Normal mode lets the player either start solo or battle with two to four friends by joining together in a private lobby before choosing to find other random players. Players from the same team can continue being matched up together in the same lobby if they choose to continue after the end of a match. Pro mode works identically to how Solo mode worked before this version; the player cannot team up with friends and is automatically matched with three other players. Players from the same team are not matched up in the same lobby after a match. | ||
Before | Before version {{Ver|S2|4.0.0}}, there were two other options for Splatfest Battles: Solo and Team. Solo mode worked like Splatfests in ''Splatoon''; the player was automatically matched with three other players and battled against groups of four random players from the opposing team. However, as opposed to the original game, players from the same team were not automatically matched up in the same lobby after a match. Team mode required four players (that must be friends with someone from the same team who is in the lobby) to join a private lobby before being matched up against another team of four.<ref>{{SRL}} [[Inkipedia:Tumblr archive/2017/July#162945401994|splatoonus on Tumblr]]</ref> | ||
In ''Splatoon 3'', there are three different Splatfest Battle modes, Open, Pro, and Tricolor. Open and Pro are available for the entirety of the Splatfest, while Tricolor is only available after the Halftime Report. Open and Pro function identically to Normal and Pro mode in ''Splatoon 2''. Players that chose Tricolor will play a [[Tricolor Turf War]], with the attackers and defenders for the match being random, if the leading team at the Halftime Report is the defending team during the match, the winning team will receive a 1.5× clout bonus. Pro mode is unaffected by the Halftime Report, and Tricolor Turf Wars will not occur there. | In ''Splatoon 3'', there are three different Splatfest Battle modes, Open, Pro, and Tricolor.

A Splatfest is an event in the Splatoon series that periodically occurs for a limited time. In these events, players join a team (with the selection being different each Splatfest) and compete in Turf Wars to raise their teams' scores, ending with the winning team being announced and Super Sea Snails being awarded to all participants (with players on the winning team getting more Super Sea Snails). In Splatoon and Splatoon 2, each Splatfest featured two teams, such as Cats and Dogs, whereas in Splatoon 3, each Splatfest features three teams, such as Rock, Paper, and Scissors.
Background
![](http://cdn.wikimg.net/en/splatoonwiki/images/thumb/b/bc/S_Sunken_Scroll_24.png/300px-S_Sunken_Scroll_24.png)
When a Splatfest is held and its theme is not decided on by the organizers or similar, instead, they are held whenever the "Voice from on High", a fax machine, receives signals from the human era that are bounced back from a Voyager-esque spacecraft.[2] These are interpreted as divine questions from the gods, although the Inklings and Octolings don't always understand what the choices in question are, as there are no dogs or McDonald's, for example, in their current world. However, they still participate as they want to answer the question in some way.[2]
As Splatfests expand beyond the games and are not limited by their boundaries, the idols occasionally act as if they know that they are in a video game, and therefore their quotes might not always reflect the lore, as seen in Super Mushroom vs. Super Star, where Marina references the fact that it is Mario's 35th anniversary, despite the fact that humanity went extinct about 12,000 years ago.[3]
Description
Splatoon
![](http://cdn.wikimg.net/en/splatoonwiki/images/thumb/7/70/S_Cats_vs._Dogs_plaza_promo_1.jpg/267px-S_Cats_vs._Dogs_plaza_promo_1.jpg)
In Splatoon, Splatfests were recurring events hosted by the Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie. During this event, Inklings were able to choose between two teams and participate in battles against each other. Inklings were limited to two colors during the Splatfest, reflecting which side they were on. The clothing section of the equip screen also became locked and all players were forced to wear the Splatfest Tee, which changed in color and design based on an Inkling's chosen team, although they could still change hats, shoes, and weapons. Inkopolis Plaza and all the stages were decorated with a flood of Miiverse posts from the Splatfest/Festival tag on the Splatoon community, some of which took the form of neon signs, banners, and even fireworks. Nighttime also descended over Inkopolis and all Turf War stages. Fireworks went off periodically in the Plaza, and specks of light resembling fireflies or fire embers could be seen rising into the sky. Both Callie and Marie danced throughout the entire duration of this event, singing and dancing to City of Color.
For the most part, each Splatfest lasted 24 hours, during which time the region involved was isolated and Splatfest players would only face off against players from their own region. Meanwhile, all other regions continued to play amongst each other. A few choice Splatfests deviated from these rules. Super Sea Snails were awarded to participating players upon Splatfest's conclusion.
