MC.Princess Diaries is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon 2. It was the twenty-fourth and final variation of Shifty Station and appeared in the Chaos vs. Order Splatfest. As of version 5.0.0, it is exclusively playable in Private Battles. Periodically, hyperbombs will drop from the sky which allow teams to ink large areas of turf. When one minute is left on the timer, Pearl will descend to let one player use the Princess Cannon.

Layout

MC.Princess Diaries is a large and open stage, including many curved walls, similar to Blackbelly Skatepark. Notably, the stage features the Princess Cannon and hyperbombs as unique features, and Off the Hook are seen performing live during the match.

While playing, groups of hyperbombs appear in three waves, at 2:45, 1:30, and 0:45 remaining. Players can only detonate the other team's bombs. At 1:20, Off the Hook's helicopter flies to the center of the stage; with one minute remaining, a pink cylinder appears and Pearl descends, accompanied by the text "It's the voice to end all voices!" As she nears the ground, her head begins to glow, indicating her special weapon, the Princess Cannon, is ready to be used. Regardless of team or weapon, the first player to meet her gets to use the Princess Cannon, a weapon similar to the Killer Wail from Splatoon. After aiming it with motion or Right Stick and activating it with ZR, the player moves to the side and Pearl takes over, using her battle cry to fire it. If the player is splatted before the cannon is able to fire, the next player to meet Pearl will get to use the Princess Cannon. If the player is wearing Ink Armor and gets hit in the blast, they will immediately be splatted.

The stage takes place near the fallen NILS Statue, now surrounded with jellyfish that are studying it. Sponges and bunkers can also be found across the stage.

Trivia

  • The filename for this stage is "Deli24" and the codename is "Pipe".[1]
  • This is the only Shifty Station to not be named after a shōjo manga in the Japanese version. However, months after its release, the 10th volume of the Splatoon manga included a six-page manga made by Marina titled Dear Pearl (Dear Senpai in the Japanese version) as a bonus.
  • A Chikyuu ship, like the one from Manta Maria, is seen in the background.
  • MC.Princess Diaries was the only Shifty Station that did not have its individual name displayed on the battle introduction screen during Chaos vs. Order, only displaying "Shifty Station" instead.
  • MC.Princess Diaries is the only Shifty Station that is not in an Octarian dome-like environment.
    • Because of this, it is the only stage to take place during sunset and not daytime or nighttime.
  • In Private Battles, Fly Octo Fly ~ Ebb & Flow (Octo) is the only track that plays on this stage.
  • Deca Tower is visible to the left of the NILS Statue.

Name origin

MC.Princess Diaries is named after The Princess Diaries, a series of young adult novels by Meg Cabot, as well as referencing Pearl's screen name in Marina's chat room.
