Remixes and covers

Inkopolis News (Off the Hook)

A remix was composed for Splatoon 2, and unlike the original, Off the Hook is credited as the performer. It is a very different composition from the original, with much more electronic production and Pearl and Marina briefly singing in the intro. A record scratch sound effect produced by Marina is played briefly when stages are introduced on the news. In the version of the song in Splatune 2, throughout the second half of the track, the same record scratch sound effects heard while stages are announced in Inkopolis News are heard. They are heard at roughly 0:50 and 1:04, with two being played at each of these points, imitating the two stages per mode.
