Palace vs. Theme Park vs. Beach, also known as Summer Nights, was a seasonal special Splatfest in Splatoon 3. It was the first Splatfest to take place during Sizzle Season 2024. The event was announced on social networks on 28 May 2024^[1] with the theme and date later being announced on 21 June 2024.^[2]

Details

This was the first Splatfest to allow conch shells to be rewarded after winning 10x, 100x and 333x Battles. The newly-introduced Conch Clashes also function in a similar fashion, and can be triggered when both teams in a battle are on the same Splatfest team.

As a special Splatfest, Summer Nights is accompanied by several cosmetic changes to the game, as well as new gear:

Splatsville, Inkopolis Plaza, and Inkopolis Square are decorated with a summer theme. These decorations include hanging flowers, artificial palm trees, inflatable flamingos, multiple pool floats, balloons and ice cream. The kitsune statue in Inkopolis Plaza and the tortoise statue in Inkopolis Square can be seen wearing sunglasses, while the origami crane statue in the Square has a pool float around its neck and balloons tied to its head. Small rising air bubbles can be seen throughout all three lobbies, as if they are underwater.
In the lobby, translucent stickers shaped like pufferfish and water droplets appear when the floor and wall are inked.
Deep Cut, the Squid Sisters, and Off the Hook wear special outfits.
- Shiver's eyebrows, shawl and hair change to yellow, the latter having a gradient to purple towards the tips. She wears green leaf-shaped earrings in place of her usual ones, and an ornament resembling a large, curved lime slice pierced with light wooden chopsticks on her head. Her sarashi and charm tassels are changed to black, her shawl presents a dark yellow swirl circle pattern, and the soles of her shoes are electric blue; her fingertips are colored purple.
- Frye's hair, eyelashes, shawl, and eyebrows are changed to blue. She wears green leaf-shaped earrings in place of her usual ones, and two blueberry-shaped ornaments on each side of her head, the left one also having another smaller blueberry on the front. Her usual shirt is colored white, while her pants are dark blue with a lighter swirly circle pattern and her socks are black; her fingertips and toe tips, as well as the holes on her pants and the tassels of her charm, are colored yellow.
- Big Man has a coloration reminiscent of watermelon, with his body being green with a white stripe in the middle and his fins being red with a gradient to white towards the bottom, a magenta swirl pattern and black seed shapes. He wears a pair of magenta sunglasses on his head.
- The Squid Sisters wear completely new, black and holographic outfits that do not bear any similarity with their usual ones. Callie wears a holographic strapless crop top with two zippers on the sides, a matching miniskirt, a light black mesh covering her midriff, and black tights; her footwear consists in a pair of silver ankle boots with black laces and chunky-heeled holographic soles. Similarly to her, Marie also wears a holographic strapless crop top, but it does not feature zippers; in place of Callie's miniskirt, mesh and tights, she wears baggy black suspenders and has her midriff bare, while her shoes are the same as her cousin's. They both wear lemon slices as ornaments, with Callie's having a prawn and a rosemary twig, and Marie's having an oyster and dill. Both of them also have new haircuts, with their back tentacles having been cut on the tips and their bangs straightened; Callie's bangs are one piece and feature short swirly sideburns, while Marie's are split in three and feature chunkier sideburns. The tips of their tentacles are colored lilac; Callie wears a cuff on the top of her left ear, while Marie wears black chain earrings on both.
- Off the Hook wear outfits similar to their usual ones, with Pearl wearing a black version of her usual dress and boots, accompanied by her usual gloves and dark gray tights; her crown is replaced by a black mesh baseball cap with a holographic studded front, while her left front tentacle has a piercing-like ring on it, similar to her appearance in the music video for the song Suffer No Fools. Marina wears a holographic version of her usual shirt and shorts, while her boots, headphones and gloves are the usual black; she wears a straight purple visor on her eyes, dark gray tights, and her tentacles have a gradient to purple, while her fingers still change between the three team colors every stage rotation. She also wears a ring matching Pearl's on her back left tentacle, plus two more on her front right tentacle (which could not be seen in promotional photos due to the angle).
Characters in the cities and lobby such as jellyfish, Staff, Judd, Murch, and Smallfry wear yellow, aqua, and pink party hats decorated with various patterns.
A special news article in the Nintendo Switch news rewards players with six unique pieces of headgear:
Music is added or modified for the Splatfest.
- A special surf rock song, Suntan Ocean, plays in the lobby instead of Soak & Stomp. Crab-N-Go also plays a unique samba-style theme.
- The title screen has a new sound, along with the Deep Cut intro.
- Anarchy Poisons is modified for the Splatfest to add steel drums and a guitar.
- A special mambo rendition of Anarchy Rainbow is performed during the second half, played in a major key.
- Opening is modified to add timbales and steel drums.
- Ego Overboard and Still Swimmin' are remixed with a more "tropical" style, with additional vocal ad libs from Shiver, Frye, and Big Man. Ego Overboard is played in a calypso style, while Still Swimmin' is played in a swung reggae style.
The battle opening is modified with water splash effects and dancing squid and octopus icons. Bubbles appear in midair during the first few seconds of a match, similar to those in the hubs.
This Splatfest has a special ink variant, with animated streaks in a lighter shade resembling water caustics. This ink effect is not applied during mirror matches with the same team.
The TV screens in Splatsville display unique videos related to the summer theme of the Splatfest.

