Splatoon 3 (Video Game)	comment	Spoilers from Splatoon and Splatoon 2 are left unmarked.Splatoon 3 is a Third-Person Shooter for the Nintendo Switch and the third entry in the Splatoon series, as a direct sequel to Splatoon 2. The game was announced at the end of the February 2021 Nintendo Direct presentation. A Splatfest World Premiere demo was held on August 27, 2022, and the game was released on September 9, 2022.Five years ago, the Great Zapfish was once again taken back from the Octarians. Despite their villainous second wind and the assistance of a new conspirator, all it took was a single Inkling to foil their plans, leading to many Octolings reintegrating into the surface world. Around the same time, deep beneath the ocean, a separate plot to destroy the planet was upended, thanks to the efforts of one Octoling within the dank and eerie Deepsea Metro. Society at large will never know either of these young heroes' efforts to protect it.Oh, and Team Chaos won the Final Fest.After Team Chaos' victory, massive changes were underway in the arid, sun-scorched Splatlands. Development in the city of Splatsville — dubbed the "city of chaos" — accelerated to the point of transforming it into a melting pot that advanced current trends further and paved the way for the birth of new ones. Despite the harsh climate conditions, this has not stopped anyone from enjoying the sport they love the most: spraying paint all over the ground and each other.In the single-player campaign, Return of the Mammalians, the player must take the role of New Agent 3 as they help the New Squidbeak Splatoon investigate the operations of the Octarian Army in the land of Alterna, as well as figure out what the deal is with this strange Fuzzy Ooze that gives everyone and anything that touches it a shaggy coat of fur.In addition to the flagship Turf War mode, the ranked modes from prior games — Splat Zones, Tower Control, Rainmaker, and Clam Blitz — all return with some tweaks, under the replacement to Ranked Battle: Anarchy Battle, which is split into two sub-modes with their own map rotations. Anarchy Battle (Series) requires the player to wager their rank points, upon which you are entered into a series of battles; after you win five or lose three (whichever comes first), you are rewarded points back, and whether you made a net gain depends on both how many battles your team won and your personal performance as a player. Meanwhile, Anarchy Battle (Open) functions similarly to the prior iteration of Ranked Battle, allowing you to play a pre-built team with friends or solo and rewarding you points based solely on if your team won or not, and League Battle, letting a duo or team of players compete during a rotation to obtain the Highest Anarchy Power Level, with the difference that it's possible to play it solo this time (without the possibility to calculate Power Levels). This game also features a new mode known as Challenges: functioning like Limited-Time Modes in contemporary games, Challenges are available for specified periods of time and provide variants on the other game modes, such as increasing jump height or covering the screen with a dense fog.Another returning mode is Salmon Run Next Wave, an expanded version of Splatoon 2's horde mode that features new enemies, locations, and scenarios. The most notable new features of this mode are the Xtrawave, an emergency fourth wave that can randomly occur at the end of a shift where you and your team are beset by a King Salmonid and must work together to take it down; and Big Run, a periodic event wherein Salmonids invade the cities of Splatsville and Inkopolis, forcing you do battle on the game's usual competitive multiplayer stages to force them back to the sea.Splatoon 3 also introduces a new game mode in Tableturf Battle, a traditional 1v1 trading card game where players emulate Turf Wars by trying to cover more of the playing field by the end of a set number of turns using decks of 15 cards each, of which the game features upwards of 150. Other new features include a seasonal catalog, from which you can get new clothing, cards, titles, and miscellaneous items to decorate your in-game locker and "Splashtag" every three months; and Tricolor Turf Wars, a variant of Turf War done during Splatfests (which now have three teams instead of two) in which four members of a Splatfest team face off against two members each of the other two teams.Paid Downloadable Content for Splatoon 3 was confirmed in August 2022 during a dedicated Splatoon 3 Direct and further elaborated upon in the February 2023 Nintendo Direct as the Splatoon 3 Expansion Pass, containing two waves of content. Wave 1 features the return of Inkopolis Plaza from the first game and serves as an alternative Hub Level accessible via the train station; it released on February 28, 2023. Wave 2 consists of Splatoon 3: Side Order, a new single-player roguelike campaign that released on February 22, 2024; taking place in what has become of Inkopolis Square after Splatoon 2's Final Fest, the mode follows Agent 8 and Pearl (the latter of which who has, one way or another, transformed into a small drone-like robot). Together they must ascend the thirty floors of the Spire of Order, an odd structure that has replaced Inkopolis Square's Deca Tower, with the aid of the mysterious DJ Dedf1sh.

Touching Fuzzy Ooze is immediately fatal for the player as it transforms them into a mammalian. Fortunately, the player's Smallfry is immune to Fuzzy Ooze and can clean it up for the player by devouring massive Fuzzballs. Mr. Grizz intends to spread Fuzzy Ooze across the planet and bring mammals back into existence.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_12ac916e	comment	Score Multiplier: In the final score tally, you get a Tone Bonus for having at least 2 Chips from the same Tone in a row on your Palette, starting from an additional 100 points. Each subsequent Chip grants another round of Tone Bonus equal to the previous bonus +100 points, so 3 Chips would give you 300 (100 + 200) points, 4 Chips would give you 600 (100 + 200 + 300), and so forth. This makes crafting a build made entirely of a single Tone an incredibly lucrative way to rake in Prlz, as filling the entire Palette with one Tone will give you by default 81000 points!*Some Tones do not have enough Chips to fill the entire board, however; Drone Chips only take up 35 out of 36 possible slots, for example.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_13d7a65e	comment	The Artifact: Stingers, like several other Boss Salmonids, are enemy personifications of the series' special weapons; in their case, the Sting Ray. However, the Sting Ray is one of the specials that was removed between games (with its role effectively taken by the Killer Wail 5.1). Like the previous game, a triumphant boat horn is played at the end of a successful shift which signals the employees to jump back to the vehicle they arrived in. However, it makes slightly less sense here since the boat from 2 was replaced with a helicopter.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_13dcb20b	comment	Antepiece: One level unique to the tutorial version of the Spire of Order requires that you scale a wall, but the wall isn't inkable. You'll need to wait for a Springing Spiccato to spawn and bounce up using its spring, as a mini-tutorial that some Jelletons will do something helpful if you KO them. The Warm-Up Boss battle serves as one for the Final Boss, in that both are stationary Mook Makers surrounded by a barrier that can only be destroyed by eliminating portals scattered throughout the arena and sync their attacks to the beat of the background music. The final boss has far more health and a more varied attack pattern than the tutorial boss, who mostly just summons Jelletons.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_14184bc7	comment	Fake Longevity: While the single-player campaigns avoid it unlike in Splatoon 2, players aiming for 100% Completion are in for a rough time. Getting card sleeves from Tableturf Battle opponents requires beating them on the max difficulty level 30 times, which itself requires you to defeat them three times on each of the lower two difficulties, meaning at minimum 540 Tableturf games pre-DLC or a whopping 936 post-DLC to get them all (and that's if everything goes in your favor). Some of the items at the Grizzco exchange counter also require an insane amount of Boss Salmonid grinding to purchase - there are two banners that require a whopping 333 gold scales. And that's not going into the many collectibles for your Splashtag that need several thousand plays or kills of a specific mode/enemy (in Ranked modes and Salmon Run respectively) to unlock. Then there's badges you get for maxing your Level and Grizzco points (at 999 and 9,999,999 respectively). If you're going for 100% Completion, be prepared for a massive time investment of several thousand hours at the very least.