Splatoon 2
Splatfests returned in Splatoon 2, now hosted by Off the Hook's members, Pearl and Marina. Besides this, the structure was largely the same. Although Miiverse is not compatible with the Nintendo Switch, Splatoon 2's exclusive drawing feature allows for players to submit doodles that appear in-game as neon signs, banners, fireworks, or graffiti, as well as upload doodles to social media accounts. Inkopolis Square is decorated similarly to Inkopolis Plaza in the first game and all areas once again become locked in nighttime as Pearl and Marina perform Color Pulse in Inkopolis Square.
In a similar vein to Callie vs. Marie, Chaos vs. Order (also known as Final Fest: Splatocalypse) was heavily promoted as Splatoon 2's final Splatfest, featuring many special and unique characteristics, and would influence Splatoon 3. Despite this, four more Splatfests would be held afterwards, with three previous Splatfests returning in 2020 with largely unchanged dialogue (though Chicken vs. Egg contained new Japanese dialogue as it had not been held in Japan originally), followed by a new Splatfest in early 2021, Super Mushroom vs. Super Star. Dialogue for this Splatfest briefly mentions how the Splatocalypse was meant to be the final Splatfest, with no mention of the three rematches between them.
Splatoon 3
Splatfests are now hosted by Shiver, Frye, and Big Man of Deep Cut in Splatoon 3. They all parade through Splatsville for the duration of the Splatfest, which are now a battle between three different teams, each represented by a different member. Each member has their own Splatfest Float, however, they all combine to form one large stage that remains stationary after the Halftime Report. Deep Cut performs Anarchy Poisons on the first day of a Splatfest and Anarchy Rainbow on the second.
In Inkopolis Plaza, Callie and Marie once again perform during Splatfests, singing City of Color (2023) on the first day and Tomorrow's Nostalgia Today on the second. In Inkopolis Square, Pearl and Marina perform Color Pulse (2024) on the first day and We're So Back on the second.
Battles played between the time the Splatfest is announced and when it begins, known as the Splatfest Sneak Peek, also contribute to the final results.
In Splatoon 3, rather than their region being dictated by their Splatfest theme, players are instead given the option to set a Splatfest Region. The available Splatfest Regions and their respective languages are as follows:
- Japan
- Japanese
- Americas, Australia, and New Zealand[c]
- English
- French (Canada)
- Spanish (Latin America)
- Europe
- English
- Dutch
- French (France)
- German
- Italian
- Russian
- Spanish (Spain)
- Hong Kong and South Korea
- English
- Chinese (Simplified)
- Chinese (Traditional)
- Korean
The player selects their region upon booting up the game for the first time. They are able to change their region from the Lobby Terminal, but will not be able to change it for 60 days (1440 hours) after voting for a Splatfest, or after the Splatfest has begun. This timer will be reset to 60 days every time a player votes for a Splatfest, even if a prior prohibition period has not yet expired. Players who change their region during the Splatfest Sneak Peek must restart the game for the region change to take effect.
If a player's console is set to a language that is not available in their Splatfest Region, Splatfest-related text may appear in a different language, such as Anarchy Splatcast broadcasts and Splatfest teams.
- For Splatfests that are exclusive to regions outside of Japan, this dialogue will display in English if the system language is set to Japanese.
- For Japan-exclusive Splatfests, if the system language is set to English or another European language, the game will start normally in the selected language, but the Splatfest-specific dialogues will be displayed in Japanese. If the system language is set to Chinese (Simplified or Traditional) or Korean, the game will be forced to reload in Japanese; after receiving the final results announcement and receiving Super Sea Snails, the game will automatically reload back into the system language.
- For Splatfests shared by multiple regions, all languages' texts are accessible regardless of region. Additionally, matchmaking is not restricted between participating regions.
Outside of Splatfests, Splatfest Regions are also used for drawings from other players and for Monthly Challenges.
Preparation
![](http://cdn.wikimg.net/en/splatoonwiki/images/thumb/2/24/PreSplatfest.jpg/267px-PreSplatfest.jpg)
Before a Splatfest begins, Inkopolis Plaza, Inkopolis Square, and Splatsville undergo a variety of visual changes to prepare for the event. One week before a Splatfest in Splatoon, a voting booth appeared next to the Miiverse mailbox and the event's theme was announced by Callie and Marie during their Inkopolis News segment. Pearl and Marina similarly announce the event's theme a week prior during their Off the Hook segment in Splatoon 2, while the voting booth appears in the Square. The same is true for Splatoon 3, where Deep Cut will announce the theme approximately a week before the Splatfest begins. The voting booth will also appear at this time.
Players receive a themed Splatfest Tee, a piece of gear that is wearable only until the Splatfest ends when they join a team. Two days before a Splatfest in Splatoon, neon signs adorned with up and down pointing arrows appeared on walls and buildings, and the day before it took place, the Plaza became noticeably more crowded and two large trucks supporting stage scaffolding appeared in the area's center.
