The Splatoon Splatfest Iceberg Explained

- The Splatfest Iceberg, explained. Splatfests are an event held in the Splatoon series where it pits two sides (or three sides in Splatoon 3) against each other and players battle it out in turf war to determine which side is better. In this video, I'm going to explain the entire Splatfest iceberg, uncovering all the secrets it has to hide. I hope you enjoy. This video also only covers topics in Splatoon 1 and Splatoon 2, as Splatoon 3's splatfests were not shown yet at the time of making this video.
UPDATE 3/16/2022: Yes, I know I used the wrong flag for EU. I was not aware that the UK was no longer apart of the EU when making this video, that was my mistake.
UPDATE 5/30/2022: Reddit post about the offensive nickname got deleted sadly. Likely my fault since I probably shed too much attention on it oops. Without saying too much it was a racial slur but with special characters. (if you're still curious then there's a link to a backup of it below)
UPDATE! This was found a while ago but someone tweeted at me and the pancakes vs waffles dialogue in hero mode does exist! - / 1523323173348855813

I know that the video is a year old and you probably won’t see this but I swear I also remember hearing that dialogue somewhere 13:06
When the squid sisters used to shout in ink me up during splatfest, it would depend on which team was losing at the time! If Marie's team was losing then marie would shout, and if callies team was losing then callie would shout. Kind of like a bit of motivation for each team
Yeah I remember that. Not sure why I didn't put it on here that would've been a good point
@@Coldeggman I saw it and took a picture of it
The pancakes and waffles
YO THATS SO COOL
@@pieceofbogus110 IKR I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO SPLATFEST VIDEOS WHEN I HEARD IT TO SEE IF IT WAS TRUE
the telephone ringing is the creepiest easter egg to me, as it seems like the map is a place people go on the regular even outside of turf wars. imagine walking through your town at night and just hearing a random payphone ringing and answering itself.
gave me a Tartar moment vibe
“hello? is this martin Blackwood?”
Worsened by the later significance of telephones to the series.
That “there isnt a splatfest happening right now” message actually was used intentionally in splatoon 3’s demo which is neat
That’s what I was thinking, I remember trying to replay it the next day to view the results or at least walk around and got that message
My first splatfest ever was Inkling vs Octoling in Splatoon 2. At the time however, my switch wouldn't connect to the Wi-Fi at my house (for context, the router was too old or something) so I had to play the majority of the splatfest at my grandparent's house, I chose team octoling because I didn't have the octo expansion and I wanted to play as one. And even though I lost, it was still incredibly fun. Shortly after that splatfest, my parents got a newer router, and I was able to play in every splatfest after. Splatfests are such happy little memories of mine, I hope splatoon 3 will have events like them.
Poor baby boy 👦 d
My first splatfest was the last😔
I missed the last splatfest because I didn’t have the game at the time 🥲
I wasn't part of any of the splatfests because I got both games late, So I'm looking forward to Splatfests in Splatoon 3!
Damn, feel bad for you guys I miss the good old days of the splatfests, sadly I only played a day of the last splatfest, but it was still a lot of fun, I’m still angry that team order got completely wiped tho
i remember the "do you prefer pancakes or waffles?" Dialogue. It was in one of the stages that I definitely can't remember the number or name of rn as I haven't done hero mode in ages but I remember it as being in one of the stages where you were on a moving platform and had to splat the enemies as they spawned.
That sounds just about right. Tbh I didn't even go through all the levels to see I only checked the overworld dialogue since I had a vague memory of it being in the world 5 marie dialogue.
It's the Octaoven the first boss in splatoon 2 story mode, They say that when the octo toast comes out of the oven or after when you splat the tentacle
I got the dialogue yesterday when I talked to overworld Marie on a whim, I had no idea it was rare dialogue at all!
Level 18 ?
@@Zivko_
I think I got it in Slimeskin Garrison. I remember taking a screenshot of it, not knowing it was rare at all. It was the first thing she said after I existed a kettle and talked to her.