Most of it is set in a monochrome, deathly quiet, mostly unpopulated version of Inkopolis Square and the Deca Tower, contrasting heavily with the generally colorful and fun main game. Pearl and Marina's usual quips take some of the edge off, though.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_15756c9d	comment	Where It All Began: On a series-wide scope, Alterna. Alterna Logs 3-6 detail how a surviving faction of humanity manufactured crystals from the bodily fluids of squids that could output images of someone's deepest thoughts. Their leaders grew restless and tried to launch a rocket to the surface, but the energy from the boosters overloaded the crystals and brought the colony down... causing the crystals, suffused with humanity's desires, to contaminate the water. These would be absorbed by the marine life, inducing rapid evolution, and eventually calling them to leave the cavern, establish the Splatlands, and spread over the rest of the planet. 5,000 years later, a squid capable of taking a humanoid form was born, and civilization was re-established, primarily by what would become the Inklings and Octarians. Long story short, human ambition and desires, combined with mind-reading color-changing crystals and radioactive water, induced the evolution of cephalopod sapience.

Like most levels, it rewards 300 every subsequent completion after the first, but what makes it stand out for farming is that it can be cleared in less than 10 seconds per run since all it needs you to do is to aim an E-Liter 4K's shot at a balloon in the center of a rotating sphere. Play the level enough times, and you'll master the timing to the extent that you'll be spending more time on the loading screen than the actual level.

But if even one of their opponents can sneak through and grab a Signal, it will summon a Sprinkler of Doom that inks a huge area of turf in their team's color for the rest of the battle. If this happens early enough, it will take all of the defending team's coordination and skill to clutch out a victory, because they'll have to focus on both keeping the attacking teams away from the center and inking the turf the Sprinkler of Doom covers, while the attackers only have to push through to the Ultra Signal.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_1a237409	type	Order Versus Chaos
Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_1a237409	comment	Unlike Return of the Mammalians, which barely touched upon the theme of Chaos textually, Side Order explicitly discusses Order Versus Chaos, and ultimately concludes that a balance between both sides of the spectrum is ideal - while order and stability is comforting, an unchanging, stagnant world is also not one worth living in. However, large-scale change can be intimidating, and when change forces people to give up something of great value to them, this can lead to resentment and negative consequences. This is demonstrated by the creators of Order - the Octarian engineers who helped Marina create the Memverse - who accidentally created Order due to their resentment towards the mass exodus of Octarians to the surface note which was caused by what was implied to be a fairly authoritarian regime and poor living conditions underground, which was why Octolings took the risk to seek refuge on the surface, which effectively destroyed what was left of the Octarian nation. It's implied they wanted, on some level, for things to go back to how they were before, but most of all a return to the stability of the old status quo, which caused the creation of Order, who attempted to bring their dream to life by creating a world of perfect order.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_1f39b662	comment	Discard and Draw: Vending machines can stock up on random Sub and Special Weapons, allowing you to purchase replacements for your current kit at your discretion. "Homing Shots" Color Chips boost your attacks with varying degrees of auto-tracking, helping shots connect even with inaccurate aim. However, as noted by Acht and Marina in the chip's information, this can be a double-edged sword when you're trying to paint escape paths or shoot specific targets within a crowd, as your weapon quickly develops a mind of its own the more you invest in this skill. "No-Launch Brella" does exactly as advertised, removing your ability to shoot out the canopy to plow through enemies and paint paths ahead of you. In exchange, you effectively have a stronger Undercover Brella, with fully automatic shotgun blasts and a permanent riot shield protecting you from all frontal damage. "Shot-Spread Reduction" is a lesser example; it tightens the accuracy of your weapon's bullets, making them more precise and consistent at destroying targets at a distance. However, this type of fighting buff is also a painting nerf, as your shots will cover less floor space unless you manually sweep your aim.

Even the initial teaser features artwork of a scene that features both Pearl and Marina in the final product, yet it shows only Pearl. However, the Canned Specials in Side Order have her face on them, and Dedf1sh/Acht mentions knowing her. Marina would later officially appear in the final promotional art for Side Order, and while she still isn't directly seen in the February 2024 trailer, she appears in a hologram projected by the Pearl Drone, and her icon and voice are present on the upgrade screen. In the game proper, she's rescued after the tutorial boss, and becomes part of your Mission Control and the provider of permanent upgrades. This is because it's difficult to talk about what Marina actually does in Side Order without giving away her role as the creator of the Order Sector, and thereby spoiling its nature as a location in cyberspace. Notably, the overview trailer crops Marina out of the Prlz upgrade screen because she's holding her laptop on it, indicating she grants you upgrades by hacking the virtual world you're in.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_23cb7c45	comment	Now that primary abilities can be replaced, Ability Doubler has become this. It's an ability unique to the Splatfest Tee, unavailable on anything else, and made outclassed if the player has grinded to a mild degree. Secondary abilities give 3 points worth of their ability, while primaries give 10 points, so as an example, a shirt with Swim Speed Up in all its slots provides 19 points of it... but an Ability Doubler shirt with 3 secondaries of Swim Speed Up only provides 18 points of it. So if you have the ability chunks for it, replacing Ability Doubler is strictly optimal; you don't even need to be concerned about wasting the chunks just for the limited time event, as it costs a reduced price of 6 chunks to add it and you can refund all of those chunks by replacing them with an ability you don't want as much, so long as you do so before the shirt is taken away at the end of the Splatfest.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_2902d076	comment	Support Party Member: This is the theme of Chill Season 2022's new main weapons. All of them are designed less to fight enemies head-on, instead providing some utility for allies. The Splattershot Nova has long painting range and high ink efficiency, but low damage and poor accuracy compared to other weapons in its range class. Its sub weapon is Point Sensor to identify enemy locations for the user's team, and its special is Killer Wail 5.1, which it can farm and use to force enemies to move from a distance. The Big Swig Roller rapidly paints a ton of area with its horizontal swings and has amazing ink efficiency when using its ultra-wide roll, but is the only Roller weapon that is incapable of dealing a One-Hit Kill with its faster horizontal swings. It has a Splash Wall to give teammates cover, and can further protect them with Ink Vac to suck up enemy projectiles. The Snipewriter 5H is a semi-automatic sniper rifle that loads five weak shots when it charges, which won't One-Hit Kill enemies but can weaken them for another ally to follow up or be used to rapidly cover a space in paint. It has the Sprinkler to paint the floor even faster, and the Tacticooler to give buffs to allies.

