Starting from Tumetto Rocks, each and every level that doesn't involve digging into ruins should have at least one Compass for you to pick up.
Bring this Compass to the treasure map, and it will show one of three different ways of leading you to a hidden level called a Sampler Dungeon.
Sampler Dungeons play more like a level in Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion, or Splatoon 3's Hero Mode, where your Mechanic has to complete the dungeon under very specific conditions. They will or won't be given a combination of a weapon and gadgets that they'll need to complete the Sampler Dungeon.
These are really just here to make sure to teach you how to use every Gadget that you can unlock in this whole game. They will be preset with their own parts, completely separate from how you've equipped the Gadgets for over raids or if you even had the Gadget beforehand at all.
----------
Dashes of Spice focuses on you using the Dash Bomb to race through all the Spirhalite-encrusted Squid Rings. Using it makes your Mechanic dash forward with an explosion, hurting nearby targets as they jet off.
----------
When you complete a Sampler Dungeon for the first time, you get a Skill Tome, or in other words a Skill Point, which you can then use to upgrade your Tanks.
I had also realized that customizable Gear has also been expanded. They're just clothes for your Mechanic, and they will not affect your stats, this time. You gain them each by completing certain conditions throughout this game.
