Splatoon 2 Stages

Pearl : I like to zoom up the side paths here with the dualies and splat it up!

Marina : The center area connects directly to the enemy spawn, so be careful!

Pearl : I always have to carry my team to victory on this stage.

Marina : I totally believe you!

Pearl : I think it's gonna come down to who uses the sponges best.

Marina : Uses the...sponges? But one of my best friends is a sea sponge!

Pearl : Marina! Hit us with the trick to using sponges effectively!

Marina : I like to build up a good lather and then scrub like crazy!

Pearl : So, port. That's just a fancy name for sausage, right?

Marina : Pearl, I think you're thinking of pork.

Pearl : I've always wanted to operate one of those giant cranes on the piers.

Marina : Follow your dreams, Pearl! Just make sure I'm not around!

Pearl : Ahhhhhhh! I just love the salty smell of the sea air!

Marina : And I love the salty smell of my enemies' tears!

Pearl : I like to zoom up the side paths here with the dualies and lay the splat down!

Marina : With a brella, you can drive straight up the center path with ease!

Pearl : Marina! What's the appeal of using a brella on this stage?

Marina : Protecting my precious Pearlie at all costs!

Pearl : Marina, you need to get better about staying on the tower in Tower Control.

Marina : Me?! You always Super Jump back to spawn at the first sight of trouble!

Pearl : The acoustics are great on this stage. HELLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Marina : Pearl, we're still in the studio! It's just a picture on the screen!

Pearl : What do you think is in all the shipping containers here?

Marina : I hope it's Off the Hook merch!

Marina : AAAAAHH! I just LOVE the low rumble of boat engines here. Especially at night!

Pearl : Yo, Marina, bring it down a notch.

Pearl : Hey, did you know I designed this stage back in the day?

Marina : Yup. Your parents own the place, right?

Pearl : Do you know who wrote the lyrics for the official Camp Triggerfish song?

Marina : Lemme guess. You?

Pearl : Whoever keeps tossing Splat Bombs over the walls here—KNOCK IT OFF!

Marina : Seriously. I always get splatted out of nowhere!

Pearl : We should make a music video here with the sky and grass in the background!

Marina : Let's keep that in mind if we ever release a folk album.

Pearl : My phone always malfunctions here and makes random calls. Magnetic fields?

Marina : Pretty sure you're just butt-dialing people when you dodge roll.

Pearl : This one time I rode an Inkrail, and then I was all like...fffshhh! Psscht! SHBLAO!

Marina : And then what happened?!

Pearl : Yo, Marina! I'ma tell my dad to build us a concert stage here!

Marina : Ooh! Can I operate the construction equipment?!

Pearl : Check it! This campground's got a zero-tolerance policy on littering!

Marina : This message brought to you by Off the Hook, defenders of nature!

Pearl : Man, there's something magical about a campground at night!

Marina : Fire glowing. Crickets chirping. Faces splatting.

Pearl : Yo, how rad was that show we played on the beach here?

Marina : Super rad! Until the wind blew you off the stage...

Pearl : Did you see that Crusty Sean opened a shop in the food court here?

Marina : PLEASE tell me he takes cash. I'm all out of tickets!

Pearl : Remember when we rode the roller coaster for six hours straight?

Marina : That was nothing compared to the eight hours we spent on the Death Drop!

Pearl : What's with the Death Drop ride? It doesn't drop fast enough!

Marina : Maybe it's busted?

Pearl : ARRRGH! I can NOT get the timing down for the bridge in the middle.

Marina : Pearl, the signs near the spawn point and the center show you the timing...

Pearl : The floor in the middle moves whenever my team is losing! HOW DOES IT KNOW?!

Marina : Ah, so that's why it never stops moving...

Marina : Hey, Pearl. Why do you always wear those thick-soled boots to this park?

Pearl : My dad gave them to me. They make me tall enough to ride the rides...

Pearl : Hey, kids! If you get lost in the park, go to the main office and ask for help!

Marina : Sounds like you speak from experience!

Marina : Hey, Pearl. What's your favorite Fresh Fish movie?

Pearl : Fresh Fish III: Revenge of the Fish. I always cry at the end.

