In the recently released trailer for Splatoon 2’s singleplayer mode, the grind rails were one of the most striking new features. They might seem similar to the ink rails from the first game, but you can actually shoot your weapon while you’re on a grind rail. The official Splatoon Twitter account published a couple more screenshots of the grind rails in action today. Check them out:

The account also published the following gif of the new rolling mats. Inking them unfurls them, albeit only temporarily, which allows them to be used in a variety of ways:

この仕掛けは「ピロピロ」。
丸まった状態で置かれていて、インクを浴びせると転がりながら広がる。
広がった上をヒトやイカで移動でき、広がる勢いで敵を倒すこともできるぞ。
広げてから時間が経ったり、タコのインクを浴びたりすると、また丸まってしまう。
それにしても「ピロピロ」って……。 pic.twitter.com/GcpRjN9aHA
