Following the 2024 Splatoon 3 world championships, Nintendo released a commemorative Splashtag banner depicting the winning team, Jackpot. However, shortly afterwards, the team became embroiled in controversy following allegations of racist comments and behavior both in and out of the game. Nintendo subsequently issued a statement on Twitter announcing that Jackpot's victory would be rescinded and that their banner would be redesigned due to them violating the game's community guidelines. Consequently, the Version 9.0.0 update replaced the design with a placeholder one depicting generic Inklings and Octolings. Nintendo additionally removed footage and social media posts of the championship from their website and social media accounts and pulled the Nintendo Switch News article announcing Jackpot's win.