Pearl : Yo, at night, the Ferris wheel's all... like...sparkly and junk.

Marina : You're so adorable, Pearl.

Pearl : We're doing the half-time show for the finals this year!

Marina : AAAAAH! I CAN'T WAIT! We should be rehearsing right now...

Pearl : Basketball would be cooler if you used clams instead of a basketball.

Marina : There's already a sport for that.

Pearl : What are the three most embarrassing words in the Inkling language?

Marina : Splatted by Sprinkler.

Pearl : Mistaking the hoop for the Clam Blitz basket would be a disaster!

Marina : I would have gone with calamity.

Pearl : Yo, Marina! Go stand under the hoop!

Marina : How many times are you gonna Super Jump to me just so you can dunk?

Pearl : You think jellyfish can dunk?

Marina : I mean, they can do that weird arm-stretch thing, so maybe...

Pearl : Yo, this stage is straight up SLOPPY!

Marina : Are you STILL trying to make sloppy happen? It's not gonna happen.

Marina : Pearl! I'm still equalizing my levels! Can you not rap right now?!

Pearl : Haha! Good one, Pearl. You're not annoying at all.

Pearl : At best, this Splatfest is mad fresh, a rad quest to add zest to math tests!

Marina : IT'S SO LOUD UP HERE! IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE RAPPING GIBBERISH!

Pearl : The pigeons here are really aggressive!

Marina : They always try to bite my hair...

Pearl : Look at me! I'm Marina! BLAH BLAH BLAH!

Marina : Ahaha! Yeah, that's so me!

Pearl : My best friend took me to this amazing cake shop in The Reef the other day!

Marina : But I don't remember going to a cake shop...

Pearl : Just rush down the middle and smash 'em. Piece of crab cake!

Marina : Nah, it's all about the side routes if you ask me!

Pearl : A new shop just opened up here, Marina! Let's go this weekend!

Marina : I would, but this new game comes out this weekend, and I'm DYING to play it.

Pearl : I bought WAY too much here yesterday. Used up my entire allowance...

Marina : You...still get an allowance?

Pearl : I LOOOOVE using dualies here. I just dodge-roll nonstop!

Marina : You should take a gymnastics class! Put your low center of gravity to use!

Pearl : I dropped my cellphone in the water here while I was dodge rolling...

Marina : Ah, so that's why you have a new phone today.

Pearl : In Turf War, the bridge AND the area under the bridge are part of the turf!

Marina : Remember that, class—it WILL appear on the test!

Pearl : ALL RIGHT. WHO'S BEEN DRAWING THOSE DOODLE THINGS ON THE WALLS HERE?!

Marina : Doodle things? It's called graffiti. Aren't you a rapper?

Pearl : I buy all my clothes at the shops here. They're crazy fresh, yo!

Marina : Huh, I didn't realize they carried XXS clothing.

Pearl : The Reef at night is so beautiful. And all the shops are closed!

Marina : LET'S INK THE TOWN RED!

Pearl : We should do a show here during the fireworks festival!

Marina : Wouldn't that make it hard to hear our music?

Pearl : I've been here before. A boy from school brought me when I was a kid...

Marina : REALLY?! Was it a date? A battle? Spill it, Pearlie!

Pearl : Gah! All the pillars here make it hard to land a shot.

Marina : That's when you whip out the Sting Ray!

Pearl : When I was a kid, this is where my dad taught me to ride a bike.

Marina : And yet you still use training wheels...

Pearl : Don't you love it when your entire team moves as one unit? Coordination, yo!

Marina : Coordination?! My team always runs in one-by-one and gets splatted!

Pearl : Yo, what do you think Crusty Sean's food is REALLY made of?

Marina : I don't wanna know...

Pearl : Something about this place makes me hungry for fried food.

Marina : Ooh! Let's grab some Crusty Seanwiches after the show!

Pearl : Just when are they going to finish construction work on this canal?

Marina : What are they even doing? It's like they're building obstacles for no reason.

Pearl : Ooh, an excavator. You like that kind of stuff, right, Marina?

Marina : What can I say? I have a thing for heavy machinery!

Pearl : Listen up, Marina, because this is SUPER important. Whatever you do, don't eat th

Marina : DON'T EAT WHAT?! Your text box ran out of space!

