Splatoon 2 - Global Final Fest (July 18th) - Random Matches (6/6) (MC Princess Diaries)

Read description first

Saving the best for last, featuring the final Shifty Station.

Key Notes:
- WARNING: This place is one giant spoiler for Octo Expansion. If you haven't completed the story mode for that, do NOT look outside the stage!
- "MC Princess Diaries" is named after "The Princess Diaries" books by Meg Cabot. It references Pearl, her screen name in Octo Expansion's chat room, and the fact she's a hazard in the stage for the opposing team. In Japan, it's called "DEAR SENPAI," which apparently doesn't actually reference any manga, but it references Japanese Marina's respect for Japanese Pearl, since Marina calls Pearl her senpai.
- This stage strangely doesn't list its name in the opening.
- The stage is one large rectangle. Hyperbombs will periodically drop on designated spots, but the bombs on your side can only be blown up by the enemy and vice versa. Using your own ink on the bombs on your side does nothing.
- During the last minute, Pearl (or at least some astral double looking like her) will slowly descend in the middle. Whoever is there in the circle, they'll get to use the Princess Cannon (basically a giant Killer Wail) that can be used to send a huuuge shockwave in any direction. This stage-only Special can destroy Hyperbombs or even force recovering enemies from not wandering outside their Spawn Point, so think carefully how to use it.
- By the way, did you notice this is the only stage set during sunset instead of day or night?

Watch, enjoy, and comment, everyone.
