Barnacle & Dime is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon 3. It is located inside a supercenter mall. It is also one of the stages that can have Tricolor Turf Wars.
Layout
The spawn region is fairly wide with another drop down as the main spawn region. To the far right is a path that goes over an uninkable and then leads to some high ground allowing poking to the middle of the stage. Going straight leads to another drop going to a pit with a block allowing access to the spawn. The middle of the stage features a slightly lower area to the left as another way to enter the middle of the stage. Going straight leads to slightly higher ground with some forms of cover. The center of the stage features some uninkable blocks around the edges and an inkable diagonal box in the very center.
Ranked Battle Terrain
In Ranked Battles, specifications for the terrain or placement of objects are different between the modes; these changes create new paths or new objects to take cover behind.
Splat Zones
The Splat Zone is located in the center of the stage. The stage is unchanged.
Tower Control
The Tower starts in the center of the stage, replacing the blocks normally there. From there, it goes left onto the raised area and then straight before turning left again onto the opponents raised area then straight to the goal. The raised areas on the right of the spawn have been shrunk, only going halfway as far and the ground next to the uninkable is around the same level as the uninkable. An Inkrail has been added at the very end of this area.
| In Splatoon 3, checkpoints have been added: | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Checkpoint | Location | Timer (Seconds) | Progress Amount | ||
| Before | After | Total | |||
| 1 | The first checkpoint is located slightly left from the tower's starting position. | 7.5 | 90 | 75 | 15 |
| 2 | The second checkpoint is located at the top of the opposing team's ramp that enters mid. | 6 | 45 | 33 | 12 |
Rainmaker
The Rainmaker is located on the stack of blocks in the middle. The checkpoint is located behind the raised area in the middle, before entering the opponent's base. The stage is most similar to the Tower Control layout, except for adding more cover in spawn and an uninkable staircase allowing another way to the pedestal.
Clam Blitz
The Clam Basket is located on each team's pit with a bump being added. The right side is similar to in Rainmaker but the box and grate is there next to the uninkable. The small pieces of cover is replaced by the Clam Basket and the Sponge from Tower Control is present.