Pearl : I know the ducks here are adorable, but don't trust them. They're pure evil.

Marina : Uh... Thanks for the tip.

Pearl : OK, kids. Admire all you want, but keep your hands off the merchandise!

Marina : Yeah! This is an ink battle, not an all-you-can-grab shopping spree!

Pearl : Is this where your family's personal shoppers bought groceries from too?

Marina : ...What?

Pearl : Yes, they have my favorite brand of peanut butter, Swee-nut! It's so good!

Marina : Um... Have you read the nutrition facts on this? It's literally 99% sugar.

Pearl : Th-there's so many snacks to choose from! What do I choose?! I'M LOSING IT!

Marina : Pearl, get a hold of yourself! We're still live! People are watching this!

Pearl : What does MakoMart even mean, anyway?

Marina : Well, mako is a type of shark. And mart is, uh, the owner's name...maybe?

Pearl : They'll break yo heart at MakoMart, 'cause they so smart so play yo part!

Marina : Well, there goes that endorsement deal...

Pearl : OK, this stage is just begging for some Dualie action!

Marina : Everytime I see you on this stage you're dual wielding candy bars!

Marina : Look, Pearl! There's a sale on cordless jump ropes! I'm gonna buy 'em all!

Pearl : It seemed like a good idea at the time!

Pearl : Have you seen the GIANT tubs of ice cream they sell here?!

Marina : Good thing they also carry giant tubes of toothpaste!

Pearl : Hanging out in superstores after they close is kind of awesome.

Marina : I know! Let's go mess with the cameras and TVs in the electronics section!

Pearl : I bet you looooove all the weird machinery here, don't you, Marina?

Marina : Is it that obvious?!

Pearl : Yo, I'll splat a dude with attitude, I don't carrot all like rabbit food!

Marina : OHHHHHHHHHHHH! Best rapper alive.

Pearl : I usually don't like vegetables, but the ones they grow here are super tasty.

Marina : I think it's because the machinery here regulates the temperature and humidity!

Pearl : The air in this place smells kinda...spicy.

Marina : I know! Do you think they grow wasabi in there?

Pearl : So wait—they grow adult corn here, but they don't grow baby corn? That's wack.

Marina : Uh... Those come from the same plant.

Pearl : This place is haunted. Sometimes I get cooked from above out of nowhere!

Marina : Pretty sure those are Slosher players splatting you over the walls.

Pearl : Man, it's always so hot and muggy in here. They should get air-conditioning.

Marina : I think they keep it hot for a reason...

Pearl : Peaaarl! Do you think they grow wasabi in there?

Marina : Haha! Your impressions are hilarious.

Pearl : Did you know that I have a huge veggie garden in front of my house?

Marina : Grass may technically be a vegetable, but your lawn is NOT a veggie garden.

Pearl : Marina, what's your favorite veggie?

Marina : Beets, of course!

Pearl : Grrrr... I can't hit anyone with my charger here!

Marina : Right. Here.

Pearl : This place feels like a jungle at night!

Marina : RAWR!

Pearl : This place has a nice vibe, ya know?

Marina : Legend has it that splatting someone between the statues brings good luck.

Pearl : Forget inking turf. It's all about getting as many splats as possible!

Marina : You're the type of teammate who doesn't booyah back, huh?

Pearl : I heard the jellies have to fix up the gardens here after every battle.

Marina : Always remember to say thank you to our jellyfish friends!

Pearl : What's up with this place always being under construction?

Marina : And why aren't they using any heavy machinery?

Pearl : When in doubt, just Super Jump blindly to the front lines. You'll be fine!

Marina : Typical dualie player...

Marina : What are the hot strats for this stage, Pearl?

Pearl : The vending machines here don't sell Tentacola, so bring your own!

Pearl : Have you seen the wooden weapon sculptures on this stage?

Marina : Yeah. I wonder who carved them?

Pearl : They've got foot baths here! The jellies look like they're loving it!

Marina : There's nothing like a post-battle foot bath.

Pearl : We ink above, they ink below. We ink below, THEY INK ABOVE!

Marina : Not sure if you're writing a hook or if you're mad that your team got cooked...

