==Trivia==
*The Italian name for the stage contains a pun on ''serrato'' (tight, fierce) and ''serra'' (dome).
*If an [[Octoling (enemy)|Octoling]] touches the [[Zapfish]] after the barrier has been destroyed, the level is completed as if the player has touched it. This is because the Octolings are considered the same as [[Inkling]]s by the game. However, due to the logistics of this, it can only be performed during this level, by prematurely destroying the barrier with the [[Inkzooka]] or the [[Splat Bomb]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrVKqi2skNE&feature=youtu.be&t=16m18s {{YT}} ''Splatoon'' by Tones Balones in 52:58 - Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - Part 2]</ref><ref>[https://youtu.be/JxK3ryt3C1s?t=849 {{YT}} ''Splatoon'' Any% Speedrun in 50:13]</ref>

Trivia
The Italian name for the stage contains a pun on serrato (tight, fierce) and serra (dome).
If an Octoling touches the Zapfish after the barrier has been destroyed, the level is completed as if the player has touched it. This is because the Octolings are considered the same as Inklings by the game. However, due to the logistics of this, it can only be performed during this level, by prematurely destroying the barrier with the Inkzooka or the Splat Bomb.[1][2]
