The Bunker Games

The Bunker Games is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon 2. It was the eighth variation of Shifty Station, and first appeared in the Hana vs. Dango and Chicken vs. Egg Splatfests. It returned in the Chaos vs. Order, Chicken vs. Egg (2020), and Super Mushroom vs. Super Star Splatfests. As of version, it is exclusively available in Private Battles. It features large containment domes which gradually close off portions of the stage.

Layout
The Bunker Games contains a large center area with a glass dome suspended above it. There are also two glass boxes on each side of the stage. These three serve as containment chambers.

When the remaining match time is 1:50, a warning appears saying the side areas are about to seal off. At 1:40, the boxes descend to seal off the side areas, preventing access to them for the remainder of the match, finally closing entirely at 1:30. Two platforms at the large center area also descend to ground level, making more room for combat and inkable turf. At 0:55, another message appears, warning the center area is about to close. At 0:50, the central dome starts descending and by 0:45 it seals off the center area, finally closing entirely at 0:40. Shortly after descending, a launchpad appears in the secluded areas, to allow players to get out, only if players from one team remain in those areas, with the color of the launchpad matching that team.

Players can Super Jump to the secluded areas if a teammate or a Squid Beakon is inside. The Tenta Missiles and Sting Ray can penetrate the glass barriers, but not the Ink Storm.
