Hey guys! Today, I'm opening a simple poll. My question for you: What's your favorite Salmon Run stage?

For me, it has to be Ruins of Ark Polaris. It's new, but I'm crazy for it already. The scenery, the atmosphere, and the Inkrails! I didn't like it very much at first, but after I started to play a few rounds, I realized how amazing it really was.

What's yours? Let me know!
 
I really like Marooner's Bay. I find the layout is easier to not die on.

Also, I seriously had no idea Ruins of Ark Polaris even existed before this thread. I need to get a Switch online membership soon...

Ah, it was only added a few days ago. A really fun stage though!
 
Yeah, I really like all the details in Ruins of Ark Polaris too :) It's so cool with all the ink rails and how it's tiered.
I also like Lost Outpost as well. It's pretty easy to navigate around and I feel like I've played a lot on that stage!
 
Spawning grounds is ok, smokeyard is clunky feeling to me, marooner's bay is my least favorite because partners on it run up to bosses and kill them and don't take eggs back, ark Polaris is really cool and people seem good about it but it's second.

Lost outpost is probably my favorite, it's got interesting lay out, I like the walls and every weapon feels smooth on it, especially chargers and rollers which can run into problems on a lot of others
 
I'm probably biased because it's so new, lol. But I mean... Ruins just has so much going for it... It's really fun trying to navigate it! But before it released, I think my favorite was a tie between Spawning Grounds and Marooner's Bay. Lost Outpost is fine, but my least favorite has always been Salmonoid Smokeyard. Not sure why, exactly, I just... think the layout is the weakest.
 
Ark Polaris is going to be my pick too. I absolutely love the theme of it (wow who could've guessed), and the layout is a great change from the other stages.

Beyond that... I'd order them as Spawning Grounds > Lost Outpost > Marooner's Bay >>> Salmonid Smokeyard. Spawning Grounds has a simple, open layout so it's easy to run around it. Lost Outpost is the complete opposite with huge walls closing off parts of the stage, but it's still easy to navigate through it, especially if you use the walls to swim on. Marooner's Bay is nice too, but I just like the 3 above it more. Salmonid Smokeyard is probably the only one I dislike, the stream down the middle makes this stage 2 tiny islands on high tide and it just doesn't have enough space to properly manage all of the bosses that'll get shoved directly in your face (Profreshional 400 btw).
 
I tend to do well whenever Salmonid Smokeyard comes up (reached Prof 700+ and beaten several HLM runs) so I guess that's my favorite map. Then followed by Lost Outpost, Spawning Grounds, then Marooners Bay last. Ruins of Ark Polaris looks really good but I don't judge the map based on aesthetic. I need to play it a few more.. though I've finished one HLM run on there the last time and grinded up to 16000p lol. For now, I'd probably rank it above MB xD

Lost Outpost is my favorite stage, since I like the layout of it. Same goes for Marooner's Bay.
 
I would say either Marooner's Bay or Spawning Grounds, just because I can handle here the
situation better on this maps. Salmonid Smokeyard is also kinda nice, if it wouldn't has those
dumb Propeller platforms...
 
Ruins of Ark Polaris like the majority of the people apparently. This has got to be the first time I share a popular opinion! But yes the theming is really cool, I love how there's even actual English text scattered around (ooh lore).

Aside from that the stage is just really fun to play on, the movement is amazing with the grindrails and stuff. They add another layer of variety to the different tides too! It's truly great yes yes.

Lost Outpost, Polaris, and Marooners Bay. The other's are ok but I rarely play them unless I can either find a quad to coordinate with or if I really like the weapons.