Pearl : What do you call it when you launch a Booyah Bomb at the end of a battle?

Marina : After-School Special!

Pearl : The lanterns on this stage really give it a festive vibe.

Marina : Now THIS is what I call a Splatfest!

Pearl : The drawbridge here is the perfect spot to camp with a charger.

Marina : Never change, Pearl...

Pearl : I dare you to jump off of the pier, Marina!

Marina : Nah, I don't give in to pier pressure.

Pearl : They call this a shipyard, but where the heck are the ships?

Marina : Pearl, this entire stage is a ship that's being built!

Pearl : What do you call it when you shoot off Tenta Missiles at the end of a match?

Marina : DISMISSIVE DISS MISSILE!

Pearl : Good thing I never get seasick playing on this stage!

Marina : Urp...

Pearl : Marina, I bet you think this stage is amazing, huh?

Marina : YEAH! It's one of my favorites!

Pearl : Yo, that track you made the other day. Did you sample the boat motors here?!

Marina : You noticed!

Pearl : Marina, I'm a cake girl at heart... but I also like octo pie.

Marina : Aww, Pearl. I'm not sure whether to be touched or terrified.

Pearl : Have you seen those cargo ships across the bay from here?

Marina : The shape of that crane... I think that's Port Mackerel!

Pearl : Marina, you get this dopey smile every time we introduce this stage.

Marina : I just love this place! All the heavy machinery reminds me of my childhood.

Pearl : The night skyline here makes me want to sing! WOOOOOOOOOOO!

Marina : Pearl! Save it for our next concert!

Pearl : Yo, they put a pool on the roof of this place?!

Marina : Uh, yeah! It's only the hottest spot in Inkopolis Square right now!

Pearl : Remember that time you tried to drown me here? Good times.

Marina : For the last time, I was trying to help you get to the floating stage!

Pearl : Yo, Marina! Hit 'em with a hot tip for this stage!

Marina : Use an expanded brella for extra safety when moving across the central area!

Pearl : I get splatted by chargers every time I cross the middle! Even if I dodge-roll!

Marina : Well, maybe stop yelling out BOOYAH! between each roll? That might help...

Pearl : I heard the sand here was brought from the beach near Starfish Mainstage.

Marina : Talk about sourcing locally!

Pearl : ♪Al-Al-Albacore, the hotel you've been waiting for!♪

Marina : NOOOOOO! Now that's going to be stuck in my head all week!

Pearl : The New Albacore Hotel! We're alba to the core!

Marina : Pearl, they've already got an official slogan...and that's DEFINITELY not it.

Pearl : Yo, did you see those jellyfish riding around the pool in that Baller earlier?

Marina : Are you sure that was a Baller?! I thought it was a regular beach ball!

Pearl : The pool's all glittery at night! Let's take a pic, Marina!

Marina : Oh, you KNOW I brought my selfie stick for just such an occasion!

Pearl : Yo, this building looks brand new!

Marina : It is! Gotta have a fresh new building to attract that primo game-dev talent.

Pearl : I could shoot the propellers here all day! WEEEEEEEEEEE!

Marina : You might wanna think about shooting the other team every now and then...

Pearl : If I ever grow up and get a real job, I wanna work here.

Marina : Seriously! They've got propeller lifts instead of elevators!

Pearl : I swear I battled in this place back in the day...

Marina : You're probably thinking of their old headquarters. It's pretty similar.

Pearl : The employees here get free Tentacola! ALL YOU CAN DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIINK!

Marina : I heard they also get free Crust Bucket lunches every Wednesday!

Pearl : So they built a new HQ...that looks the same as the old one?

Marina : They know what they like, and they like what they know.

Pearl : Aight, REENA. What should players look out for on this stage?

Marina : The ink getting flung around by the propellers! Also, don't call me that.

Pearl : Did you hear? Ancho-V just delayed their new game until next year...

Marina : Wasn't it supposed to come out, like, four years ago?

Pearl : I heard they have a room here full of baby turtles to cheer up the employees.

Marina : D'awwwwww. Gotta make up for that work-life balance somehow.

Pearl : Yo, seeing the starry sky through the skylights here gets me PUMPED!

