Recon is a feature since Splatoon 1 when press Y in the lobby screen will show a selection of the stages at that time's rotation. Clicking on the choice of 2 stages, the players will be transported to that stage.
Usage
Recon mode can be used for many things.
- Exploring the map
- Practice
- Mess Around and Have Fun
Notes
- In Rainmaker, trying to dunk the rainmaker won't do anything
- In Tower Control, riding the tower to the end won't do anything other than player a sound effect
- In Splat Zones, inking the zone will not start a count down
- In Clam Blitz, clams will spawn but throwing the Power Clam at the basket won't start the countdown.
- Music won't play
- It can be exited at any time by pressing the start button (plus sign shaped)
