In Ranked Battle, 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 spawn point is set at the highest point and far edges of the stage by the streets surrounding the school. Going to the right leads to the greater portion of the stage while going forwards leads to a narrow alleyway that drops down to one of the side gardens. The stage features many different levels and elevations, with the area closest to the spawn point taking place between buildings. In front of the building after leaving the spawn is a lot with a clam statue, which can be accessed from on top of the building. The only way to access this lot normally is from an uninkable ramp behind a wall to the corresponding team's right side. Beyond each team's statue lot is the main plaza, which is a flat battle area with the main obstacle being the tall display at the center of the map which can be climbed on. To each team's left is a ramp leading to the lower garden which contains a tree and a block as obstacles. When in the opposing team's statue lot, there is a single wall on a building that can be inked to reach up and into the team's spawn area.
The Splat Zone is located at the center of the map, both the area on ground level and on top of the display case will count towards the zone. The only change made to the map is the inclusion of a single inkable block in the lower lot, creating an additional means of getting to the center of the map.


=== [[Tower Control]] ===
==Ranked Battle terrain==
The Tower is located at the center of the map in place of the display case. Two large inkable layered blocks have been added in the center of the map to both provide coverage and a vantage point. Additional ramps have been added in the lower lot for easier access back to the center map as well as two more prominent ramps in each team's statue lot which allow much easier access into each team's spawn areas. A block has been added to allowing another path into the opposing team's statue lot as well as another on the left going up the building. The tower will travel left around the wall, up the ramp into the opposing team's statue lot before going across the entire thing and finishing by going up the ramp and stopping in the parking lot in front of spawn.
In [[Ranked Battle]]s, specifications for the terrain or placement of objects are different between the [[mode]]s; these changes create new paths or new objects to take cover behind.


Checkpoints:
===[[Splat Zones]]===
*The first checkpoint is located between the wall in front of each team's uninkable ramp and the new block.

*The second checkpoint is located in the opposing team's statue lot.


=== [[Rainmaker]] ===
===[[Tower Control]]===
The Rainmaker is located at the center of the map in place of the display case. The goal is located in the parking lot in front of the opposing team's spawn. Much of the map is similar to Tower Control, the large blocks in the center of the map are present as well as all the ramps. The additional block that allows access to the opposing team's statue lot is removed but another inkable wall is added by the ramp in front of the unikable ramp.

Additional ramps have been added in the lower lot for easier access back to the center, as well as two more prominent ramps in each team's statue lot, which allow much easier access into each team's spawn areas. A block has been added, allowing another path into the opposing team's statue lot, as well as another on the left going up the building. The block that outlooked the middle of the map is smaller, and a wall has been added on the grates so they can't be used as a vantage point. The Tower travels left around the wall, up the ramp into the opposing team's statue lot before going across the entire area and finishing by going up the ramp and stopping in the parking lot in front of the spawn point.


=== [[Clam Blitz]] ===
{| class="wikitable sitecolor-s2"
The basket on this map is located at the far back of the opposing team's statue lot. The map is fairly unchanged from Tower Control with the exception of the removal of the large ramps that allow easy access into the opposing team's spawn area. The platform block allowing a quick root into the statue lot has been expanded.

===[[Rainmaker]]===
The [[Rainmaker (weapon)|Rainmaker]] is located at the center of the stage in place of the display case. The goal is located in the parking lot in front of the opposing team's spawn point. The large inkable blocks, the ramps, and the wall to the left are present in this mode, but the block on the right and the wall on the grates are not included. There is another inkable wall, however, the block that overlooks the middle of the stage got bigger, and the statues in the lot have been rotated 90 degrees to the left.
 
In ''[[Splatoon 3]]'', the climbable wall in front of the uninkable ramp is removed. The checkpoint is located there. The inkable wall to the left is removed and an Inkrail is added to the left of it to allow access to the other team's raised area.
 
===[[Clam Blitz]]===
The basket on this stage is located at the far back of the opposing team's statue lot. The 2 inkable walls are present, the display glass has been replaced by a bumper, the large inkable structures have been rotated 180 degrees, the platforms from Tower Control have been expanded, the block that outlooks the center is only inkable from the front and top, both ramps are gone, and the ramp that leads to the same area as the inkable block from Tower Control is replaced by a sponge.
 
In ''[[Splatoon 3]]'', the Clam Basket is pushed further back onto the team's raised area. The block allowing access to the basket is replaced with a ramp for easier access. The Inkrail from Rainmaker is present.

