Barnacle & Dime

The Barnacle & Dime is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon 3. It is located inside a supercenter mall. It is also one of the stages that can have Tricolor Turf Wars.

Ranked Battle Terrain
In Ranked Battles, specifications for the terrain or placement of objects are different between the modes; these changes create new paths or new objects to take cover behind.

Splat Zones
The Splat Zone is located in the center of the stage. The stage is unchanged.

Tower Control
The Tower starts in the center of the stage, replacing the blocks normally there. From there, it goes left onto the raised area and then straight before turning left again onto the opponents raised area then straight to the goal. The raised areas on the right of the spawn has been shrunken, only going halfway as far. An Inkrail has been added there.

Rainmaker
The Rainmaker is located on the stack of blocks. The checkpoint is located behind the raised area in the middle, before entering the opponent's base. The stage is most similar to the Tower Control layout, except for more cover being added in spawn and an uninkable staircase allowing another way to the pedestal.

Clam Blitz
The Clam Basket is located on each team's pit with a bump being added. The layout is similar to the Rainmaker layout but the uninkable staircase has been removed.

Splatoon 3
The Barnacle & Dime debuts in Splatoon 3 as part of the Sizzle Season 2023.