Nice iceberg! I wanted to add one thing that I was thinking about while watching. Marina's "simulation" comment during the chicken vs egg Splatfest is actually very much in character. She had been hypnotized and controlled her whole life by the Octarian army, so she of all people would know that even though she's not hypnotized, she's still programmed to say specific things, not unlike her time in the army. Just something I wanted to point out.
Ah interesting. Yeah I never really looked much into that dialogue lol
octarians were not hypnotized. the only character that has been hypnotized was callie.
It's ambiguous as to whether the Octolings were hypnotised or not. IMO the chat logs in Splatoon 2 imply that it was more like brainwashing (in the realistic sense, like people brainwashed in a cult), not hypnotisation, and that hearing Calamari Inkantation induced a kind of spiritual awakening or enlightenment that gave Marina and other Octolings the will to leave their society.
mem-verse
@@abraham3673 and.. also agent 3/captain and marina..
the official splatoon art are on some splatfests and I find it creative. with the lil characters or items, it makes it a lot better instead of sticking transparent google images forward
Wow, this is before Marina died after losing the left twix and right twix splatfest in February 2023 delving the world into destruction and completely upending the lore. Much simpler times.
16:02 Unlike the callie and marie covers, these were never released for printing and were only used in japanese stores, so I made replicas for free use if anyone wants to print them
I'm interested is there a link for these?
May you link them?
link?
liiink?
Link?
I love how he so casually says you get to decide what the fate of the splatoon universe is
That’s weird about the thing about the incorrect team names. I took a programming class and I actually don’t see how it could’ve been that difficult to change the names. It looks like it could be done with a simple if-else statement. If I could do it, then they definitely could haha. I’m just a student though, so maybe take this with a grain of salt. :P
Yeah it's a shame because I thought that was a neat touch to actually have the team name instead of just opponents
for the splatfest tees, back during splatoon 1's era Japan also had official team callie and team marie t-shirts that came with the wristbands as well. I still have Callie's t-shirt and wrist band set sealed from back then.
huh interesting I didn't know that
You mentioned that sometimes players would join the wrong Splatfest teams in Splatoon 2 during matchmaking. I actually remember that happening to me during the Splatoon 1 Splatfest Burgers VS Pizza. I had someone from the wrong team join mine during matchmaking. I was on team Pizza and a member from team Burger joined my team. Nothing really happened beyond that. They had our ink colour and they still wore their Team Burger shirt despite playing on a Pizza team. I don’t have any photos of this happening, but if I did they’re certainly lost to time since it was like 6 years ago.
Also, great video I loved this. I can’t believe that this video was an hour long, there was so much content!
Oh wow! That's insane I've never heard of something like that. It almost makes me think that the disconnect that happens in splatoon 2 is because they maybe knew that it happened like that in splatoon 1 and they wanted to put a check in place so it doesn't happen? Very interesting nonetheless.
i think that the same thing happened to me too during the same splatfest!
It’s like how I had a 10x game against the my own team. I think it was Ice cream Vs. Cake. Two ice cream teams fought each other in a 10x battle. It was… interesting…
Nice video! My best guess is that the tie in splatfests (autobots, TMNT, Pocky, etc) had their names altered to avoid some kind of ongoing licensing fees or problems
idk if someone mentioned this but the inkling statues' laughter comes from the zelda skyward sword boss, koloktos, when you defeat them
i remember watching a video about it and that was mentioned
its basically identical
Interesting! Never knew about that
I wonder what would happen if there was an exact tie for a splatfest. I know it’s EXTREMELY unlikely, bordering on impossible, but with how close a few splatfests have been it definitely isn’t outside the realm of possibility
It would probably be like turf war and they just randomly pick one
I’ve actually never been able to participate in a splatfest despite being into splatoon since it came out, so I learned a lot from this!! Thanks for such a fun video!
