Cash isn’t the only currency in Splatoon 3, you may have also heard of Super Sea Snails, but can’t seem to get your hands on any.

When the next Splatfest comes around, here’s how to get Super Sea Snails in Splatoon 3.

How to Get Super Sea Snails in Splatoon 3

In the event that Splatfest arrives to Splatoon 3 and you’d like to earn Super Sea Snails, here’s what you do:

After loading into Splatoon 3, turn around. You’ll see the Splatfest stand setting up shop.
Make sure Splatoon 3 is also up-to-date, as well as have your Nintendo Switch updating to the latest version.
Speak with the jellyfish at the stand and choose the team you wish to join.
You are unable to switch teams after you’ve chosen, so be mindful of who you pledge your loyalty to.
After picking a team, enter the Lobby and join the Splatfest event.

If you do participate and want to maximize the Super Sea Snails you get, you’ll have to play as often as possible. The winners of Splatfest will earn more rewards, but you can still take home a big bounty of Super Sea Snails the higher your Splatfest Rank is by the end.
