No just the plaza, and even that i dont think looks that amazing. Theres no cool change or anything to the actual splatfest. No cool stage gimmicks or gameplay variation to make it feel a little special. Just the same old turf war and horrid tricolor.
It's pretty good but as someone who didnt care for splatfests before I don't really feel a reason to play it. Im just watching everyone in the plaza LOL

@@rawoo9385 but u will get less clout if they win instead of you, it's just poor game design really. getting more clout incentivises u to attack them even if they are technically on ur team
This map legit feels like a shifty station that isn't called "shifty station" and I'm all for it. Might not be as crazy as others but feels kinda like M.C. Princess Diaries to me
ThI’m s stage don’t hold a candle to MC princess diaries bringing back an old special for a splatfest and the hyper bombs were cool interactive features of the stage this new stage don’t got that really
i actually like this more than MC princess diaries, and yes, i have played both. The amount of detail present here (crowds, panel screens, idol performance, dynamic music, etc) makes the stage feel more full and alive than MC princess diaries. MC makes for it with awesome gimmicks like the hyperbombs and princess cannon, which are awesome! But once the novelty wears off the stage terrain is somewhat bland and flat, whereas the terrain of Grand Splatlands Bowl has more verticality and strategic elements (climbable support beams, inkrail to mid, dynamic platform, etc). It also happens to be the 4th vertically symmetrical stage in splatoon which is kinda cool! Overall i can enjoy playing this stage for a lot longer than MC princess diaries because i find it more interesting to strategize in. that’s just my opinion tho!
This one was an amazing map for salmon run but there’s just no good entrance points for the attacking teams. And the defending team can get locked into their corner if the attackers do really good.
Actually yes the music changes in the last minute depending on which team grabs the second ultra signal! In your match team present grabbed the second signal so off the hook started singing in the last minute. The same happens with past and future :)
Worth noting too that there's no second Sprinkler of Doom, the second signal makes the idols that take the stage shoot giant fizzbangs while they cheer for you.
I’ve never really been into any of the Splatfests in Splat 3. Some of them were fun for a bit, but I didn’t really care about them at all. But this Splatfest is actually so tremendously cool. Especially the new hub with all of the idol groups preforming. They did a phenomenal job making it feel like an actual performance, and not just some characters on a screen
Same! I've spent more time playing matches and vibing in the crowd of jellies this fest than I usually do! I do hope they pull a Splat 2 and replay the splatfests for those who couldn't experience them for the first time...
@@5omewhat0fal0serIt's been confirmed it will be possible with an idol amiibo (any Callie, Marie, Pearl, Marina, Shiver, Frye, Big Man) to revisit the grandfest hub at any phase, including the final 2 hours that might be hard to be in for certain timezones (mine is from midnight to 2 am)
It’s actually so so so cool how the idols are in the back of the stage once both signals are captured, I NEED more people to notice that. Not just like the pngs like THEY SHOW UP BACK THERE
This is so nice, I want to cry...This feels like the grandest thing they've done for Splatoon no doubt, and it's fantastic, and the song as always is top tier
0:35 If you check photo mode you can see that they hust aggressively compress anything that isn't directly in front of you until you take a picture lol
Salmon run framerate issue is prob bc of the cpu Tbf there's many salmanoids with their own adaptive AI, and all the eggs that have interactive flags Also the jelloes become low poly when far salmanoids don't Also there's def moving texture magic going for the jellies that are really far in the moutains Overall super impressive but samon run is basically a diff thing with its own problems
Sad he only got mirrors!! The music is so much more different in non mirrors depending on who gets the signals (im on team present and have been in plenty of non mirrors)
Spawn areas are extremely large. Getting signals is harder than most maps but 2 signals cover 50% of the area that isn't spawn. There are some routes, but the areas are quite flat and simple. Imo it's not the best tricolor map, but it isn't the worst. It's fitting for the grand festival, but it could have been better, like a little more complexity with routes, and especially the drop from attacker spawn (literally 1 straight edge). The venue and the music are very cool (and the fact we got to play tricolor every day differently I applaud), but since they have made a tricolor stage for almost every splatfest, I don't feel like we got the coolest stage.
I'm on team past and have only gotten a mirror match once. That might be why we're winning honestly EDIT: I can't believe we won, wow. It's gonna be really interesting to see Splatoon 4 looks with the past in mind
Most likely, I'm on team present and around 70% of my matches are mirror matches, I genuinely regret picking this team because of all the mirror matches. It hasn't been that enjoyable
Past here, ive mostly only run into Team Present, with Future making cameos literally twice. I honestly feel bad for Team Present bc of all the mirror matches they're getting but tbh i feel like thats why Past is winning rn...
