Description
After the events of theChaos vs. OrderSplatfest, Splatsville's development increased rapidly as moreInklings andOctolings started to move tothe Splatlands[1]. The city is also known as the "city of chaos," and is extremely crowded. Different shops and apartments can be seen. Planes and trains occasionally pass by, similarly to how they did inInkopolis Plaza andInkopolis Square from the previous games. There is a large staircase in the area as well, but it cannot be visited by the player. Splatsville is larger than Inkopolis Square and Inkopolis Plaza, and lacks their clean geometric layout. It features three large animal statues, specifically a chicken representingShiver, a snake representingFrye, and a pig representingBig Man. The animal statues connect to each of the three mixes ofDeep Cut's solo song,Anarchy Poisons.
