Piranha Pit

Piranha Pit is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon. It was announced on December 16, 2015 along with Ancho-V Games and released December 29th at 02:00 UTC.

Description
Piranha Pit is a quarry, featuring many conveyor belts that also serve as ramps. It is surrounded by a large body of water which acts as a hazard to players.

Splat Zones
Piranha Pit has two Splat Zones each located in the open space immediately in front of each Team's spawn point by the central conveyor belt ramps. The only way to get between the zones on ground level is through the small alleys, however from spawn or with the use of the conveyor belt ramps you can take the slightly higher ground and have a little more freedom in how to infiltrate the opposite zone.

Tower Control
The tower is located at the center of the map between the two conveyor belt ramps where a wall would normally be. The conveyor belt will first move towards your team's side before moving through the ground level alley to the enemy's half of the stage. From there the tower will travel to the edge of the middle ground before making a U-turn and reaching its goal.

Rainmaker
The Spawn Point in Rainmaker is moved towards the left next to the tower in front of the team's normal spawn position. The Rainmaker is located at the center of the map between the two conveyor belt ramps where a wall would normally be. The Rainmaker must be taken to a goal on the far opposite side of the map on the small island in the lower ground. The conveyor belts do not function in this mode with the exception of the conveyor belt ramps in the center.

Tips

 * The conveyor belts do not function as one may logically expect; once Ink has reached the end, it simply reappears at the start. This means that Ink on the belt always counts toward the final score no matter what.
 * Inkstrike doesn't cover on the conveyor belts unless the player who uses Inkstrike touches the conveyor belt on the game pad making the target area includes the whole conveyor belt.

Trivia

 * The machine in the distance is a bucket-wheel excavator, used for continuous digging in large-scale open-pit mining.
