==Description==
==Description==
The Shoal is a local multiplayer [[mode]] category selection screen of ''[[Splatoon 2]]'' where players can choose a game mode to play locally, each player requiring separate consoles and copies of the game in order to play. The player can enter The Shoal from [[Inkopolis Square]] or tap on "The Shoal" on the map. There are two game modes available: [[Private Battle]] and [[Salmon Run]]. The player can either choose to host these modes or search and join other peoples' lobbies. These modes differ slightly from their online counterparts, as Private Battles at The Shoal do not allow for spectators in local wireless play and there are some extra options for the host, while Salmon Run has different selectable weapons and the host can set the difficulty. A list of available weapons at the Shoal and the day they were made available is listed below.
