This stage was first shown in the E3 2014 trailer and official screenshots. In Regular Battle, when there is only one minute left in the match the floodgates at the right of the spawn close, allowing players to access the enemy base and attack from a new angle.
Flounder Heights
Flounder Heights consists of the top of an apartment complex, with multiple raised platforms, a wire floor, and a pair of doors. This stage was briefly shown in the July 24th Japanese Splatoon trailer detailing future updates, as well was shown with the release of Rainmaker mode.

A grated walkway runs through the center of the map allowing diverse gameplay on both the high and low ground.

Mahi-Mahi Resort
Mahi-Mahi Resort takes place in a squid-shaped swimming pool next to a resort. In the latter half of a Regular battle, Splat Zones, or Rainmaker match, the water level will drop, revealing more turf to ink.

Stage Data
By analyzing the percentages given out by Judd at the end of a match, it is possible to know what a level's inkable surface area is. For instance, at the end of a match, if one team gets 400 Battle Points and the other gets 600 (for a total of 1000 points of turf inked), and the percentages for each are 33.3% and 50%, respectively (for a total of 83.3%), that means the stage's total possible turf area is 1200 points (1000 * (1 / 0.833) = 1200).
