“ Super Sea Snails are powerful creatures that can upgrade your gear. But you'll need to find a specialist... Someone who knows how to unlock the power of Super Sea Snails. I hate to say it, but maybe you should check that sketchy back alley. Super Sea Snails are mega valuable. Don't let 'em go to waste! ”
— Receiving Super Sea Snails for the first time in Splatoon.

Super Sea Snails are a species and type of currency in the Splatoon series. Their sole use is to be given to Spyke or Murch, who can increase secondary gear ability slots or reroll all three secondary gear abilities.

Splatoon

In Splatoon, if the player is at level 20 or higher and has no remaining Super Sea Snails, they can instead pay Spyke 30,000 cash for these services.

Earning

Judd awards Super Sea Snails to players that talk to him after winning thirty Regular Battles or Ranked Battles. The wins do not need to be part of a consecutive win streak. Judd stocks up multiple snails indefinitely as the player racks up wins, even if the stage rotation changes. If more than nine snails are stockpiled, Judd gives the player nine for every instance he is spoken to and continues to do so until the amount of snails that were stockpiled is reached. After the last Splatfest in the game, this is now the only way to acquire Super Sea Snails.

While Splatfests were occurring, Super Sea Snails were awarded to participants based on their Splatfest title and on whether or not their team won. Users who participated could win at least two Super Sea Snails and up to 24 if the player's team was the winner while the player was at the highest tier.

Title Total EXP required Super Sea Snails
Winning team Losing team
[Team] Fanboy/Fangirl – 4 2
[Team] Fiend 10 6 3
[Team] Defender 35 10 5
[Team] Champion 85 16 10
[Team] King/Queen 184 24 18

Splatoon 2

Earning

Judd awards Super Sea Snails to players that talk to him after reaching level 30, where one snail is stockpiled indefinitely for each level past 30 (inclusive). Unlike in Splatoon, Judd gives all stockpiled snails at once. Players who reach level 99 or level ★99 may reset to level ★1 again, so an unlimited amount of Super Sea Snails can be gained this way. After the last Splatfest in the game, this is the only way to obtain the Super Sea Snails.

While Splatfests were occurring, at the end of each Splatfest, Super Sea Snails were awarded to participants based on their Splatfest title and on whether or not their team won.

Splatoon 3

Earning

Unlike in Splatoon 2, Super Sea Snails aren't given to the player after leveling up after level 30.

At the end of each Splatfest, Super Sea Snails were awarded to participants based on their Splatfest title and on whether or not their team won.
