Battle Defeat
Battle Defeat is a song.
Description
Battle Defeat refers to multiple music tracks across Splatoon and Splatoon 2, each playing after losing a match in any multiplayer mode. The song consists of two parts: the short defeat jingle that plays at the beginning as the results are declared, and the main part of the song that loops over the results screen. It is a gloomy theme, meant to convey the despair felt after the losing of a match, featuring prominent electronic sound effects and drum beats. Th jingle has a "burp" sound, quite similar to various Turquoise October songs. It can also be heard in Squid Beatz. However, in Splatune, the jingle is split into a separate track.
Remixes and covers
Ink Another Day
A cover by Wet Floor replaces the original in Splatoon 2. Unlike Battle Defeat, it can also be heard in Squid Beatz 2, with a maximum score of 27 and 27 in Normal and Hard modes, respectively, although it does not include the defeat jingle. It was also featured in the Inkoming! EP released by Tower Records.
Defeat - Jingle
Unlike the original, this version just plays the opening jingle, leaving the looping victory theme as a separate track in every instance, not just in Splatune. Compared to Splatoon 2's Victory jingle, which is near identical to the first game's, the Defeat jingle is a more extensive remix, eschewing the "burp" noises of the original.
