This game has unused items. This game has regional differences. This game has revisional differences. This game has a prototype article This game has a prerelease article

This game is still under active development. Be aware that any unused content you find may become used or removed in the future. Please only add things to the article that are unlikely to ever be used, or went unused for some time. If they do get used, please remove them from the page and specify in the edit summary!

To do: There are "night" copies of the Splatfest tracks, despite Splatfests already taking place at night. Investigate these. Also, part of the Skull Bandana texture goes unseen, document this.

A significant amount of early Splatoon content also ended up being left unused in Super Mario Maker.

Regional Differences

Back of the amiibo Box

Normally due to the way the camera works, it is impossible to see the back of the amiibo box. However, due to an Inkling NPC who spawns in a specific spot, you can get out of bounds and then walk around behind the box. The back of the box itself is fully detailed and even uses the Inkling language!

Oh, hey. It's-a him.

Unused Map Entries

Information about each map is contained within the archive Mush.szs. Many entries point to files that don't exist.

Unused Gear

To do: The brands and main abilities should still be there, possibly translated names too... Figure out which gear is used and which have early icons due to 2.0.0.

With a game that includes fashion elements, it is to be expected for some of the gear to be left out of the game. Currently, 4 pieces of gear go completely unused and 6 others are minor cosmetic alterations of used pieces of gear. It is possible that some of these pieces of gear will be unlocked in future updates. Most unreleased pieces of gear shown here have Bomb Range Up as an ability and 0 stars, both likely placeholders.

Clothing

Varsity Jacket

Oddly, this shirt was once displayed in the window of Jelly Fresh as shown in an early screenshot, but in the final game, the Camo Zip Hoodie is shown instead.

Shirtstravaganza

Seen being worn in a few early battle videos and several adverts, and even seen in the eighteenth Sunken Scroll. It may have been replaced by the Baby-Jelly Shirt in the final game, but it is still a mystery.

Round-Collar Shirt

Early icon for Round Collar Shirt. The shirt is now lilac.

Gray-Reel Sweat

Early version of the Reel Sweat. The shirt is now red.

Purple Camo LS

Early icon for Purple Camo LS. the arm band is now orange.

White Puffer Tee

Layered Anchor LS

Early icon of the Layered Anchor LS. The shirt was changed to a maroon color.

Headgear

Warrior Headdress

Shows up in background of Cooler Heads, covered by the shop text. Has Tenacity as an ability. May not be released due to connection to Native American culture.

Stealth Goggles

An early icon for the Stealth Goggles. The night vision goggles received a green glow from the lenses in the final version.

Elite Octoling Goggles

To do: Rip the icon (If it even has one)

The goggles Elite Octolings wear. Possibly meant to be obtained from Judd like the other special gear.

Shoes

Armor Boot Replicas

Before the 2.0.0 update, these were untitled and had two duplicate files. The 2.0.0 update made them an actual obtainable item, but uses a slightly different icon.

Custom Trail Boots

While Custom Trail Boots were introduced in the 2.0.0 update, they are colored pink instead of blue.

(Gear icons and names: NWPlayer123)

	"Team Ninjaaaaaaa! Ninja stars in your face!”
“Shiver me timbers!”	“A ninja's path...is stained in the ink of her enemies.”
“Yeah. Real deep, Marie.”

Codename

Splatoon is named Gambit internally.

Placeholder Gear Images

  Brand

If there is no brand or icon for a piece of gear, the game will display these instead.

Playable Octolings

To do: Rip the eye textures.

Octolings have two separate models, one for the enemy that appears in single player, and an unused one that functions as an alternate player model for the inklings.

• Hacking the goggles off the enemy model shows they have inkling eyes as placeholders, while the player models use unique ones not found anywhere else.
  • Sometimes, the player model can fail to load and use either garbage textures or Inkling eyes.
  • Official artwork of an Octoling without goggles was published on both the Japanese Twitter and American Tumblr Squid Research Center promo media.
• The player model has ink color changing hair.
• The player model received changes in the updates, most notably adding a mouth for use in losing animations.

This version was released on June 3, 2015, and fixes a bug, where you could gain all your money back after adding a slot to your gear or rerolling the abilities from Spyke and then talking to Judd after having any level of Vibe. Also, the main plaza had its framerate upped to be a consistent 30 FPS.

Version 1.3.0

This version was released on June 30, 2015.

• Random people may get access to the Splatfest 5 minutes before the actual Splatfest starts to avoid high traffic
• The amount of Super Sea Snails won depending by rank was adjusted
