Agent 3 launching from a Launchpad.
Launchpad ahoy!

Launchpads are a mechanic in Splatoon's Octo Valley.

Description

Launchpads appear as flat circles of swirling ink on horizontal and vertical surfaces, and launch Agent 3 from one platform to another, similar to Super Jumping. This can be done by pressing ZL on the Wii U GamePad. Launchpads are the most common form of transportation between platforms, followed by Inkrails. While Inkrails require manual traversal on the player's part, launchpads are automatic and must only be activated to use.

Appearances

Launchpads appear in every Octo Valley mission, including boss battles. They are also seen in the fifth section of Octo Valley, where a launchpad will take the player to the final boss kettle.

A Launchpad also appears at the end of the Tutorial.

Trivia

  • Using a launchpad displays the same animation as Super Jumping.
  • There are small arrows pointing to the launchpads once they appear. Once the player is near it, a prompt telling them to press ZR will appear above it.
