Splat-Switch



"A Splat Switch! Haven't seen one of those in a while."

- Agent 1

Splat-Switches are square switches found on platforms in Octo Valley, Octo Canyon, Shifty Station, and Deepsea Metro. To activate it, the player must cover about 70% of the switch with their color. When activated, the switch causes a platform to shift or rotate, allowing Agent 3, Agent 4 or Agent 8 to progress in a mission. In Shifty Station, one of two things can happen when a Splat-Switch is activated depending on which team activated it.

In, new types of Splat-Switches were introduced: The former two are exclusive to the Octo Expansion, but A/B switches also appear in some Shifty Stations.
 * A temporary switch that is only on for a limited time, denoted by having three arrows on each side of the switch as opposed to one
 * An A/B switch that can be turned off by enemy ink, denoted by two pairs of lights on either side of the switch
 * Smaller versions of basic and temporary switches

Trivia

 * A glitch exists where a player can partially ink the switch and then pause the game. When the player resumes, the switch will automatically activate.
