In a sense, you become addicted to the very notion of having all of your problems solved for you, never wanting to endure problems ever again. Is it laziness, or just a bad way to cope with the issues that life throws at you? Who knows!

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

Be cautious though, because it's said that drinking too much of the water will make you want to stay at the ruins forever, never to leave for civilization ever again.

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

At the bottom of the hill from which the ruins rest upon, there's a fountain that once connected to the ruins. It's said to once be the fountain of wisdom. Take a sip from it, and the spring waters will give you a single answer to the issue that troubles your heart the most.

This place has a unique flower known as the shrimp flower, named that after the ruins. On a sizzling summer day, these flowers blossom and smell like buttered shrimp, oftentimes leaving the squiddos hungry after finishing their matches for the day.

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

These ruins are evidence of something once being here. Archeologists are still trying to figure out what it is, whether it being a god or not, that's up to you to decide.

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

This god could take many forms, and could easily transform between a humanoid form, or disguise themselves as a shrimp, which was their favorite disguise when they couldn't use their humanoid form.

100

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, when the first cephalopeople came to land and acquired their current humanoid forms, they praised a god that allowed them to do so.

100

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

The aura of a god resides here. Is it a shrimp god? Was it a god obsessed with shrimp frying rice? Can a shrimp fry rice? The statues seem to give an answer of their own. Either way, introducing Shrimp Saganaki Ruins!

CRC here, with the first playable map for the squiddos to check out! These old ruins is the first playable map of New Aqualona, and evokes an air of etherealness when seen in person. Pictures often don't do this place justice. #splatoon #splatoonart

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

The catch to this motormouth? You can damage it with ink, causing it to detonate faster. If it's detonated early, it'll splat the user, so use it wisely!

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

The Orca leaves giant trails of ink behind, letting you roll over your opponents in it's wake, and detonates after the engine overheats and causes it to explode.

100

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

This special is a souped up motorized tricycle that's banned from motor derbies for causing too much collateral damage to the stadiums when they crash. So, these guys were released to the public for squiddos to use in turf and more!

100

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

CRC Ballistics here with another special! Get ready to rev up those engines, cause here comes the Motor Derby Orca! Ready to run people over and piss off the local authorities at the same time? Great, this special is for you! #splatoon #splatoonart

There's a metro train that runs nearby the road that is seen here, and it is taken care of by the Kambaba Corporation, who had quite the business shakeup after the last CEO went missing. The current CEO, Trident Bay, takes care of all metro train lines that lead in and out of New Aqualona.

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

These days, the lighthouse is now automatically kept up via modern technology, which will notify the city officials immediately if a bulb pops out.

120

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

A long time ago, a single old man used to live there, but after he passed, his house was left on the giant cliff upholding the lighthouse, out of respect for his memory. A plaque has been left on the house as well.

120

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

The lighthouse has been there for over a few centuries now, and has saved ships over the decades from wrecking into the rocky coastline. If you live close enough to the beach, you can see the shining beacon of light that comes from the giant shell shaped lamp.

120

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

And those green/yellow/white dots aren't just dots. Those are bioluminescent barnacles that glow in the dark. It is also believed that they get their glowing ability from the meteorite as well.

120

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Because of this myth, there is a yearly holiday known as "Floral Day," where plant life and the Earth is celebrated. Tourists from all around the world flock to the city when this day comes. In fact, the town is a vacation hotspot during the warmer months of the year!

120

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

It's said that the meteorite is embedded into the cliff that's by the lighthouse, which is now covered by flowers. (Depicted on the far left, right behind the lighthouse.)

120

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

According to ancient mythology, a meteorite crashed into the shoreline's hill by the lighthouse one day, and over time, new plant life came from it. It is said to be the origin of New Aqualona's unique floral ecosystem.

120

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

This rocky beach is a interesting one, and it's the first designation you see when you travel to New Aqualona either by boat or by metro train. The rocky coastline is littered with unique glow in the dark flowers that illuminate brilliantly in the night, showing off the song of life in town.

120

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

CRC Geography team here! We’ve been asked to show you a special spot in town: New Aqualona Bay and Lighthouse! #splatoon #splatoonart

131

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Keep in mind that the defense on this thing is incredibly thin, but creates quite the powerful impact when used in a proper way!

010

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

This special doubles as a splashdown and a wavebreaker. You can bounce on this thing up to 3 times in a row. Each bounce that hits the ground creates a wave that can be jumped over like a wavebreaker, but this thing can splat you if you're underneath it when it goes down and hits the ground.

