Blackbelly Skatepark features two inversely symmetrical skateparks with large ramps and hills. It also includes more wide-open areas. There are numerous ways to attack the center of the map, as well as to attack the bases. In the center, there is a tall tower. It is a large, plateaued structure that can only be accessed by climbing vertical paths of [[ink]]. It is an effective but vulnerable place to control the center area of the stage. Small balconies are positioned on its sides. Right-angled alleys are located to the right of each team's [[spawn point]] and lead towards the center of the map. They each contain a high platform which can be useful for [[charger]]s trying to take over the central tower. There are no hazards in Blackbelly Skatepark.
 
In {{S2}}, the spawn point area is not accessible to the enemy team, now being on a fairly large raised platform area.

Blackbelly Skatepark's total area is 1528p.

==Notable Locations==
In [[Ranked Battle]]s, specifications for the terrain or placement of objects are different between the modes; these changes create new paths or new objects to take cover behind.

*'''Central Tower''' – The Central Tower is a large, plateaued structure that can only be accessed by climbing vertical paths of [[Ink]]. It is a relatively effective yet rather obvious place to shoot down your enemies. Small balconies are positioned on its sides.
*'''Right Alleys'''- These alleys are located to the right of each teams' spawns and lead towards the center of the map. They each contain a high platform which can be useful for [[charger]]s trying to take over the '''Central Tower'''

==Development==
===[[Rainmaker]]===
Blackbelly Skatepark underwent a series of changes between its development period and release. The pre-release version included many differences, such as:
The [[Rainmaker (weapon)|Rainmaker]] in Blackbelly Skatepark is located at the top of the central tower. The goals are located directly to the left, just off of the spawn point. Just past those goals, right by the central tower, there are black uninkable boxes. There are also small boxes added to the central tower so players can hit the Rainmaker without being pushed down from the expanding shield.
*Stairs leading from [[Spawn Point]]s to the Central Tower area were present.
*There were more wooden ramps near the middle area.
*Near the middle area, four foam barriers could be found.

==Tips==
In ''Splatoon 2'', the central tower is significantly shorter with the Rainmaker on it. The goal is on the layer below the spawn point and a block has been added to jump to the layer below the spawn point. Going to the right also allows a way to the pedestal. While to the left also provides a way to the pedestal. Rainmaker is the only ranked mode in which this stage retains most of the terrain of [[Turf War]].
*The Central Tower can be a highly contested spot given its vantage point, making it easy to claim a wide area. However, its entire circumference, not just the ramps on the sides of the tower can be painted, making it a very vulnerable position as well.
*The Central Tower is also an ideal site for an [[Inkstrike]], and if timed correctly any enemies atop it will be forced off or splatted. [[Seeker]]s can also be sent up the ramps on either side to splat unsuspecting foes.
*The wooden half-pipes to the far side of each [[Checkpoint|spawn point]] can be a great entrance for breaching the enemy perimeter. The narrow entryway here is an ideal spot for setting up a [[Splash Wall]] or [[Ink Mine]].
*The elevated [[grate]]s that surround half of the elevated square planters that sit diagonal to the Central Tower are great for hit and run inking. Ink the sides then squid along the walls to refill your [[Ink Tank]] and hide from enemies. They also provide an ideal spot to snipe foes near their spawn point.

===[[Clam Blitz]]===
The basket is located at the right side from the spawn, in front of the hills. There are no bumps near it. The spawn points are moved down a layer and the layer which the spawn points were in Turf War is removed. An Inkrail has been added to get to the basket quicker. The layout looks the same as in [[Tower Control]].

|M3B=Don't worry—he has a lot of built-in cushion!
Blackbelly Skatepark returns in ''[[Splatoon 2]]'', initially appearing nearly identical to its appearance in ''[[Splatoon]]'', with a few notable changes. The platform the [[spawn point]] is located on no longer slopes downwards to the area ahead of it, and the platform has been stretched backwards to allow for more room. The square platform in front of the spawn now also extends forwards, allowing for an additional side route to the center. A small bump on the right side of the stage also has been removed. As a result of these changes, the stage is now larger and more open than its appearance in the first game.

Blackbelly Skatepark is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

Blackbelly Skatepark is a stage based around a skate park. It includes a curved landscape with multiple raised locations.