Marina : That's nice, but I'd rather be in the server room. All those blinking lights!

Pearl : This ship... It's the same one I got for my sixth birthday!

Marina : I knew you grew up rich, but geez!

Pearl : Let's sail across the seas and make our debut in the new world!

Marina : OK, but only if you learn how to at least say hi in another language first.

Pearl : Let's throw a concert on this ship!

Marina : Don't you remember last time?! That ship is still on the ocean floor!

Pearl : Ooh! I just got an idea for a new song. Drop the beat, Mar!

Marina : Watch out, Inkopolis! Pearl's about to spit!

Pearl : I think they should rename Inkopolis to Cephalopolis.

Marina : Cephalopolis? I like it. Let's start a campaign!

Pearl : I bet every time this ship leaves port, there are some sad goodbyes...

Marina : I'm PREEEETTY sure this ship has been decommissioned.

Pearl : The ocean is breathtaking, yo... I wonder if there are any little fishies around.

Marina : Fishies? Aww! Pearl, you're so cute...

Pearl : I bet I'd make a good ship captain! HARD TO STARBOARD!

Marina : Abandon ship!

Pearl : Do you think she's seaworthy?

Marina : She? Who are we talking about?

Pearl : I love the reflection of the city lights on the twinkling evening waves.

Marina : You can be really poetic when you want to, Pearl.

Pearl : Yo, what the heck is that huge machine they've got here?

Marina : IT'S A BUCKET WHEEL EXCAVATOR! *swoon*

Pearl : The rocks here gave me an idea for a sick verse. Drop the beat, Marina!

Marina : You thought up rhymes by looking at rocks? That's some next-level stuff.

Pearl : I accidentally stepped on one of the conveyor belts here. It wasn't pretty.

Marina : They're not all bad. You can use them to your advantage!

Pearl : Don't try to run against the conveyor belts here. It'll get you nowhere fast.

Marina : Especially with your stubby little legs, Pearl!

Pearl : Yo, 'Rina! You should totally sample some of the sounds here.

Marina : Hmm. What if I recorded the sound of grinding gravel...and then distorted it?!

Pearl : How do you make an octopus laugh? Eight tickles!

Marina : #FIREPEARL

Pearl : Did I ever tell you about the time I met the dude who runs this place?

Marina : YOU MET THE LORD OF THE LAKE?!

Pearl : Last time we were here, you spent the whole time taking pics with your phone.

Marina : But I still didn't get a selfie with you in front of the excavator! Pleeeeease!

Pearl : PUMP IT UUUUUUUP! Let's fill the whole pit with ink!

Marina : I'm gonna take one of the bulldozers for a joyride!

Pearl : I always get cooked by hidden Suction Bombs on this stage!

Marina : That's how they get ya. The ol' Suction-Bomb-in-hiding trick.

Pearl : The big tower in the middle here would make a pretty good stage for a show...

Marina : But what if someone gets ink on my turntables?!

Pearl : You should feel at home here, Marina. You're used to skating by on your looks.

Marina : Ouch... OK, that was pretty good.

Pearl : I hope y'all are ready for my Sting Ray! SHA-BLAO!

Marina : Not in the studio, Pearl! Save it for the battleground!

Pearl : Hey, kids—don't spend all your time in front of the TV! Go play outside!

Marina : But how can they play video games if they're not in front of a TV?!

Pearl : This stage is pretty narrow, so you'll run into opponents often. Get ready!

Marina : You might want to pick a weapon that's good for head-on combat!

Pearl : I can't get enough of this map.

Marina : It's a stage, not a map! Are you trying to get us fired?!

Pearl : I just LOVE having 10 limbs in squid form. I couldn't live without a single one!

Marina : ...

Pearl : This trademark skatepark was way dark, till a gray shark made a flame spark!

Marina : Oh no! Pearl's chronic rhymitis is flaring up again!

Pearl : *yawn* I'm weirdly sleepy today. What stage is this again?

Marina : Wake up, Pearl!

Marina : Y'all couldn't touch the Pearl if you trained for 100 million light-years!

Pearl : Light-years are a unit of distance...

Pearl : Stargazing from the central platform here is the best!

