Line 232:
* ''[[Armored Core (Video Game)|Armored Core]]'' is a fairly egregious example: the sewers aren't just ''human'' sized, they are in fact ''mech'' sized. Combine this with the fact that the mechs in Armored Core are shown to be at least two stories tall, and that these sewers are spacious ''in relation to the ACs themselves'', and these are some '''very''' spacious sewers.
* ''[[Assassin's Creed (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed]]: Altair's Chronicles'' features repeated trips through sewers with moving platforms and water that gushes out of pipes at repeated intervals for no apparent reason.
* In true ''[[Batman]]'' fashion, ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum (Video Game)|Batman Arkham Asylum]]'' reveals a massive complex of catacombs and sewer lines hidden in the deep caves of Arkham Island, one such system housing Killer Croc.
** Sure explains why Arkham is such a [[Cardboard Prison]].
* ''[[Betrayal At Krondor]]'', where the sewers under Krondor were so large that they had 2 whole floors, and several different gangs all living and operating out of them.
Line 241:
* The Sewers of Draj.
* ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'': The Sewer Access in 2300 A.D., which you must fight and navigate through in order to reach Keeper's Dome.
* ''[[City of Heroes (Video Game)|City of Heroes]]'': Paragon City has a huge sewer system choked with all kinds of villains (mutated cultist gangs, [[Deadly Doctor|decidedly amoral surgeons]] and their [[
** The Rogue Isles, in ''[[City of Villains]]'', have their fair share as well.
** Averted in the Praetorian Underground from the ''Going Rogue'' expansion -- this insanely spacious tunnel system (complete with ''faction bases'' and offering an alternate way of getting from zone to zone fast) is ''not'' a sewer, but an abandoned subway network.
Line 281:
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'' features one of these twice in the game: the same location appears as the training level for Link's wolf form, as well as later, after the third dungeon. While not a huge area, it's still absurdly spacious, and seems to double as a prison of some kind. It's also worth noting that said area is apparently inside Hyrule Castle, and clearly above ground level.
** And in ''[[A Link to The Past]]'', Zelda escapes from Hyrule castle trough the sewers.
** The Bottom of the Well in ''[[The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|Ocarina of Time]]'' also has elements of this, although it's mostly [[Big
* In ''[[Lego Batman]]'' the Gotham sewers aren't just big enough to walk through; they're so big that you need a flight suit or a high jump just to reach certain parts of it. However, this network is not very well secured. Penguin and Killer Croc {{spoiler|use the sewer system to break out Catwoman by coming up through the toilets in the police station.}} And yes, there are alligators.
* Both ''[[Parasite Eve]]'' games with New York City sewers and a sewage passageway between the shelter and the motel.
Line 373:
* ''[[Freakazoid]]!'' used this until it became a running gag, with more than one character complaining about "poo gas".
** <s>One character</s> [[Name McAdjective|Roddy McStew]] notes they're called "crud vapors" in his native Scotland.
* Several villains in ''[[Batman:
* Likewise, ''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman Beyond]]'' ventured into a downright ''cavernous'' sewer system in at least one episode.
* In ''[[The Tick]]'', Sewer Urchin lives in an enormous apartment in The City's sewers, and on some occasions provides the other heroes with goods that are otherwise difficult or impossible to acquire, claiming "You'd be surprised what people throw away, yeah, definitely."
