Stage


 * Not to be confused with Octo Valley missions, Octo Canyon missions, Octo Expansion stations, Return of the Mammalians missions, Salmon Run stages or Salmon Run Next Wave stages.

Stages are arenas where battles take place in the SS undefined' multiplayer modes.

Each stage has its own unique scenery and layout. Some stages feature mechanics that were introduced in the single-player modes.

Splatoon 2
Splatoon 2 has all-new stages with some returning stages as well.

Stage data
By analyzing the percentages given out by Judd at the end of a match, it is possible to know what a level's inkable surface area is. For instance, at the end of a match, if one team gets 400 Battle Points and the other gets 600 (for a total of 1000 points of turf inked), and the percentages for each are 33.3% and 50%, respectively, that means the stage's total possible turf area is 1200 points (400 * (1 / 0.333) = 600 * (1 / 0.5) = 1200).

However, since the display is rounded down, the result may sometimes be ambiguous and multiple results need to be intersected to reach the exact number. For example, for 600p and 50%, any total in the range 1198-1200p would result in 50.0% when rounding down to 0.1% - but if another result was collected showing that 751p is 62.5% (possible totals: 1200-1201p), the only possible value that satisfies both is exactly 1200p. Calculating using the total (in the example above, (400 + 600) * (1 / (0.333 + 0.5)) ) should be avoided, as it doubles the margin of error and could give even less accurate results.

Splatoon 3 Tricolor Turf War stages

 * * For the Grass vs. Fire vs. Water Splatfest, Sturgeon Shipyard's Tricolor Turf War layout was changed, altering the total paintable area. The number shown represents its layout during Rock vs. Paper vs. Scissors.
