Sheldon's Dress-Up Showdown is a Challenge in Splatoon 3. Information about it was first available on 9 October 2023 at 22:00 UTC on SplatNet 3 after the conclusion of the first Modded Rainmaker Test-Fire and it was first available on 22 October 2023 during Drizzle Season 2023 as the sixteenth available Challenge in Splatoon 3.
Description
During the Challenge, each player's weapon is randomly assigned before each battle, similar to The Sheldon Sampler Challenge. Additionally, gear worn by each player is randomly assigned. The weapons and gear assigned before each battle are distributed regardless of whether players own them. The distributed pieces of gear each have their default ability and no secondary abilities regardless of the loadout found on the player's copy of the same gear if owned.
Players are randomly equipped with one of the following amiibo gear sets:
In-game info
Make the most of a random assortment of Sheldon's weapons and outfits in this come-as-you-are Challenge!
- You will be assigned an outfit and weapon at the start of battle.
- Your loadout will completely change with each subsequent battle!
- Sheldon is graciously loaning all of the equipment, so you don't need to own the items you're using. You also don't get to keep them.

Trivia
- Sheldon's Dress-Up Showdown's initial debut coinciding with Splatoween's Splatfest Sneak Peek in combination with its themed gear set distribution ruleset seem to reference Halloween costume parties.
- As the first instance of this Challenge took place before the Deep Cut amiibo were released, the three associated amiibo outfit sets were not available during that Challenge. Subsequent re-runs of the Challenge include the outfits.