In Splatoon 2, one day before the Splatfest, a large performance stage appears in the Square, above the entrance to the battle lobby. On the tower behind the stage is a screen displaying the two battling teams' mascots. There are also large black lattice boards, which, later on, become the area where posts are featured in the form of neon signs.
Splatoon 3 has several changes for all three hub areas:
- After the announcement:
- Splatfest Floats for Deep Cut will begin to appear around Splatsville. In addition, a T-shirt booth along with the Splatfest voting board appears near the spawn point. Metal framing with neon signs and small flags also appear scattered around Splatsville, featuring posts seen in the city. The music heard near the lobby in Splatsville changes to be more festival-like.
- In Inkopolis Plaza, the Squid Sisters' trucks (with the screens on the side displaying test patterns) and a small lift platform appear in the center of the area, while the kitsune and tanuki statues and Inkopolis Tower are repainted in the colors of the first, second, and third team respectively. Neon signs and framing also appear around the plaza for displaying user posts, though they are turned off initially. The Splatfest voting board appears in front of Inkopolis Tower, in the same location it was in Splatoon, and the speakers near the tower begin playing Inkopolis News (Splatfest).
- In Inkopolis Square, numerous containers and the support columns for Off the Hook's stage appear in front of Deca Tower. Framing and neon signs for displaying user posts are set up throughout the square, though they are turned off until the Splatfest begins. The Splatfest voting board appears near the entrance to Shella Fresh, and an original instrumental dance remix of Color Pulse begins to play throughout the hub.
- Two days before the Splatfest, the time of day will change to evening:
- One day before the Splatfest:
- In Splatsville, more lanterns appear, and the torii gate-like structure near the spawn starts shining rainbow neon lights.
- During the two-hour period between the end of the Splatfest and the announcement of the final results:
- All three hubs revert back to their default time of day.
- A parked white van can be seen in the center area of Splatsville and Inkopolis Plaza. Several items can be seen surrounding the van such as folded sheets of tarp, carts holding wooden planks, and boxes of full garbage bags. In Splatsville, two excavators can be seen with one next to the Tableturf Battle Dojo, and another in the backstreet area. In Inkopolis Square, confetti can be seen scattered across the central area. There is no van in the Square, but the boxes of garbage still appear surrounding the amiibo box.
- Starting with the Shiver vs. Frye vs. Big Man Splatfest, a song performed by Deep Cut, Daybreaker Anthem, can be heard both in the Splatsville plaza as well as inside the lobby. In Inkopolis Plaza, Maritime Memory will play instead; in Inkopolis Square, Into the Light plays. Each of these three songs will continue to play in the Lobby of their respective hubs after the results are announced for the next 24 hours.
During a Splatfest, Regular and Ranked Battle options are not available, as they are temporarily replaced by the Splatfest Battle option; however, Private Battles and Salmon Run can still be accessed.[4]
Modes
“ | Oh, while you're deciding, we have more Splatfest findings to share. It seems there are two types of Splatfest battles: Open and Pro. Choose Open to squad up with your friends or play solo against randoms. Pro mode is serious business for solo players only. You can try both! | ” |
— @SplatoonNA on Twitter[5]
|
In Splatoon 2, there are two ways to enter Splatfest Battles as of version 4.0.0: Normal and Pro. Normal mode lets the player either start solo or battle with two to four friends by joining together in a private lobby before choosing to find other random players. Players from the same team can continue being matched up together in the same lobby if they choose to continue after the end of a match. Pro mode works identically to how Solo mode worked before this version; the player cannot team up with friends and is automatically matched with three other players. Players from the same team are not matched up in the same lobby after a match.
Before version 4.0.0, there were two other options for Splatfest Battles: Solo and Team. Solo mode worked like Splatfests in Splatoon; the player was automatically matched with three other players and battled against groups of four random players from the opposing team. However, as opposed to the original game, players from the same team were not automatically matched up in the same lobby after a match. Team mode required four players (that must be friends with someone from the same team who is in the lobby) to join a private lobby before being matched up against another team of four.[6]
In Splatoon 3, there are three different Splatfest Battle modes, Open, Pro, and Tricolor. Open and Pro are available for the entirety of the Splatfest, while Tricolor is only available after the Halftime Report. Open and Pro function identically to Normal and Pro mode in Splatoon 2. Players that chose Tricolor will play a Tricolor Turf War, with the attackers and defenders for the match being random, if the leading team at the Halftime Report is the defending team during the match, the winning team will receive a 1.5× clout bonus. Pro mode is unaffected by the Halftime Report, and Tricolor Turf Wars will not occur there.
