How to Win the Squid-Hunt Mini Game

Fire at Adjacent Squares to Uncover a Squid

Squids cover two to four tiles in the grid. Once you land a hit, aim at the surrounding squares in order to find the rest of its body.

Save Before Playing

Sploosh Kaboom costs 10 Rupees to play one round. If you aren't careful, you may run out of Rupees while trying to win or get a high score. It is good to save before you play to give you the chance to reset when you get bad results.

Use Save States on the Switch 2

NSO Switch 2 Save States
If you are playing on the Switch 2 with the NSO service, you may use save states. This allows you to save and reset in the middle of the game, making it easier to get a high score.

Lower Your Initial Score

You can get rewards for setting high scores, so it is best to make your initial score easier to surpass. Once you have found the third squid, you may hit a few empty squares in order to lower your score.
