## Plot

After an intense battle against Splatville's Willpower Gang, Kojake wanders off into Grizzco Industries. Goggles and Braids sees him and goes in pursuit after him which makes the rest of their friends worried. They head down the dark corridors and see Ocho and Triple Sunglasses who are working part time and also Mr. Grizz who puts the pair in uniform. The four head out to sea in a helicopter and Tri Sun explains Salmon Run to Braids because it's her debut in the mode. Braids explains that she is looking for Kojake who looks simular to a Smallfry but wears different pants, Tri Sun and Ocho reluctantly decides to help her.

The four super jump from the helicopter to their destination; a stage called Sockeye Station. Braids begins to get scared and gets Ocho's attention, He didn't realize that a Salmonid was behind him... until Goggles warned him! Simultaneously, Wave 1 begins and Braids gets confused and doesn't know what to do. Tri Sun explains to her that they need to defeat the Boss Salmonids and collect Golden Eggs. Then a Maws boss salmonid catches Ocho and Goggles in its mouth. Tri Sun defeats the Maws with a Splat Bomb and recovers Goggles and Ocho. They toss the Golden Eggs in the basket.

A Flipper-Flopper came out of the ground and it's beginning to dive in. To stop it from burrowing into the ground, Goggles, Braids and their colleagues inked inside the lower ring to stop the Flipper-Flopper from diving in, exposing him on the ground and then attack it. Soon afterwards, a Slamming Lid slammed onto Goggles and Ocho, in which Tri Sun assumed that Ocho isn't used to Salmon Run which made Ocho mad. Later... a Fish Stick with smallfrys flying. Goggles assumes that Kojake is up there and goes to check if he's there and ends up spinning with the Smallfrys despite Kojake not being up there. At the same time, there was a big smash on the ground and Big Shot emerges from the steel ball and begins to launch steels balls at a long range. Subsequently, Tri Sun uses the weapon to launch Golden Eggs and to move forward efficiently to pass Wave 1!

Wave 2 begins and soon afterwards, the tide rises up! Tri Sun saves Ocho again by defeating another Salmonid. Ocho thanked him even though he was still grumpy. Soon after, a steel eel catches a naked Goggles in it's mouth and Tri Sun rushes to rescue him. The four continues to defeat Salmonids and collect golden eggs until the 2nd wave is clear. Wave 3 begins and the tide goes down, meaning more space to move around. Goggles activates Booyah Bomb and takes his clothes off.. again! He uses the Booyah Bomb to take down a bunch of Salmonids. Goggles, Braids and their colleagues continue to fight to the end...

Wave 3 is cleared but Goggles and Braids still couldn't find Koyake yet! Then trouble looms when the King Salmonid "Cohozuna" arises from the surface, Goggles and Braids are now faced with a new and unpredictable crisis!
