MC.Princess Diaries is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon 2. It was the twenty-fourth and final variation of Shifty Station and appeared in the Chaos vs. Order Splatfest. After the Version update in late July, it will be available in Private Battles, along with all other 23 variations.

Layout
MC.Princess Diaries is a large and open stage, including many curved walls, similar to Blackbelly Skatepark. Notably, the stage features the and hyperbombs as unique features, and Off the Hook are seen performing live.

While playing, groups of hyperbombs appear in three waves, at 2:45, 1:30, and 0:15 remaining. Players can only detonate the other team's bombs. At 1:20, Off the Hook's helicopter flies to the center; with one minute remaining, a pink cylinder appears and Pearl descends, accompanied by the text "It's the voice to end all voices!" As she nears the ground, her head begins to glow, indicating her Special, the Princess Cannon, is ready to be used. Regardless of team or weapon, the first player to meet her gets to use the Princess Cannon. After aiming it with motion or and activating it with, the player moves to the side and Pearl takes over, using her battle cry to fire it. If the player is splatted before the cannon is able to fire, the next player to meet Pearl will get to use the Princess Cannon.

The stage takes place near the fallen NILS Statue, now surrounded with jellyfish that are studying it. Sponges and bunkers can also be found across the stage.
