Splat Roller (スプラローラー, Splaroller) is Inkling's side special move.
Overview
Upon use, Inkling will take out the Splat Roller and begin to slide it across the ground, covering the ground in ink that slows enemies that move on it. Only a certain length can be inked at a time (roughly 80 units) and ink fades away in five seconds. 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. If Inkling's ink tank is empty, the move has no effect and Inkling will move much slower.
Origin
The Splat Roller is one of the main weapons and Roller class weapons available to the player in Splatoon and 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 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.