The Tricolor Turf War stage for this Splatfest was Hagglefish Market.

Shiver “Which would you reserve for a day? A palace, theme park, or beach?”	Frye “Summer is here, and the heat is on!”
Shiver “My choice is a palace, where you can live it up royal-style.”
	Frye “I'm going with a theme park. Rides! Games! Carnival food! What's not to love?!”
	Big Man “Ay! (I'd rent out a beach for that blue horizon, white sands, and good friends!)”
Frye “Whew! This is a choice I can get behind!”	Big Man “Ay. (I wouldn't mind spending a day at any of these.)”
Shiver “I've never been to a palace, but I assume everything there is the absolute finest.”
Shiver “I'd wear swanky clothes for the occasion and dine on five-star meals before the ball.”	Frye “Before the brawl? Ooo, is there gonna be some stylish violence at this thing?”
Shiver “And come bedtime, I'd sleep soundly on a four-poster fit for a queen.”	Big Man “Ay. (Careful, or normal beds might be ruined for you forever.)”
	Frye “Eh, I'd be too worried about breaking stuff. Gimme a theme park where I can run wild!”
	Frye “Biggest benefit of reserving it: no lines! We can ride whatever we want, all we want.”
	Frye “If it's Wahoo World, I can take a bunch of photos with Fresh Fish. My sisters will flip!”
Shiver “Since when has there ever been a line for the Fresh Fish meet and greet?”
	Big Man “Ay? Ay! (Aren't theme parks more fun with a crowd? I'd rather reserve a beach!)”
	Big Man “Ay. (I could zone out watching the waves, or go surfing if that ever gets dull.)”
	Big Man “Ay! (And there's no sight like the setting sun reflecting off the water!)”
Frye “Save it for the tourism board, buddy.”
	Frye “This topic makes me wonder what everyone else would do with their choice for a day.”
Shiver “Speaking of which, you've had that manga I lent you for a lot longer than a day, Frye.”
	Frye “Oops, almost out of time! Look forward to our special outfits during the Splatfest!”
Shiver “Frye. I am getting it back, aren't I?”
	Big Man “Ay... Ay! (Um... The plaza will be decked out for the event too! Wait till you see!)”
Shiver “Be sure to check the Nintendo Switch News app for your own festive gear!”

