Springing Spiccatos are Jelleton enemies in Splatoon 3: Side Order. They move around by hopping, and attack the player by creating an explosion around the area they land on, similar to a Splashdown, when they get close enough.
Description
Springing Spiccatos are mechanical lampreys with their bodies encased in black ink. Their eyes seem to be popping out of a pair of black swimming goggles, and their mouth, which they use to jump, is attached to the head by a black spring.
Strategy
- The Springing Spiccato will attack similarly to a Splashdown if it gets close to the player, which can be cancelled if it is splatted before it lands.
- If it rides a Battering Lento, and the Lento is splatted before it, it will immediately use its splashdown attack.
- The pedestal they leave behind when splatted can launch the player into the air. It can be used to escape when cornered.
- The pedestal creates a small explosion when used, damaging nearby enemies.
- If the pedestal is not used after a certain amount of time, it vanishes.
- Launching into the air via the pedestal does not count as a jump on no-jump bonus floors.
- The pedestal also launches ∞-balls that touch it.
Quotes
The following text is quoted from the Jelleton Field Guide.
(1) |
They'll try to splash down on you when you get close. But you can fix that. Just look up and splat them before they hit the ground. |
(70) |
The pedestal they leave behind can launch you if you touch it. It can be a handy escape route if you ever find yourself swarmed! |

It's also just fun! Are you cool with heights, Eight? Because I LOVE THEM! |
Conclusion Beating 'em is your ticket upward! |
