Splatoon 2’s Splatfest Super Star Vs Super Mushroom Starts At 22.00 GMT

This weekend, Nintendo is bringing the Splatfest back one more time in celebration of Mario’s 35th anniversary celebrations. This time, you’ll get to pick between Pearl and her Super Mushroom or Marina’s Super Star. The festivities start at 22.00 and will last for 48 hours.

What’s different about this ‘fest is that the top 100 players (EU accounts) from both teams, will receive a commemorative Splatoon 2/ Super Mario 35 anniversary coin.

Let’s face it, Pearl is the best so it’s good Nintendo are offering pity prizes to Marina, although I am suddenly regretting not practicing for this weekend’s festivities.

Nintendo officially brought Splatfests in Splatoon 2 to a close in 2019 after Chaos won the Splatpocalypse over team Order, however since everything went all 2020 last year, they’ve been bringing festivities back to Inkopolis sporadically.

Could this be the last Splatfest for Splatoon 2, or will Nintendo’s attention turn to Splatoon 3? Who knows, but both Zelda and Pokémon having anniversaries shortly so we wouldn’t count out one last gig from Off The Hook, just yet.
