And to all you crazy Super Animals in Discord who have been requesting the ability to Squid up since Monday, we’ve heard you loud and clear and have implemented the most important feature of all: squid hats. Just enter the code “SquidUp” into the coupon code field in the main menu to earn the ability to squid up with your super friends. You’re welcome.

They’ll now roam in teams of two and four respectively and work together to hunt you down (it’s a bit horrifying, but never fear, their difficulty still scales up depending on your level, so they’ll be easier if you’re new to the game). We’ve also added the highly requested “fill / no fill” option for duos and squads modes so you can choose if you want to be matched up with additional teammates or not when playing with less than a full team. [h1][b]Final Week of Super Summer Royale[/b][/h1] It’s the final week of the Super Summer Royale event (the event ends on August 9th)! Don’t forget that the fruit baskets you find are shared amongst your team, so hunting for them with your duos and squads teammates works especially well. https://youtu.be/bsnUAMGpw-w [h1][b]Revamped Mountains & Caves Across the Entire Island[/b][/h1] We’ve revamped and replaced all of the mountains on the map to match the new style established in the Superite Mountain update, and many of them include new caves to explore! Check out the YouTube video above for a behind the scenes look at how editing Super Animal Island works (and let us know if you’d like to see more videos like this).
