<p><strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/splatoon_2">Splatoon 2</a></strong> will host a special Super Mario-themed Splatfest in January to commemorate the mascot’s 35th anniversary. The event was announced (as if you didn’t know) as part of the <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/09/nintendo_announces_super_mario_remasters_and_much_more_in_super_mario_bros_35th_anniversary_direct">Super Mario 35th Anniversary Direct</a> which Nintendo dropped on the internet earlier today.</p>
<p>For those not in the know, Splatfests are weekend contests in Nintendo’s team-based third-person shooter where players pick a side and battle online to find out which of two ‘things’ are better: ketchup or mayo, fish or chips, chicken or egg – <em>that sort of thing</em>. At the end of the tournament, scores are tallied and results decided with a (slightly odd) best-out-of-three system. Good, harmless (and quite random) fun!</p>
<p>Nintendo stopped hosting regular Splatfests a while ago, although it has run a couple of one-off <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/05/team_ketchup_wins_splatoon_2s_bonus_one-off_splatfest">‘bonus’ competitions</a> in recent months. The Super Mario Splatfest scheduled for January will see Team Super Mushroom taking on the invincible might of Team Super Star:</p>

<p>In addition to the Splatfest itself, special key chains will be released as My Nintendo rewards, along with physical (and rather natty-looking) Splatfest t-shirts that will go up for sale ‘soon’ (or <a href="https://store.nintendo.com/character-shop/splatoon.html">now, in fact</a>) on the My Nintendo Store in your region.</p>
