Splatoon Turf Quiz
Splatoon Turf Quiz (Splatoon ナワバリクイズ nawabari kuizu in Japanese) is a video series by Nintendo on Japan's JR East trains.
In the Splatoon Turf Quiz, three characters battle it out in a three-way Turf War for the correct answer to a marine life trivia question. The three-way battle is reminiscent of the Tricolor Turf War mode in Splatoon 3. As in the Turf War ruleset, the character with the most ink wins the game, and Judd announces the correct answer at the end. The Splatoon Turf Quiz's quick format of 60-second videos is meant to keep commuters entertained.
Scenario
The video starts with a yellow Inkling swimming in ink joined by a purple Octoling and teal Inkling coming out of the ink together, aiming their weapons to the front with the logo of the quiz popping in. The characters hold the Tri-Stringer, .96 Gal and Gold Dynamo Roller, respectively.
Next, the question is shown for about ten seconds and then the three-way Turf War begins. The stage resembles the layout of Eeltail Alley without any textures. There are animations, still photos, and a top-view camera of the action of the battle.
Then, a three-second countdown and "Finish!" cross lines appear before the camera switches to top-view and Judd declares which character inked the most and won the Turf War. The winner corresponds to the correct answer to the question.
Lastly, the full correct answer is shown.
Questions
The questions are in Japanese and are updated every Monday. The correct answers are in bold blue.
