'''Port Mackerel''' is a multiplayer [[stage]] in ''[[Splatoon]]''. This stage was not available at the launch of ''Splatoon'', but was released on June 2nd 2015 at {{UTC|hour=02|minutes=00|year=2015|month=06|day=02}}. It made its first appearance in the stage rotation immediately after the update.
==Layout==
[[File:S2 Port Mackerel Overview.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Port Mackerel overview in Splatoon 2.]]


==Layout==
Port Mackerel has open battlefields which are where most of the combat takes place. Both open battlefields are separated from each other by a set of cargo containers. These battlefields, while being very open for vision, can be difficult to maneuver around for some players, as the narrow paths and stacks of crates do not allow for much vision of the area. It is possible, in [[Turf War]] and [[Tower Control]], to climb on top of the covered storage crates by either using the forklifts or by climbing on the Tower. These can serve as useful vantage points as they are on higher ground, and since they are covered in an ink-resistant tarp, there is no enemy [[ink]] to get stuck in. The walls of the crates are also inkable, giving players a place to recharge ink or hide, without having to give up their vantage point. There are four side passages in this stage, two on the player's side and two on the enemy side. They are all accessed on the left or right sides of the map and lead to small openings on the side of the open battlefields, which cannot be climbed up due to small ledges. The side passages are often forgotten parts of the map, particularly because they are mostly out of the action and are only accessible from the area near the spawn points.

Port Mackerel is a shipping yard and, as such, there are numerous containers littering the field, making for several narrow paths in a grid shape. In the middle is another gridded area and on either side of it is an open area and inkable forklifts that ride back and forth across all three lanes. There also exist two upper paths from either spawn point that run around the perimeter of the map, ending in the middle area. It includes many corridors, such as ones around large, colored boxes and crates.


==Notable Locations==
Port Mackerel received a fair number of changes to its layout in {{S2}}. The general structure of the stage is unchanged, but all the obstacles have been changed or spread out to make the corridors less tight. The forklifts now only travel halfway across the stage to the respective team's left. Four [[sponge]]s have been added, one on each team's plaza and two at the very center of the stage.
*'''Open Battlefields''' – This is where most of the combat takes place. Both open battlefields are separated from each other by set of cargo containers. These battlefields, while being very open for vision, can be difficult to maneuver around for some players, as the narrow paths and stacks of crates don't allow for much vision of the area. It is possible, in [[Turf Wars]] and [[Tower Control]], to climb on top of the covered storage crates by either using the fork lifts, or by climbing on the tower. These can serve as useful vantage points, as they are on higher ground, and since they are covered in ink-resistant tarp, there is no enemy Ink to get stuck in. The walls of the crates are also ink-able, giving players a place to recharge ink or hide, without having to give up their vantage point.


*'''Side Passages''' – There are four Side Passages in this stage, two on the player's side, and two on the enemy side. They are all accessed on the left or right sides of the map and lead to small openings on the side of the Open Battlefields, which cannot be climbed up due to small ledges.The Side Passages are often forgotten parts of the map, particularly because they're mostly out of the action and they're only accessible from the area near the spawn points.
==Ranked Battle terrain==
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.


==Ranked Battle==
===[[Splat Zones]]===
===[[Splat Zones]]===
In Splat Zones there are two zones located on one side of the two open areas of the map. The only known change from the [[Turf War]] iteration is the fact that the forklifts that move back and forth between the shipping containers are absent.
In {{S}}, there are two zones located on one side of the two open areas of the map. The only known change from the [[Turf War]] iteration is the fact that the forklifts which move back and forth between the shipping containers are absent.
 
In {{S2}}, there is only a single Splat Zone at the center of the map. The only notable changes are the removal of the forklifts and the introduction of a small inkable barrier to the left corridor on each team's plaza.


===[[Tower Control]]===
===[[Tower Control]]===
The tower starts in the center of the map and moves along the rail, passing through the Open Battlefields and weaving in between boxes, until it reaches the top of the box directly in front of the opponent's spawn.
The Tower starts in the center of the map and moves along the rail, passing through the open battlefields and weaving in between boxes until it reaches the top of the box directly in front of the opponent's spawn. Two inkable boxes have been added to the right side of the open battlefields, allowing players to access the side passages from this area.
 
In ''Splatoon 2'', additional [[sponge]]s have been added immediately in front of each team's [[spawn point]] to give them easier access to the upper area. The goal has been moved off the box and onto the ground beside it.

===[[Rainmaker]]===
===[[Rainmaker]]===
The Rainmaker is located at the middle of the map. The Rainmaker must be taken to a pillar located on top of the cargo container in front of the rival [[Spawn Point]]. A couple platforms are supplied to make reaching higher ground easier, the pillar can only be access by either climbing the newly placed board on the backside of the container or jumping from the high ground.