Stay idle in outside the Spire long enough, and Pearl will turn back into an Inkling and hang out on a random perch in the area. If you manage to reach the odd pillar in the far right corner of the Spire Lobby which has a platform lip at the bottom, you can find ASCII art versions of Pearl, Marina, Smallfry, and an Octotrooper on the back of the pillar alongside a Dash Track. You can use the Dash Track to return back to the main platform, or cross over to the opposite side to view more ASCII art on the back of the elevator (Harmony, Nails, and a few other shopkeeper characters) or the opposite-side pillar (Callie, Marie, a Flooder, and an Elite Octoling). Each color chip produces a specific sound when you press A while it is selected on the palette screen, allowing you to use it like a real synth sampler. This leads to a huge one where playing all the color chips you get from the final boss phase in order results in the "Ebb & Flow" melody. After completing a run of Side Order, the lights in the foyer will occasionally dim and a large glowing polygon will appear over the center platform. Hovering in the middle of it adds the melody of the final boss refight theme, "Short Order", to the background music.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: While stacking multiple of one type of Color Chip can give you some absurdly overpowered results, a few can actually be outright detrimental to stack without other color chips to mitigate their drawbacks: Homing Shot is an aimbotters dream, especially if you max it out... until you need to ink an escape route or aim at something else and find all your shots veering off where you don't want it to go. Acht and Marina both aknowledge this, advising you to just take one or two of these chips to help your aim and no more. Main Firing Speed will outright triple your firing speed on most weapons (except for the Order Blast, which dectuples it), but each shot is still consuming the same amount of ink it does normally. You'll drain your weapon of ink in just seconds of firing, so it's advisable to add some ink recovery chips in order to make up for the ink consumption.

They cost 333 Golden Scales to purchase, and you can only get Golden Scales from fighting a King Salmonid, which spawn randomly. In the best case scenario where you beat it when there are 30 seconds or more on the clock (which is insanely difficult), you'll get 13 scales. If you're at the maximum hazard level for that shift (which makes it even more difficult and requires you grind your rank high enough), then on average, 3% of those scales will be golden, making golden scales ludicrously rare. Oh, and this doesn't take into account that the golden banners must be unlocked before you can buy them, which requires spending an additional 450 bronze, 50 silver, and 4 golden scales.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_33ca811a	type	Game-Breaking Bug
Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_33ca811a	comment	Game-Breaking Bug: Salmon Run in Splatoon 3 is very prone to slowdown on higher hazard levels, particularly when multiple Boss Salmonids that create particle effects (e.g. Fish Sticks, Slammin' Lids, and the notorious Flyfish) are active at once. Frustratingly, while all slowdown is processed on the players' side, the timer is handled on the client end — meaning it will continue to tick down at the same speed while everyone else is lagging. Very rarely, during a Mudmouth Eruption wave, two Mudmouths can spawn from the same Gusher. This causes the frame rate to dip into the single digits as the game struggles to process what's happening. Originally, Big Run rewards were handed out based on how high any given participant's score was relative to those of all players, with only the top 20% getting a silver decoration and only the top 5% getting a gold one. Due to competitive Salmon Runners driving the required percentages for each level of figurine higher with each successive Big Run, casual players were effectively locked out of any level higher than bronze and maybe silver by the fifth one. To combat this, the 6.0.0 update changed this so the thresholds required for each were always fixed and announced at the beginning of the Big Run. Players rejoiced at the news that gold figurines were no longer out of reach — and then despaired as they realized that (with no clear pattern) some players were rewarded based on the new system, and some players were rewarded based on the "top percentage" system. This means that, through no fault of your own, it was entirely possible to clear the given threshold for a certain color of figurine by a significant margin and still get one of a lower level. A lot of angry players who were shooting for gold cleared the 135 mark only to end up with silver figures instead. Making matters worse, the 6.0.1 update, which was supposed to fix this error, didn't actually work for everyone.

Marina even states such, that it's good for if you can't decide on more specialized chips. Any of the gains for movement chips, for filling ink, special, or drone gauge, tend to put on a lot of work for any weapon just because of how much you need to move. While some weapons like it better than others all of them benefit, especially ink refill since it ignores refill cooldown from things like throwing your sub weapons.

Pearl's Step-Off Song, which plays whenever you obtain 3 disc pieces, plays the first few notes of Off the Hook's Inkopolis News theme. #0.1 style is a remix of #0 shell from the previous game's Octo Expansion. Several songs, most notably the themes for most of the bosses, implement the signature five-note Octarian jingle into their melodies. The lyrics to Ebb & Flow are sampled for the cries of the bosses.

