24 SIDE ORDER EASTER EGGS YOU MISSED! | Splatoon 3 

WHAT OTHER EASTER EGGS DID YOU FIND WHILE PLAYING? Edit: For #17, There is actually some additional character icons behind the elevator entrance which I missed before uploading.

i noticed whenever you get Pearls Dualies and she wonders about where she got them she says "Your guess is as good as mine." which i believe is a subtle nod to when you saw a mem cake in Octo Expansion that you didn't have and said this line

It's funny how Pearl LOVES being a drone. Any normal person: "Help, I got turned into a drone." Pearl: "Yo! This is awesome!!!"

The Jelletons are actually named after musical terms! This leads to a layered pun with Parallel Canon, as "canon" both means a repeating melody (the boss being a group of Inkling like Jelletons) and a set of works that form a continuity (a "parallel canon" where Team Order won)

"Marina REALLY loves pearl." Marina saying, "Pearlie~" lives rent-free in my head 😂

Did you know that if you stand idle in the hub world, pearl will go into inkling form and sit in three different places

2:40 Also, gelatin is usually made from bones, so it is cool how the enemies are, well, bones in gelatin.

2:57 The enemie names are actually based off musical terms, for example “andante” means moderately slow in Italian, the original language of music terms. I think this naming scheme is a nod to Off The Hooks musical specialty.

4:28 Actually, the reason she says that is likely cause the vending machine is the exact same model as those found in Inkopolis Plaza. It has the Express logo on it.

Not only is parallel canon an exact replica of your agent 4 from your Splatoon 2 save, Eight is also the same octoling from your octo expansion save! If you have data from octo expansion, during customization in side order Eight already has their appearance from OE taken from your Splatoon 2 data (I noticed that when I started side order and before I touched anything Eight was a pale male octoling with purple eyes, just like how I had them in octo expansion)

For fact 12, the latin is actually mostly music terms! For example - Marching Andante has Andante which indicates a walking tempo, and Whirling Accelerando has accelerando which means speed up in music

- When you fight Overlorder the first time, once you collect all the color chips, you can defeat it on your own without using Pearl's Color Wail (your main weapon is really OP at this point), it takes some time to defeat it and even Pearl will react to this. - Acht mentions that they escaped Kamabo Co. after hearing a voice while still trapped below. After the first completion of the Spire, in a conversation inside the elevator they'll ask Pearl if she was in the Deepsea metro and she'll respond that she defeated Tartar with her "Princess Cannon". Acht then confirms that this was the voice they heard back then, implying that Pearl also saved them that day. - Another interesting conversation inside the elevator implies that Pearl is incredibly good at playing rhythm videogames. Acht tells Marina that her musical videogame was too hard because the music plays at 888 bpm and it's impossible to hit every note without failing, so she would make it easier. Marina tells them that instead she wanted to increase the difficulty because Pearl was able to beat the game without missing a single note, saying it was too easy. Skill issue, Acht 😂

1:06 they're actually always reactive! Before you clear the spire, the effects are still reactive, just in a different pattern since its a different song. In fact, there's effects outside the spire that are also react to the music!

side order was just yuri with a side of plot 🪿

4:31 this is not a reference to Octo expansion's vending machine, it is a reference to the fact that the vending machine is an Express branded vending machine, that you can see in certain maps, and is also the company that made the big swig Express.

Some music easter eggs not mentioned: • #0.1 style and #12.2 awakened are remixed versions Dedf1sh songs, specifically #0 shell and #12 awake. • The Onward! Leitmotif can be heard in every boss song (other than Overlorder). • In the post game foyer, the giant shape spinning in the middle when the foyer goes dark actually has audio attached to it, if you manage to get into it, it will play the leitmotif for short order. • If you stitch the audio clips for Asynchronous Rondo together, you can make it sing Ebb and Flow. This can also be done with Pinging Marciale which would make it sing Fly Octo Fly. • The high note Marina pulls in Spectrum Obligato is near identical to the one she did during a concert when performing Ebb and Flow.

The floor lights in the foyer will change color to match the type of color chip you had the most of in your previous run! Pearl even mentions this, saying that Marina told her this info. For example, if most of your chips were Mobility, the lights would be blue the next time you enter the foyer!

Yo u missed one! If u go afk long enough in a specific spot in the square pearl will transform into her inkling form and sit on the overhang above the door to Deca tower and wait for you to come back.