A couple of platforms are supplied to make reaching higher ground easier, while the pillar can only be accessed by either climbing the newly-placed board on the backside of the container or jumping from the high ground.
 
In ''Splatoon 2'', the location of the Rainmaker and goal remain the same. A ramp has been added to make getting to the [[Rainmaker (weapon)|Rainmaker]] pedestal easier. Four additional sponges have been added, two immediately in front of each team's spawn as well as another sponge in each team's plaza of the opposing team's color.


===[[Clam Blitz]]===
The clam baskets are located immediately outside each team's starting corridor to the right side of the team's plaza. The map layout is the same as in Splat Zones, with [[Inkrail]]s added to the left of each team's starting corridor, the removal of the sponge in each team's spawn, and a block allowing you to get on top of more crates.

==Tips==
===Gallery===
* Due to the numerous narrow alleys, [[Roller]]s, [[Charger]]s, [[Seeker]]s, and [[Killer Wail]]s excel at this Stage.
<gallery>
**Low spread [[Shooter]]s, such as the [[Splash-o-matic]] and the [[Dual Squelcher]], are also decent options in the narrow passageways.
S Port Mackerel.png|Promotional screenshot
* While there is not much in the way of accessible high ground, the forklifts in [[Turf War]] can be a good option, and getting on shipping containers is also possible with a correctly-timed jump or two.
S Port Mackerel Trailer Screenshot.jpg|Alternate viewpoint
**Even though their tops cannot be inked, you can still ink the walls of a nearby container to recharge your ink and hide in it.
Port mack ride.gif|[[Inkling]]s riding a forklift at Port Mackerel.
* The large area around the [[Spawn Point]]s should not be left un-Inked; it is a decent amount of Turf that may be missed by overzealous players.
Big n small jellyfish.png|A pair of differently-sized [[jellyfish]] talking behind the glass at Port Mackerel.
* Due to the narrow lanes and obstructed views, it is easy to bypass enemies completely without either player knowing. Use {{GP}} to keep tabs on where enemy Ink is being spread, and make use of [[Echolocator]]s and [[Point Sensor]]s to get a better idea of where enemies are.
S Aerospray PG promo 2.jpg|An Inkling firing the [[Aerospray PG]].
*In [[Splat Zones]], it is always a good idea to check on the zone closest to one's own Spawn Point regularly. If an enemy sneaks past and gains control of it, it will be all the more difficult to get it back.

*The elevated side passages branching off from the at the Spawn Point are great for [[Charger]]s and any weapon that can place [[Squid Beakon]]s, as the high ground is much safer.
</gallery>
**Another good tactic for Chargers is to stand at one end of a corridor and snipe enemies, as they are difficult to maneuver in.

Port Mackerel was released with the launch of ''[[Splatoon 2]]''. The turf on this stage has been widened, and many of the crates around the stage have either been shrunken down, had the tarps removed allowing them to be inked, or have been replaced with [[sponge]]s. The forklifts from the first game return, but now only move across half of the stage's width. A modified version of this stage is used in {{OctoExpansionStation|A|02}} [[Far-Out Station]] in the ''[[Octo Expansion]]''.

* Fixed an issue occurring in Port Mackerel where [[ink]]ing the top of an uninkable container near the center of the map earned a small amount of points and filled the [[special gauge]] slightly.
* Changed the movement range of the forklifts in Port Mackerel to fix an issue where players caught between the forklift and a [[sponge]] were occasionally pushed inside the forklift.
* Adjusted the path of the tower in [[Tower Control]] mode in Port Mackerel to fix an issue where players caught between the tower's pillar and a stage object when the tower entered a narrow space appeared to be shaking.
* Adjusted the size of the sponge near the spawn points in Port Mackerel to fix an issue where a slight discrepancy existed between the height of the sponge when fully expanded and the height of the platform on the tower.

Latest revision as of 18:10, 10 April 2024

Port Mackerel is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

Port Mackerel is a shipping yard and, as such, numerous containers litter the field, making for several narrow paths in a grid shape. In the middle is another gridded area, and on either side of it is an open area and inkable forklifts that ride back and forth across all three lanes. There also exist two upper paths from either spawn point that run around the perimeter of the map, ending in the middle area. It includes many corridors, such as ones around large, colored boxes and crates.

Layout

Port Mackerel overview in Splatoon 2.

