Regular
Regular Battle modes can be accessed by players of all levels.

Ranked Battle
''Ranked Battle will be able to be accessed by Level 10 players upon its release by Nintendo. The modes included in this category will require a higher level of strategy compared to regular modes, and wins and losses will be counted toward players' ranks. Players begin with a 'C' rating, but are able to improve and regress based on how well they perform. Ranked Battle will be released when a large amount of players have reached Level 10.''
 * Splat Zones: A mode similar to King of the Hill games. WiiU_Splatoon_22_SplatZones_WalleyeWarehouse00.jpg