With the right color chips, you'll be able to progressively strengthen the weapons to some truly astounding levels of game break that can make even the Grizzco Weapons look like children's toys. Individual chips themselves also count - slotting a single copy of a chip may have negligible effect, depending on what palette you're using, but slotting many copies (whether it be by pushing past a certain threshold to be useful or bonuses ramping up with each subsequent chip can result in a single type of chip single-handedly clearing floors.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_44e013e4	comment	Stance System: The Stringer class is unique for one mechanic: shooting a Spread Shot of three darts, the spread is horizontal while grounded and vertical while in the air. Vertical shots are better for nailing its One-Hit Kill since player hitboxes are taller than they are wide; horizontal shots are capable of nailing enemies with chip damage better since they cover more ground. The S-BLAST has two firing modes likewise activated by if the player's in midair or not: while grounded, the shots are long-range but have minimal explosion size, and while airborne they have massive explosions but tiny range. Dualies maintain this ability from the previous game, and Fresh Season 2024 adds a new Dualie that really exemplifies this trope: the Douser Dualies FF. When shot normally, it reaches far, but has somewhat poor accuracy and fire rate. Rolling with it will vastly increase the fire rate and improve the accuracy, but in exchange it loses a significant amount of range and prevents the user from moving for a significant duration.

The conclusion of the Japanese-exclusive Kaiten-Yaki vs ÅŒban-yaki vs Imagawa-Yaki Splatfest in 2023 had Big Man remark that their next concert was booked for where the Splatfest's topic originated from. The sentence makes sense In-Universe, but out-of-universe, Big Man was referencing Nintendo Live 2024. While the event in question was canceled, it was planned to take place in Tokyo (where ÅŒban-yaki were first sold) and feature a holographic Deep Cut/Off the Hook concert.

The tornado should be whipping your crew around and flinging them miles away, but because the funnel cloud is in the distance, safely out of reach, you're completely unaffected — there doesn't even seem to be any wind.

There are (as of the the 2024 SpringFest) three post-launch Idol Splatfest battle songs: Liquid Sunshine, Big Betrayal, and Suffer No Fools. The first of these songs to be released (Liquid Sunshine) is the only one to not have a partial translation and the only one to not be unveiled alongside a music video of the Idols performing (it is instead played over Tricolor Turf War gameplay).

The tradeoff is that it has pitiable range on its shots; less than the already short-range Dapple Dualies, although the range does improve significantly if you stay in combined fire mode after rolling.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_5554487f	comment	Purposefully Overpowered: The Grizzco weapons make their return in All Random rotations in Salmon Run Next Wave, being obscenely broken weapons designed to make Salmonid life a living hell. In addition to the returning Grizzco Blaster, Grizzco Charger, Grizzco Brella, and Grizzco Slosher, this game introduces new Grizzco weapons, such as: The Grizzco Stringer, first introduced in the October 1st, 2022 All Random rotation, is a Great Bow that fires nine darts at a time. Uncharged shots give it unmatched turf-inking power, while charged shots fire explosive bolts that have very wide spread and obliterate nearly anything they hit on direct contact. Get close enough to a large Boss Salmonid and you can unload multiple bolts at once into the foe, dealing enough damage to One-Hit Kill anything short of a King Salmonid. The Grizzco Splatana, introduced in the December 2nd, 2022 rotation, is the Splatana Stamper with Crippling Overspecialization turned up to eleven. The weapon is extremely slow to swing, even slower to charge and loses the ability to shoot Sword Beams, giving it even shorter range than the Brushes and rendering it nigh-incapable of painting anything. In return it gets some of the most horrifying damage ever created, dealing 200 damage per basic swing. And if that's not enough, its charged attack deals 1,200 damage — which the Salmonid training dummies fail to fully register — and pierces armored enemies like Steelheads and Flyfish. The Grizzco Dualies, added with Drizzle Season 2023's first Big Run, bears all the bullet hose goodness of all Dualies when it dodge rolls, in addition to the ability to explode every time it dodge rolls. Each explosion is about the size of a Suction Bomb's and it can do 9 in a row before a short rest moment, so it has an option to eviscerate crowds with a bunch of deadly somersaults, given a Collision Damage enemy like Steel Eels or Scrappers doesn't block it.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9	type	Central Theme
Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9	comment	Central Theme: As is evident by the name of the expansion, Side Order focuses on the other theme of Splatoon 2's FinalFest, Order, contrasting with the main game's theme of chaos. Visual design in the Splatoon series generally follows a colorful, graffiti-covered, sticker-punk attitude. Not so in the Order Sector: nearly everything is a uniformly-colored white, if not a contrasting black or a pastel tone. Furthermore, hard, seamlessly perfect edges are a common fixture of architecture, from the blocky layouts of the Spire of Order's towers to Agent Eight and Pearl forming from straight-edged low-poly abstractions. Unlike Return of the Mammalians, which barely touched upon the theme of Chaos textually, Side Order explicitly discusses Order Versus Chaos, and ultimately concludes that a balance between both sides of the spectrum is ideal - while order and stability is comforting, an unchanging, stagnant world is also not one worth living in. However, large-scale change can be intimidating, and when change forces people to give up something of great value to them, this can lead to resentment and negative consequences. This is demonstrated by the creators of Order - the Octarian engineers who helped Marina create the Memverse - who accidentally created Order due to their resentment towards the mass exodus of Octarians to the surface note which was caused by what was implied to be a fairly authoritarian regime and poor living conditions underground, which was why Octolings took the risk to seek refuge on the surface, which effectively destroyed what was left of the Octarian nation. It's implied they wanted, on some level, for things to go back to how they were before, but most of all a return to the stability of the old status quo, which caused the creation of Order, who attempted to bring their dream to life by creating a world of perfect order.

Haven't gotten to that part? Too bad. The ending dialogue for the Power vs. Wisdom vs. Courage Splatfest has Shiver casually mention Deep Cut's side job as thieves, a minor spoiler for Return of the Mammalians. Big Man points out that this is supposed to be a secret to everybody. And it didn't stop there — in one of the stage dialogues for Hagglefish Market, Frye brings up a merchant to whom Deep Cut often sells the treasure they plunder from the Crater. The opening dialogue for the Baby Chicks vs. Li'l Bunnies vs. Bear Cubs Splatfest has Big Man comment that the round ears of bear cubs look oddly familiar, a comment which Shiver appears uncharacteristically perturbed by — because it's referencing Mr. Grizz, the Big Bad of Return of the Mammalians.

While Splatsville is mostly a Japanese-style city, the "Splatlands" name evokes the American Badlands, and Scorch Gorge features hoodoo-like rock formations similar to those found in the region in real life. One of the victory poses you can unlock through the first catalog involves a dab, which is popular in the United States (and elsewhere in the West) but nearly unknown in Japan; conversely, Shiver takes after a performer of rakugo, a form of comic storytelling that's only well-known in Japan.

