'''Salty Island''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' superregional held at the Hotel Continental Express, in Barranquilla, Colombia from August 17th-18th, 2024. At 144 entrants, it is currently the biggest ''Smash'' tournament in Colombia and the eighth-largest ''Smash'' tournament in South America.

==Tournament summary==
The tournament featured a plethora of international players, among them being {{Sm|Mr. E}} from the [[Tristate Area]], {{Sm|Chag}} from [[Mexico City]], {{Sm|Poyo|p=Peru}}, {{Sm|Nacho|p=Peru}}, {{Sm|ErickB}}, {{Sm|Starlee}} and {{Sm|Andre247}} from [[Peru]], {{Sm|Romeo Santos}} from [[El Salvador]] and {{Sm|Peppa}}, {{Sm|Braixen}}, and {{Sm|Tsubasa|p=Chile}} from [[Chile]]. Players from [[Venezuela]], including {{Sm|Styx}}, {{Sm|Calvaflow}}, {{Sm|morrocoYo}}, {{Sm|GARU}}, {{Sm|X-Pelox}} and {{Sm|Pancakes}} were also meant to attend the tournament, but because of the current political situation in that country, none of them were able to make it.

A few surprising upsets occured during the first half of bracket, most notably #56 seed {{Sm|Svn_Arrow}} defeating #9 seed {{Sm|Menma}}, and #97 seed {{Sm|Gyei}} defeating #33 seed {{Sm|Nacho|p=Colombia}}. Many of the top Colombian players also saw underperformances at the event, most notable being #6 seed {{Sm|jjcat00}} finishing at 17th, and #16 seed {{Sm|BetaMan}} exiting the tournament at a surprising 33rd. Ultimately the only Colombian player in Top 8 was {{Sm|Flamax}}, who was able to get an upset on #8 seed Starlee, but was ultimately eliminated at 7th by Romeo Santos.

The second half of the bracket saw some strong runs from two Peruvian players: Nacho and ErickB. Nacho entered top 8 on Winners Side as the #11 seed, defeating jjcat00 and Peppa in order to make it there. He'd lose to Chag, but would continue his run by defeating Romeo Santos in Losers Quarters.
ErickB had entered from Losers Side after a loss to Chag in Winners Quarters, not only eliminating Peppa, but upsetting #1 seed Mr. E and eliminating him at 5th place; Mr. E had already been sent to Losers Bracket by Poyo earlier. ErickB would continue through Losers, eliminating Nacho after a close game 5 before being eliminated at 3rd place by Poyo, who had been sent to Losers by Chag and his {{SSBU|Min Min}} earlier. Ultimately Chag would be able to double eliminate Poyo, once again using his Min Min, to take the entire tournament.
