This level occupies the map slot MAP18. For other maps which occupy this slot, see Category:MAP18.
MAP18: The Train Is Approaching is the eighteenth map of Kama Sutra. It was designed by Adolf Vojta and uses the Level 1 theme from Last Ninja 2, arranged for MIDI by Christer Holm. The WAD's text file credits the music to Alien Vendetta[1], where it was used on MAP01 in the first release and MAP24 in the second.

Inspiration and development[edit]
Adolf Vojta's comments on this level[1]:
- For this map I let inspired myself by AV maps 06 & 24 by Lee and Fish. Both of them are an excellent map with an excellent design. I tried to do a map similar to these but I did a layout with many ways and possible routes to complete. At the start you really don't know where to go so you have to just walk away and seek.
Walkthrough[edit]

Secrets[edit]
- Fall down in the nukage canal near the blue bars, kill a zombie on your right and open a wall, a soulsphere waits for you. (sector 601)
- In the corridor up the megasphere in nukage, shoot the mercury light. A door will open in a corridor southwards. Kill the arch-vile, another soulsphere sits there. (sector 1176)
