Line 102:
* The pipe systems in ''[[The Matrix]]'' series are described as sewers which are big enough for ''whole hovercrafts'' to comfortably navigate through them, and an ''entire city'' inhabited by thousands of people in its lower depths. The sewers were the only remains of the human cities destroyed in the war with the machines.
** And that's just in "The Desert Of The Real". The Matrix itself has a sewer system beneath the Mega-City that rivals [[Lord of the Rings|the Mines of Moria]] -- chambers hundreds of feet wide and ''deep'' connected by twisty catacomb-like tunnels.
* If you thought ''[[Alien (franchise)|Alien]]'' was the first movie to have creepy monsters being stalked through dark tunnels with flamethrowers, you're wrong. The classic B&W 1954 sci-fi movie ''[[Them]]'' climaxes with a hunt through the Los Angeles storm sewer system (including jeeps with mounted machine-guns) for the [[Attack of the 50
** This film is parodied in a sidequest in ''[[Fallout 3]]'' called ''Those!'', where the player has to kill radioactive, fire-breathing ants in a similarly abandoned sewer system (which the game is rife with.)
*** Actually, the underground structures you explore are Metro tunnels, which would kind of explain all of the broken down subway cars.
Line 252:
* ''[[Distorted Travesty]]'' dares to place its giant sewer... Inside a train!
* ''[[Earthbound]]'' and ''[[Mother 3]]''. The ''[[Earthbound]]'' one notably averts the "not walking through sewage thing" (and [[Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence|for some reason,]] even has little ladders leading into the muck. ''Eww.'')
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind]]'', the sewers of Vivec are ridiculously spacious, often far higher than needed, with walkways on the sides and a deep waterway in the middle. Given that the water is clean, and also that the city is built in the middle of a lake, they're likely storm drains more than anything. They also house cultists, conspirators, and (with the right mods) secret dungeons!
** In the expansion for Morrowind "Tribunal" the sewer is even more spacious.
*** Justified because they "sewers" are actually the ruins of the original city retooled as a sewer/dungeon
Line 299:
* In ''[[Summoner]]'', the sewers of Lenele are ''huge''. Even great big Golems have plenty of room.
* ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' frequently uses this for the famous underground levels. You could argue that the entire Mushroom Kingdom is a giant sewer system from the abundance of green plumbing pipes. In fact, the [[Ur Example]] for video games is the original ''[[Mario Bros]]'', which is where the Mario Bros. themselves actually made use of their plumbing abilities.
** ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[
* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', Zelos takes everyone through the Meltokio sewer, which is spacious enough to allow giant rats to roam it freely, and has ''multiple levels'', ''computers'', and ''trash compactors''.
** And despite the trash compactors implying the area is normally used by workers, it can't be travelled without using a magic honey-we-shrunk-ourselves ring, walking on spider webs and patching up gaps in the walkways with blocks of garbage.