The stat screen rotating thingy is the only thing I didn’t know. And I guess that the corner pillars had icons for octolings and octarians. I also found out that there is an extra melody that plays in the foyer when you somehow fly through one of those orb light thingies in the center of the foyer that appears at some parts of the music. Most people probably don’t know that because why the hell would you try that. Also the Pinging Marciale and the Asynchronous Rondo both sing a slowed down and distorted version of Ebb & Flow. And all 3 bosses are named after musical terms wich are present in their themes.

4:35 Also would like to mention that the vending machine is the exact same as the ones in Inkopolis Plaza which is what the dialogue could possibly be referencing

It's crazy how you can make the ebb and flow theme with the color chips.

some additional things i noticed: #12: as an Italian, and a musician, all the secondary words for the enemies are based off of musical terms! you can go onto inkipedia and see what they mean. also, the minibosses' songs feature styles of music from their names! also, it's pronounced "ahn dawn te" not "ane dan te" :)

Another cool detail is that your ink color and pattern are determined by how much of a certain color chip you have for example if you have a lot of red then your unk cilor will be red. If the second most saturated color chip is purple then you will have the purple pattern in the ink.

I find it hard to believe that the inkling in parallel canon is supposed to match your agent four because I never used the short hairstyle yet it’s still what hairstyle it has

Something I noticed as a Clarinetist, the suffixes are all actually from things in music! The most obvious for me was the Swarming Arpeggio

Last fact be like: They're lesbians, Your Honor!

1:36 That’s why the Jelletons stop spawning. They’re so sick of Off The Hook’s unskippable news that they just say “Hell naw”💀💀💀

2:59 andante is used for something that is in constant movement.

The asynchronous rondo is based of off of the panopicton prison design and that is why the rondo theme is called 0ct0pict0n

Actually, the vending machine is the same one in Inkopolis Plaza

Fun fact:Your ink color depends on what chips you have for example if you have more drone chips your color will be cyan/light blue

Fun fact: After you beat 30F for the first time and the foyer has the music and lights, you can go to one of those pillars with the little speed pad (I forgot the name) and when lights turn off into the foyer, glide to the floating object into the middle. Once inside it, you’ll hear music like Ebb & Flow!

4:15 also in the hotlantis shop, there's a poster with the same design as the cover art for that game

#21, the vending machine found in side order is actually the one from Inkopolis plaza in Splatoon 1, not the one from octo expansion.

Another little Easter egg! If you stand idle long enough Pearl will either fall asleep or turn back into her regular self perched up somewhere sitting and kicking her feet :D!

Beautiful ending

you forgot to mention that marina has a different laptop cuz in the octo expansion she has a laptop resembling a macbook but in side order it’s a different laptop

Glad u put some of my findings lol Awesome vid ❤

Btw the vending machine is the exact same one from the splatoon 1 hub which im pretty sure she was referencing

The vending machine is actually a callback to splatoon 1 and 3, as that exact vending machine was in both hub worlds/cities

One thing I noticed... the tune that plays when finishing each stage as you return to the elevator is also the opening bit of Spectrum Obligato.

This entire DLC was just a love letter to Splatoon 2 fans. Also Bigmans favorite weapon is the Slosher... How does he hold it? ???

Did you forget that The UI on Marina's PC When she develops Pearl drone, It shows a bare resemblance to Unity.

2:50 also they're classical musical terms like the accelerando means to gradually speed up tempo

Italian here! The jelletons' names are italian words used in musical context to specify the "tempo" of a song and the way it should be played by the orchestra. The first compositors to use such words were italian so even after it became a popular thing all over the world, those words never got translated. Looking deeper into it those words all have their own "personalities" that also match with the jelletons! I saw a youtube video going further into the meaning and "personalities" of the words if anyone is interested.

Btw in the names of the enemies like Marching Andante, the second word is always (iirc) a word used in music sheets to describe the rhythm or something about the music

4:34 may be referring to the octo expansion DLC, or the dialog could be referring to the fact that you've had more than one run. Pearl may be making a pun about how many times your had a run on the spire, acting as if she'd never seen the vending machine corner before. just a guess.

I feel like at the end of side order it showed the true meaning of splatoon... "Stay fresh..."

Fun Fact: Marina's headgear (when she got brainwashed by order), if you look at the sides, you will find the halves of the VirtualBoy controller. Funny given the contex

I saw that if you are able to beat the tower and go to the weapons menu you can actually see Order talk about the Idol depending on what weapon you cleared it with. (Also nice video man! 😃)

The jelletons are actually based off of musical terms! For example, the marching andante’s Andante, means to go at normal speed, when playing a piano or other instrument.

