Weapons in Splatoon 3
I don't know how to edit navboxes (or whatever they're called), but can someone please add the Inkzooka to the Special Weapon Category in the Weapons in Splatoon 3 navbox? BambamOh (talk) 02:27, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Unless there was a tweet or announcement I didn't see, which there could well have been so please link it if so, that weapon shown in the trailer was not confirmed to be the Inkzooka. Luke26 (talk) 11:15, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Speaking of weapons, It was confirmed that Splat bombs are in Splatoon 3! I took a screenshot, but I think It'd be easier if I just linked a video of someone pointing it out. I'll link a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWR8uL-6fd0o. Go to the 6:00 timestamp, titled Sub Weapons, and watch from there. And, if you go back to the 5:13 timestamp titled Ink Bow, watch from there, and pay close attention to the inkling wielding it, you'll see that the inkling that wields the new bow and arrow weapon seems to be the one using the sub weapon, giving us a potential early kit for the bow and arrow; The bow itself, the Splat bomb, and the Inkzooka-looking special weapon! Hope these findings help us out!WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 19:08, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Also, since we confirmed that splat bombs are in Splatoon 3, can someone edit the box that lists all the weapons in the game and put a sub weapon section, and add the splat bomb into it? I dunno how... WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 01:56, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I've added Splat Bomb to the Navbox for Splatoon 3 -- 14:39, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 15:55, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Can we also do this for the weapons revealed in the trailer? Timewip2020 (talk) 03:43, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

They've already been added in the navbox. If you're talking about the page where all of the weapons are listed, then don't worry, people are currently working on that. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 19:19, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Project Splatoon 3
Has anybody noticed that several of the new weapons, namely the bow and arrow weapon and the new Splattershot, seem very similar to some of the weapon concepts in the fanmade Project Splatoon 3? 16:31, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, but hasnt literly EVERYONE wanted a bow class? Squid400 (talk) 16:46, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * There are so many ideas in that fan art that there was bound to be some overlap with Nintendo's ideas. I think the designs actually look very different, so different that it's possible Nintendo came up with the idea without being influenced by that project. Heddy (talk) 02:13, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I don't mean to insult squeaky's Project Splatoon 3, because it still is really fresh (if I may), but Once I saw the wasteland-looking terrain and that upside-down Eiffel tower and THE LIL BUDDY, I knew that we had just struck the gold of Nintendo's mines, and I threw all my OC characters for squeaky's Splatoon 3 out the window. Splatoon 3 hype! WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 14:05, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Gallery
Should i make a gallery for Splatoon 3? THANKS XD CANT WAIT.Squid400 (talk) 17:00, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * A gallery in already in the article. Heddy (talk) 02:14, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

So I'm going to put a screenshot of the Splatoon 3 trailer on the Inkipedia that I cropped. I wanted to know if that was legal before i do it, though. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 19:15, 22 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Of course it's legal. Almost every image that we have of comes from the trailer.  19:25, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

original octo styles
I found a tiny clip in the S3 trailer of the two original octoling hairstyles.(tentacurl and punk) -Pinezapple(talk) 21:31, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The boy is slightly different form the S2 one-- 11:02, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Yes I noticed that after i put the pic up here by watching a video online that had better quality video, but I still think thats tentacurl.-Pinezapple(talk) 19:06, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * That is Tentacurl, and also, this vid shows that other hairstyles, such as Banger and Pigtail, are shown in the trailer, so (maybe?) we should probably add screenshots to the gallery. dedf1sh07 (talk) 02:50, 20 February 2021 (UTC)


 * All hairstyles shown in the trailer are already in the gallery. 13:53, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Actually, I think that the hairstyle that the octoling with the range blaster had is a new one. I don't think it's the punk. We should probably remove that from the gallery until we confirm what the hairstyle is actually called. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 14:21, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

So I found the punk in a separate pic of splatsville. The octoling wearing the annaki yellow cuff on the left side of the has the punk hairstyle, so I added the punk back to the customization section. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 15:50, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Ammo Knights
In the trailer, just before it says 'Splatoon 3', on the bottom left, there is an ammo knights logo. I dont have a screenshot or picture, but what should be put in! I dont think we could confirm it because it could be graffiti. What should I do? Toni Kensa (talk) 23:04, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
 * We need to wait for confirmation that Ammo Knights is in Splatoon 3 before adding that info to the article. Heddy (talk) 02:08, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Spawn point
Looking at this image, the ground spawn point in present, but covered in a tarp. This suggests that it will only be available in some modes, but we need solid evidence before we can add this info to the article. Heddy (talk) 07:25, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

That’s good I didn’t catch that, but anyway you are right but I don’t know if it’s gonna be in other maps. It might, but I doubt it.  OctoKing   [TALK]   16:30, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Tenta Missiles
In this video, it shows Tenta Missile-like projectiles. We should probably add a picture to the gallery, but since I don't really know how to properly do it, can someone else do it? BambamOh (talk) 19:02, 19 February 2021 (UTC) (Sorry I forgot to put my Signature)