The mere mention of this game is enough to make Acht feel queasy. Marina made an even harder sequel game, which Pearl aced first try.

Similarly, even after completing Return of the Mammalians, Deep Cut shows no remorse over shooting down armies of their friend's pet's species when discussing their Salmon Run escapades. Peeking into Deep Cut's window in the Splatville square will cause them to give you a friendly wave and a smile. This is still the case after you've met them in Return of the Mammalians, even though they serve as your rivals throughout most of the campaign.

Sea creatures aren't granted an exception, as the Salmonid Field Guide implies that dolphins are extinct by saying the Flipper-Flopper's mask is modeled after "a creature said to have flourished in ancient times."

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_6b1013ef	comment	Paranormal Episode: The sixth Splatfest uses this as a theme. It pits Bigfoot, Nessie, and Aliens together and asks players which one is real. Shiver, Frye, and Big Man recount their creature sightings: Shiver tells a tale of seeing "a long, thin THING slithering out from the water" after coming off of work. That perfectly fits the description of Horrorboros, which is long, thin, lives in the sea, and only appears in Xtrawaves at the end of Grizzco shifts (which Deep Cut is known to work at sometimes). Frye goes over her memory of seeing a flying, metal UFO near the crater. She also specifically outlines that it had "fierce-looking fists", which indicates that it was DJ Octavio's mecha, which is also flying, made of metal, encountered in the crater, and has enormous fists. Big Man's story is the vaguest, with him having gone skiing, locating a giant footprint, and hearing gossip from others nearby about "a big fuzzy shadow". Being giant and covered in fur perfectly describes Mr. Grizz, an utterly massive bear covered with a dark brown fuzz.

Mr. Grizz is actually a hyper-intelligent grizzly bear and the last survivor of the doomed Ark Polaris (the wreckage of which is a Salmon Run stage from the previous game), and he wants to use said ooze to restore mammals as the dominant lifeforms on Earth.

DJ Octavio is once again the "Bad", appearing towards the beginning of the story to attack you because he believes the New Squidbeak Splatoon has something to do with his missing army. Deep Cut also fulfils this role for the bulk of the campaign, being antagonistic towards the NSS due to viewing them as rival treasure hunters. As for the "Evil", there's Mr. Grizz, who wishes to destroy the world by coating it in Fuzzy Ooze. Doing so would kill most of the marine life outright, and Grizz clearly doesn't care as long as mammals can finally return and become the dominant species of Earth again.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_6d7026fa	comment	Punny Name: In the Japanese version, Splatsville is known as "Bankara-Gai". This is a three-way pun on "Bankara" (a Meiji-era term which is the opposite of "high-collar"), "Color" (referring to the constant squid ink theme throughout the series), and "Bunker" (the city is built on the ruins of Alterna, a giant underground bunker). The shoe shop in this game is dubbed Crush Station. Sounds like an apt name for the Lovable Jock employed there, but saying the location's name quickly puns it into "crustacean", referring to the kind of animal said employee is. The Snipewriter 5H, a Sniper Rifle pencil, is a triple pun: combining "snipe", "typewriter", and 5H (a pencil hardness category). The Super Chump is a pun on Super Jump, which it mimicks, and the word "chump", referencing the Confusion Fu nature of it.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_6e1e24a	type	Balance Buff
Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_6e1e24a	comment	Balance Buff: Ink Armor not returning for Splatoon 3 indirectly buffed many weapons, mainly Mighty Glacier types like Blasters and the Sloshing Machine, which used to have to contend with being much worse in the presence of an enemy who suddenly gained the ability to soak at least one extra hit and getting punished for it. Graphical adjustments have made Ninja Squid even better than in the previous games, as it's now practically impossible to see the ink ripple made by Ninja Squid swimming even up close, much less from a distance. It's now even easier to reposition and surprise foes without being noticed. The swim speed penalty added in Splatoon 2 was also reduced, making it less dependent on Swim Speed Up to be usable and giving players running it more flexibility with ability slots. It's also one of the beneficiaries of Ink Armor's removal, since Ink Armor would reveal allies trying to hide in ink, Ninja Squid or not. The Goo Tuber is a beneficiary of multiple indirect buffs, such as the addition of the Squid Roll and Squid Surge giving it more flexible utility of the weapon's unique high charge-hold ability and a vastly improved sub/special combination in the form of powerful space-control tools, the Torpedo and the Tenta Missiles. It also helps that its main competitors in the Charger class were devalued compared to Splatoon 2 by virtue of having worse kits. In multiplayer, the Splashdown, which was widely regarded to be the worst special in Splatoon 2 in anything higher than casual play, was replaced by the functionally similar, but more useful, Reefslider. Like the Splashdown, the Reefslider is a "panic button" special that generates a massive ink explosion around the user to splat any foes who happen to be in close proximity. Unlike the Splashdown, the Reefslider gives armor once the bike starts moving, making it harder to get smoked instantly, and functions as a Dash Attack that is unimpeded by enemy ink, giving it the ability to break through enemy lines and create openings for allies if used strategically. The Splashdown proper was also retooled into the Triple Splashdown for Chill Season 2023. While it still retains the weakness of being able to be shot at during the wind-up, it now compensates for this by summoning two ink fists that deal additional Splashdown explosions near the user. This gives it several edges over the original: enabling it to hit from further away or safely do so upon low-ground enemies, making it so that the Special can still have some effect even when the user is taken out, and reducing how viable it is to simply shoot down the user (to fully negate the Special, that'll need to be done three times, which just isn't possible for some weapons). It's also a major beneficiary of the Tacticooler, which enables the Triple Splashdown's landing attack in more situations.

The weapon is extremely slow to swing, even slower to charge and loses the ability to shoot Sword Beams, giving it even shorter range than the Brushes and rendering it nigh-incapable of painting anything. In return it gets some of the most horrifying damage ever created, dealing 200 damage per basic swing. And if that's not enough, its charged attack deals 1,200 damage — which the Salmonid training dummies fail to fully register — and pierces armored enemies like Steelheads and Flyfish.