@@unl3ash3d95 Both my and the other team got spawncamped for the whole 3 minutes with both of us having less than 9% of the map colored, and the defenders having 80+% colored and spawncamping both of the teams... Yeah that did not bod well for my judgement of it
@@TheFrantastic mb that could’ve been me 😂 when ur defending it feels like that’s the only way to prevent the enemy team from getting near the ultra signal. Did u happen to be an octobrush or aerospray user?
To me, this Tricolor map feels pretty attacker-favored (at least in the less-than-amazingly-skilled environment of fest turf war.) Though it would be interesting to see a mode with more of the sort of king-of-the-hill focus this stage the Bowl has. (Every game of Tricolor I played ended either in the defending team staking out on the raised platform and holding it all game, or losing that position and never taking it back.)
@@weirdpuppet326 I said in my games it feels that way. I did not run into many intelligent players (and I saw maybe 5 players using anything with more range than a Splattershot Pro over the course of 4 hours) so it might just be that defense is really hard to carry on if the matchmaking gods curse you with hold-forward Sploosh players for teammates
@@weirdpuppet326 I’m on team past, and I think I won like 2 out the dozen or so games I had on defense, in in both of those games I had two or three teammates match my 10+ K/A record. It kinda sucks, cause it feels like team Past is gonna just get stomped in Tricolor and lose the category for sure. Also, unrelated, but is it just me or are the team placements on the map pre-determined? _Every_ game I played on office put Team Past on the left side.
I didn't play that many matches on the stage (maybe seven or so), but I for one felt it to be quite defender favoured. If at least one or two defenders camp the raised platform, it's pretty difficult for attackers to successfully grab the signal. Only say attackers win once, and that was when one of the attacking teams was running double Vanilla Tri Slosher and most of the rest of the lobby didn't know how to fight the thing.
also the music for this tricolor has the same song done by each of the 3 idols, which the game would switch between them on the fly based on who's in lead at the moment in the match, the now or never is replaced by a squid sisters remix, ebb & flow, and something new for deep cut ( not sure if determined by the team you pledged, or also by whose in lead at the time it goes into one minute remaining ) but in the game's files, its one track with 3 layers
I used both hydra splatlings, both decavitators, both wellstring Vs and the inkline tri stringer in the few times I played on this map. I had a much more fun time when using the mint decavitator and charcoal decavitator.
When you lose against another team, the music is actually a remix of that team's game's victory theme (Past - Splat 1; Present - Splat 2; Future - Splat 3), which was pretty hilarious. In a mirror, it's just your own game's losing theme.
Chara where is your reaction to the Emojis or whatever? They're called on the d-pad. Anyways, I wish they would have put this amount of effort into the actual gameplay but this is amazing. I love the stage. Love the just everything about this final fest and I hope that maybe in a couple days we can go back there as a fourth option. I don't know it'd be kind of cool
I saw a *lot* of battles with Teams Present & Future. I did see Mirror Matches, but, it wasn't as bad as past Splatfests. I contributed over 700k clout to Tri-Color Battles, something I've *never* done before. I also reached Splatfest Ruler +9, also has never happened before. Also, this the first game I have been able to take part in Splatfests. I only missed the Global Testfire/ Launch Celebration Splatfest for this game. Also, I only found out TODAY the idols appeared on a stage at the Grand Splatlands Bowl. I was too focused on Battles to notice anything other than the screens they were on.
Come what may- whether we stand for the past, present, or future-, we will shine like the brightest stars on this stage for these final hours of the Grandfest!
I love this fest but the stage is kinda bad… it’s way too defender heavy, favoring weapons with falloff damage way too heavily due to the high ground, (don’t even get me started on dynamo camping) and puts attackers in a position where they have no way to get in unless they get lucky enough to actually grab the signal, at which point it snowballs. Tbh I cant blame them too much, because the issue as a whole just stems from tricolor itself, and really the mode just needs a rework.
I would like to add a disclaimer that a lot of people may have had different experiences, but as of about 12-13 hours after the map dropped people figured out how to camp with falloff damage perfectly, and with the little amount of ground in attackers spawn, weapons with high points for special can’t actually do anything.
And these fizzbangs count towards the special meter of the player who got the signal. This means that it's strategic for the player with the more powerful special to get the second signal, if possible.

I’ve pulled mine out of the dock when I was idle in the lobby. I can confirm that it is officially an oven.
