Shifty Station is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon 2. It is only available during Splatfests and has a variable layout. It will be made playable in Private Battles in Version 5.0.0 after the final Splatfest. The layout does not change over the course of a single Splatfest, with the exception of Chaos vs. Order, where the first 23 layouts will be playable in the first 48 hours, with the last 24 hours only having the final layout playable.

Layout 1: "Wayslide Cool"
The name given to this layout by Marina is 追憶のスライド, "Slide of Reminiscence" or "Slide of memories".[1] This is likely a reference to the inclined ramps' similarity to playground slides.
- Description
Players spawn on either end of the stage, on raised platforms that lead down to sequentially shorter platforms connected by ramps. To the right is a large open area, and straight ahead is a small passage connecting the two halves of the map. In the gaps between each half of the map are two medium-sized platforms that periodically move side-to-side.

Layout 2: "The Secret of S.P.L.A.T."
The name given to this layout by Marina is 約束の丘で会いましょう, "Let's Meet at the Hill of Promises".[1] This is a reference to the common trope in Japanese media of a hill outside school where student couples meet to confess their feelings to each other, or to make important promises.
- Description
Players spawn on either end of the stage, on raised platforms that lead down to a central area. There are two small raised platforms on either side of the central area that periodically move up and down, and a large platform topped with a small inkable block in the middle that moves opposite the side platforms. Various walls are placed about the level to use as cover.
When this layout was reused in May 2018, the small inkable block on the middle platform was removed, some walls were repositioned at the canyon of the spawn point, and the tall wall near the spawn points became inkable on one side and significantly shorter, while the rest of the layout was identical to the original incarnation.
This Shifty Station contains a third variation that was never used in-game.

Layout 3: "Goosponge"
The name given to this layout by Marina is ハンサムなスポンジ, "The Handsome Sponge".[1]
- Description
Players spawn on either end of the stage, on raised platforms that lead down to a central area. To the right, there is a raised platform that is accessible via a sponge. To the left, there is an Inkrail on an isolated platform that the player can jump to in squid or octopus form. Towards the center of the stage are two more Inkrails, which can be used to get on their corresponding platforms. Sponges, walls, and crates in the center area can be used for cover.
When this layout was reused in May 2018, more sponges were added to allow greater movement to key areas. For example, a sponge was added alongside the left side ink rail platform to allow a route to the Inkrail that does not involve jumping. Some sponges had their sizes changed, as the centre sponges allowed to get on both towers, and the sponge near the right Inkrail was made into a cube. Also, the crates centrally placed in the platform just below spawn were rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

Layout 4: "Windmill House on the Pearlie"
The name given to this layout by Marina is ウィンドミル・キス, "Windmill・Kiss".[1]
- Description
Players spawn on either end of the stage, on raised platforms that lead down to a central area. Each side has a rotating platform where the walls can be covered to climb on it and not fall to the abyss. At the center, there is a big wall and two uncoverable rotating platforms, and only can be crossed to the other side by going through the rotating platforms.
When this stage was reused during the Sanrio Splatfest tournament, the central revolving doors were skewed with the left one (per player point of view) moved closer to the spawn. The middle has also been opened up, allowing free movement from one side to the other. The right side of the spawn point has also been expanded.

Layout 5: "Fancy Spew"
The name given to this layout by Marina is バーの一族, "The Spreader Clan".[2] A more literal translation of the name would be "The Clan of Bars", since Spreaders are called "Paint spreading bars" in Japanese.
- Description
Players spawn on either end of the stage, on raised platforms that lead down to a central area. Each side has uninkable ramp near spawn and spinning spreader with their ink color. At the right side of each spawn point, there is an area to ink and an uninkable spinning Spreader on the wall that leads to a bigger platform. At the left side of each spawn point, there are long paths that lead to the center where there is a platform with a wall and a box on the left. At the center, there is a large spinning spreader with each team's colors that can be climbed on that stops spinning at the fifteen seconds left mark.

Layout 6: "Zone of Glass"
The name given to this layout by Marina is トランスペアレント・ボーイ, "Transparent Boy".[2]
- Description
The spawn point for each team is on a raised invisible platform which ramps down to a wider open area. These areas connect via more invisible inclines to a central area dominated by a platform that rises and sinks back into the floor periodically. This platform's walls are also invisible, and each time it sinks into the floor all ink on the walls disappears. To the sides of the central area are two smaller "courtyards", in the middle of each of them is an invisible block with inkable top flats which is constantly circled by long, flat Squee-Gs, shaped like Spreaders which wipe off all ink (leaving the top inked but cleaning the walls of the block).