Agent 8 would eventually become the player character in Side Order, but Agent 4 is still absent, only referenced in dialogue and serving as the basis for a Palette. Off the Hook would eventually get their time to shine in Side Order, but their near-complete absence from the base game is still striking considering the amount of Character Focus they got in Splatoon 2. Besides some voice-only cameos in Damp Socks's songs, a handful of locker decorations, and one Sunken Scroll to quickly explain why they aren't around, nobody ever mentions them (not even Callie, Marie, or Cuttlefish, who they're supposedly friends with). Even more strangely, the other idols do get mentioned during Off the Hook's focus campaign Side Order. The two wouldn't get another nod in the base game until their new Splatfest song "Suffer No Fools", over a full year and a half after Splatoon 3 released.

Three teams drop into the match, with two teams of two attackers and one team of four defenders. Since they're outnumbered and generally spawn further away from the middle, the two attacking teams will want to cooperate to splat the defenders. If defenders lose, both attacker teams win, but the one with the most turf covered will get a bonus, so if the defenders are dispatched then attackers are incentivized to clash and attempt for that bonus until the defense forces squabbling attackers to unite again.

The first few levels even involve retrieving a Zapfish at the end of them. But then DJ Octavio shows up way too early as a boss fight, and after being beaten, reveals that he didn't steal the Great Zapfish this time. Suddenly, the crater beneath everyone gives way and they all plunge into the depths. Agent 3 finds themselves waking up in the snowy landscape of Alterna, and that is when the "Nintendo Presents Splatoon 3" title card finally appears, telling players that what they just experienced was the Cold Open and that the true story campaign has now begun.

It manages to be both Denser and Wackier and Darker and Edgier at the same time. Much of this is explained by the expansion taking place in a virtual world; said "zombie" has had their will and memories restored thanks to the program, which was designed by Marina to help the Octarians who were "sanitized" by Kamabo Corporation before and during the events of Octo Expansion.

In Return of the Mammalians, Agent 3 and the Captain are both referred to with gender-neutral pronouns. Customizing the Captain is referred to as selecting their "hairstyle" rather than picking their gender.

Humorously, the first thing revealed about Side Order, before even the name, was that it was about Pearl and Marina; given how badly Out of Focus the two are in the base game, it comes across as the devs trying to avoid another "Bring Callie Back" situation. The prologue even has you break Marina out of her mind-controlled situation similar to Callie, and Off the Hook is reunited right at the start. And unlike the Octo Expansion (which is more about Agent 8's escape from the Deepsea Metro and defeat of Kamabo Co.) or Return of the Mammalians (in which the Squid Sisters and Deep Cut play relatively minor roles), the story of Side Order is intrinsically tied to Off the Hook. To a lesser extent, Dedf1sh — real name Acht — makes their first genuine appearance here after they spent the Octo Expansion writing music in the background, never actually seen.

This translates to Off the Hook's tour being nine months long total (four first half, one break, four second half). Sunken Scroll 22 implies their tour started either on Splatoon 3's release date in September, or shortly before. add up to Side Order taking place not when the DLC released, but exactly one year earlier in the Splatooniverse equivalent of February 2023 — when the campaign's first teaser trailer was unveiled. On a first run, Pearl and Marina underline this by talking about how they need to escape the Order Sector so they can continue their tour; after the credits roll, though, it's already over and has been for a while.

During the opener dialogue for new seasons, Big Man wonders if any of the new weapons work with fins.

The base Splatana Wiper is a squeegee-based windshield wiper while the Splatana Stamper, a slower and more powerful version, is a rolling stamper crossed with a chainsaw. They launch ink Sword Beam style attacks and when used ranged act like pistols from other shooters, short-range with moderate but unexceptional damage, and deal extra damage if the actual melee hit also connects. They can be charged which can't be done as often as uncharged attacks, but it increases their damage, enables a mild Dash Attack, and deals a One-Hit Kill if an enemy is hit with a charged melee strike.

While bosses can also release enemy mobs, they usually only do so at set intervals or in response to certain actions, and their other attacks are generally easier to avoid as long as you know what to look out for. One of the few exceptions is the Parallel Canon, the mode's counterpart to enemy Octolings (and the sanitized Agent 3 to a lesser degree), which scale in difficulty the more chips you have.

In Japan, Hachi (meaning "Eight") is a common name; them getting a new moniker in this way and being ecstatic over it reads as them being excited over carving out a little more identity out for themselves. The number-to-name shift isn't really communicated by the literal translation of Agent Eight becoming Eight in most other languages, so outside of Japan it simply reads as Eight being happy that they're considered a close friend.

When using Inkopolis Plaza as your current hub, the usual color motif is replaced with orange and blue for all the loading screens (including when booting up the game), as a fun nod to Splatoon 1. In a similar fashion, using Inkopolis Square as your hub replaces the color scheme with the second game's pink and green.

Completing it unlocks a final Alterna Log entry providing details on the Ark Polaris (a spaceship containing Earth animals tasked with locating a new planet to inhabit), how it ended up returning to Earth with only one of the animals surviving re-entry (Bear #03, aka Mr. Grizz), and how he came up with his plan to coat the world in Fuzzy Ooze.

International promotional materials skim over the fact that Big Man wrote the song, giving the impression that Shiver and Frye are simply holding the Jerkass Ball and trying to control every aspect of his life.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_cce399	comment	This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: The Brush class of weapons, normally considered to be among the worst to get in a Salmon Run shift due to the complete lack of range they have, can shred through Big Shots like paper since not only is the boss slow moving (meaning rapid brush strokes will rapidly cause damage), they also can't directly attack players, meaning there is nothing wrong with getting up close. Exploshers get additional use outside of just splatting Flyfish during Mudmouth Eruptions. The explosive properties of the weapons shot applies to the Mudmouth as well, and its ability to pierce through Salmonids give it an extremely easy time splatting them. Dualie Dodge Rolls get more use outside of simply being a step for entering turret mode thanks to Slammin' Lids. The Dodge Rolls let them quickly enter and exit the Lids force field, allowing for them to safely induce slams without the need of inking the ground.

