{{For|other types of Splattershots|Splattershot (disambiguation)}}
The '''Splattershot''' is a [[main weapon]] in the [[Splatoon (series)|''Splatoon'' series]], created by the weapon brand [[Weapon brand#Splat|Splat]]. It is an iconic [[weapon]], commonly seen in promotional material and as part of multiple [[amiibo]].
==Appearance==
The Splattershot resembles a toy water gun.
In ''[[Splatoon]]'', the grip and stock are both yellow-green, while the muzzle and forestock being a dark green. The muzzle is surrounded by a red-orange ring, and is shaped like a cone. On the top of the weapon is an ink tank in the shape of a capsule that changes color depending on the player's ink. The tank is connected to the stock by a yellow-green ring that goes down the middle of the tank, as well as by a red-orange tube at the back of the weapon.
In ''[[Splatoon 2]]'', the Splattershot received a new design that vastly differs from its ''Splatoon'' counterpart. The grip and stock are both purple, while the forestock and muzzle are a dark green. The muzzle is shaped like a cone, as well. On top of the weapon is an ink tank in the shape of a capsule that changes color depending on the player's ink. On the upper part of the end of the ink tank is a pink cap. The ink tank is connected to the stock by a pink, diagonal facing ring that goes down the middle and back of the tank. On the bottom of the grip is what appears to be a magazine, colored dark green.
In ''[[Splatoon 3]]'', the Splattershot again has an updated design. The grip and stock are both purple, while the muzzle and forestock are both yellow. The muzzle is shaped like a cone, as well. On top of the weapon is an ink tank in the shape of a capsule that changes color depending on the player's ink. The tank is connected to the stock by a wavy yellow piece holder that juts out at the end of the tank. Also at the end of the tank is a blue, cone-shaped cap reminiscent of the caps used to refill a water gun. At the bottom of the handle is what appears to be a yellow magazine.

The weapon reappears in ''[[Splatoon 2]]'' and has a new design. There is a cap where the tube connecting the barrel to the gun used to be, reminiscent of the caps used to refill a water gun full of water in real life. It had the [[Tenta Missiles]] as its [[special weapon]] in the ''[[Splatoon 2 Global Testfire]]'' demo, but in the final game it has the [[Splashdown]].

==''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''==
The Splattershot appears as [[Inkling (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|Inkling]]'s neutral special and in a few normals in {{SSBU}}, alongside a variety of other [[weapon]]s that they use in their attacks.
For their neutral special, they shoot projectiles with the Splattershot at the opponent to deal damage. This also coats opponents in [[ink]] but does not ink the ground. The projectiles will decrease in range as the Inkling runs low on ink, and the Splattershot will not fire if the Inkling is out of ink. Similarly, for their rapid jab, the Inkling shoots the Splattershot, creating spurts at the muzzle which damages and inks opponents. This move also stops functioning when out of ink. For their forward throw, the Inkling fires a single shot directly into the opponent, covering them slightly and using a small amount of ink. In their other normals, they physically swing and hit opponents with the Splattershot itself. These moves do not cost ink.
==Trivia==
* The [[Hero Shot]], a modified version of the Splattershot, is the default weapon in [[Octo Valley (mode)|Octo Valley]] and the Inkling Squid [[amiibo]] challenges, one of the nine hero weapons in [[Octo Canyon (mode)|Octo Canyon]], and a selectable weapon in [[Return of the Mammalians]]. However, it cannot be used anywhere else.
* The Splattershot was the first playable [[main weapon]], available in the [[E3 2014 Splatoon demo|E3 2014 ''Splatoon'' demo]]. At that time it was called the "Ink Shot".<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxcLLFbmJHE {{YT}} Footage of the E3 2014 demo]</ref>
** Furthermore, its sub weapon was the [[Splat Bomb]] and its special weapon was the [[Inkzooka]]. No weapon in the Splattershot series has this combination, with the [[Tentatek Splattershot]] and [[Wasabi Splattershot]] using the beta special and sub weapons respectively. This combination later appeared on the [[Octobrush Nouveau]], [[Soda Slosher]], and [[Sploosh-o-matic 7]]. In addition, the Splat Bomb with a similar special appeared on the [[Tentatek Splattershot]] in {{S2}}.
** It was also the first main weapon to be revealed to the public in the history of the [[Splatoon (series)|''Splatoon'']] series.
* In ''[[Splatoon]]'' and ''[[Splatoon 2]]'', the Splattershot has the most variants out of all [[main weapon]]s, with a total of five in both games.
* In ''Splatoon 2'', the Splattershot's model from the first game can still be seen when using the original Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy [[amiibo]].
* In the [[Splatoon 2 Switch event demo|''Splatoon 2'' Switch event demo]] and ''[[Splatoon 2 Global Testfire]]'', the Splattershot had the [[Tenta Missiles]]; in the final game, it instead has the [[Splashdown]]. The sub weapon remained as [[Burst Bomb]]s. The beta combination was given to the [[Splat Dualies]], [[Hero Dualie Replicas]], [[Mini Splatling]], and [[Grim Range Blaster]], and the Tenta Missiles appear on the [[Kensa Splattershot]].
* In the [[Splatoon (manga)|''Splatoon'' manga]] bonus chapter "Splattershot Jr.", the character [[Splattershot Jr. (character)|Splattershot Jr.]] wins a Golden Splattershot with the help of Team Blue.
* The {{S}} version of the Splattershot appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' in several of the Inkling Girl's and Inkling Boy's animations, namely the animations for being chosen on the character select screen, doing tricks off ramps, and finishing a race or battle in the top-half positions.
* The Splattershot appears to be loosely based on the Super Soaker 50, the first super soaker and one of the most influential water guns- though due to common nature of water guns, it is not possible to determine reliably.
*Prior to [[Chill Season 2022]] in ''[[Splatoon 3]]'', the Splattershot was originally the only main weapon in the game to have an alternate variant, being the [[Hero Shot Replica]].
*This is one of the weapons available to use in the ''[[Splatoon 3 Splatfest World Premiere]]''.