P.S. thanks for including the name of the songs when they play! I really appreciate when youtubers do that ^_^
It's so surreal that stuff from the original Splatoon is regarded as obscure knowledge nowadays. I sadly never got to play Splatoon 2 as I don't own a Switch (planning to rectify that for 3), so the original one back in the WiiU was my jam. I remember being so jealous of Japan for getting the Milk and Lemon colors for that one splatfest of theirs. It's been so long I honestly forgot a lot of the choices I made, but I do distinctly recall being on Team Burger.
My first ever Splatfest was Past vs. Future in Splatoon 1. I’ve only ever lost 1 Splatfest and it was Early Bird vs. Night Owl.
I WAS ON EARLY BIRD AND HOW BADLY WE LOST WAS EMBARRASSING 😭😭😭😭😭
@@cottonnball I feel like it’s stupid to choose early bird because most splatoon players are gamer introverts that have horrible sleep schedules.
@@SuperDestroyerFox NO DUH THAT WAS WHEN I WAS A KID UNDER 10 YEARS OLD AND I DON'T CHOOSE OFF WHO'S GONNA WIN I FIGHT FOR MY TEAM
Here's some additional trivia I would like to add.
1. In Splatoons Australians participated in the same splatfests as Europeans, but in Splatoon 2 Australians participate in American splatfest. This is quite unusual especially given how often we Aussies get whatever the Euros get when it comes to gaming.
2. Also about Australia. For the Mushroom vs Star splatfest, it may have sucked for Americans having to reach the top 35 just to get those Mario 35th coins. But us Aussies and Kiwis have it even worse, you have to be in the top 10 to get a coin in Oceania.
3. I'm not sure if you've already mentioned this or not. But the following splatfest in splatoon 1 would have ended in a tie had those splatfests been decided on wins x 2:
-Fit vs rich (Europe)
-Red fox vs Green Ranuki, the second running (Japan)
-Perfect body vs perfect brain (Japan)
This is quite interesting considering that we've never had a tie ever happen. And it goes to show how fixes to a system can end up preventing certain oddities from occurring before they ever get a chance to manifest.
Very interesting! Never knew about the Australian getting one region one game and the other region the next. And wow I forgot about the top 10 thing I remember hearing about it but forgot about it when making this video. And yeah I did know about the tie thing but I suppose I never thought about putting it on the iceberg.
@@Coldeggman I originally had a link to my twitter page showing off my splatoon 2 coin. But youtube hates it when people put links in thier comments.
I live in Australia and I somehow managed to get my hands on one of these coins/medals.
@@VGF80 oh nice! that's pretty sick
@@VGF80 That's awesome!!
Did you come top 10?
What place were you?
@@sherbertshortkake6649 No idea, what I meant was, of the top 10 best players from Oceania. Haven't even made it to the top 100.
11:44 they had a fucking race war. For fun.
Just a reminder that the Inklings and Octolings fight with ink just so they are constantly murdering each other and themselves, because simply not having wars or bloodsports isn't an option for them apparently.
i learnt a lot from this! theres a lot about splatoon 1 i dont know since i never played it so it was really fun to see more about it
41:49 i actually found out if you private battle and do splatfest mode, and activate the cinnamoroll VS hello kitty, (white and light blue ink) and go on goby arena, the white ink is SO bright that it almost looks like everything is disappearing.
(match it with ninja squid for extra pain, you can’t even see the lines in the ink!)
and yes, this holds true to this day

As a fellow member of Team Ice Cream, yeah, we sucked ass from my experience. I think most of it was due to new players not knowing how to play, and most of them picking Marina's team because "she's hot." We won, but even I thought we shouldn't have.
I still remember that one splatfest in splatoon 2 where we (team mayo) lost with only 0,76% difference to ketchup on the pro mode... It was so painfull to lose that splatfest
One quirk is I worked nights during Splatoon 1’s peak, so I was almost exclusively matched with Japanese players during my playtime from time zone differences. This meant my Splatfest experience was usually a mess as I was so used to JP players and strats and connections.
