Metropolis Level	comment	When The Hero in a video game goes on an adventure, one would expect them to go through many of the classic set-pieces. A Green Hill Zone, The Lost Woods, Shifting Sand Land, Palmtree Panic, Slippy-Slidey Ice World, Death Mountain, Lethal Lava Land, and maybe even a Space Zone for good measure. After all, they're exotic enough to offer avenues for escapism for the players. But every so often, you get a video game level that is a little closer to home. Enter a Metropolis Level. A Metropolis Level is a type of Video Game Setting taking place in a bustling city, complete with a maze of streets to get lost in and buildings to enter and climb on. Because of how complex these levels can get, some common themes include platforming across skyscrapers, running on streets filled with crazy traffic, vehicles being included as a game mechanic one way or another, and even missions that take the form of mundane everyday jobs. Expect enemies to be police officers, street thugs, disgruntled or drunken civilians, organized crime syndicates like The Mafia, stray cats and dogs, and sometimes (depending on the genre), monsters, zombies and robots. Basically, in a Metropolis Level, anything that seems mundane in reality can be turned into a game mechanic. As a result, it often comes early to mid-game at most in the Sorting Algorithm of Threatening Geography. They may be based off cities from Real Life. In which case, expect developers to either base them off cities they're familiar with, or just use popular picks like New York City and Tokyo as main sources of inspiration. Metropolis Levels often come in two distinct flavors: Modern (as we see them around the turn of the millennium or 20 Minutes into the Future), and Futuristic (having a more sci-fi aesthetic to them with a lot of advanced technology). Occasionally, you may get historical variants as well, taking cues from the 19th and early 20th Centuries. Compare Graffiti Town, the more grungy urban variant, and Skyscraper City for the non-video game version. Commonly overlaps with Absurdly-Spacious Sewer, Construction Zone Calamity, Down in the Dumps, Down the Drain, Amusement Park, Casino Park and Studiopolis. In RPGs, this often overlaps with Dungeon Town. If the city itself takes up the entire video game, it could be a City of Adventure. Not to be confused with Layered Metropolis.

Once again, you have a safe commercial area, and a dangerous residential area (although the dangerous zones have a security system, the Claymore, that keeps things safe for the residents).

Metropolis Level / int_5b530443	comment	Mario Party 8: The board Koopa's Tycoon Town takes place inside a fairly-developed urban location, in which characters have to invest money to increase the Star tier of the local hotels. It works similarly to the windmills of Windmillville from Mario Party 7, only here the number of Stars a character gets will increase as the tier of their hotels does (for example, with 20 Coins the hotel will have a 2-Star tier, while investing 50 Coins will raise its tier to 3 Stars). Being a city-themed board, its Event Spaces are tied to the setting; some of them will allow a character hop on a Koopa's taxi to be taken to one of the hotels, while others will make a Bandit appear to steal coins from a hotel (potentially lowering its star tier and making its current owner lose a star as a result).

The track has several different roads for racers to take, though they all lead to the same place. The roads are also crowded with other vehicles that cause racers to spin out if hit. To a lesser extent, there's Mushroom Bridge, which is geographically located in the same city as the other track, except this one is next to the sea (hence the name, as the layout goes through a large bridge near the end); this track also appears in Mario Kart Tour. Mario Kart Wii: Moonview Highway, true to its name, is a racetrack that takes place in a highway during late night.

These include Coruscant and Dromund Kaas (capital cities of the Republic and the Empire, respectively, and the second worlds players of the corresponding factions visit), Nar Shaddaa (the central moon of the Hutt Space), and Corellia (the final planet of the main campaign). Players also revisit Taris from KotOR, but seeing how it has been bombed into oblivion by the Sith in that game, it is a mix of toxic swamps and Urban Ruins in this one. The expansions add a few more, including Ziost until the Emperor eats it, Zakuul (capital of the Infinite Empire), and Mek-Sha (another seedy town where slavery and black markets run rampant).