Marina : Yeah it is! Just make sure to cook the enemy team before enjoying the view!

Pearl : The acoustics in this place are amazing! My voice carries like crazy! AYO! AYO!

Marina : Just...try not to break any of the ancient fossils with your voice.

Pearl : I heard they have human bones here!

Marina : I wish humans were real.

Pearl : How cool would it be to have all these fossils dancing in our next video?

Marina : That would be amazing!

Pearl : Man, these monster bones blow me away no matter how many times I see them.

Marina : Um, these are dinosaurs, not monsters.

Pearl : OK, Marina. Tell the fine people at home all about the Temnodontasaurus!

Marina : Wait. What?!

Pearl : Expect sun all day today with heavy clouds...and some rain. Maybe snow too.

Marina : Very helpful, Pearl.

Pearl : The glass floor here is crazy! It's like I'm walking on air!

Marina : It's kind of freaky being able to see everyone walking below you...

Pearl : We need to start writing a theme song for this museum!

Marina : Good call! Kids love songs about fossils!

Pearl : I went digging in my backyard earlier today, and I found some old bones!

Marina : Human bones, huh? Yeah, those things are everywhere.

Pearl : I've never been to a museum at night before! The atmosphere's incredible!

Marina : It's normally not open at night, but they made an exception for the Splatfest!

Pearl : This is one of my favorite stages! So much verticality!

Marina : That's not an excuse to just camp at the top, Pearlie!

Pearl : Wanna know the key to winning here? Make sure Marina is on the other team.

Marina : Har har.

Pearl : For a parking garage, there aren't a lot of cars driving around.

Marina : Well, yeah. It's a PARKING garage, not a driving garage.

Marina : She dives down from above... BOOM! It's a SPLATASTROPHE! Pearl wins!

Pearl : If only your work ethic was as strong as your imagination...

Pearl : Use the Inkrails to push your way into the opponent's base!

Marina : And be sure to cook any scrubs that come up after you!

Pearl : I saw the Crust Bucket drive by here the other day...

Marina : I wonder if Crusty Sean does catering? His food is the licious.

Pearl : Hey, how do you think Li'l Judd is related to Judd? Are they brothers?

Marina : My head-canon is that Li'l Judd is a time-traveling Judd from the past.

Pearl : Hey! How come I always have to talk first when we announce the stages?

Marina : To set up the punch line, of course! How else am I supposed to poke fun at you?

Pearl : The Squid Sisters shot a music video here a long time ago, didn't they?

Marina : I've seen that one like 300 times!

Pearl : Wanna know the key to winning here? It's all about the Inkrails!

Marina : True that!

Pearl : Man, I hate when the enemy team sticks a Sprinkler high up on a wall...

Marina : Maybe you should try using a charger to compensate for your...stature.

Pearl : There's something magical about Moray Towers at night.

Marina : You know what else is magical? Ketchup ice cream!

Pearl : I love climbing the walls here and looking down on the battlefield from on high!

Marina : You enjoy looking down on people? You don't say.

Pearl : Marina! Guess how many handholds there are on the walls of this stage!

Marina : Is that why we always lose here? 'Cause you're busy counting handholds?

Pearl : The jellies here can climb the rock walls faster than I can. What's with that?

Marina : Well, those jellyfish DO probably have a couple of inches on you...

Pearl : A membership to this place costs an arm and a leg.

Marina : Yeah, but at least the arm and leg will be jacked.

Pearl : Rock-climbing jellyfish are TOO cute! I just wanna splat their little faces off!

Marina : Whoooa, Pearl. I'm confiscating your Splattershot until you chill out.

Pearl : If the Inkjet flew just a bit higher, do you think I could grab on to the ceiling?

Marina : Pearl, for the last time, it doesn't count unless you climb by yourself.

Pearl : After an intense battle, enjoy a nice, refreshing Tentacola!

Marina : How much are they paying you? And why did I not get a cut?

Pearl : It takes me an hour to walk here from my house!

Marina : Why walk when you can Super Jump? It burns a lot of calories too!

Pearl : I think I forgot my Inkbrush at home today!

Marina : No worries. You can borrow my Octobrush!

Pearl : Me and this stage go together like peanut butter and jellyfish.

