The Super Chump is a special weapon in Splatoon 3, added in Fresh Season 2023 (Version 3.0.0). It is the special weapon of the N-ZAP '89 and Clash Blaster Neo.
Splatoon 3
The Super Chump is a cannon which shoots as many as it can in it's time period.it shoots large, balloon-like enlarged Suction Bombs which explode after a short period of time, a similar principle to the Bomb Rush and Bomb Launchers.
When activated, the user will begin by holding the cannon to aim it using a targeting circle. If the center of the circle is out-of-bounds, or the user is not on ground, a "Can't Use!" warning will appear. Once set with , the cannon will deploy the decoys in a random spread within the circle on the ground, displaying their landing sites as Super Jump markers, which show the names of the players on the team that launched them.
After the cannon is launched, the user cannot charge the special gauge again until it has fully depleted, similar to Tenta Missiles.
Although the cannon can't be destroyed, enemy fire, terrain (like the rotating platforms in Museum D’Alfonsino), and the tower in Tower Control can destroy the Bombs. After landing, the Bombs will explode after a few seconds.
Special Power Up increases the turf inked by each Bomb launched by the Super Chump.

Trivia
- Super Chump was originally datamined in the Drizzle Season 2022 as an unused special, codenamed "firework".
- The Super Chump bombs resemble scaled up versions of Suction Bombs. They even possess a "face" like the Suction Bomb, albeit with much more detail.
- Similar to Bomb Launcher, the Super Chump cannon plays a jingle while active.
- If the player uses the Super Chump while touching and facing a wall the cannon happens to be inside of that wall. This glitch hasn't been patched due too it being a new special and has no use whatsoever.
Etymology
The English name is a combination of "Super Jump" and "chump" (phonetically similar to "Jump" and referencing the decoy aspect). It may also be a reference to chum, a type of bait often used to lure sharks, fitting in with the sea theme.
