped platforms allowing players to jump to the other side of the center plaza were directly opposite each other.
  • The middle area in the center plaza was slightly smaller.
  • The grated walkways outside the secret alleys in the center plaza were extended.
  • A team's base.

Version 1.0.0 to 1.3.0

A map of the old Urchin Underpass.

In this version, the center of the stage is almost the same as in the E3 version, but each side's base was changed completely, from removing grates and high platforms to ramps and high advantage points.

There are two alleys located near the central plaza. They are long, narrow, hidden-away strips of turf that are difficult to access which have two glass panels.

It is still possible to play the pre-update Urchin Underpass in Battle Dojo.

One of the "secret" alleys.

Version 2.0.0 onwards

The image released by the Squid Research Lab announcing changes to Urchin Underpass.

On 27 July 2015, the official Splatoon Tumblr announced that Urchin Underpass would be undergoing maintenance between 2 and 5 August 2015. They released an image showing the original map scribbled on, allowing fans to see what about the stage would be changed. Many features were altered, including:

  • The trees near each team's base were moved to the center of the stage.
  • The secret alleys were extended and pushed further away from the central area. They were also widened and given another access point to the center area.
  • The grated walkways protruding from the secret alleys were removed.
  • The ramps leading into the central area were made so that they only took up half of the available space. The other half became flat turf.

Splatfests

Urchin Underpass was available in the following Splatfests in Splatoon.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Urchin Underpass in MK8D.jpg

Urchin Underpass appears as a battle course in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This version of the stage features much more open areas for players to drive in and purple and green ink splatters on the ground that decrease the traction of vehicles driving in them. Additionally, the grates leading to the side alleys are raised so that they can be driven under. The background is also altered, such as graffiti of Tanooki Mario being added to a wall and one of the background skyscrapers being replaced with Inkopolis Tower. On this course, the Item Box roulette sound effect is replaced by the ability reroll sound from Splatoon, and in the Renegade Roundup and Coin Runners modes, coins are replaced by cash. A rendition of Splattack! is used as the course's main music, and in the final minute of the battle, the music switches to Now or Never! (unlike in other courses, where the music simply increases in speed and pitch in the final minute).

Trivia

The L-shaped space which sub weapons pass through
  • Urchin Underpass is the only map in Splatoon that was changed almost completely after being released.
  • Near the center area is an inaccessible, L-shaped space, which can be seen by standing on the vending machine in the corner. The floor and walls are fully textured to match the rest of the stage, but the floor is not solid; sub weapons thrown in are never heard landing.
  • The utility poles featured in the teams' bases are decorated with various license plates, many adorned with the Splash Mob and Forge logos. It is unknown what purpose these license plates serve.
    • Before Version 2.0.0, two utility poles in the center of the stage featured the same license plates, but with Shrimp Kicks and Krak-On advertising instead. They were removed in the update.
  • Its design and Japanese name are based on Jūjō-dōri (十条通, lit. Tenth Road) in Kyoto, near which Nintendo's headquarters is located.
  • Urchin Underpass and Saltspray Rig are currently the only stages in Splatoon to not return in a sequel.

Etymology

Urchin Underpass is derived from the nouns 'urchin' and 'underpass'. 'Urchin' can relate to both a slang term referring to someone dirty and poor, as well as sea urchins, spiny sea creatures that are round and prickly, like hedgehogs. 'Underpass' is a passageway for passengers and cyclists beneath a road or railway, allowing them to reach the other side in safety.
