Appearance
The Splash-o-matic, similarly to its cousin the Sploosh-o-matic, seems to be a marker or pen inside a metal frame. The marker changes color to match the user's ink. The Splash-o-matic has what appears to be a pressure sensor near the nozzle, and flanking the nozzle is a pair of levers with black handles. On the back of the Splash-o-matic is a small black attachment that supports a lever. The rings on the attachment and the lever also change color to match the user's ink. Attached to the marker are the handle and trigger.

Splatoon
The Splash-o-matic was released in Splatoon on 2015-06-13 at July 27, 2024.