The Order Sector is completely white, Pearl and Marina have contrasting light and dark color schemes, and Eight has white clothes and dark hair. The only color that appears nearly as often as black or white is red, which tends to otherwise be avoided in the series since it looks like blood. Even allied ink is colored in muted pastels, leagues away from the brighter tones the series typically uses and just barely colored enough to clearly distinguish itself from the white paintable surfaces while still giving off that same deathly blankness.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	type	Anti-Frustration Features
Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: Each color chip on the Palette is associated with a certain color, but so that the UI is still understandable to colorblind players, each color also has abstract art on its surface to distinguish them even when seen through greyscale. Because this mode lacks multiplayer functions, the Booyah Bomb automatically charges without the player needing to mash "Booyah!". The disc pieces. Low drop rate, but collecting 3 will launch away all enemies and temporarily prevent more from spawning. They exist largely to prevent prolonged stalemate situations, in which the Jelletons are unable to splat you, but you're too busy dealing with them to actually progress the floor's objective. The reprieve that the step-off song gives will almost definitely give you enough time to effortlessly hit a checkpoint on the objective. If a Danger floor disables Pearl, though, they won't do you any good at all — you need her around to play the Step-Off Song, after all. Unlike in Octo Expansion, 8-Balls (or Infinity Balls, in this case) can never be bounced off the stage, something lampshaded by Pearl and Acht the very first time Eight plays an 8-Ball stage. The Pearl Drone, if you decide to invest in combat chips for her, will usually help you out in the floors objective, like inking the Splat Zone or shooting the Turbine Tower. She won't, however, help with the 8-Balls, which require careful shooting to maneuver into their sockets, and which her reckless shooting could knock in the wrong direction. If you're playing with multiple lives and have lost some of them on your way up, the next Vending Machine Corner you visit will be prioritize extra lives as one of its wares. Unlike almost any other roguelike, you can unlock the ability to restart a failed run by talking to Marina, though at a hefty Prlz cost. Certain bonus challenges ask you to keep yourself from using a particular ability for the floor, like not gliding with the drone or using your sub weapon a set amount of times. These aren't instantly failed if you use the ability, but rather drains the Membux reward you would receive by completing the floor. It gives just a bit of leeway to perform the ability if absolutely necessary. Some of the bonus challenges offer some leniency in what you can do: The "Don't Move in Octoling Form" and "Swim Form" challenges don't penalize you for falling, and the former won't penalize you for using weapons that don't move you. The "Don't Jump" challenge won't penalize you for bouncing off a Springing Spiccato's spring, pressing B to climb a wall faster, or using the Dualies' dodge roll. The lights over each Color Chip indicate how well-researched you have them in your Color Chip notes; 1 light for just Acht's commentary, 2 for Marina's and 3 for Pearl's. Also, if you open the Color Chip list while selecting a level, the chip you will get from the level will be the one where the cursor appears, for easier comprehension of Color Chip effects. If your Palette is full, the Color Chip rewards from levels are replaced with Prlz rewards. If the Pearl Drone has access to Splat Bombs and throws them at the Turbine Tower during Tower Escort stages, they'll land on a hidden lip at the bottom and usually stay there if the tower isn't moving, which helps considering they're affected by gravity and if the tower isn't near the ground. Regarding the unique final palette, because Eight's Palette reduces its Color Chip slots based on your hacks and you can't retry any failed runs with it, you have access to a Floor Skip function, which simultaneously helps make up for lost time and lets you avoid picking bad Color Chips, in case you don't have the Floor Reset hack. As Pearl herself states in one of her Color Chip notes, Pearl Drone won't activate any of her attacks until she has a target in her sight. Since all of her Actions are Cooldown based and take a while to charge, it makes sure she doesn't waste any charge blasting thin air. The Continue hack allows you to restart a floor with all your lives restored for a hefty membux cost, and you can retry any failed run by paying Prlz, although high floor ones can be very pricey. If you don't like a floor you're on after you've already picked it, you can turn around and walk back to the elevator and go back to the floor select screen, though it costs the equivalent amount of Membux as the floor's reward. Because a Color Chip Saturation bonus is random, it could grant a Drone Chip Saturation in an instance where most of the appropriate chips are locked (either because the hacks for them haven't been unlocked or have been deactivated) or not available (if the drone action slots are limited). If this should happen, all of the drone chips are activated and the Pearl Drone is given five action slots, but only for the Drone Chip Saturation level. If you attempt to visit a vending machine while carrying less than 500 Membux (the cost of a first purchase of a Color Chip with out discount hacks), Marina will remind you that you might want to stock up on cash before visiting a machine, which should help prevent accidentally visiting a machine when you don't have enough to buy a single thing. Being in swim form prevents you from using the Pearl Drone's hover. This extends to the Kraken Royale form, which can't switch back to humanoid form to hover to safety... unless it falls off the stage. If that happens, Eight's Kraken Royale mode ends immediately to ensure you can safely return back to solid ground.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_dcb9c541	comment	Ship Tease: While Splatoon 2 had some shippy moments and lines of dialogue of its own, Side Order is filled to the brim with Marina and Pearl being totally into each other, even to the point of Pearl wanting to "find a quiet spot together" and spend some "us time" with Marina once their tour is over. One of the least subtle hints is Marina having an... interesting photograph of Pearl as her desktop wallpaper, though Marina acting jealous towards Acht when she thinks they're flirting with Pearl comes close. Here's a memorable remark after Eight unlocks Locker #18: In one of the elevator dialogues, Pearl admits she found Marina's mind-controlled "Agitando" form far scarier than any of the bosses in the tower because she was worried it was permanent and that she would never get the old Marina back, something Marina is touched enough by to break out the "Pearlie" nickname over. Acht reacts as if they're witnessing two Sickeningly Sweethearts going at it — and they very well might be. For a non-Pearlina ship, there's a brief bit of dialogue that implies that Shiver gets jealous of any girl who talks to Frye, based on how she reacts to Pearl doing so.