Ahh, the extended version of the opening splatfest theme. Reminds me of the times I got disconnected before the match even started.
You know, I think I might be interested in this iceberg video as opposed to ones covering the general lore and franchise as a whole
Yeah I mean this topic just wasn't ever really thought of to begin with which was kinda surprising to me
I still have a clip of winning a 100x splatfest in mayo v.s. ketchup. We won by 0.3% after getting demolished most of the game. Still one of my favorite memories with splatoon 2!
i used to have online friends to play splatfests with during the first few months of splatoon 2. after we lost contact i rarely RARELY played splatfests, and i didnt play the final splatfest, its something i still regret. i need new friends to play with
I’ve never seen anything saying that inklings don’t have tongues? Plus there’s a few bits of artwork that show characters like Pearl and Marina with tongues visible. I think the fact that they don’t have one in the games is just a choice made for simplifying the models.
Holy moley, there's so much I didn't know about until I saw this! I applaud the insane effort put into this!
I didn't know you were here Eppy
45:52 while watching this video i didnt expect to see my past self in it, honestly caught me by surprise lmao
LMAO thats awesome
20:28 note: this trailer ALSO does show Rice vs Bread, the Japanese Exclusive 'first' Splatfest, but is harder to notice in the trailer due to having the same ink colors as Cat vs Dog.
this video is pretty well made, props to you for putting this all together. nice work.
Another thing I noticed that (i think) wasn't mentioned here is that in splat 2, the 10x animation seemed to be a bit "off-centred" for some splatfests. I don't know which but I know it was some. This is something that has been bugging me since 2019 and heres a good chance to say it.
Oh you're right! Yeah I noticed it too it seemed that for the global splatfests (like splatoween, frostyfest, etc.) the 10x battle text appeared "larger"? Meanwhile in "regular" splatfests it is more centered and smaller text. Very strange.
When the Final Splatfest of Splatoon 2 was going on, a tornado came though my neighborhood and I got disconnected from playing.
Honestly I really love topic of Splatfests. I only got to experience a couple in Splatoon 2 (first one was Wizard vs Knight), but they have always been quite interesting to me and an HOUR long video such as this one is perfect. Learning about Splatfest mechanics and aspects about previous Splatfests scratches an itch I didn’t even know I had. If there’s enough information, I’d love a video about Splatoon 3’s Splatfests someday!
From the future; With how chaos won over order in Splatoon 2's final splatfest, the splatlands (where the third game takes place) have a more positively chaotic setting. There are those barren wastelands yes, but the hosts for the splatfests are more diverse than before, thus adding to the "chaos" of the game. Plus it's implied that DJ Octavio may help us in story mode, so there's that too
4:09 I had 2 100X matches in the Mario Splatfest. And at least 5 or 6 10X battles that same splatfest. I guess I got lucky compared to the odds even though I was on the heavy chosen Star team lol
I forgot to mention that the increased 100x battle odds were still in effect after Chaos VS Order so the Mario splatfest had the "1/250" estimated odds not the 1/22,000 odds
@@Coldeggman Ah okay that explains a lot :D
During the section at 12:43 you forgot to mention a piece of dialogue from section 1 of Marina's chatroom where Pearl says to Marina;
MC.Princess > aka DJ Cold Breakfast, aka The Fuzzy Dazzler, aka DJ Catch-and-Release (Credit to Inkipedia)
This references the Warm Breakfast vs Cold Breakfast splatfest that was held in PAL regions only in November 2017
Oh wow I never knew that! Thanks for letting me know about that :)
wait, isn't "Fuzzy Dazzler" the name of an artists that made one of the splatoon 3 lobby songs???
32:02 i always thought the telephone ringing was a reference to octo expansion because the garbled noises at the end reminded me of tartar. Evidence of playable octolings were found in splat 1 so its not a stretch that the devs had octo expansion planned for a long time.
I had no idea 100x battles were so rare. I've gotten them twice before, and I think one was during the second ketchup vs mayo splatfest
Forgot to mention but the increased 100x battle odds were still in effect for all splatfests after chaos vs order (so in your case mayo vs ketchup #2 had the 1/250 odds)
when i first watched this and you said at the end how the video is over an hour long, i was really surprised because i'm really picky about the type of long videos that i watch
i'm rewatching this video again now because of well made it is. if you make more videos like this, i'll be sure to watch them!
Highest splatfest power was achieved by Dynamon, to probably nobody's surprised.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that Mushroom vs Star colors weren't available...
Nice to know I'm not alone
With this was such a fascinating watch I can't believe you actually managed to make a 1 hour video of splatfest lore
That was so interesting to watch!
Great job man! Learned a lot new about Splatfests even after all these years
I remember first hearing about the creepy inkwell academy phone, and I’m just now realizing it could be related to Octo Expansion and it’s very own creepy phone
the thing about the simulation dialouge from Marina actually kinda makes sense a little because she wears headphones and is the DJ
Man this video needs a lot more love! Splatfests is for me the best part of Splatoon and what makes it stand out from other shooters
God I really hope splatfests return in splat 3 I really miss them. Great vid btw!
My favorite splatfest fact is that the Testfire for splatoon 2 has the BEST version of Inkoming
I do know most of this information but I didn’t about some of the other stuff mentioned. Great Video!
I got the first Splatoon game soon after it came out, and I fondly remember playing the first Splatfest (Cats vs. Dogs) for way too many hours. And I bought a Switch the day the Splatoon 2 test fire with Cake vs Ice Crean came out, so I could participate. Splatfests are really just fancy-looking turf wars but there's something so exciting about them!! Can't wait for the first Splatoon 3 one...even though the topic is stupid (gear vs grub vs fun)
38:33 frye casually gave all the inklings tounges
This video is sick! Hopefully this gets more views that it deserves
oh and btw, splatoon 3 will have a global version instead of the latter’s NA, EU, and Japanese versions. So there will likely not be any region-locked splatfests.
EDIT: i stand corrected. It appears there will be region-specific splatfests, however it seems players will be able to choose what splatfest they would like to participate in.
Very interesting how that will play out. Like you choose which theme is your favorite amongst the 3 regions each time.
haha obanyaki go brrrrr
This video was amazing, I miss these splatfests. I remember when I first got splatoon on Wii U I didn't know about them and it was magical learining about it.
I was in a 100x battle for Chaos vs Order. That was intense
Coldeggman: “If you’re watching this in the future when splatoon 3 is out…”
Me: “My time has come.”
13:07 can confirm it does exist (she only says it when talking with calie though)
This is a very interesting video and it connects so many things I never realized before! This is a super cool iceberg vid
Watching this because of lag of Splatoon 3 news and because it got recommended from the algorithm XD. Always like to watch Splatoon lore and iceberg videos to kill time and get refreshed on Splatoon lore :D
>100x odds are about 1/22,000
...I got two in the Ketchup v Mayo rematch and we lost _both._ brb gonna cry
I forgot to mention that all the splatfests after chaos vs order still had the increased 100x battle odds. It's only about 1/22,000 for splatfests before chaos vs order. (For the global splatfests at least)
@@Coldeggman Ah. It still stings, but at least its not on the level of something like a double shiny fail.
Hana vs. Dango is not really translated but rather just romanised (花 [hana] and 団子 [dango]), which really makes the fan translation more… well, translated.
I bet many others said it already, but yeah. Just a little fun fact.
Huh, I never knew that
i remember making a tweet when i was like 8 saying smthn along the lines of "Damn it! Splatoon Splatfest is postponed in North America!" after the news came out about cats vs dogs. ahh memories
The pre singing vs dancing colour theme could have also been a teaser to cake vs ice cream as well maybe?
