Shifty Station

Shifty Station is the title given to a series of multiplayer stages in Splatoon 2. The stages were originally only available during Splatfests and each has a different layout. They will be made playable in Private Battles in Version after the final Splatfest. Only one Shifty Station appeared per Splatfest, with the exception of Chaos vs. Order, where the first 23 layouts will be playable in the first 48 hours, with the last 24 hours having only the final layout playable.

Trivia

 * Marina claims to have helped make the stage herself, which is shown by her symbol appearing on the stage image.
 * As Marina mentions often in the news segments, she was raised around Octarian machinery, which would explain why many of the Shifty Station variants contain at least one of the Octo Valley and Octo Canyon mechanics.
 * This is elaborated on further in the Octo Expansion. In Marina's chat room, Pearl mentions how Marina creates these stages all by herself, while Cap'n Cuttlefish notes the Octarian technology used, such as floating rocks, from Marina's time as a combat engineer for DJ Octavio.
 * Every Shifty Station's name is a reference to a work in some form of media.
 * Shifty Station's name is a reference to the fact that it is not the same every Splatfest.
 * On one of the Stations there is an glitch that allows the player to clip through the wall.
 * The internal code name for this stage in the game files is "Deli".
 * An unused variant of Shifty Station has the file name "Deli04" and the code name "Box".
 * Between the debut of Shifty Station in Mayo vs. Ketchup and the final Shifty Station in Chaos vs. Order, June 2018 was the only month not to introduce a new variation.
 * Pulp vs. No-Pulp used Zappy Longshocking, which first appeared in Japan for the Unknown Creature vs. Advanced Technology Splatfest in April.
 * Hello Kitty vs. My Melody used A Swiftly Tilting Balance, which first appeared in North America, Oceania, and Europe for the Raph vs. Donnie Splatfest.
