Super Chump

The Super Chump is a special weapon in . It launches destructible decoys that Super Jump to a specified area and explode a short time after landing.

Appearance
When a player activates the Super Chump special, they pull out a cannon mostly transparent and colored in the player's ink color. The decoys the cannon shoots are colored with the player's ink color, along with having confetti and a face which consists of two black dots which resemble eyes and a heart shape that resembles a mouth. When the decoys are about to explode, they give off bright flashes and expand, much like Suction Bombs.

Splatoon 3
When activated, the user will begin aiming the cannon using a targeting oval. If the center of the oval is out-of-bounds, or the user is not on the ground, a "Can't Use!" warning will appear. Once a landing zone is set with, the cannon will launch 12 decoys in a random spread within the oval, displaying their landing sites as Super Jump markers showing the names of players on the team that launched them. Once landed, the decoys explode after a short period of time, but they can be destroyed by enemy fire or crushed by moving terrain. The user cannot charge the special gauge again until the gauge has fully depleted.

Wearing Special Power Up with Super Chump increases the explosion radius of the decoys.

Etymology
