Fixes and adjustments

  • Fixed an issue on Ancho-V Games causing players who switched back and forth between forms near the sponge in front of the Spawn Point to occasionally clip inside the stage terrain.
  • Fixed an issue in certain modes on Goby Arena allowing players to gain access to the raised platform in the opposing base via the grating in front of the opposing Spawn Point.
  • Fixed an issue while using the Goo Tuber or Custom Goo Tuber, in which the white area in the player's ink tank indicating ink consumption would decrease gradually as the player switched back and forth between forms while storing a charged shot.
  • Fixed an issue making a Torpedo seem to disappear when viewed by the player who launched it if the Torpedo was destroyed just prior to hitting an opponent it was targeting.
  • Fixed an issue causing a Booyah Bomb lost by being thrown into the water or out of bounds not to count toward the number of times a player used their special weapon during a match.
  • Fixed an issue causing the Ultra Stamp to pass through certain objects such as the umbrella portion of a Splat Brella or a Splash Wall when thrown, despite the targeting guide indicating that the object would be hit while aiming.
  • Fixed an issue causing players to jump higher than intended when jumping off a sponge at the instant it expanded in size.
