The Mini Zapfish are ordered here in terms of accessibility from the spawn and from other Mini Zapfishes.

Mini Zapfish 1
Guarded by an Octoling right in front of the player's spawn, below the tree.

Mini Zapfish 2
Turn left at the tree near the player's spawn, and defeat the two Octolings in the way. The Mini Zapfish is guarded by the second Octoling, with the bridge and splash walls near it.

Mini Zapfish 3
Turn left at the armor near spawn and break the crates to find an Octoling guarding the Mini Zapfish. Alternatively, take a left turn at Mini Zapfish 2 or take a left turn at the wall behind Mini Zapfish 2 and use the sponge to reach Mini Zapfish 3.

Mini Zapfish 4
From Mini Zapfish 2, go straight and drop off the ledge to reach Mini Zapfish 4. An Octoling will super jump nearby the player while they approach the Mini Zapfish.

Mini Zapfish 5
From Mini Zapfish 1, drop off the ledge and go straight to reach Mini Zapfish 5. Alternatively, take the elevated path on the right side of the map or drop off the bridge on the right side in the middle of the map.

Mini Zapfish 6
From Mini Zapfish 5, ink and climb up the sponge ahead to find Mini Zapfish 6, an Octoling guarding it, and a crate containing a canned Splat Bomb Rush.

Mini Zapfish 7
From the bridge to the right is an elevated block with a ramp leading up to it to its left. Sitting on top is the Mini Zapfish and an Octoling guarding it.

Mini Zapfish 8
The Mini Zapfish is located right in front of the enemy spawn, on the platform behind and above the tree. An Octoling sits near the tree, and an Elite Octoling waits at the spawn, both will approach you when you get close. Players may take the vertical dash panel next to the ramp of Mini Zapfish 7, along the path on the left side of the map from Mini Zapfish 2, or bust through the crates near Mini Zapfish 6.
