Splatune (Splatoon Original Soundtrack)



Splatune is the original soundtrack for Splatoon, released in Japan on 2015-10-21. It features two discs with 61 tracks total, consisting of 37 in-game tracks, ten jingle tracks, and fourteen sound effect tracks.

It was later accompanied by Splatoon Live in Makuhari, and received a full sequel in the form of Splatune 2.

Disc 2
Track 36 contains a hidden track: Wii U Menu Start Up (starts at 1:51).

Changes
Some songs contain slight changes in arrangement from the versions used in the game.
 * Splattack! (Jam Session) fades out, unlike the file in the game, which cuts out abruptly.
 * Inkopolis News has a different beginning jingle and ends properly.
 * Lookin' Fresh uses all four versions of the song, which use the same record scratch transition used when pressing the shoulder buttons in Booyah Base.
 * Visiting Inkopolis includes the jingle that plays whenever the train makes a stop in Inkopolis Plaza.
 * Plaza starts with the main speaker music before fading into the background to play the jingles that play from other speakers in Inkopolis Plaza and then fading back in before the song finally fades out.
 * All Hero Mode level music does not contain the percussion track that plays when an enemy spots the player. However, Inkstrike Shuffle and Octoling Rendezvous still retain any additional instrumentation that is added in these scenarios.
 * Inkstrike Shuffle loops differently.
 * Octoweaponry contains all three versions that coincide with the three phases of each boss.
 * I am Octavio contains all three variations on the song: the one that plays during the first phase, the one that plays on subsequent phases before the final one, and the music that plays when a missile is fired.

Lyrics
