MakoMart is a multiplayerstage inSplatoon 2 andSplatoon 3. It is modeled after a supermarket or grocery store. It is also one of the stages that can haveTricolor Turf Wars.
Layout
MakoMart is a fairly openstage in terms of tractability, with very few areas that a function as inescapable choke points. Leading from each team'sspawn point, players can either jump straight down into the accessible battlefield, head left to immediately face aInkrail which takes them closer to the center of the stage, or head right up a ramp to the far-right side. After dropping down, a large wall provides coverage and a vantage point for the team which cannot be accessed from the other side. Players can either head to the open path to the left which enemies can enter through, or up the barricade or ramps to gain a vantage point. The center portion of the stage features a raised area with two large obstacles on each side with a box in the center. Two narrow hallways line the outer side of this area, withinkable walls to get directly back to the center. To each team's right is a bit of open space with a ramp. Due to having a direct open path to the center, MakoMart facilitates a quick pace.
Ranked Battle terrain
InRanked Battles, specifications for the terrain or placement of objects are different between themodes; these changes create new paths or new objects to take cover behind.
Splat Zones
The Splat Zone is located at the center of the stage and consists of all the area between the two main blocks. Thespawn point for each team has been moved to the wider platform to the right of the original spawn point. Notable changes to the stage layout include an expansion to the raised area to each team's immediate left as well assponges added at ground level. Minor blocks have been added and removed, and the center block in the Splat Zones is removed, replaced with a widebumper.
Tower Control
The Tower is located at the center of the stage in place of the original box. The spawn point is roughly in the same place as in Splat Zones, though pushed back a bit more. The Tower travels towards the enemy's side before going down the ramp to its left, then raising shortly before traveling right to the entrance to the enemy base. It then travels a bit further and reaches the goal, which is just past the opening.

Rainmaker
TheRainmaker is located at the center of the stage on top of the block. The position of the spawn point is radically different, being on the immediate left of the Turf Wars spawn point, just before theInkrail, with the area raised even more than normal. The goals are located at the same location of the spawn point inTurf Wars with a large slope to make the area accessible. The main two options to get to the goal is either through the normally accessible open path to each team's left or on the other side. An inkable block has been added to allow players to enter into the opposing team's base through the upper route.
Clam Blitz
The baskets are located just on the opposing sides of the center raised area on the uninkable surface with a bump added. The spawn point is in the same location as it is in Tower Control. An inkable block is added to the left to allow players to jump to the same layer as the basket. An inkable ramp is also added to the right to make getting to the basket easier.
Tricolor Turf War terrain
In theTricolor Turf War variant of MakoMart the whole spawn area was changed with the left side of the spawn almost missing completely, only adding a platform, where theOut-of-bounds area normally is, as a spawn for the defending team. The right side, which functions as a spawn for the attacking teams, is somewhat similar to the original variant, only leveling the terrain to be flatter than before. On the middle level of the right side aSponge was added and the ramp that normally goes down, instead goes up. The block that is added in different other modes like Rainmaker is also present. On the lower area of the right side some blocks were added to make getting into the middle easier and in the middle it self a pedestal for theUltra Signal was added, the rest of the stage is unchanged.
