Behind Splatoon's Final Minute of Music 

OmFGGG COOL!

Also, at the beginning of every battle a weird sounds plays which is a proctor speaking over the speakers across the map saying the turf war is about to begin, and the music plays from those same speakers.

Calamari Inkantation in Splatoon 1 was also heard by any nearby Octarians :)

as early even as e3 they were saying this in response to why some of them are wearing headphones, like the equivalent of popular pop songs or something are playing as they're playing turf war only instead of pop songs it's this splatoon soundtrack hence the bands that compose them are also in-universe too. there were also visible pulsing speakers in the first game's plaza too.

Personally every time without fail I would throw myself behind enemy lines and unleash devastation, usually partaking in more than my fair share of spawncamping from the flank using inkzooka and seekers and making sure that this sixth of the map was mine and only mine, I miss splatoon one honestly, havent been able to play in months and I'm not sure if it's still online. I got the console right before the release of the nintendo switch and the game right before the release of splatoon 2

Music with *Personality you say?* **Laughs in mother 3**

@@boneyzoney9551 😏

It's the only music I listen to. I really don't care for music but Splatoons soundtrack is something else.

@@keinvornamekeinnachname i have a theory... The music, as already described, is awesomely powerful yet not overwhelming. The gameplay, however, is this game's other strength. Here's something to chew on: TIME IS ALWAYS MOVING FORWARD in the Splatoon series. Unlike many other Nintendo games, you either step-up to the "advancing" (song reference) game's timeline, or get swept behind. Even the sunken scrolls add to this, not to mention the scroll about a fossilized human! ALL of these factors and more obviously contributed to Splatoon's success, despite the relative "failure" of the Wii U

I found a reason to buy the dlc

It is. AND I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY. Surprisingly, ALL of the game's various music serves various purposes - from keeping hype, generating hype, and slowing hype to mysteriousness and/or evil, villainous, the game would be ... Pretty boring, without music! (And the final boss ambience from Splatoon 1, after you defeat him ... So eerie...)

Same with splatoon 2, with inkoming!

Octo Expansion's music was mostly remixed songs correct? i might be misremembering

@@boneyzoney9551 it was entirely original songs, minus the two appearances of Ebb and Flow as well as the Splattack! remix.

@@boneyzoney9551 You're hardcore mis-remembering. The music for the stations are original pieces (save for the boss theme) and, there's new Off the Hook songs. (Excluding the Ebb and Flow remix used in the Final boss battle.) Also, there's a remix of Splattack, and a _slightly_ different version of Calamari Inkantation for the sanitized Agent 3 fights.