Prior to version 2.0.0, only members of the second and third place teams could select the Tricolor Battle mode, where they were guaranteed to be on the attacking teams. The leading team would randomly play a Tricolor Battle when selecting Open mode, where they would always on the defending team.
Special Splatfests
In both Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3, some Splatfests have special effects, decorations, and properties that normal Splatfests do not have. These special effects can include a wide variety of things, such as special gear, special badges and Splashtags, modified music and sound effects, special decorations around the square or plaza, visual effects like confetti or camera filters, and different outfits for the idols. These changes usually align with the theme, and are also used when there is either a major holiday being celebrated (like Christmas, Easter, or Halloween), or if there is an important date in the game series being celebrated, like an anniversary. Splatfests that fall into this category include:
In Splatoon 2:
- Squid vs. Octopus (1-Year Anniversary)
- Players' characters matching their respective teams in battle, with Team Octopus players being Octolings whether or not they had already finished Octo Expansion
- Players kept the rest of their customization, such as gender, eye, and skin color, while having the default hairstyle for the character if they normally played as the opposite species.
- The lifetime ink coverage tracked in SplatNet 2 counted the turf inked as the species the player appeared as during battle; therefore, it only counted as an Inkling if the player was on Team Squid, even if they usually played as an Octoling.
- Confetti added to the opening screen and beginning of a match

Mechanics
Splatfest Power
![](http://cdn.wikimg.net/en/splatoonwiki/images/thumb/c/ce/S_Splatfest_Power_in_battle_EN.jpg/300px-S_Splatfest_Power_in_battle_EN.jpg)
- Main article: Power level
Splatfest Power was a feature introduced in version 2.6.0 of Splatoon as a way of tracking players' skill during Splatfests, replacing the Vibe meter. While Splatfest matchmaking was previously based on play styles, players were then matched based on similar Splatfest Power levels. It was initially determined by one's rank and may rise or fall depending on how well one did in battles.
After each Splatfest Battle, players on the winning team got roughly ten points toward their Splatfest Power and the losing team lost roughly ten, depending on the difference between the two teams' Splatfest power level, while the player on the winning team with the highest Splatfest Power gained an additional one to two points.
If the game takes too long to find an enemy team for Splatfest, members of the same team will battle each other with regular colors. Players will still earn Splatfest points for these, but no Clout will be awarded. Prior to version 4.0.0, the win was not counted when tallying up the results. The reason for this is likely to prevent the more popular team from having the decided advantage, as the more popular team will be more likely to have to battle each other.[7][8]
The top 100 players with the highest Splatfest Power were shown on SplatNet and on the social network sites of Splatoon.
Splatfest Power returned in Splatoon 2, where the player's initial Splatfest Power was based on their performance in their first seven matches. The top 100 players are displayed in SplatNet 2 and can be viewed under each Splatfest event. As of version 5.3.1, to adjust fairness in matchmaking and to prevent improper behavior, the names and levels of all players in a match are not shown on the lobby waiting screen and are replaced with question marks if the player's Splatfest Power is above 2,200. Due to this, players are able to battle against people blocked in their Nintendo Switch system settings as long as their power is also this high.
Splatfest Power returned in Splatoon 3, working similarly to Splatoon 2. The player's Splatfest Power is based in their performance in the first seven matches. However, the Splatfest Power is only available on Splatfest Battle Pro. On SplatNet 3 after the results of a Splatfest are in, the Splatfest Top 100 is now available, based on the player's Splatfest Power.
Clout
Clout is a mechanic introduced in version 4.0.0 of Splatoon 2 that is used to determine the winner in Splatfests as opposed to strictly using the win rate. Clout is counted separately for two of the available Splatfest Battle modes, Normal and Pro. Battling against the same Splatfest team does not contribute to the Clout score.
In Normal mode, players can multiply their Clout by a factor of up to ×2.0 based on the Synergy Bonus they get if they win the match. Synergy Bonuses are earned by having matching gear, weapons, and appearance, which are also tied into the team names players get during Splatfests. An example of the highest possible Synergy bonus would be if all four players were Inkling boys with the topknot hairstyle and dressed in the Soccer Headband and Blue Sea Slugs with the N-ZAP '85. The nickname would be "The Soccer-Loving Blue-Slug Gray-Zappin' Topknot gang."
