By analyzing the percentages given out by [[Judd]] at the end of a match, it is possible to know what a level's inkable surface area is. For instance, at the end of a match, if one team gets 400 [[Battle Points]] and the other gets 600 (for a total of 1000 points of turf inked), and the percentages for each are 33.3% and 50%, respectively, that means the stage's total possible turf area is 1200 points (400 * (1 / 0.333) = 600 * (1 / 0.5) = 1200).

Latest revision as of 15:12, 16 April 2024

This page is about the maps/arenas used in the core multiplayer modes. Octo Valley missions, Octo Canyon missions, Octo Expansion stations, Return of the Mammalians missions, Salmon Run stages, Salmon Run Next Wave stages, and Side Order floors all have their own sections in their respective modes' articles.

Stages are arenas where battles take place in the Splatoon series' multiplayer modes.

Each stage has its own unique scenery and layout. Some stages feature mechanics that were introduced in the single-player modes.

List of Stages

The first game in the series, Splatoon, has 16 stages. The second game, Splatoon 2, has 23 standard stages, featuring 14 all-new stages and 9 stages returning from the first game. It also introduced the Shifty Station, a Splatfest-exclusive stage with 24 unique layouts that rotated between fests. Splatoon 3 has 23 total stages, with 12 new stages largely set in the Splatlands, along with 5 returning stages from Splatoon and 6 returning stages from Splatoon 2 set in Greater Inkopolis.[a]

The table is sortable, initially by order of release date across the series. Clicking "Stage" will sort by alphabetical order. Clicking the game will sort by that game's order.

S Stage Saltspray Rig.jpg
Saltspray Rig 		Saltspray Rig is a stage based around an ocean oil rig. It contains many hazards, as falling into water is fatal for Inklings.

S2 Stage Blackbelly Skatepark.png
Blackbelly Skatepark 		Blackbelly Skatepark is a stage based around a skate park. It includes a curved landscape with multiple raised locations. This is the smallest stage in the game.

Upon returning in Splatoon 2, it is much wider and open than in the first game, with spawn points further back on elevated platforms that the enemy team cannot reach. 		28 May 2015 28 October 2017 N/A
S2 Stage Port Mackerel.png
Port Mackerel 		Port Mackerel consists of low passages and high platforms in a container yard, with forklift trucks moving along the narrow corridors. It was shown before its release in a picture from the Splatfest side selection screen and in the Official Splatoon Guide.

Upon returning in Splatoon 2, its layout has been slightly modified and enhanced with sponges. The containers that used to crowd the center are absent, allowing players to climb on top of containers while still having a very close quarters area. 		2 June 2015 21 July 2017 N/A
S2 Stage Kelp Dome.png
Kelp Dome 		Kelp Dome is a large, indoor greenhouse with many plants and corridors, one of the few stages where battles take place indoors. It was shown in the 7 May 2015 Splatoon Nintendo Direct prior to being released.

Upon returning in Splatoon 2, it features extra grates and inkable turf. 		11 June 2015 16 September 2017 N/A

S2 Stage Moray Towers.png
Moray Towers 		Moray Towers takes place atop buildings, some of which are car parks, and is characterized by several ramps leading to the rooftops. It includes two large towers connected by a series of diagonal ramps which meet together in a central area. This stage was first shown in the North American Splatfest announcement video. The stage also appears as a playable stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Upon returning in Splatoon 2, it has been enhanced with several new inkrails which help short-range weapons counter chargers more easily. There has also been some more ground added, making falling off more difficult than before. This was one of the stages in the Splatfest World Premiere. 		11 July 2015 21 July 2017 N/A
S2 Stage Camp Triggerfish.png
Camp Triggerfish 		Camp Triggerfish takes place in a large, outdoor arena that appears to be a summer camp. It includes hazardous water areas and elevation changes. This stage was first shown in the E3 2014 trailer and official screenshots. In Turf War, when there is only one minute left in the match, floodgates at the right of the spawn close, allowing players to access the enemy base and attack from a new angle.

