Learn Splatoon 2 core gameplay systems, movement, controls, modes, and weapon roles. A foundation for new and returning players.

Splatoon 2 is a hybrid game that includes both competitive multiplayer modes and a linear single-player story (Hero Mode).

This guide begins with the foundation of how the game works as a whole, especially for new or returning players. It covers core gameplay systems, movement and controls, game modes and structure, and weapon roles and basic strategy. It also serves as the starting point for a full walkthrough, with the Hero Mode section planned to expand over time into a complete, stage-by-stage guide.

The goal of this guide is not to script every action, but to provide a reliable understanding of the game’s systems so you can make better decisions across all modes.

Note: This is a v0.1 release. Additional sections, including full walkthrough coverage and expanded strategy, will be added in future updates.
