Editing Splat Roller

Upon use, Inkling will take out the Splat Roller and begin to slide it across the ground, covering the ground in ink.  If an enemy that is standing on the ground is hit by the Roller, they will be [[buried]]. Rolling over an enemy that is already buried will instead launch them. The move has no effect on airborne opponents. If Inkling's ink tank is empty, the move has no effect, will not ink the stage, and Inkling will move much slower. The move can be canceled by pressing the special move button.

The Splat Roller is one of the [[inkipedia:main weapon|main weapons]] and [[inkipedia:rollers|Roller]] class weapons available to the player in ''{{s|inkipedia|Splatoon}}'' and ''{{s|inkipedia|Splatoon 2}}''. In its home series, the Splat Roller could also fling ink a short distance to deal damage. In ''Splatoon 2'', jumping and flinging ink in midair would result in the player performing a [[inkipedia:vertical swing|vertical swing]], which allows ink to be flung farther, albeit slower. Running over an enemy Inkling with the Splat Roller would almost always splat an enemy in one hit, making the weapon very deadly in melee range. Its coloration is based on its appearance in the original ''Splatoon''.  

The movement-slowing properties of the ink left behind by the Splat Roller in ''[[Ultimate]]'' originate from the ''Splatoon'' series, where players will temporarily have their speed and jump height reduced while they are stepping in enemy ink. Unlike in ''Ultimate'', this ink can be left behind by all weapons, not just Rollers, and will remain for the rest of the match.

*Certain terrains in ''Ultimate'' cannot be covered with ink by the splat roller. Using it on these terrains will not drain the ink meter; however, the roller will still bury and ink opponents that it hits. These include:
