Well, members of &#8220;J-Pop meets jazz&#8221; band <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/JMUSICEnsembleOfficial\/about\">J-MUSIC Ensemble<\/a> has some swimming results to share with us.<\/p>\n<p>Using Power Clams in Splatoon 3&#8217;s Recon Mode, you can recreate Mario&#8217;s karting games with just a bit of careful ink and planning In what the band is calling a &#8220;concept&#8221; for &#8216;Squid Kart&#8217; (what else would it be called?), there are two lines of different-coloured ink next to each other across the &#8216;Wahoo World&#8217; stage. And we&#8217;ve gotta say, those lines look pretty darn clean!<\/p>\n<p>One member of the band came up with the idea for Squid Kart while waiting for a match in the game&#8217;s lobby. All you&#8217;ve got to do is map a route around the stage and paint out the lines for each of the participants. You&#8217;ve got to take into consideration the stage hazards and the stage&#8217;s general layout, but you can get creative with how your inklings and octolings race around each map!<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thanks man! Most of these courses have been an improvised run through of how I see the track, but this one took a bit of thought in terms of applying the stage &#8220;hazards&#8221;\/moving pieces like the bridge and the spinner. I&#8217;d say around 20-25 min tops! Now I can build it in 5!<\/span>\u2014 J-MUSIC Ensemble (@jmusicband) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jmusicband\/status\/1577018471162183680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 3, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Splatoon 3 players have responded extremely positively to this idea, with calls for Nintendo to even add a mode like this in Splatoon 3. It certainly would change up the ink-splatting formula. But instead of throwing shells you&#8217;re inside a shell&#8230; sort of? What replaces blue shells here?
