Stages are arenas where battles take place in theSplatoon series' multiplayermodes. The term can also refer to the job sites inSalmon Run.

Overview

Each game in theSplatoon series has a selection of stages for multiplayer battles. Each stage has its own unique scenery and layout, and some stages featuremechanics that were introduced in single-player modes. User-madeposts are displayed in the background of stages, such as on signs or asgraffiti. Every game has added more stages to the lineup in post-release updates. Many stages have returned in a later game after their introduction, with adjustments to their layout.

The online multiplayer modes in each game use stage rotations, with two stages available at a time for each mode. One of the two current stages is randomly chosen for every battle. Each stage rotation lasts for four hours inSplatoon, and for two hours inSplatoon 2 andSplatoon 3. The player can view the current and next rotation in the in-game menu as well as a 24-hour overview onSplatNet 2 andSplatNet 3.

Stages have slight layout differences between modes (Turf War,Splat Zones,Tower Control,Rainmaker, andClam Blitz). Additionally, stages can have their layout tweaked in updates. On several occasions, a stage receiving a major layout change in an update was temporarily removed from rotations for a few days beforehand (explained in-universe as the stage closing for renovations), before returning with its new layout upon the release of the update.

Whenever the player starts the game, the stages that are currently in rotation are announced inInkopolis News inSplatoon andSplatoon 2 orAnarchy Splatcast inSplatoon 3; this also happens upon every rotation change inSplatoon andSplatoon 3 (though in the latter, the broadcast is automatically set to being listened to). In Inkopolis News inSplatoon, theSquid Sisters present and provide commentary on each stage individually: the twoRegular Battle stages and the twoRanked Battle stages. In Inkopolis News inSplatoon 2,Off the Hook present two stages at a time (the two Regular Battle stages, then the two Ranked Battle stages, then the twoLeague Battle stages), providing commentary on only the second stage of each pair. In Anarchy Splatcast inSplatoon 3, all stages are shown at once if the player is watching the broadcast or are shown in quick succession if they are listening to it: two stages each for Regular Battle,Anarchy Battle (Series), Anarchy Battle (Open),X Battle (if unlocked), andChallenge (if active). This is then followed by commentary fromDeep Cut on one random stage from the current Regular Battle rotation. In all games, each stage has several comments that the idols can make, with one being chosen at random; however, inSplatoon 3 prior toversion 4.0.0, Deep Cut did not have unique dialogue for stages and would instead say a randomly chosen generic comment. During aSplatfest inSplatoon 2, Off the Hook would instead introduce each stage individually like in the first game, but with a Splatfest-exclusive comment for each one. During a Splatfest inSplatoon 3, Deep Cut's stage comment (or generic comment prior to version 4.0.0) is changed to a Splatfest-exclusive comment.

In thelobby inSplatoon andSplatoon 2, the player can select any stage that is currently in rotation to playrecon on. InSplatoon 3, they can speak to theRecon Guide in order to pick any stage in the game to play recon on, or select any stage in the current or next two rotations using the stages tab in the menu. However, the player cannot select stages inSalmon Run or from theChallenges section.

InPrivate Battles in all three games, the host can choose from any stage in the game to play on, as well as an option to select randomly.Splatoon 2 also features a Splatfest mode for Private Battles, added inversion 5.0.0, that changes the stages to use their Splatfest visuals as well as allowing anyShifty Station layout to be selected.

Splatfest

During aSplatfest, all stages are visually changed to be set at night. InSplatoon, a set selection of three stages would be used as the rotation for the entire Splatfest, with the three stages used being different in each Splatfest.

InSplatoon 2, two of the stages would rotate every two hours as usual during a Splatfest, but in addition to the two normal stages, the rotation would also always include theShifty Station, a Splatfest-exclusive stage with a different layout in each Splatfest. Usually, a single Shifty Station layout was used for the entire Splatfest, but inChaos vs. Order, all 23 previous Shifty Stations returned, with two in each rotation for the first 48 hours (except in the final one of these rotations, which only included one layout), followed by a new layout,MC.Princess Diaries, being the only one used for the final 24 hours. TheSuper Mushroom vs. Super Star Splatfest featured four Shifty Station layouts, with the one used changing with each rotation. TheSplatoon 2 Splatfest World Premiere did not include Shifty Station at all, instead only featuring the standard two stages per rotation.

InSplatoon 3, stages rotate every two hours as normal during Splatfests, with Open and Pro Splatfest Battles each using a separate rotation of two stages.Tricolor Turf War becomes available after the Halftime Report and uses only one stage, with a different stage in each Splatfest. Stages used in Tricolor Turf War have layout changes to accommodate for the mode (most notably,Scorch Gorge is entirely transformed into a triangular stage).Shiver vs. Frye vs. Big Man instead featured all eight previous Tricolor Turf War stages, with one chosen at random for each battle. InPast vs. Present vs. Future, Tricolor Turf War was available for the entire Splatfest rather than only after the Halftime Report; it featured all sixteen previous Tricolor Turf War stages, which rotated every two hours for the first 32 hours, followed by one being chosen at random each battle for the next 16 hours, and the exclusiveGrand Splatlands Bowl being the only Tricolor Turf War stage for the final 24 hours. Splatfests following the Grand Festival each feature two Tricolor Turf War stages, with one of the two chosen at random for each battle.

Salmon Run

Salmon Run inSplatoon 2 andSalmon Run Next Wave inSplatoon 3 use their own stages, separate to the other modes. One stage is used per rotation. When playing Salmon Run locally inthe Shoal in both games or online in a Private Job inSplatoon 3, the host can select the stage, much like in aPrivate Battle.

InSplatoon 3, during aBig Run event, the usual Salmon Run stages are replaced by a particular stage from the multiplayer battle modes, used as the sole stage for online Salmon Run for the duration of the event. The stage used varies between each Big Run event. In the BIG Big Run, six stages were used rather than only one, with one of them being randomly chosen for every shift. Originally, the stage(s) used in a Big Run would be removed from the rotation in multiplayer battle modes until the end of the event; however, since the Big Run on theGrand Splatlands Bowl, Big Run stages have reappeared in the same order as since the first onWahoo World without being removed from the battle rotation.

Stage data

By analyzing the percentages shown at the end of a match, it is possible to know what a stage'sinkablesurface area is. For instance, at the end of a match, if one team gets 400Battle Points and the other gets 600 (for a total of 1000 points of turf inked), and the percentages for each are 33.3% and 50%, respectively, that means the stage's total possible turf area is 1200 points (400 * (1 / 0.333) = 600 * (1 / 0.5) = 1200).

However, since the display is rounded down, the result may sometimes be ambiguous and multiple results need to be intersected to reach the exact number. For example, for 600p and 50%, any total in the range 1198-1200p would result in 50.0% when rounding down to 0.1% - but if another result was collected showing that 751p is 62.5% (possible totals: 1200-1201p), the only possible value that satisfies both is exactly 1200p. Calculating using the total (in the example above, (400 + 600) * (1 / (0.333 + 0.5)) ) should be avoided, as it doubles the margin of error and could give even less accurate results.
