Last week, Nintendo revealed (via the @SplatoonNA Twitter account) that Splatoon 3's upcoming Big Run event was going to be one for the books. Not only is the event set to take over the Grand Festival's new 'Grand Splatlands Bowl' stage, but the Golden Egg quota will be one, huge target for all employees to contribute towards. Well, we now know what the quota will be...
As revealed by @SplatoonJP, the next Big Run target is a whopping 700 million Golden Eggs. Yes, million.
We Big Run employees are used to numbers a little lower than that, but let's not forget that this is a worldwide quota. Anyone who nabs a Golden Egg in the event from 6th-8th September will contribute to the overall target, and Fish Scales will be distributed to all, should we hit it.
To help reach the goal, Grizzco is placing special egg launchers around the stage, enabling employees to land more in the basket within the Big Run time limit. How very generous...
Even with the launchers in tow, 700 million is a pretty intimidating number. It's going to take a true worldwide effort to pull this one off.
Let's hope we can do it because the Grand Festival Splatfest isn't far behind. Just days after this behemoth Big Run event, the Splatlands will be home to "the biggest Splatfest ever", with the 'Grand Festival' getting underway from 12th-15th September.

That number must be a reference to the Now or Never Seven, or the seven idols of Splatoon. 100 million for each character.
I'm glad that Grand Run has turned out to be more special after all. I would love for there to be new music like a collab between Omega 3 and Deep Cut as well as a special King Salmonid, but at least we have a special site, not just another BIG Big Run.
I have a feeling we will smash this target easily and maybe even max out the counter. Splatoon players are not to be underestimated lol.
love this. ive always hated how the game discourages playing salmon run too long, maxing out rewards each day. i wanna go HAM
Makes you wonder why Mr Grizz doesn’t just put egg launchers to help you all the time 🤔
@Yosher I average 50 games during Big Runs with ~130 each shift. That's already shy of 7000 for me (my teams) alone so we just need 100 thousand more teams to do the same. S3 sold 12 mil copies so just 1% of that population, definitely achievable.
@NFrealinking I imagine the new stage is three times the size of normal fishing sites, so one Big Shot launcher might not be enough. But I fear for some teams that everyone might go ham on the launchers and no one actually deposits the eggs 😂 (Instead of launchers Mr. Grizz should've given us additional BASKETS!)
So are Big Shots just not appearing on this stage then? I guess they finally decided they want some privacy... Either that or they'll still appear with their own cannon and occasionally stop to make out with each other again.
Overfishers rise up! We can do this! For the Cephalociety!
the goal is (holds up evil pinkie)1 billion eggs!
@KayFiOS They might make use of Mr Grizz's new installations when they appear
When the plumbing gets tough, the tough get plumbing.
@Zeldinion @KayFiOS Or worse, Big Shots might spawn not just one spot but EVERYWHERE the new launchers are! 'Shot hits the fan fast...
Does anyone else see what this Splatoon event is really about? It’s Nintendo’s way of gauging how much they should invest in Splat00n4 when it releases in May 2025 (according to google). With their relatively limited live online game offerings, this project has become a major focus for them.
My recommendation to everyone is to play every day
as much as possible. This will help show Nintendo the active user engagement and provide them with the data needed to make the next version of the game even better! Also if struggling w weight loss, get a cheap walmart $99 bike and ride until your belly disappears! hack your body & mind, while playing 5 min rainmaker. it works! <3 w love, FT
