More Tri-slosher Splat Zones, this time in Museum d'Alfonsino! I try to remember what extra blocks there are in this mode, and then decide to just find out for myself.
I find a block, get to the opponent's side, and then give a couple of them the runaround for a while. ...

I'm tempted to revert to the Splatterscope for this evening's session, but stick with the Tri-slosher. That should work in Splat Zones, I reckon, and Flounder Heights seems like a good map for it.
Rather than do anything flashy, I just aim to get to the top of the Heights and ...

Somehow I never fully learn that rushing headlong to the objective in the middle of the map at the start of a battle almost always gets me splatted. Of course, there are times that I come out on top, but there are also times when it is better to be ...

There's the usual tussle for turf at the start of this Tower Control battle, along with my inevitable early splatting. At least I take one of them with me, but it's a bit of a pain that my Bubbler charges the moment I am splatted.
I like to think I show ...

I'm wearing a super-jump hat! I wonder if I'll remember that, and use it. Probably not. Super-jumping isn't terribly safe, but it can be very useful in Tower Control.
I start as usual, rushing headlong in to a splat. Going back along the same route seems like a good idea, if ...

Chargers remain popular in Tower Control with the promise of Arowana Mall appearing. It's Urchin Underpass again, though. Let's see if I can make better use of my Splatterscope than in the last battle.
First splat is by aiming! Good job, tigerears. The second is from a Splat Bomb. Well, a ...

Tower Control on Arowana Mall, you say? No wonder there are so many chargers, two on each team. And I'm one of them. But then Urchin Underpass comes up, so the joke's on us, I suppose. I imagine we'll persevere for a few battles, though, waiting for the Mall.
Until then, ...

Phew, what a losing streak. Down to A Rank, and nearly dropping out of that! I'm not stopping until I win a battle, though, and to that end I equip my trusty Splatterscope. What can I do with it?
I can be oblivious to my flank, that's what. Situation normal. What ...

All looks fairly standard at the start of this battle. A bit of a tussle for control of the turf, one team grabs the Rainmaker and makes progress, the other team tries to claw their way back. But this is not a normal battle.

Nope. The blue team could easily win ...

The Soda Slosher should work well on Flounder Heights, as long as I actually get up to the top of the Heights and slosh downwards. Which I almost do near the start, but after a couple faltering climbs.
At least I survive the initial onslaught, but at what cost? The green ...
