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 question about marine life. 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.

Setting

The characters are yellow Inkling, purplish-blue Octoling, and turquoise Inkling.

The battle is set on a stage that resembles Eeltail Alley without any textures. The bridge in the center of the map is gone and the two opposing sides of the map are much closer.

Scenario

The video starts with a yellow Inkling swimming in ink joined by the purplish-blue Octoling and the turquoise Inkling coming out of the ink together, aiming their weapons to the front with the logo of the quiz popping out.

Next, the question is shown for about ten seconds and then the three-way Turf War begins. There are animations, still renders with camera movement, and a top-view camera clips of the battle.

Then, a three-second countdown and "Finish!" cross lines appear on top of still renders before the camera switches over to top-view to check who painted the most. Judd then declares which option is the correct answer to the question which correlates to the character with the most inked turf.

At the end, the full correct answer is shown along with a character from the games.

Quizzes

The quizzes are in Japanese and are updated every Monday. The series may have a similar life span of 100 episodes as its previous series "60 Second Challenge! Save Luigi!!". The correct answers are in bold blue.
