This article discusses content that is not part of the official
Splatoon series but is part of the community or competitive gaming space.
Splatoon Speedrunning
The Splatoon Speedrunning Moderation Team (often shortened to Splatoon Speedrunning) is a group of speedrunners who manage the Splatoon speedrunning scene through organizing various speedrunning events and are also responsible for curating and moderating the speedrun.com leaderboards on behalf of the community.[1] The team consists solely of volunteers from within the community and has existed since the launch of Splatoon 1.[2]
Leaderboards
Splatoon Speedrunning uses the website speedrun.com to display and rank speedruns. Each game gets it's own separate leaderboard page but DLCs like Octo Expansion and minigames like Tableturf Battle are usually split into separate leaderboards. Some games may have a Category Extension leaderboard which acts as a second leaderboard and is used for more unusual speedrun categories.[3]
Fangames are unofficial games outside of the Splatoon Series. There are currently 2 fangames with leaderboards on speedrun.com.
Speedrun Categories
Speedruns are divided into categories that impose various limitations on a runner and requires a certain task to be completed in the game. Some of the most well known speedrun categories are Any% and 100% but the various Splatoon leaderboards contain many more categories.
Splatoon 1
Splatoon 1 is currently the only game where using an emulator to speedrun the game is allowed. But due to there being multiple differences between the WiiU gameplay and Emulator gameplay; the community has decided to separate them into two different subcategories.

Splatoon 3
Due to the high number of glitches patched in Splatoon 3, the community has had to separate categories into different restrictions depending of what version of the game you have access to.
There are mainly 3 version splits:
- 1.0.0 through 1.1.2 is called Unrestricted.
- 2.0.0 through 4.0.2 is called No Menu Storage + Pause Abuse.
- 4.1.0 and later is called No Patched Glitches.
This is due to the glitch Pause Abuse being patched out in 1.1.2, Menu Storage being patched out in 2.0.0 and Surge Roll being patched out in 4.1.0.
Runners are still allowed to submit speedruns to any of the version subcategories regardless of their game version, as long as they do not preform any of the glitches that are banned in the subcategory.

When a speedrun is submitted to one of Splatoon's speedrun.com leaderboards; a moderator or a verifier has to verify the speedrun's legitimacy.[4] Verifiers similar to moderators are volunteers from the community who verify speedruns on behalf of the community, but are not curating the leaderboards in any ways other than verifying.[1] The people listed bellow are the current active verifiers.
