A squid using an Ink Railing.
Ink Railings (Inkrails in the NA version) are one of the mechanics of Hero Mode and Octo Expansion in Splatoon, Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3. An alternative to Launchpads, Inkrails can be used by Inklings in squid form after large nodes are splatted.
Description[]
Ink Railings are thin lines of ink between at least two spherical nodes. Each node has one or more holes shaped like the lip of a cannon, which are positioned at different angles around the node to divert the flow of ink or outright fork the rail. Oftentimes, a bigger node must be covered in ink before an Ink Railing can be used.
While in squid form, an Inkling can use an Ink Railing as a zip-line of sorts. Movement along an Ink Railing, which is controlled with the L-Stick, is relatively quick. The player can move both forwards and backwards on the ink railing. If the player presses X/B on an Ink Railing, his or her Inkling will jump higher than usual. However, most Ink Railings are positioned over a bottomless pit, so returning to Inkling form or misaiming a jump can be lethal.
Unlike Launchpads, Ink Railings can be used to travel back in a level, which can be very helpful when obtaining Sunken Scrolls.
In Splatoon 2, Inkrails appear in online matches as well as in Hero Mode and Octo Expansion.
