This is a sub-page of Proto:Splatoon 2/March 28, 2017.

Careful, you'll lose an eye.

This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.
Specifically: Overhead maps would also help.

Just when you thought the base game didn't have enough removed stages...

NOTE: As the final game has many unused maps, only removed or changed maps will only be covered.
