The Splat Roller is a main weapon in the Splatoon series.
The Splat Roller is a large paint roller. It covers turf while the player pushes it and can be used as a melee weapon. After pressing , it flings ink at a short range. If the player continues to hold down , the Splat Roller touches the ground and can leave a wide trail of ink identical to the player's movements for as long as the player holds . Enemies who come into direct contact with the roller while it is being pushed are splatted instantly. At close range, well-aimed fling attacks will splat opponents with one hit.
Appearance
The Splat Roller is reminiscent of a paint roller commonly used to paint walls. The frame of the weapon is mostly dark green with the handle grips being yellow-green, along with the joint that connects the top part of the roller to the rest of the frame. There is a small ink tank located in the middle of the frame, connected to the frame via a yellow-green strap with the frame going behind the ink tank. The roller cover is connected to the frame by the right side. In Splatoon 2, the appearance changes slightly, with the frame now being purple and the handle grips being black, along with the ink tank which is now on the left side of the weapon. In Splatoon 3, the appearance continues to remain laregly unchanged, with the frame being black, and the ink tank being connected to the frame via a wavy yellow strap.

“ | This weapon here is the Splat Roller. Its ability to ink the ground while on the move sometimes classifies it as a melee weapon, but you can also swing it to fling ink, making it effective at medium range too! It’s all about knowing when to roll and when to fling! | ” |

The Splat Roller returns in Splatoon 2 with a new visual design and a new vertical swing mechanic. When flicked while jumping, ink travels in a vertical line rather than a horizontal splash, and it travels much farther than a grounded flick. It comes with Curling Bombs and Splashdown.
It appears in seven Octo Expansion stations:
- A02 Far-Out Station
- E05 Hypercolor Station
- E11 Bodacious Rotation Station
- G04B10 Ink 'n' Slide Station
- I04 Can't Touch This Station
- J03D08 Girl Power Station (Canned)

Sheldon's Introduction
The Splat Roller represents the roller class of weapons that excel at close combat and inking turf. Tap to fling ink at foes, or hold it down to ink the ground as you run. Bounce a Curling Bomb off a wall to cut off your opponent's route, get right up on them, aaaaaaand SPLAT! Paired with the Splashdown, I'm pretty sure you'll have no trouble splatting multiple opponents at once! If you want to experience the basics of the new generation of rollers, look no further. |
“ | The perfect weapon for getting up close and personal. Press while on the ground to fling a wide volley of ink or press while in midair to fling a narrower, concentrated volley of ink. | ” |

Quotes
“ | Let's take a look at the Splat Roller. This is an easy-handling roller that's a great introduction to the "rolling life." But make no mistake - it's plenty capable, especially if you can master both horizontal and vertical swings. | ” | — @SplatoonNA on Twitter[4]

- Main article: Splat Roller
The Splat Roller (as it appears in Splatoon) appears as Inkling's side special attack in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, alongside a variety of other weapons used in her attacks.
When executed, Inkling pulls up a roller and pushes it along the ground, covering it with ink that slows opponents walking on it. Hitting an opponent when rolling buries them, deals damage, and coats them in ink. When Inkling runs out of ink, rolling does not deal damage, will not ink the ground, and rolls much slower.
Trivia
- During the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire, the Splat Roller's sub weapon was changed to Suction Bombs.
- The weapon, however, did have its final kit during the Switch event demo, which took place prior to the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire.
- Suction Bombs were later given to a roller with the Foil Flingza Roller, and it was given to a Splashdown set with the Goo Tuber.
- A mechanical clunking noise can be heard while rolling when out of ink.
- This is also true for all Rollers.
