Super Sea Snails (Japanese: スーパーサザエ Super Sazae) are a species and also type of currency in Splatoon. They were previously obtainable by participating in Splatfests, but can now only be earned from Judd. Their sole use is to be given to Spyke, who uses them to increase the number of slots on gear or reroll all gear abilities on a select piece of gear. Spyke can also do this without a Sea Snail, but the player must be level 20 or higher, and it costs File:30000 Icon Cash.png.
Earning
Judd
Template:Todo Judd awards Super Sea Snails to players that talk to him after playing a certain number of games. As of the final Splatfest, this is now the only way to acquire a Super Sea Snail.
Splatfest

Super Sea Snails are awarded to participants based on the size of their team and matches won, which dictate each player's Splatfest title. Users who participate can win at least two Super Sea Snails and up to twenty-four if the player's team is the winner while the player is at the highest tier.

Trivia
- The Super Sea Snails appear to slightly resemble Maiamai from A Link Between Worlds and Mushrooms from the Mario series.
- The gear slot properties of Super Sea Snails seem to lie more in their actual shells than the snails themselves, which according to Spyke are "juicy". This implies the snails are irrelevant to the process, but can be consumed by certain species like urchins.
- Super Sea Snails seem to be capable of fear: when looking at the ones owned by Spyke, it is possible to see them shake as if certain of their fate of being consumed by Spyke.
- A total of File:322 Icon Super Sea Snail.png 22px are needed to fill every gear slot, if the player does not use cash. As of Version 2.10.0, if one wanted to gain at least that many snails—excluding any that Judd awards for winning matches—they need to have won at least 6 out of 16 total Splatfests (assuming they reach King/Queen rank every time).
