Baby Chicks vs. Li'l Bunnies vs. Bear Cubs, also known as SpringFest, is an upcoming Splatfest in Splatoon 3. It was announced on social networks on 19 February 2024,[1][2] with the theme and date later being announced on 5 April 2024.
Details
As a special Splatfest, SpringFest is accompanied by several cosmetic changes to the game, as well as new gear:
- Splatsville, Inkopolis Plaza, and Inkopolis Square are decorated with a spring theme. These decorations include flowers, artificial cherry trees, paper parasols, Easter eggs, and colorful Moai statues. The kitsune and tanuki statues in Inkopolis Plaza are wearing flower crowns.
- Deep Cut, the Squid Sisters, and Off the Hook wear special outfits.
- Shiver's eyebrows and hair change to light green, the latter having a gradient to teal towards the tips. She wears a pink sakura earring in place of her usual ones, and a sakura crown in place of her headband. Her shawl has a teal-to-pink gradient, and a large, aqua flower-shaped pendant with white dots in the center and dark green tassels instead of her usual one. Her legwear also fades from teal to pink from her pants to her shoes, which have pink soles. Furthermore, her fingertips are colored aqua.
- Frye's hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, and pants all feature a pink-to-aqua gradient; she also wears red lipstick. Her top and shawl both change to coral red, and the squid-shaped clip on her belt is replaced with a large white floral one with pink polka-dots. Her earrings and hairpiece are replaced with new ones styled after hanami dango; her fingertips and toe tips are colored pink.
- Big Man's body sheen has a teal-to-pink gradient. He has two red circles painted on his cheeks resembling blush marks, and his usual headpiece is replaced with a large one made of three green flowers with pink dots connected with lines painted on the insides; the rope hanging from it is also pink.
- Callie and Marie wear pastel versions of their normal outfits, with both of them having several accents in the opposite's color. Callie wears a pastel pink romper with all her usually white accessories colored aqua, while Marie wears a pastel green dress, with all her usually white accessories colored pink. Both of them wear striped tights; Marie's usual headpiece is replaced with a green Easter egg shell with pink markings. Callie has an aqua flower mark painted on her right cheek, while Marie has a lime green one on her left.
- Pearl wears a Gothic metal-inspired outfit with a spiky dark purple crown and studded collar alongside her usual gloves, and a long, low-cut black T-shirt with a white design that represents an Inkling and an Octoling's tentacles side by side. The straps of her top are visible over her otherwise bare shoulders. She wears fishnet stockings over black pantyhose, and high platform boots with chains wrapped around the ankles and skull designs on the tongues. The tips of Pearl's tentacles seem to feature pastel green spots.
- Marina wears a pair of headphones with a wire-mesh pattern on the ears, a white sporty bralette, and a black mesh garment on top of it, covering her neck and the top of her cleavage, and reaching down to the middle and ring fingers of her hands. She wears long white hip-hop pants with plain black ankle boots, and her tentacles take on a sea green-to-pink gradient. Her fingertips and navel piercing are colored purple.
- A special news article in the Nintendo Switch news rewards players with four unique pieces of headgear and nine unique pairs of shoes:

| Pinnuccia «Ma davvero?! Non ci avevo proprio pensato, Miss Ovvietà!» (Really?! I couldn't even think of that, Miss Obvious!) |
Morena «"Tenero" equivale a "soffice" o "morbido". Sono tutte facce della stessa medaglia.» ("Cute" equals "fluffy" or "soft". They're all sides of the same coin.) |

|
| Pinnuccia «Se sono veloci, mi sa che non restano molto a farsi coccolare. No, io ho un'altra idea!» (If they're fast, I think they don't stay in place that much to be cuddled. No, I have another idea!) |
||
| Pinnuccia «Scelgo i pulcini. Se li cresci nel modo giusto, potrebbero deporre delle uova d'oro.» (I choose chicks. If you raise them the right way, they could lay golden eggs.) |
Morena «Pfff. Se vuoi le uova d'oro, fatti qualche turno di lavoro nel tempo libero.» (Pfff. If you want golden eggs, go have some work shift in your free time.) |
|
| Mantaleo «Man? (Scusate, ma non abbiamo detto che anche la morbidezza è importante?)» (Ay? (Excuse me, but haven't we said that softness is also important?)) |

Trivia
- This Splatfest will be the fourth special Splatfest in Splatoon 3.
- It will also be the third Splatfest event to cosmetically alter the hub, following Splatoween and FrostyFest.
- The initial announcement of this Splatfest on the Splatoon NA Twitter featured an image with slightly altered wording compared to other English-language announcements for both the question and the name of Team Fist Bump (see 'Artwork' above). The in-game announcement for North America later featured the same wording as the prior Europe and Oceania announcements.
- SpringFest is currently the only special Splatfest theme featured in both Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3 that Off the Hook was present for both times.
- Off the Hook's outfits for Splatoon 3's SpringFest are directly based on concept artwork for their Splatoon 3 designs, visible in The Art of Splatoon 3.
- The headpieces Shiver and Frye wear may be a reference to Flowers vs. Dumplings, a Splatfest from Splatoon 2 featuring similar colors and theming.
- Promotional screenshots posted on Twitter before the Splatfest showed Shiver, Callie, and Marie simply wearing green and pink versions of their usual outfits, instead of the ones they were confirmed to wear at the Splatfest's announcement on April 5. Furthermore, the Splatfest Tee of the Inkling in the foreground of the same screenshot as Shiver has an egg design on the front instead of the Li'l Bunnies icon, possibly to avoid spoilers. The Splatfest Tees shown in the promotional picture of the newly arriving gear lack team icons altogether.
- Big Man states the bear illustration seems familiar in announcement dialogue, alluding to Mr. Grizz and the finale of Return of the Mammalians.
