Splatsville

Splatsville is the main hub of. It is located in the Splatlands.

Description
After the events of the Chaos vs. Order Splatfest, Splatsville's development increased rapidly as more Inklings and Octolings started to move to the Splatlands. The city is also known as the "city of chaos." The city is extremely crowded and different shops and apartments can be seen. Planes and trains occasionally pass by like they did in Inkopolis Plaza and Inkopolis Square from previous games. There is a large staircase in the area as well, but it cannot be visited by the player. Splatsville is larger than Inkopolis Square and Inkopolis Plaza and lacks their clean geometric layout. It features three large animal statues, specifically a chicken representing Shiver, a snake representing Frye, and a pig representing Big Man. The animal statues connect to each of the three mixes of Deep Cut's solo song, Anarchy Poisons.

Splatfest
During the Sneak Peek before a Splatfest players can vote for their team and Deep Cut's floats can be seen getting assembled. A couple days before the Splatfest starts, it becomes sunset, during this time the details on the arch near the amiibo box will glow, shifting through the rainbow.

During a Splatfest in Splatoon 3, it becomes nighttime in Splatsville. Similar to Splatfests in the previous games, the hub is decorated with colored lights and lanterns, neon signs and fireworks with spray-painted posts of different teams' ink colors. During the first half of the Splatfest, Shiver, Frye, and Big Man dance and sing on separate floats, which drift around Splatsville unless the player is in Photo Mode. During the second half of the Splatfest, Shiver, Frye and Big Man's floats all connect to create one stage. Jellyfish, Inklings, and Octolings are scattered throughout Splatsville, wearing their respective Splatfest Tees and dancing to the music. Since players have to wear their Splatfest Tees, Jelonzo and Jel La Fleur have special dialogue informing them that they can not equip new clothing bought until after the Splatfest.

Big Run


During a Big Run in Splatoon 3, the sky becomes red and fog is visible throughout the hub, with Big run flyers found all over Splatsville as well. Grizzco helicopters also fly overhead. If the player gets close enough to the apartments in Splatsville, they can hear the worried cries of Octolings.

Quotes

 * "Welcome to orange! This is the place to see and be seen. The hottest spot on the map! If you wanna make it in THIS town, you gotta be your freshest. And how do you show off your extremely fresh self? Online battles! Just hit up the orange. Seriously, if you start making waves in battles, everyone around here will know your name. Wait...WHAT?! You're new here, and I don't mean to alarm you, but...that dude is seriously scoping you from the sewer. Whatever. It's fishy, but we'll get to that later. So where were we? Oh, right. Time to sink into the ink! If you wanna get right to it, check out the orange. Or...follow that orange down the orange. Up to you. Go get 'em! Full splat ahead!" - When first entering Splatsville upon starting the game for the first time.

Trivia

 * There is a portable toilet in the Splatsville square, near the construction site, to one side of a ramp leading up to the garden where the Tableturf Battle Dojo is located. If the player stands next to it for roughly a minute, they will hear a male Octoling groan, presumably from inside.