===Big Run===
Inkblot Art Academy is where the second [[Big Run]] event occurred. There are three tides: normal and low tides both take place in the middle, though the egg basket is placed where the clam statue is normally found at normal tide and at the exact center of the stage during low tide, while high tide takes place at the spawn area. Five [[Gusher]]s are placed throughout the stage to allow [[Salmonids]] to spawn during normal and low tides; at normal tide, only one is active, while four are active at low tide. As usual for Big Run, [[Mudmouth Eruption]]s, [[Goldie Seeking]], [[Cohock Charge]], and [[Giant Tornado]] are unavailable; unusually, [[The Griller]] can occur during low tide.

Inkblot Art Academy is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3. It takes place in the lot between two school buildings, including a small park, parking lot, and campus pond.

Layout

Inkblot Art Academy overview.

Inkblot Art Academy features two elevated areas by the spawn points that lead into the central area of the stage. There are water hazards on the side of the stage and two hand-shaped statues that players can jump atop of.[1]

The spawn point is set at the highest point and far edges of the stage by the streets surrounding the school. Going to the right leads to the greater portion of the stage while going forwards leads to a narrow alleyway that drops down to one of the side gardens. The stage features many different levels and elevations, with the area closest to the spawn point taking place between buildings. In front of the building after leaving the spawn is a lot with a clam statue, which can be accessed from on top of the building. The only way to access this lot normally is from an uninkable ramp behind a wall to the corresponding team's right side. Beyond each team's statue lot is the main plaza, which is a flat battle area with the main obstacle being the tall display at the center of the map which can be climbed on. To each team's left is a ramp leading to the lower garden which contains a tree and a block as obstacles. When in the opposing team's statue lot, there is a single wall on a building that can be inked to reach up and into the team's spawn area.

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 at the center of the stage. The top of the display case does not count towards the zone. The only change made to the stage is the inclusion of a single inkable block in the lower lot, creating an additional means of getting to the center of the stage.

Tower Control

The Tower is located at the center of the stage in place of the display case. Two large inkable layered blocks have been added in the center of the stage to both provide coverage and a vantage point. Additional ramps have been added in the lower lot for easier access back to the center, as well as two more prominent ramps in each team's statue lot, which allow much easier access into each team's spawn areas. A block has been added, allowing another path into the opposing team's statue lot, as well as another on the left going up the building. The block that outlooked the middle of the map is smaller, and a wall has been added on the grates so they can't be used as a vantage point. The Tower travels left around the wall, up the ramp into the opposing team's statue lot before going across the entire area and finishing by going up the ramp and stopping in the parking lot in front of the spawn point.

In Splatoon 2, checkpoints have been added:
Checkpoint Location Timer (Seconds) Progress Amount
Before After Total
1 The first checkpoint is located between the wall in front of each team's uninkable ramp and the new block. 5 86 76 10
2 The second checkpoint is located in the opposing team's statue lot. 5 55 45 10
3 The third checkpoint is right before the ramp leading toward the goal. 5 20 12 8
Splatoon 3 checkpoints:

1 The first checkpoint is located between the wall in front of each team's uninkable ramp and the new block. 5 86 76 10
2 The second checkpoint is located in the opposing team's statue lot. 5 55 45 10
3 The third checkpoint is located before the ramp leading toward the goal. 4 20 12 8

Rainmaker

The Rainmaker is located at the center of the stage in place of the display case. The goal is located in the parking lot in front of the opposing team's spawn point. The large inkable blocks, the ramps, and the wall to the left are present in this mode, but the block on the right and the wall on the grates are not included. There is another inkable wall, however, the block that overlooks the middle of the stage got bigger, and the statues in the lot have been rotated 90 degrees to the left.

In Splatoon 3, the climbable wall in front of the uninkable ramp is removed. The checkpoint is located there. The inkable wall to the left is removed and an Inkrail is added to the left of it to allow access to the other team's raised area.

Clam Blitz

The basket on this stage is located at the far back of the opposing team's statue lot. The 2 inkable walls are present, the display glass has been replaced by a bumper, the large inkable structures have been rotated 180 degrees, the platforms from Tower Control have been expanded, the block that outlooks the center is only inkable from the front and top, both ramps are gone, and the ramp that leads to the same area as the inkable block from Tower Control is replaced by a sponge.

In Splatoon 3, the Clam Basket is pushed further back onto the team's raised area. The block allowing access to the basket is replaced with a ramp for easier access. The Inkrail from Rainmaker is present.

Big Run

Inkblot Art Academy is where the second Big Run event occurred. There are three tides: normal and low tides both take place in the middle, though the egg basket is placed where the clam statue is normally found at normal tide and at the exact center of the stage during low tide, while high tide takes place at the spawn area. Five Gushers are placed throughout the stage to allow Salmonids to spawn during normal and low tides; at normal tide, only one is active, while four are active at low tide. As usual for Big Run, Mudmouth Eruptions, Goldie Seeking, Cohock Charge, and Giant Tornado are unavailable; unusually, The Griller can occur during low tide.
