Trivia

 * This challenge was accidentally leaked a few days before the Drizzle Season 2023 announcement trailer from a now-deleted tweet by the SplatoonNA Twitter account. It announced a challenge featuring Sheldon's modified Rainmaker design. On 18 August 2023, SplatoonNA acknowledged the mistake by saying, "Our SRL intern previously mixed up the theme among their excitement for Drizzle Season, but we can now confirm the next Challenge starts tomorrow!".