Upon returning in Splatoon 2, the two floodgates in the spawn area have been merged into one, and the area above has been widened. Although the floodgate still comes down at one minute remaining, inkrails and sponges have been added to make getting to the other side easier. 		24 July 2015 25 April 2018 N/A
S3 Stage Flounder Heights.png
Flounder Heights 		Flounder Heights consists of the top of an apartment complex, with multiple raised platforms, a wire floor, and a pair of doors. This stage was briefly shown in the 24 July 2015 Japanese Splatoon trailer detailing future updates, as well was shown with the release of Rainmaker mode.

Upon returning in Splatoon 3, the elevation of the stage has been reduced by a story. The stage was announced to return on August 10, 2022 in the Splatoon 3 Direct, and was shown again on November 14, 2022, during the Chill Season 2022 announcement trailer. 		20 August 2015 N/A 1 December 2022

S3 Stage Hammerhead Bridge.png
Hammerhead Bridge 		Hammerhead Bridge takes place on a suspension bridge under construction. It has a variety of raised and lowered platforms all throughout the bridge. A grated walkway runs through the center of the map, allowing diverse gameplay on both the high and low ground. This stage was briefly shown in the 24 July 2015 Japanese Splatoon trailer detailing future updates.

Upon returning in Splatoon 3, construction is complete, giving Hammerhead Bridge an upper layer (or "ceiling"). The grates have also been replaced with concrete, and the general elevation has been lowered. This stage was announced to return on August 10, 2022 in the Splatoon 3 Direct. 		18 September 2015 N/A 9 September 2022
S3 Stage Museum d'Alfonsino.png
Museum d'Alfonsino 		Museum d'Alfonsino takes place in an open art museum with many rotating platforms. The stage was leaked in the SplatNet stage schedule at 18:00 UTC on 12 November 2015 and was formally announced in the Nintendo Direct later that day.

Upon returning in Splatoon 3, the central rotating platform has been lowered, and the rotating platforms near spawn have been removed. This stage was first shown to return during the second Splatoon 3 trailer.[1] 		14 November 2015 N/A 9 September 2022
S3 Stage Mahi-Mahi Resort.png
Mahi-Mahi Resort 		Mahi-Mahi Resort takes place in a squid-shaped swimming pool next to a resort in greater Inkopolis. In the latter half of a Regular battle, Splat Zones, or Rainmaker match, the water level will drop, revealing more turf to ink. It was first revealed in the 12 November 2015 Nintendo Direct alongside Museum d'Alfonsino. It is the second stage to have a changing element after Camp Triggerfish.

Upon returning in Splatoon 3, the stage has been modified to a more narrow layout. The stage was confirmed to return on August 10, 2022 in the Splatoon 3 Direct. 		4 December 2015 N/A 9 September 2022
S2 Stage Piranha Pit.png
Piranha Pit 		This stage was first revealed on 16 December 2015. It appears to be a mining facility, sporting a unique mechanic with moving conveyor belt floors, giving it the largest potentially inkable area.

Upon returning in Splatoon 2, the two conveyor belts in the middle have been moved further apart, and sponges have been added near the end of the conveyor belts in front of the spawns. 		29 December 2015 31 March 2018 N/A
S2 Stage Ancho-V Games.png
Ancho-V Games 		This stage was first revealed on 16 December 2015. It is a video game studio that contains a propeller lift mechanic, much like the ones seen in Octo Valley. It was confirmed to be the last stage for Splatoon. It is one of the few stages located indoors.

Stage data

By analyzing the percentages given out by Judd at the end of a match, it is possible to know what a level's inkable surface area is. For instance, at the end of a match, if one team gets 400 Battle Points and the other gets 600 (for a total of 1000 points of turf inked), and the percentages for each are 33.3% and 50%, respectively, that means the stage's total possible turf area is 1200 points (400 * (1 / 0.333) = 600 * (1 / 0.5) = 1200).

However, since the display is rounded down, the result may sometimes be ambiguous and multiple results need to be intersected to reach the exact number. For example, for 600p and 50%, any total in the range 1198-1200p would result in 50.0% when rounding down to 0.1% - but if another result was collected showing that 751p is 62.5% (possible totals: 1200-1201p), the only possible value that satisfies both is exactly 1200p. Calculating using the total (in the example above, (400 + 600) * (1 / (0.333 + 0.5)) ) should be avoided, as it doubles the margin of error and could give even less accurate results.
