This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

In Splatoon 2, the world's cutest post-apocalyptic shooter freshens up on a new system with a new hub, new characters, new weapons, new stages, and a new story mode in which you help Marie battle the Octarian menace to find the Great Zapfish once again as well as her missing cousin Callie.

To do: EVERYTHING. This entire page is currently being added to as it has gone almost three years with little to no content. Not everything is going to remain as it is. Add the scrapped part of a unused game mode from here. Add all the version differences from: 1.2.0 - 5.4.0 Find unused features from the Octo Expansion DLC, such as these levels. Debug maps. Unused Splatfest dialogue if the losing side won. There's a bunch of unlocalized text.

Unused Multiplayer Map Entries

All of the maps from the first game appear in unused data, along with some completely new maps.

Internal name	English name	Notes
Fld_Athletic00_Vss	Camp Triggerfish	Returned on April 24, 2018, to coincide with Version 3.0.
Fld_Crank00_Vss	Urchin Underpass
Fld_Ditch00_Vss	The Reef	Unused version of the existing map that has since been removed (Fld_Ditch01_Vss is the used version). The Reef was the first map developed for the game, so it's possible this was used in one of the demo versions.
Fld_Hiagari00_Vss	Mahi-Mahi Resort	Omitted from early versions of the game.
Fld_Jyoheki00_Vss	Flounder Heights
Fld_Kaisou00_Vss	Hammerhead Bridge
Fld_Kawa00_Vss	Snapper Canal	The aqueduct stage that was seen in the direct wouldn't appear until October 7th, 2017.
Fld_Maze00_Vss	Kelp Dome	Returned on September 16th, 2017.
Fld_Office00_Vss	Ancho-V Games	Returned on July 12, 2018.
Fld_Pillar00_Vss	Manta Maria	Has since been released, though it is unclear if this entry was used for the final map (see note below about Port Mackerel).
Fld_Pivot00_Vss	Museum d'Alfonsino
Fld_Quarry00_Vss	Piranha Pit	Returned on March 30th, 2018.
Fld_Ruins00_Vss	Bluefin Depot
Fld_SeaPlant00_Vss	Saltspray Rig
Fld_SkatePark00_Vss	Blackbelly Skatepark	Returned on October 27th, 2017.
Fld_UpDown00_Vss	Arowana Mall	Returned on February 2nd, 2018.
Fld_Warehouse00_Vss	Walleye Warehouse	Returned on December 15th, 2017.

It is notable that Port Mackerel's filename uses "01" instead of "00", so these entries may just be for testing.
