Sheldon's Introduction

With its wide muzzle, the Sploosh-o-matic is specialized for close-combat situations. Beat back the enemy while placing Squid Beakons on their turf, and then mop up with the deadly Killer Wail! This weapon set excels at opening holes in the opponents' defenses for your teammates to exploit.

The perfect weapon for getting up close and personal! High attack power and rate of fire, but its range is extremely limited.
— In-game description
Its range is super short, but it gobbles up foes in close-quarters combat. Take them by surprise and there's no escape! The Squid Beakon subs will help you get in there, and the Killer Wail special will let you wreck shop once you do.

Trivia

Etymology

Sploosh-o-matic is derived from 'sploosh', a word similar to 'splash', and 'automatic'. The '-o-matic' suffix is also a common, clichéd naming convention for technological gadgets.

ボールドマーカー bōrudo mākā is in reference to the partly pen-based appearance of the Sploosh-o-matic. The name is also to contrast it with the Splash-o-matic. The highly accurate Splash-o-matic is named after a sharp marker pen, while the Sploosh-o-matic with its wide, cone-shaped muzzle is more akin to a bold marker pen.