Layout 7: "Cannon Fire Pearl"
The name given to this layout by Marina is ヒメちゃんのキャノン, "Pearlie's Cannon".[2]
- Description
This layout is made of a valley between two inclines. The spawn points are at the top of each incline, with an Ink Cannon atop a steep, uninkable cliff on the right side just below the spawn. The cannon nest is flanked by a tall wall so that an enemy climbing up the slope to reach it has gone almost all the way up to the spawn point to get behind the cannon.
The stage is dotted with small walls that can be used for cover. The center of the stage has a small hill with another Ink Cannon on it. The base cannons cannot reach each other, but they can reach and be reached by the center cannon. To the sides of the central hill are two tall blocks which can only be inked and climbed from the closer team's side, and can serve as sniper's nests overlooking the center.
When a player is occupying a cannon, they are positioned on top of the sphere which makes up the cannon's body. This means that high-accuracy weapons such as chargers have to aim a little above the cannon to hit the player inside it. When a player leaves the cannon, they are dropped behind it relative to the way they are currently facing. In the case of the base cannons, if facing backwards, the player will fall down the cliffside, allowing for a quick escape if flanked.

Layout 8: "The Bunker Games"
The name given to this layout by Marina is ドジドジ, "Closed-closed".[2]The name is a pun on 閉じ, "to be closed" with ドジ, "clumsy"
- Description
This layout contains a large center area with a glass dome suspended above it. There are also two glass boxes on each side of the stage. These three serve as containment chambers.
When the remaining match time is 1:50, a warning appears saying the side areas are about to seal off. At 1:40, the boxes descend to seal off the side areas, preventing access to them for the remainder of the match, finally closing entirely at 1:30. Two platforms at the large center area also descend to ground level, making more room for combat and inkable turf. At 0:55, another message appears, warning the center area is about to close. At 0:50, the central dome starts descending and by 0:45 it seals off the center area, finally closing entirely at 0:40. Shortly after descending, a launchpad appears in the secluded areas, to allow players to get out, only if players from one team remain in those areas, with the color of the launchpad matching that team.
Players can Super Jump to the secluded areas if a teammate or a Squid Beakon is inside. Tenta Missiles and the Sting Ray can penetrate the glass barriers, but not the Ink Storm.

Layout 9: "Grapplink Girl"
The name given to this layout by Marina is イタズラなヒキヨセ, "Mischievous Grapplinks".[3]
- Description
This layout contains many obstacles and ramps, making walking around the floor very difficult and providing limited visibility. Above many of the raised platforms, there are floating Grapplinks, which allow players to quickly travel along the higher areas. The central area is a high, narrow bridge over a gap, that can only be scaled via a ramp from each team's left flank, a wall on each side near the middle, or using the Grapplinks. It stands between two canyons that separate it from the team base areas. Throwing a bomb or Point Sensor, or using the Sting Ray links the player to the Grapplink. Sting Rays run out immediately once teleported there.
Blocking the right flank of each team's canyon, right before the center area, is a tower with a triangular roof, that seems to be taken from Camp Triggerfish.

Layout 10: "Zappy Longshocking"
The name given to this layout by Marina is あしたはデンデン, "Tomorrow will be Ink Switches".[3]
- Description
This layout is laterally-symmetrical like Saltspray Rig. It contains many ramps and long narrow corridors. The spawn points are located near each other but separated with a tall glass wall that extends all the way to the center (however, splats against the junction where this wall meets the floor may cause a small amount to leech to the other side). From spawn, it is downhill that leads to the center where are three Ink Switches are placed. The center one rises an uninkable wall in the middle while the two others lift climbable platforms on each side respectively. The platforms, when raised, allow full access to that side's respective home base.
Team Alpha (Pearl's team) always spawns on the right side, while Team Bravo (Marina's team) always spawns on the left. However, when the same team is fighting each other in Splatfest, the rule above does not affect spawn positions, so there is a possibility to spawn on either side.

