A Tunnel Network is any collection of buildings that link to a large underground catacomb of tunnels that allow for stealthy travel around a locale. Sometimes these might have been built by dedicated criminal networks for the sake of transporting things covertly from place to place. Sometimes they're built during times of war to allow a way to sneak past, or sneak up on, enemies. Less common uses of Tunnel Networks include avoiding a dangerous climate aboveground, or to serve as the equivalent of roads for those who live Beneath the Earth. Yet another use would be that shifty government laboratory that is not only underground but randomly dusty. In the competitive gaming world, this means cheap near instant transport between any two points. A shrewd gamer will be able to take advantage of this and employ what is called tunnel popping, quickly transferring units in and out of tunnels, and all around the map to a devastating effect. In other media, while not allowing for something as cheap as delivering a Zerg Rush to your doorstep, can allow for secretive travel between locations hiding both literal and logistical foot prints. For its high tech equivalent, see Portal Network. Occasionally related to Absurdly-Spacious Sewer and Pipe Maze. A Secret Underground Passage sometimes leads to this, but is technically a different trope. This refers specifically to a massive underground network of tunnels, not a single tunnel used for a singular purpose. Be alert in the event the network is home to a Beast in the Maze. |

In Thud!, the dwarfs have created a tunnel network under Ankh-Morpork, partly so they can look for the McGuffin without anyone noticing, and partly because it wouldn't occur to them not to dig underground to where they want to go. By the end of the book, the network has been seized by the Patrician, who seems to have plans for it, possibly involving propelled carriages of some kind. (It's mentioned that the basic dwarfish mine sign, indicating a mine entrance, is a circle with a horizontal line through it.) | |

Advanced Strategic Command allows to pool resources in buildings via either pipelines constructed by bulldozers or inconvenient direct contact of buildings. Not only this saves bothering with transport, but producing some units require more materials than the factory or dock can hold. Buried pipelines are more expensive than open ones, but preferrable: they doesn't hinder unit movement and to break one the enemy must bring a construction unit to it instead of simply bombing. Construction ships can build underwater pipelines to connect islands. | |

The GLA of Command & Conquer: Generals have, well (hey, guess what?), Tunnel Networks, which serve as both base defense and a way of instantly transporting ground units. One of their general abilities lets them have a tunnel exit burrow up anywhere on the map, potentially in the middle of an enemy base. And finally, all GLA buildings leave behind an underground bunker when destroyed, which if left alone will eventually rebuild the structure free of cost. | |

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the Underground is a maze of tunnels that spans the entirety of the Sinnoh region some uncertain distance below sea level. It is supported solely by wooden scaffolding and otherwise has floors, ceilings, and walls made entirely of dirt. Unlike most other examples though, it isn't used for traveling from place to place (except within Sinnoh Underground), but rather, is used as a secluded place where people can set up remote homes and dig for valuable items. | |

Hogwarts Castle is comprised of these in the Wizarding World franchise, and there are so many secret passages hidden throughout the school that very few people know them all. Argus Filch is familiar with most of these tunnels, but several more are known only to the Marauders and whoever possesses the Marauder's Map (such as the Weasley Twins). The only parts of the school that don't show up on the Marauder's Map are the Chamber of Secrets due to it being considered a myth, and the Room of Requirement which is even more impossible to map than Hogwarts itself. | |

Since fortresses in Dwarf Fortress tend to be mainly underground anyway, they usually incorporate some degree of this. Dwarven and goblin civilisations also create large tunnels linking settlements created during worldgen, and beneath those there are three levels of naturally-formed cavern system that blur the line somewhat between this trope and Beneath the Earth. In World mode, major cities have catacombs and sewers. |

The Tunnels series is built on these. Prominent examples include the tunnel network beneath Highfield, which serve as the ventilation for the Colony, an underground city connected by another tunnel network to the Eternal City, which was inhabited by the ancestors of the Styx before it was rendered uninhabitable by a plague. Deeper down, in the inner world, the ruins of the ancients are connected by another tunnel network, now inhabited by the "Bushmen." | |

Warhammer: The Dwarfs have the Undgrim, or Underway, underground highways that connected their mountain holds in their empire's heyday that were big enough for steam-powered vehicles to help pull shipments of ores or other goods. But after the earthquakes that came with the Time of Troubles broke the back of their civilization, parts of this network have collapsed or been infested with Goblins, Skaven, or worse creatures. Dwarf miners still know their way around the mountains' tunnels, though, and when fielded as part of an army can use them to appear on the enemy's flank or rear. The Skaven have a veritable Under-Empire that's even more expansive than the Dwarf Underway, spanning the Old World with tunnels leading as far as distant Araby and Cathay. |

In The Magnus Archives, Jane Prentiss uses one beneath the Magnus Institute to break into the Archives in MAG 38. The tunnels only become more important throughout the series, as in MAG 40 Martin finds Gertrude Robinson’s body in one of their chambers, a number of episodes in Season 2 deal with Jon’s explorations of the tunnels, it is revealed in MAG 79 that Jurgen Leitner has been living in the tunnels, and in Season 4, it is revealed that the Institute was deliberately built over them due to the tunnels housing the Panopticon of Millbank Prison, which is essential to the Eye’s ritual and houses the body of Jonah Magnus. | |

In Warhammer 40,000, Necron tomb-worlds have catacombs you could lose a cathedral in, housing thousands upon thousands of dormant Necron warriors. Regularly an Adeptus Mechanicus expedition drops in on one, squees out at the Machine God's gift, and are promptly slaughtered when they start prodding around. The galaxy now has another Necron world to deal with. | |

Inevitable in Minecraft, what with the mining and all. Tunnels are also a handy way to get around at night without having to deal with the zombies and other monsters that spawn on the surface, assuming you remembered to put torches down, of course. | |

In Battlezone II: Combat Commander, the ISDF's Cerberus Base on Pluto has a network of tunnels large enough for their Hover Tanks to fit four abreast through. The tunnels are largely used for storage, with recessed cargo rooms and surface access into to warehouses. Similar tunnels are used in several of the deathmatch maps, where they can contain alternate weapons or health and ammo pickups. | |

In Kirikou and the Sorceress, Kirikou is small enough to use a network of animal burrows beneath the surface to stealthily cross the domain of Karaba the witch without being detected by her lookout fetish, and digs his path further with his father's dagger whenever necessary. How he is able to see anything down there however is left unexplained. | |

In Liv and Maddie, Parker Rooney built a network of "Parker Tunnels" that go around the neighborhood and even to the high school. Parker's tunnel obsession became a serious problem in the Season 3 finale, because the house was on the brink of collapse. Thanks to Joey's blunder in closing the tunnels, it collapses. | |