Conditions | Synergy Bonus factor |
---|---|
Either hairstyle, gender, or species matching | + 0.1× |
Main weapon type matching | + 0.2× |
Sub weapons matching | + 0.2× |
Special weapons matching | + 0.2× |
All different main weapon types | + 0.2× |
Only two main weapons matching | + 0.1× (Counts only for the teammates matching) |
Only three main weapons matching | + 0.2× (Counts only for the teammates matching) |
All main weapons matching | + 0.3× |
Headgear genre matching | + 0.2× |
Headgear brand matching | + 0.2× |
Only two headgear matching | + 0.1× (Counts only for the teammates matching) |
Only three headgear matching | + 0.2× (Counts only for the teammates matching) |
All headgear matching | + 0.3× |
Shoe genre matching | + 0.2× |
Shoe brand matching | + 0.2× |
Only two shoes matching | + 0.1× (Counts only for the teammates matching) |
Only three shoes matching | + 0.2× (Counts only for the teammates matching) |
All shoes matching | + 0.3× |
The multiplier begins at ×1.0, where each matching element adds to the factor. For example, if a team has all matching hairstyles and all matching shoes, they will get a Synergy Bonus of ×1.0 + ×0.1 + ×0.3 = ×1.4.
10×, 100×, and 333× Battles
“ | SRL checking in now that the Splatfest is live. Did you know that a 10x Battle can randomly occur? Our Stats dept. is still calculating the probability of one happening, but if you see one, get ready to splat with everything you've got - you could earn 10x the Clout!
Winning a 10x Battle also earns everyone on your team a festival shell. And if you team up with other players with lots of festival shells, the odds of triggering a 100x Battle increase! What happens if both teams trigger a 100x Battle at the same time? An ultra-rare 333x Battle! Now, if you play in a 100x or a 333x Battle, you'll lose all your festival shells. But isn't it worth it for a chance at all that Clout? (Trust us - it is.) Plus, 100x or 333x winners will also get a Splatfest Star above their nickname for the rest of the Splatfest. So cool! |
” |
Normal, Open, and Pro modes occasionally feature 10×, 100× and 333× Battles, where the Clout score is multiplied by a factor of 10, 100 or 333 if the team won.
In Splatoon 2, 100× Battles occurred every ten minutes at their introduction, but around June 2019 were changed to occur every five minutes,[13] while 10× Battles occur more frequently. The 100× Battle rate was later increased again in celebration of Final Fest, where approximately ten 100× Battles can happen in a minute. This increased rate was still in place for the special encore Splatfests that were held afterwards as well as the Super Mushroom vs. Super Star Splatfest.[14][15] The Synergy Bonus is rounded to the nearest integer before the 10× or 100× bonus is applied. Losing a 10× or 100× Battle adds no bonus to Clout.
They function slightly differently in Splatoon 3. Here, 10× Battles are much more common and will reward the winning players with festival shells. These increase the odds of a 100× Battle occurring. 333× Battles can rarely occur if both teams manage to activate a 100× Battle at once, with the odds increasing depending on how many festival shells each player has. When winning a 100× or 333× Battle, the winning team will perform a unique victory animation. 10×, 100×, and 333× battles can not occur during a Tricolor Turf War. Winning a 10×, 100×, or 333× battle will reward the player with 1, 10 and 33 conch shells respectively.[16] After a player has won a 100x or 333x battle, a Splatfest Star will be displayed above their head in battles until the Splatfest has ended.[12] The fish-like creature in Splatfest Stars is similar in appearance to the combined Splatfest Floats.
In Splatoon 2, the winners of both 10× and 100× battles are featured in a newsflash that is displayed as text in the lobby, as text on the SplatNet 2 app, and as an image on the Splatfest booth in the Square. Images of 100× winners are also displayed on SplatNet 2. Newsflashes of players that win a 100× Battle are displayed for all players of their Splatfest, while newsflashes of players that win a 10× Battle are displayed for themselves and their friends who are playing during the same Splatfest. If a player won a 100× Battle, the newsflash of their victory would display on their session for around half an hour before displaying winners of other battles. The news images of the winners from these battles showed the players striking different poses, where the winners from a 100× Battle would be holding a large check.
In Splatoon 3, as of the version 2.0.0 update, the winners of 10×, 100×, and 333× battles appear at their Pledge Box once again. A new feature was also added that allows 100× and 333× battle winners to board a Splatfest Float with their team to take commemorative pictures.[17]

As an expansion of Anarchy Splatcast during Splatfests, Deep Cut is broadcasting straight from the front lines of Splatfests to announce special updates.[18] As of version 3.0.0 update, when the player is in the lobby, announcements of a 10×, 100×, and 333× Battle victory and its victors are displayed on the player's Sea-Cucumber Phone.

Splatfest team names
Splatoon 2
- Main article: List of Splatoon 2 Splatfest team names
Splatoon 2's version 4.0.0 introduced special team names for individual teams of four (not to be confused with the overall Splatfest team) which were assigned if the whole team has matching gear, weapons, or appearance.
Splatfest team names are separated into five main categories, each of which has one slot in the final team name, meaning there can only be up to five name parts in a team name. Under these categories are a number of sub-series that determine what the displayed name unit should be if there are more matching properties within a category.
