The Panicking Alla Mambo is a Jelleton enemy in Splatoon 3: Side Order, reserved solely for the pursuit levels. When the player comes near a Panicking Alla Mambo, it runs away from the player and leaves behind a thin trail of ink. It can also drop Splat Bombs after taking off.

Appearance

The Panicking Alla Mambo is a mechanical fish mostly encased in black ink. They are internally silver, resembling mechanical parts, except their red eyes, which pop out of their sockets. Panicking Alla Mambo have a wheel on their underparts and three exhaust pipes behind their fins, which they use to rapidly flee and leave a trail of ink behind. They seem to be based on the sunfish.

Strategy

• If a bomb is thrown in front of a Panicking Alla Mambo, it'll flee in the opposite direction. This can be used to lure them towards the player.
• Panicking Alla Mambo's speed significantly reduces when they're on the player's ink, so inking their trail makes splatting them an easier task.

Quotes

The following text is quoted from the Jelleton Field Guide.

Panicking Alla Mambo

Habitat: Octoling-free spaces

(1)	These cowards run when Eight gets close. But your ink slows them down, so chase them onto ground you've inked, and it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
(20)	They'll run from your bombs too. You can use that to your advantage to flush them onto your own turf.
(100)	You're never gonna outrun these suckers, so you've gotta outsmart them instead. Make me proud, Eight!
Conclusion They can't escape a good plan!

Trivia

• The Panicking Alla Mambo is very similar to the Tentakooks in Hero Mode, being a fleeing foe that will spurt out bombs when cornered. However, they are less prone to inking turf on their own and are easily slowed by the player's ink.
• They are also comparable to Goldies, being similarly shiny, having higher HP and being only seen is specific events (Goldies in Goldie Seeking & Glowflies and the Panicking Alla Mambo in its specific mission).