Many orbal cars and trams dot its ancient streets at a rapid pace, and because the city is still transitioning from the Orbal Revolution, it still retains its old Medieval feel all over, creating an Anachronism Stew. Some of Class VII's missions take them inside the capital, where there are a lot of shops to visit, locals to interact with, and monsters roaming in the catacombs below to defeat. In Cold Steel II, Heimdallr becomes a war zone in the wake of the Erebonian Civil War, being taken over by the Noble Faction and becoming the location of the Infernal Castle.

Metropolis Level / int_e8d19c42	comment	"Episode 4" of Phantasy Star Online 2 added two new areas for ARKs to explore, Tokyo and Las Vegas. Unlike previous ares, which were randomized which each visit, Tokyo and Las Vegas keep the same layout with each visit. Theyâ€™re closed off from the public so that ARKs operatives can deal with the Phantasms appearing in the areas.

Metropolis Level / int_eb710f9a	comment	CrossCode has Basin Keep, a large human settlement in the middle of Gaia's Garden. It's an almost entirely artificial city full of neon-lit skyscrapers. The plot arc for the area involves the tension between the humans living in Basin Keep and the native Shadoon living in the surrounding jungle, the latter of whom blame the city's power plant for the recent appearance of dangerous monsters.

All three take place at night, in cities that are being devastated by the Black Arms, and you can choose whether to help fight them off, or side with them and make things worse.

Sora arrives through a portal in a back alley, then makes his way through some streets before spending the rest of the level in the Organization's castle lair.

Metropolis Level / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts has many, usually overlapping with Dungeon Town. Kingdom Hearts has Traverse Town, which harbors refugees from destroyed worlds. The first district is a safe zone that has all the (usable) shops. The rest of the town is infested with Heartless, and is mostly devoid of human activity, with the exception of the Final Fantasy characters and the 101 Dalmatians' houses, which are located in unsafe zones. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories introduces Twilight Town, a town in perpetual sunset that has a mysterious connection to Sora. In Kingdom Hearts II, it's shown in more detail as the player begins in control of Roxas, a resident of the place. As Roxas, Twilight Town is a seemingly normal town without any Heartless or hostile Nobodies (at first, outside of story events), but it turns out there is much more to it than meets the eye. When you return there as Sora, it's more of a normal Dungeon Town with a safe shopping area and monster-infested streets. Kingdom Hearts II changes the first game's Hollow Bastion from a Big Fancy Castle level to this, as the focus changes from the castle itself to the town around it. Once again, you have a safe commercial area, and a dangerous residential area (although the dangerous zones have a security system, the Claymore, that keeps things safe for the residents). Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep also features the city, this time by the name of Radiant Garden. Part of the final level of Kingdom Hearts II (and Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]), The World That Never Was, is a large city where it's Always Night. Sora arrives through a portal in a back alley, then makes his way through some streets before spending the rest of the level in the Organization's castle lair. Disney Town from Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep seems to be the town where Classic Disney Shorts characters live, although the main characters receive lifetime passes, implying that it's also an Amusement Park themed around this trope. The town is a Minigame Zone where you just have to complete one minigame to proceed with the story, but seeing the rest of the world requires you to fight (or avoid) Unversed as you travel through the streets. Kingdom Hearts III has San Fransokyo, a huge, fully explorable city. Here, the safe area is Hiro's garage, from where you can choose to either explore the city during the day (with prevents enemies from spawning) or night.

Metropolis Level / int_f858847a	comment	PokÃ©mon X and Y: Lumiose City is similarly structured to Castelia City, with tall buildings and a bustling city atmosphere full of people walking the streets, but the layout is even larger. To help trainers get around, there's a taxi cab service where you can ride between the boulevards and avenues for a small fee. There's also a system of alleyways running through the larger city blocks, where you're likely to be challenged by passing street thugs.

The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy remake adds the level Future Tense, where lab assistants driving flying cars can be seen in the background in addition to all the skyscrapers.

These typically take place on top of skyscrapers, with their rooftops and hanging girders providing platforms for fighters to stand on and divided by steep bottomless pits.