	Big Man “Ay! Ay! (Team Beach wins! It shore feels good!)”
Shiver “What a royal disappointment.”	Frye “I am NOT amused!”
	Big Man “Ay. Ay! (Our steady waves wore down the competition. Give it up for Team Beach!)”
Shiver “Team Palace may not have won the crown, but you're all royalty to me.”	Frye “It was a real roller coaster of emotions, huh, Team Theme Park?”
	Big Man “Ay? (If the three of us did reserve a beach, what would you two want to do?)”
Shiver “Hm. Good question.”
Shiver “I think I'd be most interested in racing around on a water scooter.”	Frye “I'd smash watermelons, play volleyball, and... Oh! Make a huge sandcastle!”
Notes: Frye's comment about smashing watermelons is a reference to suikawari, a game often played on the beach in Japan during the summer.
Frye “What about you, though, Big Man?”	Big Man “Ay. (I'd watch the ocean to relax and let my mind wander, thinking of new songs.)”
Shiver “Doesn't quite sound like any of us are on the same page here.”	Big Man “Ay. Ay! (But that's what's great about the beach. Everyone finds their own groove!)”

Haya “Wat zou je een dag willen afhuren? Een paleis, pretpark of strand?” (What would you rent for one day? A palace, amusement park, or beach?)	Muriël “Het is zomer en hoog tijd voor een droomvakantie!” (It is summer and high time for a dream vacation!)
Haya “Stel je voor dat je een paleis kon afhuren, voor een vorstelijk verblijf vol luxe!” (Imagine that you could rent a palace, for a regal residence full of luxury!)
	Muriël “Of wat dacht je van een pretpark, met attracties, spelletjes en allerlei snoep?!” (Or how about an amusement park, with attractions, little games, and all kinds of candy?!)
	Ray “Ay! (Of een strand, met een blauwe zee, zacht wit zand en sfeervolle avonden!)” (Ay! (Or a beach, with a blue sea, soft white sand, and atmospheric evenings!))
Muriël “Ha, dat zie ik ook wel zitten!” (Ha, I would be up for that too!)	Ray “Ay. (Ik zie alle drie deze opties wel zitten.)” (Ay. (I would be up for all three of these options.))
Haya “Ik ben nog nooit in een paleis geweest, maar alles is daar vast het neusje van de zalm!” (I have never been in a palace before, but everything there must be the crème de la crème!)
Haya “Met heerlijke diners, prachtige gala's en bediening die altijd voor je klaarstaat...” (With delicious dinners, splendid galas, and attendance who are always standing by you...)	Muriël “Dat mag ik hopen. Ik ga echt niet in een paleis zitten als de tv geen afstandsbediening heeft!” (I should hope so. No way I would be in a palace when the tv has no remote control!)
Notes: Frye misunderstands Shiver's comment on there being bediening as something that operates a device instead of staff that serves you.
Haya “En dan kan ik me 's avonds heerlijk uitstrekken in een enorm hemelbed.” (And then I can stretch myself out gloriously in an enormous canopy bed at night.)	Ray “Ay. (Kijk maar uit, want daarna wil je vast nooit meer in een normaal bed slapen.)” (Ay. (Better watch out, cause after that, you are bound to never want to sleep in a normal bed anymore.))
	Muriël “Ik zou me niet thuis voelen tussen die dure zooi. Geef mij maar een pretpark om me uit te leven!” (I would not feel at home between that expensive stuff. Just give me an amusement park to indulge myself!)
	Muriël “Het is het 100% waard om een pretpark af te huren, want dan hoef je niet in de rij te staan!” (It is 100% worth it to rent an amusement park, cause then you don't have to stand in line!)
	Muriël “En in Waterwonderland heb ik dan alle tijd om met Vismaatje op de foto te gaan!” (And in Wahoo World, I will then have all the time to get a picture with Fresh Fish!)
Haya “Dus alle vrijheid voor jou, maar niet voor Vismaatje? Arme Vismaatje...” (So all the freedom for you, but not for Fresh Fish? Poor Fresh Fish...)
	Ray “Ay? (Leuk al die actie van het pretpark, maar wat als je wat wilt luieren?)” (Ay? (Sounds nice all that action in the amusement park, but what if you wanted to laze about some?))
	Ray “Ay. (Op het strand kun je loom naar de golven staren, maar ook surfen als je wilt.)” (Ay. (On the beach you can stare lazily at the waves, but you can surf too if you want.))
	Ray “Ay! (En geen attractie kan op tegen de zonsondergang die glinstert in het water!)” (Ay! (And no attraction beats the sunset glistening in the water!))
Muriël “Met dat soort leuzen kun je een reisbureau beginnen...” (With that sort of slogans you can begin a travel agency...)
	Muriël “Waar zouden anderen voor gaan als ze iets een dag helemaal voor zichzelf konden hebben?” (What would other people be going for if they could have something completely for themselves for a day?)
Haya “Over 'hebben' gesproken... Hoe zit het met dat stripboek dat je van me hebt geleend?” (Speaking of 'having'... How about that comic book that you have borrowed from me?)
	Muriël “Oeps! De tijd zit er bijna op! Kom naar het Splatfest! We zullen ons feestelijk verkleden!” (Oops! The time is almost up! Come to the Splatfest! We will dress up festively!)
Haya “Muriël, je geeft het wel aan me terug, toch?” (Frye, surely you will be giving it back to me, right?)
	Ray “Ay... Ay! Ay! (Ehhh... En het plein zal ook versierd zijn! Komt dat zien!” (Ay... Ay! Ay! (Uhhh... And the square will also be decorated! Step right up!)
Haya “Ga naar het nieuwskanaal op de Nintendo Switch om je eigen feestkleding te krijgen.” (Go to the news channel on the Nintendo Switch to get your own festive clothing.)

