Map

For battle locations, see stage.

Maps are navigational tools used during matches in the Splatoon series.

Usage

The map shows a comprehensive, top-down map of the current playing field. It is constantly updated to show every splatter of ink and the locations of all teammates, represented by small icons. When an enemy is under attack or tracked using a weapon or ability, their icon can also be seen on the map temporarily. Players can select the location of an ally or Squid Beakon to Super Jump to that location.

When not in battle, the map shows all accessible locations in Inkopolis. The player can instantly go to the desired location by selecting the applicable button near the map.
