A Propeller.
Agent 3 using a Propeller lift to ascend.

Propellers are a gameplay mechanic first introduced in the sixth level of Octo Valley, Propeller-Lift Playground. They make a return in Octo Canyon, the Octo Expansion, Return of the Mammalians, and certain multiplayer stages.

Description

Propellers appear similar to electrical fans. In Octo Valley, Octo Canyon, Salmonid Smokeyard, and Marooner's Bay, they appear on movable platforms as fans with three axial-flow blades. The blades are rounded with a translucent blue color.

In Ancho-V Games, the propellors are inside black cases, with wire guards surrounding the front ends. The blades appear more industrial, with numerous metal blades arranged in a centrifugal arrangement.

Usage

In Splatoon

When sprayed with ink or an explosion, propellers begin to spin and the platforms they are stationed on begin to move in a designated direction. The sides of the lift light up in the player's ink color. Propellers spin for a duration proportional to the damage of the attack, after which it halts and the platform begins to move backwards slowly.

The propellers found in Ancho-V Games function similarly to the ones found in Octo Valley. These propellers can only be activated from the front and the back, and they also shoot ink out from the top in the player's color. This may also splat any opponents.

In Splatoon 2

Propellers make a return in Octo Canyon and the Octo Expansion in Splatoon 2. Their functionality remains the same, with the addition of a dotted line indicating the path the platform (more specifically, the propeller) takes.

Propeller lifts can also be found in the Salmon Run stages Marooner's Bay and Salmonid Smokeyard. In Marooner's Bay, they allow the players to quickly get to the central egg basket from the shoreline. In Salmonid Smokeyard, the propeller platforms allow the players to quickly reach the other island, and serve as the only means of reaching the islands during high tide. Additionally, the stage Ancho-V Games returns, with additional propeller platforms added on the side routes.

Propellers now face in the direction they will go. This does not include corners and curves in the route.

In Splatoon 3

In Return of the Mammalians, propellers return and function like they do in Octo Canyon. The platforms on which they appear are now called propellervators.

The returning Salmon Run Next Wave Stages, Marooner's Bay and Salmonid Smokeyard have these. The multiplayer stage Marlin Airport also features propellers.