Layout

Blackbelly Skatepark overview.

Blackbelly Skatepark features two inversely symmetrical skateparks with large ramps and hills. It also includes more wide-open areas. There are numerous ways to attack the center of the map, as well as to attack the bases. In the center, there is a tall tower. It is a large, plateaued structure that can only be accessed by climbing vertical paths of ink. It is an effective but vulnerable place to control the center area of the stage. Small balconies are positioned on its sides. Right-angled alleys are located to the right of each team's spawn point and lead towards the center of the map. They each contain a high platform which can be useful for chargers trying to take over the central tower. There are no hazards in Blackbelly Skatepark.

In Splatoon 2, the spawn point area is not accessible to the enemy team, now being on a fairly large raised platform area.

Ranked Battle terrain

Topside view of Blackbelly Skatepark.

In Ranked Battles, specifications for the terrain or placement of objects are different between the modes; these changes create new paths or new objects to take cover behind.

Splat Zones

The Splat Zones in Blackbelly Skatepark are relatively small and located in opposite corners from each other in the middle of the map, both touching the central tower. The spawn points are moved down a layer and the layer which the spawn points were in Turf War is removed. Inkrails are also added to get to the center quicker.

Tower Control

The Tower in Blackbelly Skatepark is located at the top of the central tower. The goals are located in the right alleys, going past the two small walls. When it is ridden, the Tower moves to the riding team's left. It then descends downward and proceeds to go through the opposing team's right alley, all the way to the goal. The spawn points are moved down a layer and the layer which the spawn points were in Turf War is removed. Inkrails are also added to get to the center and the tower quicker.

In Splatoon 2, checkpoints have been added:
Checkpoint Location Timer (seconds) Progress Amount
Before After Total
1 The first checkpoint is located near the bottom of the central tower. 4 87 79 8
2 The second checkpoint is located at the side area meeting the center and the enemy's halfpipe. 5 57 47 10
3 The third checkpoint is located in between the two roadblocks in the enemy's halfpipe. 10
Some values may be inconsistent (still acquiring data)

Rainmaker

The Rainmaker in Blackbelly Skatepark is located at the top of the central tower. The goals are located directly to the left, just off of the spawn point. Just past those goals, right by the central tower, there are black uninkable boxes. There are also small boxes added to the central tower so players can hit the Rainmaker without being pushed down from the expanding shield.

In Splatoon 2, the central tower is significantly shorter with the Rainmaker on it. The goal is on the layer below the spawn point and a block has been added to jump to the layer below the spawn point. Going to the right also allows a way to the pedestal. While to the left also provides a way to the pedestal. Rainmaker is the only ranked mode in which this stage retains most of the terrain of Turf War.

Clam Blitz

The basket is located at the right side from the spawn, in front of the hills. There are no bumps near it. The spawn points are moved down a layer and the layer which the spawn points were in Turf War is removed. An Inkrail has been added to get to the basket quicker. The layout looks the same as in Tower Control.

Blackbelly Skatepark was released on 28 October 2017 at 02:00 UTC.[1]

Version 1.4.1 to 4.2.0

Blackbelly Skatepark returns in Splatoon 2, initially appearing nearly identical to its appearance in Splatoon, with a few notable changes. The platform the spawn point is located on no longer slopes downwards to the area ahead of it, and the platform has been stretched backwards to allow for more room. The square platform in front of the spawn now also extends forwards, allowing for an additional side route to the center. A small bump on the right side of the stage also has been removed. As a result of these changes, the stage is now larger and more open than its appearance in the first game.

Version 4.3.0 onwards

The image released on social media announcing changes to Blackbelly Skatepark.

On 29 November 2018, an announcement was posted on the official Splatoon Japanese Twitter account stating that from 1 December 2018 until the release of Version 4.3.0 on 5 December 2018, Blackbelly Skatepark would be "closed for renovations", similar to the announcements made for Starfish Mainstage in Version 4.0.0 and The Reef in Version 4.2.0.[2] The announcement included a blueprint of the stage with the planned changes scribbled on it.

Changes included:

  • Areas around the teams' spawn points were significantly deepened and widened.
  • One of the L-shaped platforms on the left side of each team's spawn was slightly widened.
