Shiver “Which flavor of ice cream is best? We have vanilla vs. strawberry vs. mint chip!”	Frye “Usually there's no wrong answer on a hot day. But after this-THERE WILL BE!”
Shiver “Our first delicious scoop is the arrestingly classic taste of vanilla!”
	Frye “Right there with it is the mothwateringly sweet-yet-tart flavor of strawberry!”
	Big Man “Ay! (And, of course, the refreshing, invigorating, one and only mint chip!)”
	Frye “Daaang, they all sound so good. How am I supposed to choose just one?!”
	Frye “Psych! There's only one ice for me. The others are gonna get creamed.”
Shiver “You sound pretty sure of yourself there.”
Frye “You'd be sure too if you had strawberry in your blood like me.”
Frye “I've had every flavor, and strawberry's the only one that never steered me wrong. Ever!”
Frye “The tart strawberries and sweet cream are a perfect flavor duet! Get 'em onstage!”	Big Man “Ay... (Wouldn't the spotlights just...)”
Shiver “You're overcomplicating it. What comes to mind when you hear "ice cream"? Vanilla.”
Shiver “Coffee floats, cream soda... What flavor goes with those? Do I even need to say it?”
Shiver “Vanilla is the foundation that ice cream is built on. It's THE ice cream. Not that I care.”	Frye “I dunno. You got that look that says you're ready to die on this van-hill-a.”
	Big Man “Ay! (Well, I like mint chip! It's nice to have a little crunch with that smooth flavor.)”
	Big Man “Ay. Ay! (The mint tempers the sweetness of the chocolate and cream. It's perfect!)”
Shiver “So...toothpaste, then? How epicurean.”
	Big Man “Ay. (You're trying to get a rise out of me, but mint-chip lovers always play it cool.)”
	Big Man “Ay! AY! (Also mint chip ISN'T toothpaste! It's cold! Refreshing! The ULTIMATE TREAT!)”
Frye “That cool of yours melted pretty quick.”
Shiver “At any rate...vanilla's rich body and aroma make it the default flavor for a reason.”
	Frye “Don't count out the wild card of strawberry! There's no taste fresher than that!”
	Big Man “Ay! (Team Mint Chip, rise up, and grind our foes into paste!)”

Haya “Welk ijs is het lekkerst? We hebben vanille tegen aardbei tegen choco-munt!” (Which flavor of ice cream is best? We have vanilla against strawberry against mint chip!)	Muriël “Normaal is elk ijs best op een warme dag, maar wij gaan bepalen welke smaak het allercoolst is!” (Normally any ice cream is best on a warm day, but we're going to decide which flavor is the coolest of all!)
Haya “We beginnen met vanille, een zacht bolletje met een subtiel aroma.” (We begin with vanilla, a soft scoop with a subtle aroma.)
	Muriël “Vervolgens is er het fruitige aardbei, een mix van zoetigheid en zurigheid!” (After that there's the fruity strawberry, a mix of sweetness and sourness!)
	Ray “Ay! (En het eigenzinnige choco-munt, wat lekker is na de maaltijd en voor de maaltijd!)” (Ay! (And the idiosyncratic mint chip, which is delicious after meals and before meals!))
	Muriël “Dat klinkt allemaal goed! Waarom nemen we geen hoorntje met alle drie de smaken?” (That sounds nice all around! Why don't we have an ice cream cone with all three flavors?)
	Muriël “Geintje! Iedereen wil natuurlijk liever drie bolletjes aardbei dan die andere twee erbij!” (Just kidding! Everyone would naturally rather have three scoops of strawberry than those other two with it!)
Haya “O, dus je denkt dat je al gewonnen hebt?” (Oh, so you think you've already won?)
Muriël “Dat zou jij ook denken als er aardbeien- siroop door je aderen stroomde.” (You would think that too if there was strawberry cordial coursing through your veins.)