More broadly, every Jelleton will charge your Lucky meter if they're killed, which will increase the rate of item drops from enemies. Battering Lentos can be this, of the "Accidentally Assisting" variety due to Artificial Stupidity. On most levels, they can be baited into using their headbutts on other Jelletons, clearing space for you and even knocking some foes off the stage for you. In addition, their AI has them focus on knocking infinity balls in the direction they're facing - if positioned right, they can be tricked into knocking the balls into the goal.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_e4884264	comment	No Sidepaths, No Exploration, No Freedom: Many of the new or heavily-reworked stages in this game lack flank routes that have been in previous games' stages. Brinewater Springs, for example, only has the singular route up the slope for players that are trying to push deeper into the enemy base, while Undertow Spillway has no alternate routes through its narrow mid. Among the ones that do have multiple approach options, one of them will generally be really weak, such as with Scorch Gorge's grate bridge on its non-Turf War, non-Splat Zones layout, which doesn't enable the use of the faster swim form and leaves users vulnerable to attack. This design direction is acknowledged in one of Deep Cut's Splatcasts:

Frustratingly, while all slowdown is processed on the players' side, the timer is handled on the client end — meaning it will continue to tick down at the same speed while everyone else is lagging.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_e545e190	comment	Nerf: Main Power Up was removed from the game after being a rather controversial late-stage addition in Splatoon 2. Among other things, this heavily nerfs weapons that were extremely dependent on the ability to be viable, such as the Bamboozler 14 Mk 1, which could use MPU to effectively One-Hit Kill enemies*Main Power Up is capped so that it can't decrease the shots to kill, so the Bamboozler would be capped at 99.9% damage... which could then easily finish off the opponent with one shot anyway thanks to painting the ground around them to deal that last bit of damage but can no longer do so in Splatoon 3. Bomb Defense Up DX was also rolled back, replaced by Sub Resistance Up. This essentially removes the damage resistance against Specials that Bomb Defense Up DX provided, forcing players to be more wary about stray hits and splash damage once again. The roller class no longer has a rolling hitbox when falling. They must properly land and start moving again to get the hitbox back. Tenta Missiles now hover in the air above the target destination for a brief moment before making impact, decreasing their effective impact speed. Its homing properties were also adjusted so that it now only hits the area where the target was when the Tenta Missiles were fired, rather than tracking them. Version 2.0.0 also added a cooldown period after initiating the special before the user can start building their special meter again. The Ultra Stamp's One-Hit Kill hitbox was decreased from the previous game; combined with its awkward handling, it's a significantly harder weapon to pressure with than before. Many of the Special Weapons in Splatoon 3 are retools of ones from the original Splatoon, all significantly toned down due to how notoriously overpowered they were in Splatoon: The Triple Inkstrike summons big tornados like the Inkstrike, this time three at once; however, the Inkstrike markers are now thrown like grenades, unlike the original Inkstrike which could target anywhere on the stage, and their individual coverage and duration are significantly reduced. The Trizooka shoots up to three large, explosive globs of ink instead of the Inkzooka's mini-ink tornadoes, which could be shot any number of times until the special timed out. The hitboxes are also smaller and it no longer paints a trail while flying, limiting its utility for getting splats to long range. The Killer Wail 5.1 summons six small homing beams instead of one massive, powerful (non-homing) laser, preventing it from being used to completely lock out an area for its duration. Even when targeting foes, the automatic tracking makes it vulnerable to being predicted and manipulated, limiting its use for splatting and making it more of a harassment tool to limit enemy movement while you do something else. The Big Bubbler summons a massive shield that covers a large area around where it's activated. However, unlike the Bubbler, which encased all nearby allies and protected them from all damage for its duration, the Big Bubbler's shield is limited to a sphere directly underneath a stationary flying drone, which can be destroyed with enough firepower, pierced with specials like the Killer Wail 5.1, or simply entered by an enemy player. Its only advantage over the Bubbler is it also doubles as an infinite, though temporary, Squid Beakon. Like the Echolocator, the Wave Breaker is a massive area-of-effect Special that reveals enemy locations. Unlike the Echolocator, the Wave Breaker has a finite range instead of a global effect, it can be negated by jumping over the shockwaves or destroying the Wave Breaker itself, and users can't farm a second Special while the first is active. The Kraken Royale takes longer to activate than the Kraken, leaves the user vulnerable when it ends, and its jump attack takes two hits to splat enemies, compared to the original Kraken's One-Hit Kill, which now requires a charged Dash Attack. It also is unaffected by Swim Speed Up, so you can't make it go faster. Overall, this makes the Kraken Royale less of a guaranteed escape option and gives enemies a better chance of avoiding and punishing it. The Super Chump has a similar function to a Bomb Rush/Launcher (specifically the Suction Bomb variant), but scatters all of its explosives at once around a wide area and heavily telegraphs where they'll land. The bombs themselves are also significantly weaker, with a fuse time longer than a Suction Bomb while having damage comparable to the weak Burst Bomb, and can be attacked to negate their threat. This reduces both specials' notorious coverage capability and ability to singlehandedly lock down certain parts of the stage while giving it new use as a Confusion Fu distraction tactic. A number of Splatoon 2's more oppressive specials, including the Splashdown (outside of Hero Mode), Sting Ray, Ink Armor, and Baller, were removed in Splatoon 3. Weapons that had them were instead given the game's new specials, which are on the whole considerably more balanced.

This was carefully avoided with the Big Run on Eeltail Alley, which is set in a heavily populated area of Splatsville; the water level was fixed at a level far below the map itself and any of the buildings on the side, meaning Salmonids could only enter the stage through Gushers.

That's all it does, yet it's extremely useful for practically every build. Mobility builds will get a ton of use out of it for having swim speed to use the Squid Roll more often and rush attack to make it deal more damage. Ink-hungry weapons love it since it requires no ink to use (in fact the player can still regenerate ink while Squid Rolling). Charge-reliant weapons will appreciate having a quick close-range attack that only needs one Color Chip to be useful. Weapons with poor multi-hit capabilities will enjoy that one Squid Attack can nail multiple fodder enemies with a single use. The high base knockback makes it viable for builds with weak main weapons like Lucky and Drone for holding back a swarm of Jelletons or eliminating them via Ring Out. It's generally hard to think of a situation where Squid Attack won't enhance a build.

Splatoon 3 (Video Game) / int_f0508c08	comment	Decomposite Character: The two previous Splatoon games had a special that takes the form of a teammate-buffing protective support ability (Bubbler in 1, Ink Armor in 2). Splatoon 3 splits this into two separate abilities: Big Bubbler and Tacticooler. Big Bubbler takes the form of a protective support ability: it gives its user and immediately-adjacent allies breathing room against most forms of attack by creating a shield. Unlike previous examples though, Big Bubbler isn't a status effect, instead being a stationary object that has to be destroyed or bypassed to affect enemies inside. Tacticooler is the teammate-buffing support ability, throwing a minifridge that gives nearby allies a buff. Unlike previous examples, the buff does nothing to actually protect against attacks, and only affects allies' stats. Allies also need to be near the cooler to get the buff rather than it being automatically applied.