Nonbinary flag colors
Should we include, under Trivia, the fact that the main promotional colors are the same as the nonbinary flag? (sorry for english) Awildmusk (talk) 18:28, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Just looked at that, you are correct. im not sure about white and black appearing in the game, but yellow and purple are. Ask an admin about that. Squid400 (talk) 18:36, 19 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Actually my theory for the ink colors being the way they are (and I came up with this theory even before the 3 trailer came out) is that the final fest colors for splatoon 1 were pink vs green and then the promo colors for 2 were pink and green. I figured that splatoon 3’s promo colors would be a modified chaos vs order colors and they are. This may be just coincidental but it’s my theory anyways. -Pinezapple(talk) 06:19, 20 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Even one proud NB didnt notice that!-- 09:57, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

I just hope that there are no sexist characters in S3 due to the series being kid-friendly, and the promo colors being altered versions of Chaos vs. Order's due to S3's theme being centered around chaos. Even though hair and leggings are no longer sorted by gender, I'll still get the game anyway. There may be some boy hairstyles that can look good on girls and vice versa. Just to point out that "don't judge a book by its cover", Nintendo games are aimed at younger audiences, so they are making sure to avoid adding in inappropriate content (sexual, racist, curse words and gestures), but social media communities come up with incredibly vile fan theories from what they see, which pisses me off. I also hope we can change our avatar's species and gender if we want to like in the past games. Just sharing my thoughts. P.J. GT (talk) 17:54, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

I agree. I mean, I love a good theory, but those crazy internet people man, they can turn something totally innocent and kid friendly into something weird and eViL. I hope Nintendo doesn’t take things too far...-Pinezapple(talk) 20:18, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Our community in particular are just TOXIC! Coroika on fandom is the worst place ever. It's a free for all. I hate that sense of no matter what I do, it's worth nothing and I got threats left right and center 09:04, 21 February 2021 (UTC) ps for goodness sake! Emperor x prinz is a ship Why?! There is only one game more toxic (Fortnite)

About what we were talking about on the ink colors for Splatoon 3, I was thinking that the ink colors for the game are what they are because Purple and yellow are the inverse of each other, like pink and neon green are the inverse of each other, and orange and blue are, too. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 13:53, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Yeah,I actuality speculated that those would be the main colors of splatoon 3 because they were the last set of complementary colors and not anything more than that.Fancy squid&#60;:&#61; (talk) 15:43, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Possibility of apartments?
So, a lot of people have been talking about the possibility of apartments being added in Splatoon 3, and I think that it may be a possibility, too. Maybe the apartments are a place where you can interact with the lil buddy! Just wanted to address that. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 14:17, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry but we actually have a policy on Rumors and leaks, if it is popular amongst the public and you provide sources of demand.-- 19:15, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Sorry! I didn't know that, but I'll keep that in mind in the future. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 00:08, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Splattershot Kit
I've found the special weapon for the newly-designed Splattershot. The trailer shows that after the player fires the Inkzooka, they pull out the Splattershot. 02:22, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

we nead a new picture
I was thinking of the picture of the squid sisters in front of the Eiffel tower and also what colours you can have might be a good list


 * I'm not sure if that picture should go here because this is about Splatoon 3, but the Eiffel Tower is shown in the picture. I think good pictures might be the more close up pictures of the weapons (The hydra splatling, the new splattershot, the E-liter, and the Gal), but they would be from the trailer instead of from twitter, if that is ok. I'm not sure what you mean by colors, and if you mean ink colors, I'm pretty sure that yellow and purple are the only colors that have been shown so far (in battle) unless I missed other colors. CherryAudino75 (talk) 14:18, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Adding a s3 navbox to the blaster page
As we saw from some promotional images, the blaster has been confirmed to be in. Can someone add a navbox to the Blaster page? WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 14:20, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It is already there. 17:40, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Not the range blaster. I'm talking about the blaster. Not the range blaster. You can clearly see it in the promotional images. Sorry, should've been more specific. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 19:12, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The navbox for the Blaster is there as well. 20:30, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

2 Less Limbs?
I just saw during GG Gabriel Gaming's video about the "trailer analysis" that the Inkling in Splatsville has only two tentacles from the back, instead of four. Either they used two more tentacles for the braid or Inklings now have 8 limbs, like Octolings. 17:52, 5 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I’m pretty sure this is because it takes 3 strings to make a braid, so they would need to use 3 tentacles. So 3 in the braid, 1 in the front, and 2 in the back, is still 6 tentacles.-Pinezapple(talk) 18:14, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Range Blaster's range
Right after the Range Blaster performs a Squid Surge, and right when the camera angle spins around, the Range Blaster fires their weapon at the Bow, who is a little far. The range of the Range Blaster in the Splatoon 3 trailer seems irregular, as it the same painting range as an Aerospray MG. 18:33, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Note that the game is still in development, so it's likely that what you're talking about was just a kink that they're fixing. If we get more gameplay showing what you saw, then it might be a good idea to list that out, but for now, I'd let it go. I don't mean to sound bossy or rude, just stating what I think. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 19:25, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Later in the trailer you see a regular blaster with the range of a range blaster, pretty sure they just changed some parameters to make the trailer look more interesting, swim speed seems to be slower on all weapons too NZZN (talk) 19:28, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