Port Mackerel has open battlefields which are where most of the combat takes place. Both open battlefields are separated from each other by a set of cargo containers. These battlefields, while being very open for vision, can be difficult to maneuver around for some players, as the narrow paths and stacks of crates do not allow for much vision of the area. It is possible, in Turf War and Tower Control, to climb on top of the covered storage crates by either using the forklifts or by climbing on the Tower. These can serve as useful vantage points as they are on higher ground, and since they are covered in an ink-resistant tarp, there is no enemy ink to get stuck in. The walls of the crates are also inkable, giving players a place to recharge ink or hide, without having to give up their vantage point. There are four side passages in this stage, two on the player's side and two on the enemy side. They are all accessed on the left or right sides of the map and lead to small openings on the side of the open battlefields, which cannot be climbed up due to small ledges. The side passages are often forgotten parts of the map, particularly because they are mostly out of the action and are only accessible from the area near the spawn points.

Port Mackerel received a fair number of changes to its layout in Splatoon 2. The general structure of the stage is unchanged, but all the obstacles have been changed or spread out to make the corridors less tight. The forklifts now only travel halfway across the stage to the respective team's left. Four sponges have been added, one on each team's plaza and two at the very center of the stage.

Ranked Battle terrain

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

In Splatoon, there are two zones located on one side of the two open areas of the map. The only known change from the Turf War iteration is the fact that the forklifts which move back and forth between the shipping containers are absent.

In Splatoon 2, there is only a single Splat Zone at the center of the map. The only notable changes are the removal of the forklifts and the introduction of a small inkable barrier to the left corridor on each team's plaza.

Tower Control

The Tower starts in the center of the map and moves along the rail, passing through the open battlefields and weaving in between boxes until it reaches the top of the box directly in front of the opponent's spawn. Two inkable boxes have been added to the right side of the open battlefields, allowing players to access the side passages from this area.

In Splatoon 2, additional sponges have been added immediately in front of each team's spawn point to give them easier access to the upper area. The goal has been moved off the box and onto the ground beside it.

In Splatoon 2, checkpoints have been added:
Checkpoint Location Timer (Seconds) Progress Amount
Before After Total
1 The first checkpoint is located on top of one of the bumps in the enemy plaza. 8 62 47 15
2 The second checkpoint is located at the turn leading into the enemy corridor. 6 23 13 10

Rainmaker

The Rainmaker is located in the middle of the stage. The Rainmaker must be taken to a pillar located on top of the cargo container in front of the rival spawn point. A couple of platforms are supplied to make reaching higher ground easier, while the pillar can only be accessed by either climbing the newly-placed board on the backside of the container or jumping from the high ground.

In Splatoon 2, the location of the Rainmaker and goal remain the same. A ramp has been added to make getting to the Rainmaker pedestal easier. Four additional sponges have been added, two immediately in front of each team's spawn as well as another sponge in each team's plaza of the opposing team's color.

Clam Blitz

The clam baskets are located immediately outside each team's starting corridor to the right side of the team's plaza. The map layout is the same as in Splat Zones, with Inkrails added to the left of each team's starting corridor, the removal of the sponge in each team's spawn, and a block allowing you to get on top of more crates.

Port Mackerel

Added in Initial Release (1.0.0)
Total area 2,457p
Features Moving platforms(TW), sponges, and Inkrails(CB)
Hazards

Port Mackerel was released with the launch of Splatoon 2. The turf on this stage has been widened, and many of the crates around the stage have either been shrunken down, had the tarps removed allowing them to be inked, or have been replaced with sponges. The forklifts from the first game return, but now only move across half of the stage's width. A modified version of this stage is used in A02 Far-Out Station in the Octo Expansion.

Version history

Version Adjustments
1.2.0
  • Fixed an issue occurring in Port Mackerel where inking the top of an uninkable container near the center of the map earned a small amount of points and filled the special gauge slightly.
  • Changed the movement range of the forklifts in Port Mackerel to fix an issue where players caught between the forklift and a sponge were occasionally pushed inside the forklift.
  • Adjusted the path of the tower in Tower Control mode in Port Mackerel to fix an issue where players caught between the tower's pillar and a stage object when the tower entered a narrow space appeared to be shaking.
  • Adjusted the size of the sponge near the spawn points in Port Mackerel to fix an issue where a slight discrepancy existed between the height of the sponge when fully expanded and the height of the platform on the tower.
2.1.0
  • Adjusted placement of objects in Rainmaker.
    • Adjusted shape of the sponges near the starting point.
    • Set the area above certain containers near the center as Rainmaker-Free Zones.
2.1.1
  • Fixed an issue getting into landforms when executing Super Jump from specific location to a specific location in Port Mackerel.
2.3.0
  • Fixed an issue in Rainmaker on Port Mackerel in which a player could not submerge into some walls near the starting point even though they could be painted.
4.2.0
  • On-screen brightness will no longer change dramatically depending on the amount of light hitting the camera during Splatfest Battles.
4.9.0
  • Fixed an issue causing a player to fall off the stage and get splatted when pushed into a specific outer wall in the stage as the result of an opponent's attack.