Layout 11: "A Swiftly Tilting Balance"
The name given to this layout by Marina is 天秤ラヴァーズ, "Balance Lovers".[3]
- Description
The main mechanic of this stage is a large double balance beam scale with a large pad near each spawn point and a pair of smaller pads near the center. The pads are balanced against their same-sized counterparts and are not connected between them. The scales tip based on the number of players and sub weapons on them, with the heavier side lowering and the lighter side raising accordingly. While moving up or down, a pattern on the top of the pad will glow light blue and a grinding metal sound effect will be heard. Between each spawn point and the larger pads is a lower area with many horizontal and vertical grates and a sponge that can be used to climb back on the left flank. The smaller pads in the middle are each flanked by a pit hazard on the left side and a short ramp providing cover on the right.
- Sub weapons also affect platform weight. Their weight is half that of a player, which makes the platforms go down by half the distance they would when unbalanced by the weight of a player.
- Three sub weapons do not follow this rule, being Ink Mines, Point Sensors and Toxic Mist. This is likely due to these subs not having any material value.
- Swimming on a wall of the platforms counts as being on the platform, and will affect it whether the character is ascending, descending or swimming at a set height.
- Accordingly, Suction Bombs and Sprinklers (when placed on the walls of the platform) affect the balance by half a player's weight.
- Certain parts of the bottom areas of the moving platforms are covered by uninkable walls taller than the maximum jump height, so when fully raised, the platforms can only be climbed from certain directions.

Layout 12: "Sweet Valley Tentacles"
The name given to this layout by Marina is たこあし注意報, "Tentacle Warning".[3]
- Description
This layout's main mechanic revolves around tentacles that stick out of the floor. There are three octopus tentacles and three squid tentacles, even during same-team matches. The octopus tentacles resemble those that are seen in boss battles, and the squid tentacles resemble a larger version of the Squid Bumpers seen in the Shooting Range.
Each team's spawn point is on a raised platform with a lower area in front and to the right and a walkway going off to the left. Past the lower area is a wall numbered 3 on the left, a ramp to a raised platform in the middle, and a tall, uninkable wall to the right. Beyond these is a large courtyard divided by both teams' number 1 walls and an S-shaped inkable platform between them. On each team's side, the number 1 tentacle is on the right, near the S-shaped platform. Further to the right of each team's side is a small pit hazard and a blocked-off area containing the team's number 2 tentacle. To the left of the team's side of the center is their number 2 wall, and beyond it a small enclosed area. This area contains the team's number 3 tentacle and can be reached by following the left walkway from the team's spawn. The number 2 wall is flanked by a raised platform with sponges at each end, allowing friendly team members to go around the wall without opening it.
The background of this layout features drinking jars with straws filled with a clear liquid. The background also has fireworks going off, some of them in the shape of the squid and octopus icons from the game can be seen in the sky, colored to match the teams currently playing.
Tentacles
Players can splat their enemy team's corresponding numbered tentacles (denoted by the Inkling numbers 1, 2 and 3). Doing so will lower a barrier with the same number, giving access to other areas, displaying a message and playing the "objective captured" or "objective lost" sound effect from Ranked Battles. Each tentacle is connected to a certain barrier and they do not heal damage or regenerate once splatted. There is a lit path on the floor leading from each tentacle to the gate it opens, and once the tentacle is splatted, the lights turn off as the gate opens.
The tentacles do not need to be splatted in any particular order, as number 2 is accessible from the start, and number 3, while hidden behind the number 2 gate, can still be accessed using long-ranged weapons and ones that provide more mobility, such as the Inkjet or Sting Ray; or by standing on a sponge and having it be expanded by an enemy team member.
The first tentacle will suffer 600 damage before being splatted, the second 3000, and the third 2000. Certain weapons do more damage to the tentacles, with the game applying the same damage multipliers as when attacking tentacles in Octo Expansion boss fights. The tentacles are unaffected by Object Shredder, so additional damage will be dealt.

