Plot
The film begins with Margaret Von Whizz, Sean Arivo, Leah Hozuki, Pearl Hozuki and Marina Ida viewing the opening act of one of their films in a dark movie theatre when Pearl suddenly uses a remote control to fast forward to where they appear in the film. Marina argues that the film shouldn’t go out of order, and attempts to rewind the film back to the beginning. After arguing back and forth, Margaret Von Whizz decides to show the idols her backstory where she lives in the scorched desert after the final splatfest, Chaos Vs. Order.

Margaret Von Whizz and Redave The Smallfry are rookies who lives in the Splatlands, a sun-scorched desert inhabited by battle-hardened people, inklings and octolings, and Splatsville, a city of chaos that developed rapidly since the last Splatfest of the second Splatoon game, Chaos Vs. Order. After sending a poem to someone before heading to the city, she and her smallfry enter a subway train all the way to Splatsville, where news reporters Shiver, Frye and Big Man announce a very special event after the legendary zap-light has been stolen. The event was named “The Super Duper Special Woo-Hoo Day Party”, where everyone can have a blast. However, it only takes 3 weeks to finish, much to the dismay of Margaret and her smallfry.

Upon arriving at the hidden poem room, she is thrilled to see so many poems, until she bumps into one of them. She was confused at seeing the mysterious poem and it takes her to a supermarket, filled with items including some dirty dolls, and gets chosen by a woman, who declares to throw her and the other dolls in the oven. After being saved by a boy named Sean Arivo, they decide to get along together and spend some time making new memories. Margaret Von Whizz explains to Sean about joining The Crimson Paw, lead by female pop star Delilah Atkinson, and her teammates are Justin Hodland, Robert Groge, Clover Rose and Nina Extama. Sean Arivo is uninterested at first, but agrees with the plan anyway. They head to the sewers and meet up with Agent Leah, the lost long sister of Pearl Hozuki, Mizuki Yerin, Sandee Onga, Moshilé Frederick and Kukuru Natin.

As they have a chat about Margaret Von Whizz joining a group, they are interrupted by the band Deep Cut, who have already announcing the Splatcast, now they’ve come here to help get her to Mushroom Academy. The two rats notice them and they start a chase. They capture the team, but Agent Leah, Kukuru and Frye manage to escape in time. Using a katana to free them from a rope, they enter a mysterious place held by Coco’s dad, a large crocodile who hates Inklings and Octolings, including Manta Rays. Coco, the crocodile egg, appears with his team, including Serp, a rattlesnake egg, Torti, a slow turtle egg and Iguano, the caveman reptile egg. The reptiles start attacking them, but they soon get taken up into the sky by the new squidbeak splatoon. Callie meets them, but Marie doesn’t understand their names, rather than talking to inklings and octolings and Nidem, a male Agent 3, introduces them to their group.

They manage to escape from the reptiles once again, but Coco decides to go down a zip-wire, and the other reptiles follow him. Serp decides that if they broke anymore eggs, they can have a chance to eat Inklings and Octolings. The reptiles are confused as Coco manages to make an agreement, and pretends to pass out. Serp doesn’t get it, but he realizes it’s time for the breakdown of eggs, inklings and Octolings and manta rays. They march towards a big party hosted by Off The Hook. Pearl Hozuki and Marina Ida are hosting a big event at the Inkopolis Disco. Realizing that the other inklings and octolings have been captured (Frye, Shiver, Big Man, Callie and Marie being one of the victims), Margaret Von Whizz and her friends Sean Arivo, Mizuki, Sandee, Moshilé, Kukuru and Leah Hozuki get a golden crown, a purple suit and a pair of pink sneakers, and they come across a doll with a yellow shirt and a pair of dark blue trousers. They create the most powerful being of all, King Lechanicus, a 10 year old king and the youngest of all people. Meanwhile, Serp and the other reptile eggs decide how the inklings and octolings should be put in a new way, but the door bursts and in comes the group. Pearl and Marina find everyone gone, as the reptiles escape. They sigh and decide to give up, but Leah refuses, deciding that they should do it together.

They finally find the treasure, and using their powers, they decide to let Mizuki and her friends transform Margaret Von Whizz, Sean Arivo, Leah Hozuki and King Lechanicus into the cutest heroes that cannot be defeated. Nidem says that it’s time to go to war, and they agree. They walk over to the theme park, where all the inklings and fiendishly octolings are being captive. The reptiles notice the two girls (Pearl Hozuki and her sister Leah Hozuki) running towards a roller coaster, and they manage to attack them. They soon realize that King Lechanicus was following the rest of the inklings and octolings (including Lizzie Clauds, Alex Spider, Freya, Ayana, Melody and James) to the theme park and they being a battle. After a long, tiring battle, the reptiles are defeated. Serp realizing it was all a mistake to come here, before Coco and the rest of the reptiles are locked away by Marie’s precious jewel scarabs and Serp being thrown into the sky by Callie and Marina Ida. They celebrate and free all the people, and then going to Mushroom Academy to celebrate. Margaret Von Whizz manages to get into the school and transforms into a member of The Crimson Paw. Delilah Atkinson welcomes her to the group, and they all have a big dance party and have lots of food and alcohol to celebrate Margaret’s welcome.

Once Margaret Von Whizz’s backstory is over, Callie, Marie, Shiver, Frye, Big Man, King Lechanicus, Mizuki, Sandee, Moshilé, Kukuru, Nidem and eventually many other cartoon characters (such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Snow White and her Seven Dwarfs, Stitch, The Mane 6, Aladdin and Jasmine with the Genie, SpongeBob SquarePants, Bambi etc) join the group to rewatch the movie. As the screen fades to black, Marina tells Sean, Margaret and Leah that Pearl still doesn’t do well in crowds.

After the credits, Ayana and her friends James, Freya and Melody walk home from the longest battle, before entering a lobby where they do a rainmaker battle, before Serp falls on Freya’s head, where the four kids decide to play with him.