This feels weird, I used to watch your new leaf videos and I found your channel after forever.
damn i miss splatfests man, getting home and seeing team names was the best feeling ever
27:29 : Man you're good! I had to activate color blindness for that one because the colors where too similar for me.
If anyone wants to know what the nickname of the removed player from Sci-Fi vs Fantasy, the name was "Thick Nïg."
That's it.
I find it funny that my first and last splatfest was the Chaos Vs Order for Splatoon 2, fun as hell and I wonder what will happen during Splatoon 3
I also remember Marie asking something like do you prefer pancakes or waffles
Man, I can't wait to look forward to a new Splatfest every month. It was so fun looking forward the new theme every month
10:35
This makes the splatfests so much funnier.
The Inklings and Octolings have absolutely no idea what they’re even fighting about.
I don't always participate in splatfests, mostly because I just forget to, but i'll never forget the transformers splatfest. That was probably my favorite.
I unfortunately missed all the splatfests for the first game and only caught the mushroom vs star splatfests and missed all splatfests from 2017 and the final fest in splatoon 2 This was mostly due to me not getting the consoles during those times the events where happening. (I got my wiiu. Christmas 2017 and my switch Christmas 2020). It sucks I missed all the splatfests but I’m happy I got to play one and experience it :) (I took screenshots of it so I have memories of it saved on my switch too).
My god this is just what I needed to satisfy my inner nerd for Splatoon... Thank you so much for this. Props to all the research you did for this vid. How did I not find this sooner. I hate the YT algorithm so freaking much...
Also 10:04 I think you meant to say clothes and not chose. Maybe give a heads up in a pinned comment?
@@RyneMcKinney nah I meant to say chose as in the team players chose did not matter on if they wanted to wear the wizard or knight outfit, it didn't matter if they were on team knight or team wizard.
Be prepared for the influx of misinformed people who didn’t hear you saying that this only covers splat 1 and 2 and go “wHy No SpLaToOn 3???!??!??.!?,!!”
me watching this at 2 am instead of sleeping lol, nice video btw :D
My forst splatfest was Fancy Party vs Costume Party. We may have lost, but god it was so much fun. I still miss the special weapons in Splatoon 1, Inkstrike will be missed
awesome video!! there were several things ive never noticed despite playing the game for so long - like the small pearl/marina icons on the splatfest artwork itself! also i remember the art vs. science splatfest from splatoon 1 being very close as well
Haha "2 sides", you sweet summer child
It just hit me how old splatoon really is
Watching this while a splatoon 3 splatfest (if your watching this in the future its the Gear vs Grub vs Fun/what would you bring to a deserted island splatfest
As somebody who eats chocorooms and chococones I find it incredible to see a boardgame about them.
cut/extra splatoon content has always interested me, hell cut nintendo stuff in general due to how secretivd they are especially in terms of data
Omg I remember the time I was in a 100x battle and the worst thing is that I lost because someone threw a splat bomb at the last second (like 0.5)
22:22 thank you for the amazing voices
34:18 - That's my JP toon rocking that Dexterity shirt! 😁
I just realized I watched the whole video without realizing, a lot of the parts aren’t iceberg. But still loved vid
"And Europe" proceeds to show the flag of England who is not even in the Euro anymore
Yeah I was made aware of that lol
31:50
The one tartar phone dude from octo expansion makes those sounds. My theory is that he lured people down trying to get them to fall for the act agent 8 almost did.
13:11 I swear I got that dialog when I first started hero mode!
This is still my favorite video i still play splatoon since splatoon 2
As a person from the future, i loved this iceberg! I started playing Splatoon 3 a few days ago :]
24:50 even though you wont see the name.. I will definetly remember the clothes and gear of a trolling player or annoying player in splatoon. They often keep the same gear and weapons because they made it with abilities specifically for the weapons they like the most
I think the sounds that you here from the telephone were hinting at commander TarTar in the dlc because it sounds like TarTar at the end of octo expansion and the other sounds with it is the goop that’s all over him in the dlc 32:09