Main category | Sub-series and priority |
---|---|
Headgear | Headgear name > brand > genre |
Shoes | Shoe name > brand > genre |
Weapons | Main weapons > specials ? subs ? weapon types ? different weapon types[d] |
Player customization | Hairstyles > species > gender |
Group name | (Automatically assigned if the player has any of the previous categories) |
For example, if everyone on the team has matching hairstyles, species, and gender, the game will only choose the hairstyle for the team's name. If a team only has matching species and gender, the game will choose species for the team's name.
The Synergy Bonus and Splatfest team names are closely related as they are both determined by the same factors, but not everything that warrants a Synergy Bonus has an equivalent team name. Some bonuses are earned by just having two or three teammates with matching properties, while Splatfest team names are only earned if all teammates match.
Splatoon 3
- Main article: List of Splatoon 3 Splatfest team names
During a Splatfest in Splatoon 3, if every member of a team of four has matching gear, weapons, or appearance, a Splatfest team name is generated. Almost each and every piece of gear, weapon, or appearance warrants a unique title, which can be mixed with other titles in order to generate a one-of-a-kind team name.
Many changes have been made to the possible Splatfest team names from the transition of Splatoon 2 to Splatoon 3. This includes changes to returning gear titles, the addition of new gear and gear brands, the addition of new main weapons and weapon classes, the addition of new sub and special weapons, and the addition of new player customization options. Although there have been many changes to the naming system, the amount of unique Splatfest team names are nearly endless.
Splatfest team names are separated into five main categories, each of which has one slot in the final team name, meaning there could only be up to five name parts in a team name. Under these categories are several sub-categories which determine what the displayed name unit would be if there were more matching properties within a main-category.
Main category | Sub-categories and priority |
---|---|
Headgear | Headgear name > genre > brand |
Shoes | Shoe name > genre > brand |
Weapons | Main weapons > weapon class > specials > subs > different weapon classes |
Player customization | Hairstyles > species |
Group name | (A random ending title assigned if the team has any of the previous categories) |
For example, if everyone on the team had matching Subs, Specials, and weapon classes, the game would only choose the weapon class for the team name. If a team only had matching subs and specials, the game with chose the special weapon for the team name.
Synergy Bonuses and Splatfest team names are closely related as both can be determined by the same factors, but not everything that warrants a synergy bonus has an equivalent team name. Some synergy bonuses are earned by having only two or three teammates with matching properties, while Splatfest team names are only obtainable if all teammates have matching properties.
Conch Clash
![](http://cdn.wikimg.net/en/splatoonwiki/images/thumb/e/ec/S3_Splatfest_Conch_Clash_EN.jpg/300px-S3_Splatfest_Conch_Clash_EN.jpg)
Starting in Splatoon 3's Sizzle Season 2024, a Conch Clash may occur when both teams in the battle are on the same Splatfest team. Winning a Conch Clash rewards players with 1, 10 or 33 conch shells, similarly to 10×, 100× and 333× Battles.[16]
Reward tiers
Super Sea Snails are awarded to participants based on the size of their team, matches won, and ground covered, which dictate each player's Splatfest Title.
Splatoon
Title | Total EXP required | Super Sea Snails | |
---|---|---|---|
Winning team | Losing team | ||
[Team Name] Fanboy/Fangirl (NA/EU/OC)[e] Normal [Team Name] Boy/Girl[f] (EU/OC)[b] |

---|---|
0 - 1399 | +3 |
1400 - 1499 | +4 |
1500 - 1599 | +5 |
1600 - 1699 | +6 |
1700+ | +7 |
Splatfest EXP was earned by participating in and winning matches. Winning a match earned the player points based on their Splatfest Power, and a participation bonus was based on how many Battle Points worth of ground was inked during the match. Players who covered 200–399p worth of ground earned 1 EXP, and 400p or above granted 2 EXP. The player on the winning team with the highest Splatfest Power gained an additional 2 EXP. Players could earn a maximum of 11 EXP per match in the case that their team won, they had the highest Splatfest Power among their team, and they covered at least 400p worth of ground during the match.
One hour after Splatfest concluded, the results were announced during an Inkopolis News broadcast. Results were based on team popularity (the percentage of the vote each team received) and wins (the percentage of matches each team won). As of 2015, win percentage was worth 6× as much as popularity. Players were awarded Super Sea Snails based on the Splatfest Title they earned, and players on the winning team earned more Super Sea Snails than those on the losing team.
To collect prizes, players had to log into Splatoon before the next Splatfest theme was announced, as the new Splatfest announcement overrode the announcement of winners from the previous Splatfest.