Pasquale « Sans hésiter, je choisis la vie de château, avec tout un tas de gens à mon service ! » (Without hesitation, I choose to be the king of the castle, with loads of people at my service!)

Pasquale « Et après, j'irais m'endormir douillettement dans un lit à baldaquin XXL. » (And after that, I'd sleep snugly in a king-size canopy bed.)	Raimi « Ay.

Кулла «Что бы вы арендовали на целый день? Дворец, парк развлечений или пляж?» (What would you rent for a whole day? Palace, amusement park, or beach?)	Мурия «Лето пришло, атмосфера накаляется!» (Summer has come, the atmosphere's heating up!)
Кулла «Что может быть лучше роскошного дворца и королевской жизни!» (What can be better than a luxurious palace and the royal life!)
	Мурия «Мой выбор – парк развлечений. Горки, игры, еда! Ура и еще раз ура!» (My choice is the amusement park. Slides, games, food! Hurray and hurray again!)
	Биг Ман «Ик! (Нежиться на белоснежном пляже и смотреть в синюю даль с друзьями!)» (Ay! (Basking on a snow-white beach and looking into the blue with friends!))
Мурия «Ха! А тоже ничего!» (Huh! That's quite something too!)	Биг Ман «Ик. (Если честно, мне все три варианта по душе.)» (Ay. (To be honest, all three options are to my liking.))
Кулла «Я никогда не бывала во дворце, но думаю, в нем все должно быть идеально.» (I've never visited a palace before, but I think everything in it should be perfect.)
Кулла «Я надену вечернее платье и полакомлюсь перед балом изысканными блюдами.» (I will wear an evening dress and enjoy gourmet dishes before the ball.)	Мурия «Перед балом? Значит, еще и вечеринку планируешь? Наверняка с дракой...» (Before the ball? So you're also planning a party? With a fight, most probably...)
Кулла «А ночь проведу я на самых пышных перинах, как настоящая королева.» (As for the night, I'll spend it on the fluffiest feather bed like a true queen.)	Биг Ман «Ик? (А потом всю жизнь спать на обычных кроватях? Ну уж нет...)» (Ay? (And sleeping on the regular beds for your whole life after that? Hell no...))
	Мурия «Э, я бы боялась все там разломать. Вот парк развлечений – совсем другое дело!» (Uh, I'd be afraid to break everything in there. But the amusement park is a whole different story!)
	Мурия «К тому же, если арендовать целиком, то и очередей не будет. Катайся не хочу!» (Besides, if you rent it whole, there will be no lines either. Ride all you like!)
	Мурия «В луна-парке «Язь» я бы сфоткалась с Плавнишкой. Мои сестры обзавидуются!» (At Wahoo World, I'd take a pic with Fresh Fish. My sisters will die of envy!)
Кулла «На фотосессии с Плавнишкой очередей и так никогда не бывает...» (There are never any lines at the photo shoots with Fresh Fish anyway...)
	Биг Ман «Ик! (Разве весело в парке развлечений в одиночку? Вот на пляже – да!)» (Ay! (Is it really that fun being at an amusement park alone? One a beach, though – it is!))
	Биг Ман «Ик. (Я смогу просто смотреть на волны, а если надоест, пойду серфить.)» (Ay. (I can just watch the waves, and if I get bored, I'll go surfing.))
	Биг Ман «Ик! (А лучи заходящего солнца на воде? С этим зрелищем ничто не сравнится!)» (Ay! (What about the rays of the setting sun on the water surface? Nothing can compare to such spectacle!))
Мурия «Ты такие речи туристам задвигай, ладно?» (You better push such speeches to tourists, okay?)
	Мурия «Так интересно, что бы арендовало большинство!» (So curious what the majority would rent!)
Кулла «Кстати, Мурия, где мои комиксы, которые ты у меня тоже «арендовала»?» (By the way, Frye, where are my comics that you also «rented» from me?)
	Мурия «Упс! Время-то подошло к концу! Пора примерять наряды к Сплатфесту!» (Oops! Looks like the time's up! It's time to try on the outfits for the Splatfest!)
Кулла «Мурия, ты вернешь комиксы или нет?!» (Frye, will you return the comics or not?!)
	Биг Ман «Ик... Ик! (Э... Площадь тоже приукрасим к Сплатфесту! Скоро все увидите сами!)» (Ay... Ay! (Uh... We'll also decorate the square nicely for the Splatfest! You'll see it all yourself soon!))
Кулла «Посмотрите снаряжение для Сплатфеста в приложении Nintendo Switch News!» (Check out the Splatfest gear in the Nintendo Switch News app!)

