The Splatoon Testfire was the second Splatoon demo, available after the game's launch. Similarly to the pre-release Splatoon Global Testfire, Nintendo hosted various events at specific times for players to all join the game at once. The first event took place on 21 August 2015.
A third and final demo was held in Europe and America in August 2016, roughly a month after the conclusion of the Callie vs. Marie Splatfest. The respective titles in the aforementioned regions were the Splatoon Summer Testfire 2016 and Splatoon Summer Splatdown.