Splatoon 2
Before version 4.0.0, the experience meter was the same as in Splatoon. The experience meter, inking bonuses, and win bonuses were increased by a factor of ten to allow whole number values for the new Synergy Bonuses.
Title | Total EXP required | Super Sea Snails | |
---|---|---|---|
Winning team | Losing team | ||
[Team Name] Fanboy/Fangirl | – | 3 | 2 |
[Team Name] Fiend | 100 | 5 | 3 |
[Team Name] Defender | 350 | 9 | 7 |
[Team Name] Champion | 850 | 16 | 13 |
[Team Name] King/Queen | 1849 | 24 | 21 |
The win bonus for the Splatfest title EXP points was based on what the opponents' Splatfest Power is.
Splatfest Power Level | Winning EXP points |
---|---|
0 - 1399 | +30 |
1400 - 1699 | +40 |
1700 - 1799 | +50 |
1800 - 1899 | +60 |
1900+ | +70 |
Splatoon 3
The experience meter functions similar to how it does in Splatoon 2: earning a higher title leads to more Super Sea Snails at the end of the Splatfest. In Splatoon 3, upon reaching the Ruler title, players can continue refilling the 999 point meter to earn the title of Ruler +number, where number is the amount of times it has been refilled. For example, refilling it once changes it to Ruler +1, refilling it twice changes it to Ruler +2 etc. This additional number has no effect on the rewards. The titles were also changed to remove any gendered terms.
Title | Total EXP required | Super Sea Snails | |
---|---|---|---|
1st place | 2nd & 3rd place | ||
[Team Name] Fan | – | 3 | 2 |
[Team Name] Fiend | 100 | 5 | 3 |

Splatfest Power Level | Winning EXP points | Losing EXP points |
---|---|---|
0 - 1399 | +30 | +10 |
1400 - 1699 | +40 | +10 |

Victory
Splatoon
The final score was calculated based both on popularity and on wins. The formula in Splatoon was as follows:
Final Score (out of 700) = Popularity Percentage + (Win Percentage × 6)
When the Squid Sisters announced the results, the highest of the popularity and win percentages were both individually highlighted before the final results were shown.
The formula used to use Win Percentage × 4
, but this was changed in version 2.2.0.
The formula was at first Win Percentage × 2
, but this was changed in version 2.0.0.
Splatoon 2
In Splatoon 2, the final score is a tally of how many categories each team had a majority percentage in. There are three categories:
- Popularity
- Normal Mode Clout
- Pro Mode Clout
Popularity is a straight percentage of how many joined each Splatfest team, while Clout is calculated as the average of each player's total Clout.
When Off the Hook announces the results, the highest of each category is individually highlighted before the final results are shown, just as in the previous game.
Before version 4.0.0, the latter two categories were Solo Wins and Team Wins.
Splatoon 3
In Splatoon 3, each category has scoring values for first and second place attached to it, with the final score being the sum of the amount of points won in each category. A maximum of 580 points can be scored. There are five categories:
- Sneak Peek (First place: 90 points, second place: 45 points)
- Popularity (First place: 70 points, second place: 35 points)
- Open Mode Clout (First place: 120 points, second place: 60 points)
- Pro Mode Clout (First place: 120 points, second place: 60 points)
- Tricolor Mode Clout (First place: 180 points, second place: 90 points)
Sneak Peek refers to conch shells collected for a team. Popularity is a straight percentage of how many joined each Splatfest team, while Clout is calculated as the average of each player's total Clout.
When Deep Cut announces the results, the highest of each category is individually highlighted before the final results are shown, just as in the previous games. The points are distributed in a way that a tie for 1st place is not possible, though there can be a tie for 2nd.
Before version 3.1.0, the Sneak Peek was worth 8 points, Popularity was worth 10 points, and Tricolor Clout was worth 15 points. Before version 2.0.0, there were only four categories, with Tricolor Clout being combined with Open Clout. Open Clout was worth 15 points while the other three categories were worth 10 for a total of 45 points.
Prior to version 7.0.0, points were only given for winning a category. These were the amount of points given for winning each category:
- Sneak Peek (7 points)
- Popularity (8 points)
- Open Mode Clout (12 points)
- Pro Mode Clout (12 points)
- Tricolor Mode Clout (18 points)

Statistics
The teams with the largest and lowest popularity scores to ever win a Splatfest in each game are as follows:
- In Splatoon, Team Night Owl and Team Barbarian won with 71% and 23%, respectively.
- In Splatoon 2, Team Ice Cream and Team Film both won with 76%, while Team Mayo in America won with 26.85%.
- In Splatoon 3, Team Ghost and Team Handshake won with 63.02% and 18.45%, respectively.
The team with the overall highest popularity score in the series' history was Team Ninja (EU/OC) with 77%, while the team with the lowest popularity score ever was Team Bigfoot with 8.69%.