Muriël “Ik heb alle smaken geproefd en aardbei heeft me nooit in de kou laten staan! Nooit!” (I have tasted all flavors and strawberry has never left me out in the cold! Never!)
Muriël “Zure aardbeien en zoete room stelen samen de show! Die kunnen zo het podium op!” (Sour strawberries and sweet cream steal the show together! These can take right to the stage!)	Ray “Ay? Ay...? (Huh? Zou het ijs niet smelten door de schijnw...?)” (Ay? Ay...? (Huh? Wouldn't the ice cream melt because of the spotl...?))
Haya “Dat klinkt als ijs met extra stappen. Als je ijs zegt, zeg je vanille-ijs.” (That sounds like ice cream with extra steps. When you say ice cream, you say vanilla ice cream.)
Haya “En er is natuurlijk ook vanillevla en vanille- suiker. Het is dé smaak voor toetjes.” (And naturally there's vanilla vla and vanilla sugar too. It's THE flavor for desserts.)
Haya “Vanille is de basis die alle andere smaken ijs de baas is!” (Vanilla is the base that dominates all other flavors of ice cream!)	Muriël “Goed, ga jij voor je basissmaak en dan gaan wij lekker voor ijs met extra stappen.” (Fine, you go for your base flavor and then we'll nicely go for ice cream with extra steps.)
	Ray “Ay? Ay! (Ja, wat als je meer wilt dan de basis? Choco-munt is twee smaken in één!)” (Ay? Ay! (Yes, what if you want more than the base? Mint chip is two flavors in one!))
	Ray “Ay! Ay! (Dat maakt het lekker afwisselend! Het is frisheid met een beetje bite!)” (Ay! Ay! (That makes it nicely varied! It's freshness with a bit of bite!))
Haya “Dus je kiest tandpastasmaak? Ik denk dat je daarna nog steeds moet poetsen, hoor.” (So you choose toothpaste flavor? I think you still have to brush after that, you know.)
	Ray “Ay. (Ik weet best dat ik nog moet poetsen, want in tandpasta zit geen chocolade.)” (Ay. (I know quite well that I still have to brush, because there's no chocolate in toothpaste.))
	Ray “Ay!? (Of wou je zeggen dat je wel tandpasta met chocoladestukjes kent?!)” (Ay!? (Or did you mean to say that you do know toothpaste with chocolate chips?!))
Muriël “Geen tandpasta eten, Ray! Maar goed... we moeten dit maar weer in de strijd beslissen.” (Don't eat toothpaste, Big Man! But anyway... we'll just have to decide this again in battle.)
Haya “Oké, maar dan krijgen jullie het wel met Team Vanille aan de stok!” (Okay, but then you guys will pick a fight with Team Vanilla!)
Notes: Shiver makes a pun with vanille ("vanilla"), stok ("stick"), and vanillestokje ("vanilla bean").
	Muriël “Team Aardbei is erbij! We zitten vol pit en hebben nu al een kroontje!” (Team Strawberry will be there! We are full of spirit and already have a crown!)
Notes: Frye makes a pun with vol pit meaning both "full of spirit" and "full of pit[s]", and with kroontje both meaning "crown" and the top part of a strawberry.
	Ray “Ay! (Dat kroontje gaat naar Team Choco-munt, want wij hebben het op de overwinning gemunt!)” (Ay! (That crown goes to Team Mint Chip, because we are aiming at victory!))
Notes: Big Man makes a pun with munt ("mint") and munten ("to aim at, to target").

	Muri „...Haha! Reingelegt! Klar gibt's eine von den dreien, die viiiel leckerer ist als der Rest!“ (Haha! Tricked! Of course there is one of the three, that is much more delicious than the rest!)
Mako „Nanu. Da schmeckt wohl schon jemand den süßen Sieg auf der Zunge, wie?“ (Well. Someone's already tasting the sweet victory on their tongue, eh?)
