I was preparing to go to work at like 7:00 am when I saw the YouTube notification on my phone. It was just surreal to see them shadow drop the announcement like that.

I WAS ABOUT TO GO TO BED!!! NINTENDO YOU CANNOT SHADOW DROP THIS!!!

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!

MARIO KART 9!?!?! YOU GONNA REVEAL IT JUST LIKE THAT?!?!

Oh my god Splatoon 4 about to go CRAZY with the mouse feature on the joy cons.

Nintendo casually shadow dropping the announcement for their most anticipated console ever is so funny to me.

*takes the talking stick*

Alright so um

Misc stuff lmao

Aside from the overarching threat of Dub and Cubic (and mid s3 onwards, Barracuda), each area has a main antagonist related to the respective caretaker of the area’s tree that repeatedly pops up and torments said caretaker, those being:

PolyLands: Cintagram (his relation to Pentellow isn’t revealed immediately, and he refuses to stay purified and seems to have it out for Iris, which is later revealed to be due to Iris’ dad basically forcing Cintagon to give up Pentellow to the SphereLands so she could be set up with Iris) (they fall in love before the arranged relationship could happen though lmao)

SphereLands: Circubit (gayass is undead and very pissed at a certain grape man, hopefully I don’t need to explain his relation to Iris or his motivations hsdhjdjdj)

PrismLands: Ajaceare (met as early as s1 but isn’t a major threat until s3, I’m thinking she was maybe friends with Barracuda once upon a time and knew how shitty of a parent Pyrare was to him so she kinda has it out for him, she also has it out for her sisters due to them being basically the sibling equivalent of helicopter parents)

The CubeLands technically has three, though one is a red herring and is actually on the heroes’ side:

Zone is the red herring, he’s corrupted and seemingly aggressive towards the group, but it turns out he’s trying to get them away from someone they perceive as an ally who doesn’t have their best interests in mind

Karat is Zone’s (very abusive) mother who puts on a kind and generous facade, when in reality she’s trying to worm her way into the caretakers’ good books so she can expand her business to the rest of Paradise, she also ends up driving a rift within the group due to sowing doubt about Cyanide and Circusic’s intentions (as they’ve joined the group by this point)

Lycanthropy is the one with actual relation to Cube, he’s basically a persistent annoyance fuelled by jealousy of Cube gaining a high status while he’s left just in the background

As for recurring allies that help the main group within their respective seasons:

S1: Circumsphere (he misses his boyfriend and has no idea why he’s so fucking mad at the grape)

S2: Big Giant Circles (they’re old friends of Iris’ (except for Spheer, who only has very vague memories of him) and just wanna help him)

S3: Antimonos (old friend of Pyrare’s who is looking for his adoptive son who got kidnapped by the corrupts)

S4: Decep (said son who got kidnapped by the corrupts, was also horrifically experimented on to create an artificial reaper as Calcifer wouldn’t do Dub’s bidding and he wasn’t giving up on the Barracuda revival plot LMAO), Zone (mid s4 after he confronts Karat onwards)

Cube isn’t the only caretaker to get corrupted during the series, as Iris gets his ass kicked by Circusic’s grieving and corrupted mother and ends up getting corrupted himself (and turns into the biggest bastard in existence, aka Ecllipse)

Cyanide never purifies because fuck you, she gains the caretaker/hero connection with Circusic at the end of s2 when she defends him from Ecllipse and becomes functionally pure, the two join the gang (rather reluctantly on Cusic’s end) from the beginning of s3 onwards

Cyanide is also able to parade as a corrupt due to still being pink, meaning she’s able to gather intel into Dub’s plans

Thinking maybe Circusic and Circubit have a sort of symbiotic relationship or something, where they’re both present as Cusic is half corrupted (the corruption’s keeping him alive so he can’t be fully pure) and if need be Bit can take over and deal with things (so like. System coded basically /silly)

Cyan’s joy and whimsy continually diminishes throughout the series which ultimately leads to his demise in the final battle against Dub, luckily Tree Piece Ex Machina exists and he gets revived and kickstarts the TIO sequence (the other heroes TIO as well thanks to them all being connected in a way)

Oh yeah and Dub straight up dies after TIO, both due to stabbing himself with a tree piece and also because he’s been corrupted for so long that he just. Cannot survive pure whatsoever (the only two people who aren’t perfectly okay with his death are Barracuda and Pyrare lmao, everyone else celebrates)

Idrk what else LMAOOO