While that is a possibility, I don't think that was what Nintendo was going for, due to the sheer amount of hype people had for this game. I mean, Nintendo probably knew that everyone would be either freaking out, poggin', or fainted. While I mostly meant for that last bit to be a joke, it's also kinda true. People would've been to excited to notice. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 19:33, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Splatoon 3 Range Blaster/(?)Blaster Changes
So in Vicvillion Splatoon 3 Trailer analysis at 14:55 ( Here ) she noticed that the Blaster shot pieces through the Octoling getting shot? Should that be added to the Range Blaster page? Also, maybe instead we should probably make a Trailer Notices section in Splatoon 3 for things like this, just in case this is wrong. Timewip2020 (talk) 04:44, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * @Timewip2020 We should not add it to the Range Blaster because it is not confirmed, and it might just be a misconception. We need more evidence, such as a tweet from Nintendo, if you want to add that feature to the Range Blaster page. 06:38, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Gear in S3
Now that we've confirmed some weapons and new abilities, next we need to move onto the gear. From the trailer, I was able to spot some returning gear, such as the golf visor, Fugu bell hat, Studio headphones, fake contacts (possibly), B-Ball jersey (home), Camo layered LS, Camo zip hoodie, Dakro Golden tee (possibly), swim goggles, N-pacer sweat, Baby jelly shirt and tie, Full moon glasses, SV925 circle shades, Gold hi-horses (possibly), and the short beanie. I got most of this from the shot of the hub, and some of these are assumptions (marked with "possibly") based on the details and glimpses I was able to catch. I'm fairly confident that everything that I just mentioned is what I claimed it to be, except for ones marked with "possibly". Hope this helps us out in the future. WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 19:59, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks to Timewip2020, BambamOh, Eminence, and anyone else who helped out with the gear in S3 project! WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 13:04, 12 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Added the Annaki Mask, Annaki Yellow Cuff, Rina Squidkid VI, and the Safari Hat, and the Tea Green Hunting Boots. Timewip2020 (talk) 20:57, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Squid Squad is back???
One new detail that I found is that there is a sticker in Splatsville that contains the Squid Squad logo! I'll add it to Trivia, just in case Squid Squad is actually back. I'll also add an image as proof. Timewip2020 (talk) 23:39, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
 * That may be true, and also please don't use references as links. Instead, use the option next to the picture and signature options on the top left.

New Weapons unshowcased in the Splatsville Ammo Knights Store
So after analyzing the trailer for the 50th time, I think I might have discovered a new bow/sub weapon? I'll upload some images as proof. Timewip2020 (talk) 19:03, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

So here, at first I thought those were Dapple Dualies, but no that looks like a weapon shaped like a bow. Then I found this arrow-looking weapon of some kind and it semi-matched with the arrow in the bow image above. Timewip2020 (talk) 19:14, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

You may wanna edit the pic a little bit. Even when I zoom in and turn my brightness up all the way, it's still barely visible. I can see it, yes, and these are some pretty good findings, but ya mind upping the saturation a little bit? WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 19:16, 12 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I'll try downloading it in 4k and see what I can get. Timewip2020 (talk) 19:18, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Alas, I couldn't make a 4k reference sheet due to my computer not being up to date. I'll try to upload some other things I've found such as: An Anchor weapon/sub/special (PINK), a Yellow Bat/Leafblower splatling of some kind (YELLOW) , The new Mini-Suction Bow (GRAY), and some suction bombs attached to some hair dryer (?) of some kind (WHITE). Timewip2020 (talk) 19:56, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Timewip2020 (talk) 20:05, 12 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, the anchor weapon is very similar to the Anchor weapon in the fanmade Project Splatoon 3. 20:08, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Honestly if this is a new weapon type, I'm forgetting the bow, Day 1. Timewip2020 (talk) 20:13, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

I thought at first that (GRAY) looked more like a redesigned inkbrush

Is it just me, or do the weapons in the yellow box look kinda like the vortex buffer from squeaky's splatoon 3 project? WoomyMcBoomy (talk) 21:06, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Rumor from CoroCoro Magazine
Does anybody know the CoroCoro magazine rumor about Splatoon 3 ? The one that rumored have the Daft Punk Airlines poster on it ? Samurottlover (talk) 03:20, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

I do I've also seen the translations for the other pages of the promotion and they don't have any new info. 12:17, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

So y'know how the inklings and the octolings's battle start poses vary
I was lookin' at pics of the spawner drones, and I saw that the octoling holding the range blaster has a different battle start pose than the other shooter weapons that we see. Does this mean that the blaster, including other secondary weapon categories, may become a different weapon type in splatoon 3? 13:12, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Possibly. Or, maybe we’ll get to customize our entrance?-Pinezapple(talk) 15:54, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Third-person shooter?
Hello, I noticed that under Genre we have Third-person Shooter. We haven’t seen any gameplay yet so is it safe to assume? (I personally think it will be, but, I’m just bringing it up.) 15:38, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The trailer showed that jump into the stage in 3rd person, so the game is indeed 3rd person. Timewip2020 (talk) 17:14, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
