This is probably the most fun and strategic map mechanic so far. Its really fun especially on Splat Zones

This map is a lot of fun! So far one thing I've found is that some of the small isolated floating platforms are good spots for beakons.

Also, I love how flat this map is, and how easy it is to get around the whole place. It also just looks amazing aesthetically.

A really unique map but there are some elements I dislike:
- The brightness hue could be a bit less, it's too bright.
- It feels very cramped and small, though I using both the E-litre 3k scope and Luna Blaster (very long and very short ranged weapons) there. The length of the map is around 3x 3k-scope shots, and 2x in width, but as there are so many obstacles there are only 2-3 good spots to use. For the lunar blaster I feel that there is an obstacle close to my range of the weapon.

Nonetheless, it is a fun map with a complete change at 1:30 which keeps throwing me off (haha) and a lot of deaths by water (a speck of enemy ink just when I am about to jump and lose momentum)

I was noticing that too, not sure why this map is so unusually bright. I must admit, I actually kind of like it though. Not sure why :p
The map's brightness could be due to the combination of an open air setting, the white floor and the water reflections :cool:

It'd be funny if this map had an extra feature that the glare is less extreme as long as you're wearing some kind of sunglasses, any brand :D

I love Mahi Mahi Resort, although it isn't very good for players under level 20 for levelling up. Also, there are at
least three escape routes from the spawn point if there's an opponent camper near your spawn point, which is great. Although I still need to get used to this map so I don't continue fallin in the water, I have a high opinion of it. However, very often, I see people missing these areas after the water levels drop, so although it's small, it's a nice place to rack up a few points. There are multiple areas like them, and it's compatible with most weapons. :)

Could be, haha, but I doubt it. There are plenty of open-air maps, and if you compare the team colours at the start of a match (spawn), you will notice they are more intense than on other maps.

None of those other maps have bright white floors and water reflections.

The brightness is awful. Rainmaker on that level with pink and yellow ink...the rainmaker was near impossible to see when it was swimming against the yellow/green ink. I was able to swim right past opponents, and they were able to swim right past us (when on team yellow/green). I call BS. It looks terrible. Fun map, but ruined by the neon ink colors/saturation/brightness.

I don't have this problem, perhaps you need to adjust your contrast/color settings?

It seems a bit muted after the update, but no, I tried adjusting the saturation setting on my tv, and it was still disproportionate to other maps. It's only an issue on mahi. (not to sound like a douche, but I do color management for design & print professionally, so this was my first course of action)

This map has a tendancy for comical moments if I use the Bamboozlers, because there are lots of times when squids need to jump over water. And jumping squids are the best charger targets... but it takes two hits with the Bamboozlers so instead of killing them with the shot it will instead stop their momentum and make them crash into the water.

I've gotten at least 10 sort of kills just by dunking squids in the water xD

This map is GREAT for any chargers or E-Liters. Though it's a bit tough jumping from platform to platform, it pays off later on in the battle.

Anyways, this map is good for snipers because there are a lot of good areas to snipe at, and what I like to do is snipe through the railing that becomes accessible when the water level rises.

But because this is a new map, it has a few bugs and flaws. I bet you've seen some complaints about it already, ahah.

Have fun splatting, errbody.

7.8/10, Too much water.

Okay, overused jokes aside, this actually applied to me. When it appeared in the last Splatfest, I seemed to find new ways to fall or land in the water.