120

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

That’s not all from us here at ballistics! Introducing the Jawball Breaker special! Hop, hop, hop, and slam your way to victory by utilizing an old toy from your preschool days! Just try not to get a taste of this candy looking ball, otherwise you may crack a tooth! #splatoon #splatoonart

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Pictured with the contest winner here, this bad boy can fling long pillars at their ink that far outreach other rollers. The catch? It's struggles to inflict a lot of damage in a short time, so your best bet is to be a backliner, when combined with the jawball breaker special.

020

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

This weapon was designed after Scholarly Sand Dollar held a temporary contest to have a lucky participant to draw their dream weapon and the winner would have their drawing come to life. What came of it is the rainbow roller!

120

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

CRC ballistics back again! If you're ready to run over your opponents with a giant crayon that's powered by a water bottle ink tank and a juice box, this rainbow roller is ready to rumble! #splatoon #splatoonart

CRC team here! Our mainframe computer is down, so our tech team has been working around the clock to get us back online! With that being said, we’ll be posting from one of our intern’s phones for a while. Stay tuned for upcoming posts while we pray that our master computer is repaired quickly!

For anyone curious, here's a height chart of everyone together! They look a little different than what we've seen before...well, change is good! 😀 #splatoon #splatoonart

CRC Idol Department here - We've just been informed that while these famous idols aren't the main focus of New Aqualona, they'll possibly pop up as cameos every once in a while. They appear to be friends of Sodden Pulse! We have Deep Cut, The Squid Sisters, and even Off The Hook! #splatoonart

2124

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Okay, that should be just about everything. Enjoy your new look, and have fun in town~!❤️

010

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

It looks like that we're all done here- Oh! It appears you have a Sodden Pulse amiibo, how lucky of you! Well, each Sodden Pulse amiibo comes with their own special outfit. Trimmed with gold and giving retro a new life, these outfits are hand designed and approved by our idols.

110

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Alright, the last step in giving yourself a good look here in town. Do you want a little bit of freckles, some freckles, or a lot? There's three shapes to choose from: Circle, Star, and Heart. Don't want any? That's alright, you can skip 'em. After this, you're all ready to go!

110

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Alright, nice choice of hair! We would've chosen that one too. Now, in New Aqualona, people tend to get a little interesting with styling their eyebrows. Are you a diamond eyebrow person, or do you prefer to not wear any? No worries, we don't judge on whatever you pick. Overseas are included.

110

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

If you chose an inktoling, here's your hairstyles, overseas hairstyles included. In New Aqualona, unique hairstyles can be found left, right, and center, but there are some more common ones. Here are some notable examples that inktolings here in town tend to have, for when you do see an inktoling!

000

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

If you chose an octoling, here's your hairstyles, overseas hairstyles included. In New Aqualona, unique hairstyles can be found left, right, and center, but there are some more common ones. Here are some notable examples that octolings here in town tend to have!

Good choice! Now, in New Aqualona, there are more skin tones available and a plethora of eye color combinations for you to choose from for your character avatar. Don't see a skin tone you want? Lucky for you, there's a slider for that. (Not pictured.)

110

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

In New Aqualona, there is a variety of body shapes for the player to use or create, using body sliders (not pictured above) for them to customize the height and weight of their character. As well as body shapes, there are also three body types to choose from. Inkling, Octoling, and Inktoling.

110

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Alright, that's enough ballistics. We'll put you and the idol department in couples therapy again, hopefully that'll help. Now, let us introduce ourselves! We're the fashion department! Let's get to know each other a little more. Pick a type! We have inklings, octolings, and the rare inktoling.

110

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

But be forewarned; this special is slow in movement, so if you're a roadrunner with a lot of ink speed, this bad boy may not effect you as much as you think it might. However, if you're slow, then it may be best to brace for impact.

010

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

This isn't your grandpappy's spinning top! This special is a tornado and toy in one! It'll bounce off walls for a short amount of time, quickly heading towards you as you duck and dodge to get away from it.

110

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

What, you thought we were done? Not when we have those idol stans to outd- Sorry, we're getting distracted. Introducing, the first special that's unique here to New Aqualona: The Spinning Top Tornado! #splatoon #splatoonart

131

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

And for the brand? Scholarly Sand Dollar is a school supply themed brand that takes the initiative in mixing education with fun to splat their opponents while wearing nerd glasses at the same time. ✏️

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

It may look small and fast, but in order to keep in ordnance with legal New Aqualonian laws, this weapon had to be tweaked a bit to be a pain to use. Still, if you've got the patience, this weapon may be just for you.

100

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Much like the jet squelcher, this gun shoots at a long distance with quite the aim, the only thing slowing it down is it's firing rate and the running speed that you'll have when this weapon is held.

100

Project Splatoon 4: Floral Funk Edition! @projectfloralfunk.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

This weapon shoots far and has deadly aim. With an ink tank reminiscent of a purple glue stick combined with a glue gun, this clammy concoction is sure to send your enemies into a sticky situation!