Marina currently holds the record of the longest Splatfest win streak, winning 7 Splatfests in a row in Europe. On the other hand, Frye holds the record of the longest losing streak, being 12 in all regions except Japan.
Delays
While the first Splatfest event in Japan (Rice vs. Bread) went by flawlessly, the first North American Splatfest (Cats vs. Dogs) was delayed. The reason given was because of matchmaking issues with Japanese players.[19] The original schedule for the event was from 20 June 2015 at 13:00 UTC for 24 hours. Some days later, it was revealed that it would be moved to 4 July 2015 at 07:00 UTC.
The first European Splatfest event (Rock vs. Pop), which was meant to start on 27 June 2015 at 22:00 UTC, was equally postponed for one week so that it would take place on the same day as the North American one.
Later, Pokémon Red vs. Pokémon Green and Pokémon Red vs. Pokémon Blue were supposed to have their results announced at the same time across all regions, despite the different start and ending times. Initially, the results were going to be announced on 21 February 2016 at 07:00 UTC. However, despite notification of Callie and Marie's announcement, servers ended up being under maintenance half an hour before this, preventing the results from being received. Eventually, an hour later than intended, the servers were running again and players were able to view the results.

Trivia
![](http://cdn.wikimg.net/en/splatoonwiki/images/thumb/a/ac/S3_Sticker_SQDNOV_character.png/55px-S3_Sticker_SQDNOV_character.png)
- Some randomly selected players are able to join as early as five minutes before the official start time for faster matchmaking.[7]
- In Splatoon, when Judd danced on his box, the pillow he slept on disappeared. It reappeared after the Splatfest when Judd went back to sleep. In Splatoon 2, he and Li'l Judd are moved to a different location while a Splatfest is going, and in Splatoon 3 he is always found inside the lobby, where he does not dance.
- Many characters will bob their head or start dancing while a Splatfest occurs, like Cap'n Cuttlefish and Spyke in Splatoon, Marie and Murch in Splatoon 2, and the Staff in Splatoon 3.
- The Fox and Tanuki statues in Inkopolis Plaza each represent opposite sides during a Splatfest. The Fox's bib and Tanuki's shirt changed color to match their team, representing Callie and Marie's teams respectively.
- Similarly, in Inkopolis Square, the tortoise and origami crane statues on top of Headspace and The Shoal change colors during Splatfests, changing color to match Pearl and Marina's teams respectively.
- While the bird, snake, and pig statues in Splatsville do not change colors during a Splatfest, it is suggested by the song Anarchy Poisons that they represent Shiver, Frye, and Big Man respectively. However, it is the Tableturf Battle opponents Baby Jelly, Cool Jelly, and Aggro Jelly that change their bodies' colors to match the teams that Shiver, Frye, and Big Man are representing respectively.
- Similarly, in Inkopolis Square, the tortoise and origami crane statues on top of Headspace and The Shoal change colors during Splatfests, changing color to match Pearl and Marina's teams respectively.
- According to dialogue in the localizations in Splatoon 2, Splatfest rules state that the option that won a Splatfest is legally better than the one that lost. This even holds true if Splatfest results contradict scientific consensus, as evidenced by Pearl's comments at the conclusion of the Chicken vs. Egg Splatfest.
- In the same dialogue, Pearl refers to this rule as article 3, section 2 of Splatfest law.
- Marina suggested during the opening banter for Squid vs. Octopus that such a Splatfest could be "dangerous" due to Splatfest law. However, in the post-banter, no mention was made of any repercussions.
- In Splatoon and Splatoon 2, the player's clothing defaults back to the Basic Tee if they are an Inkling, or the Fresh Octo Tee if they are an Octoling, but in Splatoon 3, the player instead wears the Tri-Shred Tee regardless if they are Inkling or Octoling.
- After having selected a team and using the Splatfest booth in Splatoon 2, it is possible to view the winners of 10× and 100× battles. When viewing these before the Splatfest has begun, the screen shows no players, and placeholder text for the team name is shown instead as [Group] [Property] "Черный шлем для экстрима, Фиолетовые сушитапки 750с и Шпионский зонт «Родиччи»" — Russian for "Matte Bike Helmet, Purple Iromaki 750s and Undercover Sorella Brella" — while the player names are 0123456789 with each player having the Rainmaker as their weapon.[20]
- Each Splatfest art in Splatoon 2 has a small signature next to it at the bottom left side, which denotes which artist made that artwork. For example, Seita Inoue made the Retro vs. Modern Splatfest art as his signature is present on the art.
- In Splatoon, the Battle Dojo used the nighttime theme during a Splatfest, being the only non-Splatfest mode to do so.