Marina : Pretty sure those things don't go together.

Pearl : What's your favorite month, Marina?

Marina : This is another one of your octopus jokes, isn't it?

Pearl : Have you seen Judd try to climb the rock wall here? HILARIOUS.

Marina : No, but I've seen Li'l Judd try. He's so adorable!

Pearl : The shops here sell different stuff than the ones in The Reef. I love it!

Marina : I know! It's so cool you found a place that carries XXXS-size shirts!

Pearl : I always make sure to equip my Run Speed Up gear when I go shopping here.

Marina : I know, right?! It makes shopping a breeze!

Pearl : The freshest kids know its all about the 1v1 battles in the side streets here!

Marina : Really? But don't you always head straight up the middle?

Pearl : This place is SOOOO much better since they remodeled it.

Marina : Really? I think I preferred how it was before.

Pearl : Yo, Marina! Make sure to throw a Squid Beakon on the enemy spawn for me!

Marina : Sure thing, Pearl...

Pearl : I'll Super Jump straight into your heart! Nothing could ever keep us apart!

Marina : I've gotta make a beat for those lyrics! We'll call it Blazing Love Meteor!

Pearl : Expect clear, sunny skies all day today!

Marina : Wait, are you turning into our weather girl?

Pearl : Hey, chumps! How about you put that Charger down and use a real weapon!

Marina : The views and opinions expressed here do not reflect those of our employer.

Pearl : We're gonna pump up these Splatfest battles from above in our blimp! Yeah!

Marina : Let's rain down a shower of fresh beats from the skies!

Pearl : Remember when we performed at this school's music festival?

Marina : How could I forget? You started a mosh pit and broke a bunch of sculptures...

Pearl : This place brings back bad memories of my school days...

Marina : If your grades were the same as your multiplayer rank, I can see why...

Pearl : I saw Judd around here the other day. What was he doing?

Marina : He was posing for an online drawing class. Not sure I want to see the result.

Pearl : Have you ever accidentally splatted yourself while rolling with the dualies?

Marina : Can't say that I have...

Pearl : I wish Crusty Sean ran the cafeteria here...

Marina : YES! Crusty Sean makes the best deep-fried waffle monstrosity!

Pearl : The key to winning here is using the center of the stage effectively.

Marina : Why is it always the center with you? The side routes are way more important.

Pearl : We're about to turn this campus into a canvas!

Marina : Does art imitate life? Or does life imitate art? AM I EVEN REAL?!

Pearl : I heard the designer that made our outfits graduated from here.

Marina : I wonder if she wrote her thesis on ridiculously large zippers.

Pearl : This is a school, right? Aren't there classes going on?

Marina : Ink battles ARE the classes! It's performance art!

Pearl : All right. Who left their Crust Bucket wrapper here?

Marina : Don't touch that, Pearlie! It's not litter—it's modern art!

Pearl : Remember that time we both used Splashdown at the same time?

Marina : Great minds ink alike!

Pearl : This university sponsors some of our shows, so we can't really bad-mouth it.

Marina : Our shows sell out almost as quickly as we do...

Pearl : Marina, tell the good people about Inkblot Art Academy.

Marina : Well, Inkblot is uh...um... It's a place that exists.

Pearl : I heard that the salad in the cafeteria here is all-you-can-eat!

Marina : Ooh, I wonder if potato chips count. They're technically veggies, after all!

Pearl : Marina! Marina! The statues' eyes glow at night! I SWEAR I SAW THEM GLOW!

Marina : Preeeeeetty sure those are just Judd's and Li'l Judd's eyes...

Pearl : Standing on the stage brings back so many good memories.

Marina : I'll never forget the first time we performed here!

Pearl : Big shout-out to the staff at the Starfish. Y'all are the best!

Marina : Pearl! Stop giving shout-outs and read the news!

Pearl : Whenever I battle here, I get cooked right away by some random chump.

Marina : That's because your strategy is to rush to the stage and look fresh...

Pearl : Ugh... When are we going to land another big music-festival gig?

Marina : Maybe when you stop demanding more money!

Pearl : Marina, what's your best tip for this place?

Marina : Um... Uh... Don't buy tickets from scalpers!