Muri „Klar wie Konfitüre, Kollegin! Erdbeer her, nichts schmeckt mehr!“ (Clear as Jam, colleagues! Strawberry here, nothing tastes better!)
Muri „Als offizielle Jede-Sorte-Kennerin ist Erdbeer für mich von ALLEN der Topfavorit!“ (As official Every-Flavor-Knower, Strawberry is for me from all the favorites!)

Mako „Wer braucht schon Trios von Aromen! Wer an Eis denkt, denkt zuerst an Vanille!“ (Who needs trios of flavors now! Who thinks of ice cream, thinks of Vanilla first!)
Mako „Es passt zu Süßspeisen, in Getränke... Einfach DAS Eis für alle Anlässe!“ (It fits with desserts, in drinks... Easily THE ice cream for all occasions!)
Mako „Vanille ist das Eis und Alles, ganz einfach. Objektiv gesprochen. Mir auch einerlei.“ (Vanilla is so easily the ice cream and everything. Objectively speaking. It doesn't matter to me.)	Muri „Tu nicht so cool! Ich weiß doch, für Vanilleeis schmilzt du dahin!“ (Don't be so cool! I know that you melt away for Vanilla ice cream!)
	Mantaro „Ay! Ay. (Und Minz mit Schoko ist für mich! Frisch und knackig, einfach ein Starpaar.)“ (Ay! Ay. (And Mint with Chocolate is for me! Fresh and crunchy, easily an amazing pair.))
	Mantaro „Ay. Ay! (Pfefferminzeis ist eben süß, aber, nun ja, diskret. Ein Eis mit Klasse!)“ (Ay. Ay! (Peppermint is simply sweet, although discreet. An ice cream with class!))
Mako „Ich sag dir diskret, dass Pfefferminzeis für mich wie Zahnpasta schmeckt. So.“ (I tell you discreetly, that peppermint tastes like toothpaste to me. So.)
	Mantaro „Ay! Ay! (Das verbitte ich mir! Wie Zahnpasta, dass ich nicht blubbere!)“ (Ay! Ay! (That I don't allow myself! Like toothpaste, that I don't bubble!))
	Mantaro „Ay... (Nebenbei is auch Minzzahnpasta viel feiner als der Rest, also Eukalyptus oder...)“ (Ay... (By the way, Mint toothpaste is way better than the rest, or perhaps Eucalyptus...))
Muri „Ich glaube, wir schweifen gerade eine Minzigkeit vom Thema ab, Mantaro...“ (I believe we have gotten a little bit off topic, Mantaro...)
Mako „Jedenfalls hat sich Vanilleeis nich ohne Grund so etabliert. Der sahnige Standard!“ (Anyways, Vanilla ice cream has firmly established itself. The creamy standard!)
	Muri „Standard ist gut, besonders ist besser. Besonders fruchtig und peppig wie Erdbeer!“ (Standard is good, special is better. Specially fruity and lively like Strawberry!)
	Mantaro „Ay! Ay! (Team Minz-Schoko! Bescheren wir den Banausen ihr knackig-grünes Wunder!)“ (Ay! Ay! (Team Mint Chocolate! We will distribute our crunchy-green wonder to these peasants!))

Кулла «Какой вкус мороженого лучше? Ваниль, клубника или мятный шоколад?» (Which ice cream flavor is better? Vanilla, strawberry, or mint chocolate?)	Мурия «В жаркий денек обычно любой сгодится, но НЕ СЕГОДНЯ!» (On a hot day, usually anything will do, but NOT TODAY!)
Кулла «И первый вкус – наисладчайшая классика: ваниль!» (And the first flavor is the sweetest classic: vanilla!)
	Мурия «Встречаем сладкую, но с яркой кислинкой клубнику!» (Let's meet strawberry, sweet but with a hint of bright sourness to it!)
	Биг Ман «Ик! (И конечно, освежающий и питательный мятный шоколад!)» (Ay! (And of course, refreshing and nourishing mint chocolate!))
