Splattack! (Jam Session)
The Jam Session is a remix of Splattack! that plays during the Tutorial. However after completing the tutorial, it can no longer be heard anywhere in the game. It does not appear Squid Beatz but it does appear in Splatune.

Splattack! (Inkredible New Stages and Gear)
A remixed version of Splattack! played during the first half of the Inkredible New Stages and Gear trailer released on the 12th of November 2015, while announcing Museum d'Alfonsino. It features a classical style intro to suit the museum theme, before transitioning into a composition more like the original version. It is not used anywhere else other than the trailer. The song stops when the second half of the trailer begins, announcing Mahi-Mahi Resort and uses Shellfie. The backing soundtrack to the entire trailer without any SFX was released in the Splatoon Live in Makuhari album, which also includes the second half playing Shellfie.

Splattack! (New Stage Squid Dance)
Another Splattack! remix used exclusively in a trailer, this version played during the New Stage Squid Dance (Piranha Pit & Ancho-V Games) trailer. It features a very similar composition to the Jam Session version, but also has a lot of Inkling sound effects incorporated into the tune.

Splattack! (Octo)
Octo Expansion features the proper return of the Splattack! song in Splatoon 2, with a remix known as Splattack! (Octo). This is performed by Dedf1sh in-game, who has remixed the original from Squid Squad. It is played during Spinal Phase, where Agent 8 battles Agent 3. It's a glitched version of the regular song, with lots of short pauses and a sample from the intro of I Am Octavio can be heard.

Splattack! (E3 2014)
During the initial reveal trailer for Splatoon, an early version was used. It was rougher than the final version, with a louder emphasis on vocals, which had a slight echo and was re-recorded for the final cut. The intro (which was moved in the final version) appears to resemble opening a live performance with a "guitar ringing noise" features what appears to be a crowd chanting and a "ringing noise"

Splattack! (Single Player Trailer)
The early E3 version of Splattack! was once again used in the beginning of the Splatoon Single Player Trailer. The song is mostly the same, but a radio-esque filter has been added to emphasise the contrast between the multiplayer and single campaigns, and to signify the warfare-like theme of Octo Valley. A similiar effect is used on Sheldon's version of Lookin' Fresh.

Shooting range music
In the Shooting Range, a version of the Splattack! Jam Session plays. It is a looped version of the beginning of the Jam Session version. It does not appear in Squid Beatz or any Splatoon soundtrack.

Agent 3 Appears!
In Octo Expansion, when Agent 3 responds to Agent 8's CQ-80 distress signal activated by Marina, and jumps out of the roof to save Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish, the Jam Session version of Splattack! plays very briefly until Agent 3 gets knocked out. Known as Agent 3 appears, this version is mostly the same as the Jam Session version, but is only 16 seconds long. The version extracted from the game still has the sound effects of Agent 3 smashing the glass of the roof and the blender. This version does not appear in Octotune.

Inkoming! (Splatoon 2 Reveal Trailer)
The song Inkoming! by Wet Floor played during the initial reveal trailer of Splatoon 2 at the Nintendo Switch Presentation. During the end of the trailer, a series of notes that make up the melody of Splattack! can be heard. This part is not in any other version of Inkcoming!

Trivia

 * Splattack! is considered the theme tune of the first Splatoon game, with Splattack! being the song played during the reveal trailer for Splatoon. It's the first song on Squid Beatz, and among the first on Splatune. It has played in trailers more than any other song.
 * Splattack! can also be seen as the theme tune for Agent 3 in the Octo Expansion, as it often plays whenever Agent 3 is encountered. They can be seen as both representing the original ''Splatoon'.
 * In Splatune, Splattack! (Jam Session) fades out, unlike the file in the game, which cuts out abruptly.
 * What appears to be the band shouting Squid Squad! can be heard throughout the song, such as at the 5 second mark.
 * The Splattack! (Octo) remix resembles a corrupted version of the original, paralleling how Tartar has corrupted Agent 3's mind. It could also represent the corruption of Dedf1sh's from being sanitized, and losing her free will.
 * The song sampling DJ Octavio's I Am Octavio makes sense considering that Dedf1sh is an Octoling that served under Octavio.

Etymology
