Originally based upon the latter half of the Jungle level, the Caves was redesigned to better suit a multiplayer environment. By building on new areas and connecting existing ones through different passages, Caves was born. Unfortunately, it is one of the lesser enjoyed multi maps; many gamers find that the level is either too dark or overly complicated in its layout. Because of those drawbacks, the Caves is likely the least favourite of all the multiplayer stages.
Multiplayer
Outline
Caves is one of the four 'built for multi' stages included in GoldenEye's multiplayer. It is one of the only to utilize shadows to help players disappear into the background. The architecture lends great potential for intense Grenade Launcher battles. Banking grenades off of wall surfaces allows you to reach opponents in other rooms, while staying a safe distance away from their attacks. If you take the time to learn the angles, you'll gain deadly accuracy.

Prerelease Caves
Caves has no known changes or leftover pads in its setup.
Miscellaneous
- This stage was probably originally intended to have a sky. It has a hole in its ceiling open to the outside, but since it doesn't have a weather block the sky appears entirely black and cloudless in multiplayer.