The jelletons and bosses are named after musical terms, and the bosses are scored to match! I suggest watching the video “the canon in parallel canon” to get the full picture because it’s hard for me to explain

Sorry if I missed it but whenever you go and fight smollusk after you beat him once, each time you go back his name changes depending on what number fight this is. It took me till fight three to see it but it’s such a fun and cute detail!

2:57 andante means walking person👍

4:08 that’s cute I love it 😂

2:50 the names of each enemy are common terms for music with Andante being a specific tempo or speed at which a song is read and played.

4:07 I’m glad Nintendo realized how players would do this possibly expecting nothing 💀

The lights still react to the music before completing the tower for the first time. It's just slightly different with less lights

0:14 IS THAT A GEOMETRY DASH REFERENCE!?!?!?

Great video!

the ending music for when you enter the elevator after beating the final boss plays a part of a song from the splat fest theme from splatoon two is another easter egg

Jelletons are Gelatin + Skeleton. Their Japanese name is Sukerutōns (Skele-tones).

3:58 instead of an enemy octoling, I’m pretty sure it’s past marina as a enemy. I can tell because she had short curly tentacles unlike the other enemy octolings. 4:00 and for here it’s probably the octo shot, because the splattershot and octo shot look completely different. Even though the splatoon 1 splattershot look a bit similar. a lil edit also if you look a bit around the pillars you can also see a flooder, marinas enemy invention.

2:58 also! Marina's boss name "Marina Agitando" is Portuguese for "Shaking Marina"

put this in my watchlater and had a dream the following night about watching this video

#21 Theres a multitude of that same vending maching in Inkopolis Plaza I believe.

2:00 I literally did that but didn’t notice, dang. I was just trying to hear all the sounds lol

1:06 #5 kinda lies. Every element of light in Foyer corresponds to cetrain effect in music, ALWAYS. That's why music sounds diffrent depending how far are you from a light. Completing Spire of Order only changes a music to more funky one.

Cool video, bro 👍

1:09 They always reacted to the beat of music, just became more obvious as you progress.

You saved my life of looking where to fight Marina again❤

0:37 that's why i have the pearl wallpaper on my windows 11 machine

Marina loving Pearl isn't an Easter Egg, it's canon as far as i'm concerned

jelletons is actually both a play on jelly/gelaton and skeleton bc they have they have their skeletons inside the jelly body

2:02 AYO! EBB AND FLOW ‘24?! It’s also a bop when it’s at 0.75 speed

Another thing at 3:40 Marina's headset (and subsequently the Controller VM headgear) is actually a reference to Nintendo's Virtual Boy. The controllers can be seen attached to the sides of the head.

0:33 THE LE SSERAFIM VIDEO

I'm glad this video is only 5 minutes because some of these feel like they're just padding and not worth mentioning, or some even aren't easter eggs

1:15 I'm 90% sure that this also happens even before you beat the spire

Hey if you fight overlorder again (story / the replay with the colour chips) and don’t use the special/colour chip boost and use your weapon instead, Pearl will say something.

4:15 that had posters of it in the metro area of the square in 2 aswell

Sad that it wasn't pointed out that the controller bits in Marina's headset that she wears during her boss fight resemble Virtual Boy controllers.

Random one but marinas umbrella palettes most common tone is literally the pearl drone chips T_T they are so gay

fact: the speaker tentacles thing from the final boss is the same ones as dj octavio's speaker tentacle in Splatoon one.

4:35 Actually, the same exact vending machine is in Splatoon 1 lobby

i'm pretty sure the wiki says marina has a crush on pearll

Actually the second word in every jelloton name is a music term, usually relating to their behaviour

I think all jelletons, even the bosses, are named from music terms

Almost at 10k! 🎉

Guys Im gonna get side order in 2 days!!! IM SOOO EXCITED!

4:21 actually ... this vending machine is the same one as the inkopolis plaza one but the bottle are white

The lights are reactive to the music before you beat the spire as well...

Not related to side order, but the appearance capitain agent 3 resembles in the Splatoon 3 campaign, is copied over from your octo expansion save file if you have splatoon 2's dlc and game

The vending machine is actually also in inkopolis plaza and many places

bro atleast octavio got some respect in side order

Not just jello, also skeleton

I’m gonna be real Marina has good taste of the splatoon 2 brella kits and Octavio should make the kits too

Jelletons are name after music terminology so yeah thats why the name are italien...

Did no one notice or is it to obvious to point out: marina is wearing something that resembles a virtual boy in the first boss fight.

I dont know if its an easter egg but Pearl drone is speaking english words/phrases like "Jackpot" and other real words.
