Super Mushroom vs. Super Star featured four Shifty Station layouts that rotate each rotation, with dynamic gimmicks: Cannon Fire Pearl, The Bunker Games, The Bouncey Twins and The Chronicles of Rolonium.

Continuing from Trick vs. Treat (2020), the increased 100× Battle rates that were originally advertised for Chaos vs. Order were still in effect for this Splatfest.

Trivia

 * This is the first Splatfest with an original theme since Chaos vs. Order - the event that was officially dubbed as the final one. This was referenced by Marina in the announcement dialogue.
 * Each Shifty Station available in this Splatfest has some sort of mechanic equivalent to Mario mechanics. Ink Cannons are similar to cannons on airship courses, containment chambers are similar to one-time bonus rooms, Bounce Pads are similar to trampolines, and Rolonium is similar to Koopa Troopa shells that Mario can kick.
