Reefslider

The Reefslider is a special weapon in. It summons a ridden inflatable pool toy that quickly travels forward, splatting opponents on impact, and explodes, either when the user stops it or when its maximum distance is reached.

Appearance
The Reefslider is similar in appearance to an inflatable pool toy, with the overall design of a shark. The shark has a muzzle on its face, while soda bottles are attached to the base of the tail.

When activated, a straight path that appears resembles a pair of jetski buoy barriers.

Splatoon 3
When activated, the user pulls out an inflatable toy shark and a straight path appears in the same direction as the camera is facing. The user then rides the toy shark, rushing across the straight path, splatting opponents upon contact. At the end of the path, the toy shark stops in place and lets out a blast of ink, splatting opponents in its radius. The explosion can also be triggered prematurely by colliding with the terrain or pressing. The Reefslider can pass through a Splattercolor Screen without any effects at all.

This special is one of the nine available specials in Salmon Run Next Wave.

It appears in four Return of the Mammalians missions:


 * After Alterna
 * Doors, Doors, Doors! And More! (Doors)
 * Ink Wheels—Experience Tomorrow's Technology Today!
 * Alterna Space Center Hangar

Special Power Up
Equipping Special Power Up with Reefslider increases its explosion radius.

Badges
Wining a certain number of battles with the Reefslider will reward the player with special badges that they can use on their Splashtag.

Trivia

 * The ending animation of the special may reference the iconic motorcycle slide in the 1988 anime film Akira.
 * Unlike most weapons with a visible path of travel, the Reefslider cannot be aimed before firing; it is immediately fired in the direction of the camera upon pressing . Additionally, both the path and the explosion radius can be seen by other players.
