Invincibility or super-size? Updated on 14 January 2021
It s been 18 months since Splatoon 2 s post-launch content support came to an end with what was supposed to be one final celebratory Splatfest, but still Nintendo keeps finding excuses to resurrect the much-loved communal challenges for one more turn - and the latest example occurs this weekend, when Pearl and Marina preside over a special Mario-themed jamboree.
This latest global Splatfest was originally announced last year as part of Nintendo s Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary celebrations, and this time players will be ask to choose their favourite Mario power-up, with teams being formed based on their preference for size-boosting Super Mushrooms or invincibility granting Super Stars.
