Splatoon is a franchise of family friendly shooting games from Nintendo.

Gameplay primarily consists of shooting ink, which doubles both as an offensive weapon and as a defensive tool, allowing enhanced mobility, cover, and speed on claimed terrain, while hindering opposing forces on the same.

As of 2024 it consists of three games, plus some DLC.

• Splatoon: Released in 2015 for the Wii U.
• Splatoon 2: Released in 2017 for the Nintendo Switch.
• Splatoon 3: Released in 2022 for the Nintendo Switch.

Tropes used in Splatoon include:

• Abnormal Ammo: Ink is used instead as ammunition.
• After the End: Most mammalian life is eradicated by the time of the games.
• Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods: Inklings and Octolings play a major role in the story, though other cephalopods make an appearance as well.
• Family-Friendly Firearms: Ink is shot rather then traditional ammo.
• Non-Mammalian Hair: Played with. Most characters have what appears to be hair at first glance, but is really just their tentacles, which due to their location and style resemble hair.
• Speaking Simlish: Character speed in a strange language.
