S-BLAST '92

The S-BLAST '92 is a main weapon in.

Appearance
The S-BLAST '92 bears a very strong resemblance to the original North American Super Scope, an accessory for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, which was released in 1992. The body consists of a wide barrel, with the back and most of the top being light gray, while the front and bottom side are dark gray, as well as a vermilion tip at the end, with a dark-gray scope mounted in the middle and a sight at the end of the barrel. The body is connected to a dark-gray handle with an off-black trigger in the middle and a dark-gray shoulder mount on the back. A decal with the words "SUPER SCOPE" is printed on one side, and, like the decals on the N-ZAP, it appears to be in English rather than the Inkling language.

Splatoon 3
The S-BLAST '92 was revealed on 2023-05-16 in the Sizzle Season 2023 trailer. While in midair, the S-BLAST '92 shoots only half as far as it normally would on ground, with a much larger blast radius. This range is the same as that of the Luna Blaster, while the grounded shot has the same range as that of the Range Blaster, with the smallest blast radius of any blaster. On 2023-05-17, Nintendo uploaded a dedicated Twitter post showcasing gameplay from the S-BLAST '92, confirming the weapon's kit to be Sprinkler and Reefslider.

 * The S-BLAST '92 makes a noise when it switches to its short-range mode when jumping.
 * The S-BLAST '92, along with the Splattershot Nova, Big Swig Roller, Snipewriter 5H, Painbrush, Dread Wringer, and Heavy Edit Splatling, is not included in Return of the Mammalians due to being added post-release.