	Биг Ман «Ик? (Если бы мы втроем арендовали пляж, что бы вы делали?)» (Ay? (If the three of us were to rent a beach, what would you do?))
Кулла «Хм, хороший вопрос.» (Hm, good question.)
Кулла «Думаю, можно было бы погонять на водных мотоциклах.» (I think we could ride some jet skis.)	Мурия «Я бы лопала арбузы, играла в волейбол и... построила из песка огромный замок!» (I'd munch on watermelons, play valleyball and... build a giant castle out of sand!)
Мурия «А ты, Биг Ман?» (And you, Big Man?)	Биг Ман «Ик. (Я бы смотрел на океан, мечтал и придумывал новые песни...)» (Ay. (I'd watch the ocean, dream, and come up with the new songs...))

Trivia

This is the first special Splatfest event that is original to Splatoon 3 as all other special Splatfest events were previously featured in Splatoon 2.
The Splatfest was announced on 28 May 2024, the ninth anniversary of the original Splatoon in Japan.
This is the first Splatfest during which an idol (Callie and Marie in this case) has a completely different hairstyle as a part of their special costume.
- In Callie's case, this is the second instance her model has had a different hairstyle, the first being her look in Return of the Mammalians.
Promotional screenshots posted on Twitter before the Splatfest showed an Octoling wearing a Splatfest Tee with a purple Lionfish Funface on the front instead of the Beach icon, possibly to avoid spoilers. The Splatfest Tees shown in the promotional picture of the Splatfest's themed gear lack team icons altogether.
Had this Splatfest used the results scoring system from before version 7.0.0's release, which only awards points for the winner of each results category, then Team Theme Park would have been declared the winner. ^[5]
As of this Splatfest, only the teams Big Man represented have won all seasonal Splatfests in Splatoon 3.
One of the TV screen animations for Summer Nights parodies the Bemani rhythm game series Dance Dance Revolution, using squid icons instead of arrows.
