Upcoming or ongoing Splatfests
Is there really a need for the "Upcoming or ongoing Splatfests" section? I doubt people go to this page for that information. A simple link to Main Page/Splatfest should be sufficient, right? Heddy (talk) 17:03, 31 March 2019 (UTC)


 * does anyone know when the next splatfest is? I think its either next month or the month after 02:07, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Should we add the other 2 unannounced themes to 'Upcoming or Ongoing Splatfests'?
I've added the upcoming Chicken vs. Egg rerun to it, but Nintendo also announced there'd be another two Splatfests before the end of the fiscal year/March 2021. Should we add these, and if so, how should we add them? AriIsADumb (talk) 15:01, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Only seeing this now but I added a sentence about it earlier. Thanks! Inkling luke.png Inkling talk.png 22:06, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Super Mario 35th Anniversary Splatfest!

"Which Power-Up would you prefer?" Super Mushroom vs. Super Star!

It is coming in January, so HAD TO TELL OF THE AWESOMENESS THAT AWAITS! Let's a' GO! 🍄 P.J. GT (talk) 13:53, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Oh!!! Wow!!!!, I can't Wait!!!!!!!!!, and it's a new theme!!!, do you know if this Splatfest it's gonna count?, I don't know what I vote, I CANT WITH THIS!! Splatoon635 (talk) 15:14, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Hey, I have a question that can be rare but, if the theme is new, Can be the possibility that comes a new Shifty Station variation??, and can the Splatfest colors come to the private battles? Splatoon635 (talk) 17:03, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Corrections regarding Splatoon 3
Under the "10x, 100×, and 333x Battles" heading, it says that festival shells can be spent at the Shell-Out Machine, which is wrong; instead, conch shells, which are obtained when your Catalog Level increases during the Sneak Peek, can. Festival shells only boost your chance of entering a 100× battle. Mentioning this here since the article is protected, so I can't edit it myself

Wrong Picture on Splatoon 3 Section
Hi!, Splatoon635 here, when I was checking the Splatfest article I noticed an Inkopolis Plaza (Splatoon 1) picture on the Splatoon 3 Splatfest Info section. Personally, I think it's better to change it to the Splatoon 1 section and add a Splatsville picture instead, Thanks! Splat635 03:26, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It's actually under the Preparations section.--MissDelibirda (talk) 10:42, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Recording Super Sea Snails gains for Splatfest
Trying to write down if getting a lot of plus after Ruler will give you more snails.

I got Gear Ruler +1 and got 24 snails. Seems like it's the old system of winner ruler being 24 snails, and getting pluses don't give extra?

After we confirm this, might want to write it down on the Wiki. Akira Chisaka (talk) 03:21, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I too did not get any extras. I finished with Grub Ruler +2 and got 21 snails. Alt (talk) 13:13, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was Fun Ruler +6 and got 21 Snails as well.  14:21, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * There is no addition for higher Titles. Grub Ruler +23 and still 24 Super Sea Snails gained. 14:33, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

new splatfest announcement

apologies if this isn't the proper page for this, i just haven't seen mention of this yet. RaizePrime (talk) 13:26, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * im not sure if we can add it set since we still dont have the proper english names for the teams, i know japan has the team names since the SplatoonJP twitter account posted it with the "select your team" image that shows on deep cuts tv.

Splatoon 3 Splatfests
Splatfest themes in Splatoon 3 are shared between all regions. Should there be four tables? WUTAdam (talk) 04:27, 12 November 2022 (UTC)


 * There is a possibility that we might get region specific fests in the future.
 * There was a talk about this once on the discord and we "settled" with waiting for around one more Splatfest and go from there. 07:42, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Should the merge go through now? I know the possibility of future region-specific fests is still on the table, but we can probably assume the majority will be worldwide. Lucs100 (talk) 17:26, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * which region would we even use the results of if we merged it? cuz they werent the same in every region, for example, scissors cam second in the hong kong and south korea region, but everywhere else it was paper
 * Adalent (talk) 20:59, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Are you sure? Because that's not what it says in the current table. Oh, wait, second place? These tables don't indicate second place, so that's not an issue; they only indicate the ultimate winner and the leader at halftime. And that was the only splatfest divided into regions, since then they've all been worldwide. It's been long enough, I'm merging them. OatmealRaijin (talk) 12:56, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Wait, no I'm not since the page is apparently protected. But someone should. It's been more than long enough and having four identical tables is ridiculous. OatmealRaijin (talk) 13:00, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Spicy Vs Sweet Vs Sour
So the Spicy Vs Sweet Vs Sour splatfest just ended, & they didn't announce the winner on the splatcast. Can someone please explain why this is happening? Octoknight (talk) 00:12, 9 January 2023 (UTC)


 * The Splatfest results aren't announced right away. They normally are announced two hours after the Splatfest ends.  00:21, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * its gets announced at the start of the next rotation, always been this way Adalent (talk) 01:01, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Viewing x10 x100 and x333 winners from splatoon 3 pledge box
I've looked for how you can view multiplier battle winners but can't find how. could some one tell me how and maybe include some photos in the gallery? Mrawesome1010 (talk) 04:40, 30 January 2023 (UTC)


 * @Mrawesome1010, I believe you can go to the pledge box immediately after winning the said multiplier match and scroll left/right while inside. -Xando (ping) 12:34, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Typing error
Hi so I have noticed on the part of splatfest where it says 4v2v2 it's put as 4v2x2 so maybe someone can fix that if possible no rush not trying to hurt anyone here Shiver101 (talk) 04:35, 4 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Done, Good eye! Brycerw11 (talk) 04:38, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, this might not have been a typing error, it might be referring to the fact that if one team of two teams wins the other wins too; however, I am not sure about it and I believe that 4v2v2 is easier to understand, so I am going to leave my current edit as is, (4v2v2) but we might want to consider changing it back to 4v2x2. Brycerw11 (talk) 04:45, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * It does seem to say "4v2x2" on the Tricolor Turf War Page.  04:50, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

When is the dialogue for Deep Cut's splatfests going to be added?
When I look at Splatoon and Splatoon 2, there is dialogue for when the splatfests are announced, when winners are announced, etc etc. But for Splatoon 3, theres just real life quotes about the new splatfests, nothing about the in game dialogue. Randomnamehere (talk) 16:13, 8 February 2023 (UTC)


 * If we decide to add the DC quotes, I have their dialogue for announcement of the upcoming fest.  16:18, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Someone already took action to add quotes for some specific splatfests, so I added quotes for the rest of the splatfests. There's no need. We just need a template so the dialogue looks like the it does for the splatfests in the other games; and we need translations... only English is here, we need Portuguese, Korean, Czech, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Italian, German, French, Dutch and Japanese. It would be nice if some Portuguese, Chinese, Spanish etc players prioritized the translations./npa  18:41, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Korean meanings
I was going to add the missing korean meanings, but it said the page was protected from edits. Can someone higher than me do it or give me access? Lofiguy (talk) 14:21, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