Layout 13: "The Switches"
The name given to this layout by Marina is ヌリとスイッチの吐息, "Breath of Splat and Switch".[4] The name could be more literally translated as "A Breath of Painting and Switch", since "Painting Switches" is the Japanese name for Splat-Switches.
- Description
This layout's main mechanic revolves around Splat-Switches. There are two switches on each team's side which begin in the enemy's color, and one in the center which begins in a neutral state. The two switches in each team's side control a gate, moving it to a closed position when in the defending team's color, and the central switch controls two platforms in the central area - when it is inked, the platform closer to the owner's color will rise from ground level, making it inaccessible since its walls are uninkable.
Each team's spawn point is on a raised platform with a small walkway leading forward. To the right are two lower-leveled areas with staircases leading between them. The lowest of these two levels is split by a wall. The first Splat-Switch is in front of this wall, and the gate it controls is in its middle. Ahead of these two areas is a long wall separating them from the center of the stage. The second Splat-Switch is on top of this wall, and the gate it controls is adjacent to it (so that when the gate opens it hides the Splat-Switch from the center). To the left is some grating leading to the center from a different angle. The center area is a large, flat, open area, with the central Splat-Switch in its epicenter, with small boxes usable for cover on either side. On each team's right side is a Sponge Block. On the left side is the rising platform, with another small box on top. When the moving platform is raised, it is leveled with the wall on the closer side, allowing players on it to access the base even without opening the gate.

Layout 14: "The Bouncey Twins"
The name given to this layout by Marina is ジャンプマットの詩, "Bounce Pads' Poem".[4]
- Description
Players spawn on either end of the stage, on raised platforms that lead down to sequentially lower platforms with boxes and a bumper. These areas can be accessed by falling through grates, jumping on bounce pads or falling from one raised platform to a lower one. In the center is a raised platform with boxes in the middle that can only be accessed by jumping on the bounce pads from each side, and grated bridges from the sides of the center. The bounce pads are placed above pit hazards, providing access to higher areas at the risk of falling off the stage.

Layout 21: "Bridge to Tentaswitchia"
The name given to this layout by Marina is ビッグ=パネルが止まらない, "The Big=Panel Doesn't Stop".[7]
- Description
This layout contains an Ink Switch in the center of the map controlling a strip of fourteen moving platforms. These platforms, partially separated by a glass wall in front of the switch at the start of a match, serve as the surface for the center of the map. Team Alpha always spawns on the right, while Team Bravo always spawns on the left. This is randomly decided in same-team matches. When the switch is in use, the platforms move slowly from one end of the stage to the other. Players must ink the surface of the platforms before they slide under the other glass wall behind the switch, putting the turf out of reach for the remainder of the match. The switch is covered with a glass barrier from all sides, except for the front. The height of the switch is also enough that the Tenta Missiles are less likely to activate it. When the last surface is fully on the other side of the first glass wall, sliding doors of the glass barrier conceal the front of the switch. The Sting Ray and Booyah Bomb can penetrate this cage, but hitting the Ink Switch will do nothing once the platforms have moved to the end.

Official Naming
While all the layouts are referred to in-game as "Shifty Station", on 18 June 2019, the official Japanese Splatoon Twitter account began publishing images of the various layouts in appearance order, each titled with a specific name[1][2][3][4][5][7]. One of the tweets mentions that these names were given by Marina[2]. It appears that the names are parodies of romantic josei and shōjo manga.

Trivia
- Marina claims to have helped make the stage herself, which is shown by her symbol appearing on the stage image.
- As Marina mentions often in the news segments, she was raised around Octarian machinery, which would explain why many of the Shifty Station variants contain at least one of the Octo Valley and Octo Canyon mechanics.
- This is elaborated on further in the Octo Expansion. In Marina's chat room, Pearl mentions how Marina creates these stages all by herself, while Cap'n Cuttlefish notes the Octarian technology used, such as floating rocks, from Marina's time as a combat engineer for DJ Octavio.
- The stage seems to be set somewhere in one of Octo Canyon's domes or the Deepsea Metro, as can be deduced by the decorations scattered throughout the stage types as well as the floating objects in the background.
- Not all Shifty Stations actually shift. Layouts 3, 7, 9, 14 and 15 are static, and 10, 11, 12 and 13 only move when interacted with.
- On one of the Stations there is a Inkjet glitch that allows the player to clip through the wall.
- Layout 3 has been used for the most Splatfests, with a grand total of five.
- The internal code name for this stage in the game files is "Deli".
- Layout 12, along with two future layouts featuring Ride Rails and Bounce Pads, were found in the game's data after the release of Version 3.2.0. This was the only complete layout that also had the stage model present.[10][11]
- The same data miners later published a complete list of the Shifty Station layout code names (as of 4.5.1):
- Every Shifty Station's name is a reference to a work in some form of media.
