No Quarters is a song by Chirpy Chips. It was revealed in the Chill Season 2023 trailer, which also served as a music video for the song. Harmony's vocals can be heard throughout the song and can be seen wearing her ordinary gear in specific parts of the trailer for Chill Season 2023. Sid's drums can also be heard in the song with a Chiptune backing track playing as well
Other versions
No Quarters (Live)
The live version of No Quarters performed during Bankalive Gou at Nintendo Live 2024 is similar to the in-game version but has a slightly lengthened opening. The song ends with an outro similar to that in the Chill Season 2023 trailer, though the tempo starts being increased half way through to prepare for the transition to Aquasonic.
