When browsing the Ammo Knights store, the player is given the choice to test out any weapons that are on sale in the special '''Testing Area'''. The area features ledges to climb up to, dummies with varying amounts of health to test damage output, and lines to judge distance and range.


==Trivia==
In each shop, one of the four (or five in ''Splatoon 3)'' variations of [[DJ Lee Fish]]'s song ''[[Lookin' Fresh]]'' can be heard.
*"Booyah Base" is a play on the word "bouillabaisse," a type of fish stew.
*Booyah Base draws inspiration from Shibuya, a Japanese city.
*"Ammo Knights" is a play on the word "ammonite," which is an extinct type of marine mollusk.
*Jelly Fresh is a play on the word [[jellyfish]].
*The word "Ebisu" in the store's Japanese name seems to come from the Japanese god of fishermen and luck, [[Wikipedia:Ebisu_(mythology)|Ebisu]].
*The background music of the Booyah Base will change depending on which store the player is in.
**If the player is in '''Cooler Heads''', the melody of the music will become louder than the rest of the music. This is because the store's merchandise corresponds with the upper part of the [[Inkling]]'s body.
**If the player is in '''Jelly Fresh''', the percussion pieces of the music will become more audible. This corresponds with the store selling clothing, which is the middle part of an Inkling's body.
**If the player is in '''Shrimp Kicks''', the bassline will become more audible. This is because the store's merchandise corresponds with the bottom part of an Inkling's body.
