Returning from its predecessors as a playable online multiplayer game mode is Regular Battle, known as Turf War.<ref name="GI" /> In Turf War, two teams of four players compete to cover the most amount of the map's area in their respective ink color.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.polygon.com/22526099/splatoon-3-switch-gameplay-nintendo-direct|title=Splatoon 3 teases the return of mammals in its squid-fueled adventure|date=23 September 2021|access-date=1 October 2021|website=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]|last=Diaz|first=Ana|archive-date=28 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210928032434/https://www.polygon.com/22526099/splatoon-3-switch-gameplay-nintendo-direct|url-status=live}}</ref> Each team can cover over an area covered by the opponents ink with their own color. When walked on, the opposing team's ink slows movement, gradually deals damage and prevents the use of the player's swim form.<ref name="EuroG"/> Each player is equipped with a weapon set, chosen before each match, and each set comes with secondary and special weapons in addition to its main weapon. Secondary weapons provide alternative methods of attacking the other team and inking the ground; for example, Splat Bombs that explode a second after contact with the surface and Burst Bombs that explode upon impact. When enough ground is covered in a player's ink, they may use a special weapon, which are primarily used to attack the opposing team.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chandler |first=Sam |date=19 September 2022 |title=All weapons, subs & specials - Splatoon 3 |url=https://www.shacknews.com/article/132358/splatoon-3-weapon-sub-special-list |access-date=12 October 2022 |website=Shacknews |language=en |archive-date=12 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221012001603/https://www.shacknews.com/article/132358/splatoon-3-weapon-sub-special-list |url-status=live }}</ref> Weapons and other forms of attack can deal damage to opposing players; when enough damage is given, they will "splat" their opponent, forcing them to restart from their starting location. Whichever team covers the largest portion of the field at the end of the match is declared the winner.
Once a player gains enough [[experience point]]s to reach level 10,{{efn| Alternatively by transferring data from ''[[Splatoon 2]]''}} they gain access to a ranked mode called Anarchy Battles,{{efn|Named "Ranked Battles" in its predecessors<ref>{{cite web|title=Game Modes|url=https://splatoon.nintendo.com/game-modes/|website=Splatoon 2 - Nintendo|publisher=Nintendo|access-date=15 February 2023|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180218210602/https://splatoon.nintendo.com/game-modes/|archive-date=18 February 2018}}</ref>}} featuring several different battle types.<ref name="EuroG" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Michael |first=Cale |date=9 September 2022 |title=How to unlock Anarchy Battle ranked in Splatoon 3 |url=https://dotesports.com/splatoon/news/how-to-unlock-anarchy-battle-ranked-in-splatoon-3 |access-date=12 October 2022 |website=[[Dot Esports]] |publisher=[[Gamurs]] |language=en-US |archive-date=12 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221012001602/https://dotesports.com/splatoon/news/how-to-unlock-anarchy-battle-ranked-in-splatoon-3 |url-status=live }}</ref> Clam Blitz sees players collect golden [[clam]]s and deposit them in the opponent's goals, with the team who deposited the most clams by the end of the match declared the winner.
This game also sees the return of "[[Splatoon#Splatfests|Splatfests]]", where players choose to join one of three teams (compared to the two teams in the previous games) over a particular theme, and over three days they engage in matches to gain the most points for victory. In ''Splatoon 3'', a new "Tricolor Turf War" mode can be played during the second half of a Splatfest, where one team of four players defends an "Ultra Signal" at the center of the map from two teams of two attacking players. When an attacking team takes control of the Ultra Signal, it will summon a "Sprinkler of Doom", which will automatically ink a portion of the map's area for that team.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Nintendo Support: How to Update Splatoon 3 |url=https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/59461 |access-date=6 January 2023 |website=Nintendo Support |archive-date=6 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230106032533/https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/59461 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=10 August 2022 |title=Squid Research Lab dives deep into Splatoon™ 3 |url=https://splatoon.nintendo.com/en/news/squid-research-lab-dives-deep-into-the-splatlands/ |access-date=6 January 2023 |website=Splatoon 3 - Nintendo |language=en |archive-date=5 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230105154848/https://splatoon.nintendo.com/en/news/squid-research-lab-dives-deep-into-the-splatlands/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Destruct"/><ref>{{Cite web |last=Denzer |first=TJ |date=10 August 2022 |title=Splatoon 3's Splatfest will include 3-team Tricolor Turf Wars |url=https://www.shacknews.com/article/131781/splatoon-3-splatfest-tricolor-turf-wars |access-date=11 October 2022 |website=Shacknews |language=en |archive-date=11 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221011230938/https://www.shacknews.com/article/131781/splatoon-3-splatfest-tricolor-turf-wars |url-status=live }}</ref>
