Shifty Station

Shifty Station is the title given to a series of multiplayer stages in Splatoon 2. The stages were originally only available during Splatfests and each has a different layout. They will be made playable in Private Battles in Version after the final Splatfest. Only one Shifty Station appeared per Splatfest, with the exception of Chaos vs. Order, where the first 23 layouts will be playable in the first 48 hours, with the last 24 hours having only the final layout playable.

Trivia

 * Marina claims to have helped make the stage herself, which is shown by her symbol appearing on the stage image.
 * Every Shifty Station's name is a reference to a work in some form of media.
 * As Marina mentions often in the news segments, she was raised around Octarian machinery, which would explain why many of the Shifty Station variants contain at least one of the Octo Valley and Octo Canyon mechanics.
 * This is elaborated on further in the Octo Expansion. In Marina's chat room, Pearl mentions how Marina creates these stages all by herself, while Cap'n Cuttlefish notes the Octarian technology used, such as floating rocks, from Marina's time as a combat engineer for DJ Octavio.
 * The stage seems to be set somewhere in one of Octo Canyon's domes or the Deepsea Metro, as can be deduced by the decorations scattered throughout the stage types as well as the floating objects in the background.
 * Not all Shifty Stations actually shift. Goosponge, Cannon Fire Pearl, Grapplink Girl, The Bouncey Twins, Railway Chillin', Gusher Towns, The Maze Dasher, Flooders in the Attic, The Splat in our Zones, and The Chronicles of Rolonium are static, while Zappy Longshocking, A Swiftly Tilting Balance, Sweet Valley Tentacles, The Switches, and Bridge to Tentaswitchia only move when interacted with.
 * On one of the Stations there is a glitch that allows the player to clip through the wall.
 * The internal code name for this stage in the game files is "Deli".
 * Sweet Valley Tentacles, The Bouncey Twins, and Railway Chillin' were found in the game's data after the release of Version . Sweet Valley Tentacles was the only complete layout that also had the stage model present.
 * The same data miners later published a complete list of the Shifty Station layout code names (as of ):