Pearl : My strategy here is—rush to the stage and look freshhhhhh.

Marina : I need to find new teammates...

Pearl : Marina! You're a hardware geek. What do you think of the stage gear here?

Marina : I'm not a geek! I'm an enthusiast! EN-THU-SI-AST!

Pearl : They have two custom Squidshredders with pearl pickups on the stage here!

Marina : And the bass guitar is a custom Octoslapper QX-2! *drool*

Pearl : Don't forget to hydrate between battles!

Marina : That seems like good advice...until you remember that water is lethal to us.

Pearl : This stage is really close to the ocean. You should go for a swim, Marina.

Marina : I'm not falling for that again...

Pearl : This place is super tropical. I feel like I'm on vacation whenever I battle here.

Marina : And it's just a short train ride from Inkopolis Square!

Pearl : When's the last time we did a show here?

Marina : We really need a new agent...

Pearl : Night concerts at Starfish Mainstage are the best!

Marina : Plus I get to spin Splatfest jams!

Pearl : 'Member that one time you got splatted by a bomb through a wall here, Marina?

Marina : Me?! I'm pretty sure YOU'RE the one who got splatted!

Pearl : For all the cardboard boxes here, there's a weird lack of people working...

Marina : Didn't you hear? Robots took their jobs! Welcome to the future!

Pearl : Yo, Marina! Wouldn't this be a pretty hype spot for our next music video?

Marina : Ooh, I like it! It's got that low-key industrial vibe that's super in right now!

Pearl : Man, dropping Splash Walls in the narrow passages here can be pretty brutal.

Marina : True, and you can use a Brella in those passages to really rain on their parade.

Pearl : OK, can I ask the people with chargers here to stop sniping me from up high?

Marina : I mean, you can, but they probably won't listen.

Pearl : Marina likes the machines that sort all the cargo here.

Marina : Don't put words in my mouth! I don't like them. I LOOOOVE THEM!♥

Pearl : Yo, Marina! Do you think our fans would show up if we performed here?

Marina : Maybe, but the platform in the middle is way too small for my gear.

Pearl : My reception is terrible here. I can't even call a ride after battling!

Marina : You should ask Bisk if you can borrow his shellphone. It gets great reception.

Pearl : Whoa! At night this warehouse looks like a secret venue for live shows. Let's go!

Marina : Pearl, wait! Don't forget your mic!

Pearl : Man, I wanna ride around here on a motorcycle!

Marina : First you'll need to learn how to ride a bike without training wheels.

Pearl : Swimming around this place makes me kind of dizzy.

Marina : Well, if you're gonna ralph, just try to aim it at the enemy team.

Pearl : I like to dualie dodge-roll off ledges and splat fools in midair, then win the game!

Marina : I also like to make believe!

Pearl : Here's some advice—don't rent the bikes here. They're falling apart.

Marina : That just makes for a more exciting ride!

Pearl : I just LOVE Humptrack Pump Back... Er... Thumbtack Bump Pack... ARRRGH!

Marina : You'll get it one day, Pearl.

Pearl : Marina! You bought a new motorcycle recently, yeah? You gotta let me ride it!

Marina : I don't think your feet would reach the pegs...

Pearl : Remember when I pulled off that sick trick with the dualies the other day?

Marina : Yeah. And it only took you 4,000 attempts!

Pearl : I like to assault the central hill with the dualies, dodge-rolling this way and that!

Marina : That's cool and all, but I'd rather roll up with the brella like—BLAMMO!

Pearl : Marina, don't tell anyone, but I got a new pair of training wheels for my bike!

Marina : You know we're still live, right?

Pearl : I was hoping they'd let me drive my go-cart on the track, but they said no!

Marina : You have a go-cart?!

Pearl : What's up with the jellyfish that run this place? They never take a day off!

Marina : It's a jellyfish thing. Jelfonzo and the staff at The Shoal are the same way.

Pearl : Yo, I'm Marina, and I'm here to say, I lose at Turf War every time I play!

Marina : Cool song...

Pearl : The acoustics here are the bomb! My voice sounds amazing!

Marina : Yeah, the reverb makes it easier to ignore how off-key we are!