	Мурия «Они все такие классные, как прикажете мне выбирать?!» (They all are so amazing, how do you tell me to choose?!)
	Мурия «Ха, лишь один вкус решает и плюхает! И это мой вкус!» (Ha, only one flavor works and splats out! And it's my flavor!)
Кулла «М-да, уверенности тебе не занимать...» (Yeah well, you don't lack confidence...)
Мурия «Конечно, ведь клубника у меня в крови!» (Of course, strawberry is in my blood after all!)
Мурия «Я перепробовала все вкусы, и только клубничный меня никогда не подводил!» (I tried out all the flavors, and only the strawberry flavor never let me down!)
Мурия «Сладкая, кисленькая, нежная! Прямо как наше трио!» (Sweet, sour, tender! Just like our trio!)	Биг Ман «Ик? (Интересно, кто из нас кисленький?..)» (Ay? (I'm curious, which one of us is sour?..))
Кулла «Это слишком сложно. Мороженое номер один – ваниль!» (This is too complicated. The ice cream number one is vanilla!)
Кулла «Можно и со сладким есть, и к напиткам подходит. Идеальный вкус!» (You can eat it with sweets, and it suits drinks. A perfect flavor!)
Кулла «Ваниль – основа основ. Вершина вершин. Точка...» (Vanilla is the foundation of the foundations. The top of the tops. Period...)	Мурия «Такое впечатление, что при слове «ваниль» ты прямо таешь...» (Seems like you just melt at the word «vanilla»...)
	Биг Ман «Ик! (А я люблю мятный шоколад! Классно похрустеть, да еще и освежиться.)» (Ay! (And I love mint chocolate! It's awesome to crunch some and refresh on top of that.))
	Биг Ман «Ик! (Мята делает мороженое менее приторным и более сбалансированным!)» (Ay! (Mint makes the ice cream less cloying and more balanced!))
Кулла «Так обычно в рекламе про зубную пасту говорят.» (That's what they usually say in toothpaste commercials.)
	Биг Ман «Ик?! Ик! (Какая еще зубная паста?! Зубная паста у тебя в голове!)» (Ay?! Ay! (What toothaste?! Your brain is a toothpaste!))
	Биг Ман «Ик?! (Ну и потом, кто из нас не хотел хоть раз попробовать зубную пасту?!)» (Ay?! (And besides, who among us hasn't wanted to try toothpaste at least once?!))
Мурия «По-моему, мы самую мятность отклонились от темы...» (In my opinion, we've gotten a little mint off topic...)
Notes: In her pun, Frye changed the word малость malost' ("a little bit") for a made up consonant word мятность myatnost' ("mintness").
Кулла «В любом случае, никакой вкус не сравнится с богатым ароматом и текстурой ванили!» (Anyway, no flavor compares to the rich aroma and texture of vanilla!)
	Мурия «Клубника лучше ванили во всем! Нет ничего круче – и быть не может!» (Strawberry is better than vanilla in every way! There's nothing cooler – and there can't be!)
	Биг Ман «Ик... ик! (Мята сотрет все другие вкусы в... зубной порошок!)» (Ay... ay! (Mint will grind all the other flavors to... tooth-powder!))

Trivia

• This Splatfest will take place during summer for the Northern Hemisphere, in which frozen treats such as ice cream are often enjoyed.
• This was the third Splatfest in Splatoon 3 to have a food theme, with Spicy vs. Sweet vs. Sour being the first, and Dark Chocolate vs. Milk Chocolate vs. White Chocolate, second.
  • Additionally, this Splatfest may have also been a result of Team Sweet's win in Spicy vs. Sweet vs. Sour (as was the case in Dark Chocolate vs. Milk Chocolate vs. White Chocolate).
• The theme for this Splatfest was most likely based off of Neapolitan ice cream, with Mint Chocolate replacing Chocolate.
