Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
The Splattershot appears as Inkling's neutral special and in a few normals in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, alongside a variety of other weapons that they use in their attacks.
For their neutral special, they shoot projectiles with the Splattershot at the opponent to deal damage. This also coats opponents in ink but does not ink the ground. The projectiles will decrease in range as the Inkling runs low on ink, and the Splattershot will not fire if the Inkling is out of ink. Similarly, for their rapid jab, the Inkling shoots the Splattershot, creating spurts at the muzzle which damages and inks opponents. This move also stops functioning when out of ink. For their forward throw, the Inkling fires a single shot directly into the opponent, covering them slightly and using a small amount of ink. In their other normals, they physically swing and hit opponents with the Splattershot itself. These moves do not cost ink.
Trivia
- The Hero Shot, a modified version of the Splattershot, is the default weapon in Octo Valley and the Inkling Squid amiibo challenges as well as one of the nine hero weapons in Octo Canyon. However, it cannot be used anywhere else.
- The Splattershot was the first playable main weapon, available in the E3 2014 Splatoon demo. At that time it was called the "Ink Shot".[4]
- Furthermore, its sub weapon was the Splat Bomb and its special weapon was the Inkzooka. No weapon in the Splattershot series has this combination, with the Tentatek Splattershot and Wasabi Splattershot using the beta special and sub weapons respectively. This combination later appeared on the Octobrush Nouveau, Soda Slosher, and Sploosh-o-matic 7. In addition, the Splat Bomb with a similar special appeared on the Tentatek Splattershot in Splatoon 2.
- It was also the first main weapon to be revealed to the public in the history of the Splatoon series.
- In Splatoon and Splatoon 2, the Splattershot has the most variants out of all main weapons, with a total of five in both games.
- In Splatoon 2, the Splattershot's model from the first game can still be seen when using the original Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy amiibo.
- In the Splatoon 2 Switch event demo and Splatoon 2 Global Testfire, the Splattershot had the Tenta Missiles; in the final game, it instead has the Splashdown. The sub weapon remained as Burst Bombs. The beta combination was given to the Splat Dualies, Hero Dualie Replicas, Mini Splatling, and Grim Range Blaster, and the Tenta Missiles appear on the Kensa Splattershot.
- In the Splatoon manga bonus chapter "Splattershot Jr.", the character Splattershot Jr. wins a Golden Splattershot with the help of Team Blue.
- According to a diagram in The Art of Splatoon 2, the hole under the nozzle of the Splattershot is for air intake.