The plot is about spy stuff

I know I'm just under a year late, but just in case, I figured I'd go over the story since no one else has Humanity has gone extinct, wiped out by flooding induced by the melting of the ice caps via nuclear weapons, as well as rising the sea level to the point where there's a limited amount of remaining landmass. Sea life evolve to becoming dominant species and live on the abandoned landmass, eventually forming their own society. Some time later, as the sea levels continued to rise, war broke out between the most dominant species, the Inklings, the descendants of squids, and the Octarians/Octolings, the descendants of octopi. The Inklings won and got to keep the remaining land, while the Octarians were forced underground. A hundred years later, the ruler of the Octarians, King DJ Octavio, would steal the Great Zapfish, a giant catfish imbued with electricity that acts as the power source for Inkopolis, the largest city on the remaining land, as well as a bunch of smaller Zapfish, all in an effort to power their deteriorating homes and eventually leaving the underground to take over the surface using that power. In response, Captain Craig Cuttlefish, a hero of the GTW and former member of a special unit known as the Squidbeak Splatoon, would remake the Spaltoon and recruit us as Agent 3 - the first 2 agents being the Squid Sisters, AKA Callie and Marie, who are also the captain's granddaughters (as well as being cousins instead of sisters) - to get the Zapfishes back. After going through numerous base camps and destroying the Great Octoweapons, war machines from the GTW, we eventually defeat and informally arrest Octavio and return the Zapfish to Inkopolis, keeping Octavio trapped until a few years later. A couple years after the events of Splatoon 1, Splatoon 2 kicks off the same way, but a tad different. The Great Zapfish has been stolen again by Octavio, who managed to escape, but Callie has also been kidnapped, having been vulnerable after her and Marie stopped really performing together and taking solo careers. With Marie's help, we, Agent 4, foil Octavio's plans again, rescuing the Zapfish and Callie and destroying the Great Octoarmanents, Callie having mind controlled by Octavio moments before he's detained again. Splatoon 2's other story event is the Octo Expansion DLC, which introduced playable Octolings, including the story of one attempting to escape the underground through a metro station known as the Deep Sea Metro, with Captain Cuttlefish, who had gone to the area alongside Agent 3 on a trip abroad, helping out the Octoling, named Agent 8 by the captain, also referred to by the Metro's conductor, C. Q. Cumber, and a strange sentient telephone, as Subject 10,008. The new top idols of Inkopolis, Pearl and Marina, AKA Off The Hook, are also communicating with 8 to help them reach the surface. After going through grueling testing facilities within the Metro, during which we (Agent 8) fight the Sanitized, a synthetic Octarian army made from the DNA of the thousands of other subjects that had attempted to escape, and are led by the sentient telephone, who were tasked with finding the four parts of a blender, later used to harvest their DNA by completing the different testing facilities around the Metro, we also nearly get blended alongside Captain Cuttlefish, but Agent 3, who had been absent from everything leading up to this point, saves 8 and the captain, at the cost of their consciousness. Pearl and Marina help 8 make their way to the surface by escaping through another section of the metro dedicated to the Sanitization process, ultimately reaching the elevator to the surface, with Captain Cuttlefish being tied up and Agent 3 mind-controlled by the Sanitized ink. After defeating 3, we make it up to the surface, where Pearl and Marina have come to take us to Inkopolis via helicopter. However, the story doesn't end there. The telephone, who calls himself Commander Tartar, reveals he's an AI made shortly before humanity's extinction to aid the next sentient races, but has gone mad, having gotten tired of the squabbling between Inklings and Octarians over the years, instead having created the Sanitized as "perfect life forms" worthy of succeeding humanity, and aims a superweapon at Inkopolis, capable of destroying the city and everyone within. Tartar's plans are thwarted, the superweapon is destroyed, and the whole gang make their way to Inkopolis. That's everything up to now, now we just wait for Splatoon 3 to continue the main story of this series once it comes out next year

Hey, can't do literally and figuratively one of the most colorful games out there without color. That would be a disservice to the game!

As someone who IS rather clueless on musical notation, can confirm, the presentation really helps understand the theory. And of course the Inkling going "oh SHIT" and redoubling their efforts when the second movement comes in was amusing.

Kirby also does a larger-than-usual amount of re-use of old tunes, beyond just references embedded in larger pieces, and often without a significant change in context - it's not *nothing* to analyze, at but it's *different* and possibly *less*, when it's the fourth Butter Building (or whatever else) remix played in broadly similar situations.

I don't mean to be rude but did we listen to the same soundtracks? Can you give examples of what you mean?

@@qwertystop With the exception of stuff like specific character motifs like Dedede and Meta Knight's themes, most of the time when a song comes back it's only for bonus stages in a world. Most modern kirby music is composed fresh. I would have relented with regards to Star Allies, because instead of establishing the central musical motif for the game in its first stage it just reprises green greens, but then the climax of the game and the final stages of the final boss actually recontexualise THAT and turn it into foreshadowing for literally the game's biggest plot twist, so.

Well I mean, in terms of genre the origins/high points of some of them were either before or after the 90's. For example punk rock had its roots in the late 60s and 70s but really took off through the 80s

Nice mustache, Link!

Honestly with the whole themeing of the game. I get a more 90's/earliy 00's feel.

What about octo expansion music?
