File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Ay! Ay! (Breaking news, you two!)
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png Oh? What's got your fins aflapping?
File:S3 Icon Frye.png Shiver! You oughta know. It's that time!
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png AAAY! Ay. (SPLATFEEEEEEST! Ahem. It's time for a Splatfest.)
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png Ooo! I like a Splatfest.
File:S3 Icon Frye.png YEAHHH! TIME TO PARTY!
File:S3 Icon Frye.png What's the theme? What's the theme?
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Ay... (Hold your seahorses... The info's still downloading...)
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png I've got it! The theme is... Huh. Well, THAT is fascinating...
File:S3 Icon Frye.png Ugh, hurry up and spill it! You're hogging the Splatfest vibes!
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png Chill. I'm getting ready to announce it. Ahem...
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Aaay, aaay! (C'mon, c'mon...)
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png Without further ado, this Splatfest theme will be none other than...
File:S3 Icon Frye.png Drumroll! Budda-dudda-budda-dudda-BAM!
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png What's your favorite chocolate? Dark, milk, or white?
File:S3 Icon Frye.png YOOOOOO! Is this because Team Sweet just rocked everyone's taste buds?
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png Not so fast! Dark Chocolate is the best. It's rich and sublime instead of just...sweet.
File:S3 Icon Frye.png JUST sweet? How dare you. Milk chocolate's perfectly balanced! So mellow and creamy.
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Ay! (If we're talking creamy, don't forget the velvety goodness of white chocolate!)
File:S3 Icon Frye.png Ugh! Why can't we pick more than one? This is torture! I QUIT!
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png Whoa, calm down. We're talking about chocolate. It's yummy! It's the best!
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png And the best part of chocolate is the cacao, right? So dark chocolate easily wins.
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png And while other chocolates are mere trifles, dark chocolate has anti...somethings.
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png I don't remember what, but dark chocolate is good, so whatever it's against is bad.
File:S3 Icon Frye.png Is that how science works?! I'd say all that dark chocolate had poisoned your brain.
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Ay! Ay! (I believe in you, Shiver! It's not too late to turn from the dark side!)
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png Hmph. I thought I was onto something there and about to win you two over...
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Ay. (Back to chocolate... White chocolate is so smooth. Like a gentle wave of flavor!)
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Ay? (And did you know they use it to make other chocolate flavors, like matcha?)
File:S3 Icon Frye.png Ooo, I love me some matcha. I guess white chocolate is actually pretty legit!
File:S3 Icon Frye.png Awww, but I like everything about chocolate. The smell, the sweetness, the creaminess...
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Ay? (So, which one of those is most important to you?)
File:S3 Icon Frye.png All of them. That's why milk chocolate is the best!
File:S3 Icon Frye.png Don't you see? Milk chocolate is the perfect blend of all of chocolate's best qualities!
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png We're never going to agree on this.
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Ay? Ay? Ay! (Us? Disagree? I'm shocked!)
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png Let's up the stakes. Losers have to get the winner their choice of chocolate. Deal?
File:S3 Icon Frye.png Fine by me. I'll be the one getting all that sweet, sweet chocolate!
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Ay! Ay... (Or it could be me! Just saying...)
During the Splatfest
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png And that's all for now. Make sure to get your votes in!
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Ay! Ay. (Don't forget your Splatfest Tee! Check the Equip menu after you vote.)
Splatfest Results
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Ay! (White Chocolate glides to victory!)
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png Whaaat?! Run those numbers again!
File:S3 Icon Frye.png Gyaaah! I was sure we'd win, I could taste it!
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Ay! (Thanks, fellow white-chocolate fans! You flowed as smooth as cocoa butter!)
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png Hmph. Team Dark Chocolate proved their worth well enough. I can't say i'm bitter.
File:S3 Icon Frye.png Team Milk Chocolate was looking pretty sweet out there too!
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Ay? Ay? (You remember the deal, right? The losers buy chocolate for the winner?)
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png Ughhh, twist my tentacles, why don't you.
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png It's not as if we don't give each other chocolate this time every year anyway.
File:S3 Icon Frye.png Hey, yeah! What makes this different from every other time I get Big Man chocolate?
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png Aaay... (Uh, Frye, I HOPE it's different from the chocolate you gave me last year.)
File:S3 Icon Frye.png You mean the chocolate-covered onion?
File:S3 Icon Shiver.png There's a chocolate-fondue place nearby that'll let you bring anything. Shall we?
File:S3 Icon Big Man.png A-ay?! (If I give you both chocolate too, can we eat something normal for once?!)

Trivia
- This Splatfest happened to fall near Valentine's Day, which is often celebrated by giving chocolates to loved ones.
- This was the second Splatfest in Splatoon 3 to have a food theme, with Spicy vs. Sweet vs. Sour being the first.
- Though previous Splatoon 3 Splatfests have had food themed options.
- As evidenced by the announcement dialogue, this Splatfest's theme seems to be a result of Team Sweet winning. However, the events of the Spicy vs. Sweet vs. Sour Splatfest were not originally referenced in the Japanese dialogue.
- The visual bug wherein Octolings appeared to have Inkling eyes and ears if they boarded a Splatfest Float persists from the last Splatfest event. This glitch was patched out in version 3.0.0.
- During Tricolor Battles, in the bar depicting turf percentages, Team Dark Chocolate's color was completely black, unlike the ink color. This was likely done to look like the color of real life dark chocolate, to match the colors of milk and white chocolate.
