Octo Canyon (also known as Hero Mode) is a single-player game mode in Splatoon 2. It involves the player donning a Hero Suit and venturing into a hidden underground canyon where the Octarians have relocated to since the events of Splatoon, to rescue Inkopolis Square's stolen Great Zapfish and re-defeat the Octarian army.
Story
After the Great Zapfish is stolen a second time by the Octarians, Marie recruits Agent 4 to find the Great Zapfish and her missing cousin Callie. Agent 4 travels the underground lair known as Octo Canyon to recover the Great Zapfish. Eventually, Agent 4 confronts DJ Octavio, who has brainwashed Callie. With Marie's help, Agent 4 frees Callie from Octavio's hypnoshades and defeats him once more.
Gameplay
Octo Canyon functions in the almost exact same way as Octo Valley did, with the addition of new enemies and new mechanics. The player is given many different weapon choices as the story progresses. They are given to Agent 4 from Sheldon, and they include the 
Hero Shot, 
Hero Roller, 
Hero Charger, 
Hero Dualies, 
Hero Brella, 
Hero Splatling, 
Hero Blaster, 
Hero Slosher, and 
Herobrush.
Mechanics
Many mechanics make a return in Octo Canyon that made their first appearance in Octo Valley, with the addition of various new ones. These include ride rails, Inkfurlers, and Bounce Pads.

Equipment
Similar to Octo Valley, players wear the Hero Suit and use a wide variety of weapons.
Hero Suit
A new Hero Suit is worn by Agent 4. It is primarily neon-yellow and has headphones similarly shaped to that of the first Hero Suit. This suit acts as an armor collectible in that it allows the player to take damage that would normally splat them once - then it needs to regenerate. While regenerating the suit, the player is slowed down. While in certain missions, Agent 4 can find armor. It comes in cases found in various parts of the level. The player can have up to two sets of armor on at a time and it allows them to take damage that would normally splat them. If a mission is finished with any amount of armour on, ten extra Power Eggs are rewarded.
Hero weapons
Hero Shot - The default weapon and a P90-esque shooter-type weapon. It is similar to the 
Splattershot but fires slower than it when not upgraded. It can be upgraded twice using Power Eggs and Sardinium, increasing the fire rate.
Hero Roller - A modified 
Splat Roller similar to the 
Carbon Roller. Can be upgraded once with Power Eggs and Sardinium to increase its damage and fling speed.
Hero Charger - A modified 
Splat Charger. Can be upgraded once with Power Eggs and Sardinium to increase its charge speed.
Hero Dualies - Modified 
Splat Dualies. Can be upgraded once with Power Eggs and Sardinium to increase its firing rate.
Hero Slosher - A modified 
Slosher. Can be upgraded once with Power Eggs and Sardinium to increase its firing speed and damage.
Hero Splatling - A modified 
Heavy Splatling. Can be upgraded once with Power Eggs and Sardinium to increase its charge speed.
Hero Blaster - A modified 
Blaster. Can be upgraded once with Power Eggs and Sardinium to increase its firing rate.
Hero Brella - A modified 
Splat Brella. Can be upgraded once with Power Eggs and Sardinium to increase its durability and brella recovery time.
Herobrush - A modified 
Octobrush. Can be upgraded once with Power Eggs and Sardinium to increase its swiping speed, damage, and mobility.
Ink tank
The ink tank contains the ink consumed when using main weapons or sub weapons. Its ink supply can be replenished by swimming in ink. It can be upgraded twice with Power Eggs and Sardinium, increasing its capacity.
Splat Bombs
Octo Canyon's 
Splat Bombs function like those found in Inkopolis. They are four-sided and look almost identical to those in Octo Valley. They explode a short while after hitting the ground.
Curling Bombs
Curling Bombs work similarly to the ones before Version 3.0.0. They travel across the ground, bouncing off walls, and explode after a set amount of time. Holding down 
makes them travel for a shorter distance before exploding, though unlike the current Curling Bombs, it does not increase the blast radius. They can be unlocked with Sardinium and Power Eggs.
Autobombs
Autobombs work just like the ones in Inkopolis. After hitting the ground, they run towards any target they find in a certain radius, then start to explode. If they do not find a target, they start exploding right away. They can be unlocked using Sardinium and Power Eggs.
Special weapons
Special weapons can be found throughout Octo Canyon in the form of a canned special. Upon collecting a canned special, a certain special weapon is immediately fully charged.
Collectibles
Unlike Octo Valley, there are three types of collectibles.
Power Eggs
Power Eggs appear to be small, orange fish eggs that can be found throughout Octo Canyon. They can be collected by killing enemies, destroying crates, and shooting or running near individual ones scattered around the environment. They are used for upgrading equipment and weapons.
Sunken Scrolls
Sunken Scrolls are rolled up pieces of paper that can be found in Octo Canyon. They are long-lost drawings and other pieces of information that depict the history and lore of Inkopolis. One Sunken Scroll can be found in each level of Octo Canyon.
Sardinium
Sardinium is a new form of collectible in Octo Canyon. One can be found in each level, after each boss, and in each hub area. They are used to upgrade equipment and weapons with the Ammo Knights Enhancifier alongside Power Eggs.
Rewards
After watching the credits, the player unlocks the full set of Hero Suit replica gear pieces - the 
Hero Headphones Replica, 
Hero Hoodie Replica, and 
Hero Snowboots Replicas - for use in online play. After completing all levels with a certain weapon, the player unlocks a replica of that weapon for use online.
As of Version 3.0.0, Callie also appears within Octo Canyon following the credits; when spoken to, she and Marie share a variety of statistics relating to the player's most recent multiplayer matches, weapon statistics, and Salmon Run jobs.
Trivia
- If the player enters Octo Canyon as an Octoling, they revert to their latest customization of Inkling they used, and switch back to an Octoling once they return to Inkopolis.
- The Hero Suit replica gear is not unlocked unless the credits are watched all the way through. Skipping the credits does not unlock the gear, forcing the player to re-watch them to unlock it.
- The "Mission Failed" jingle that plays when Agent 4 fails a mission has high-pitched vocals resembling an Octoling laughing.
