These guys are the Chirpy Chips. With their sea anemone lead singer and a sparkling electronic sound, this unique four-piece has been setting the Inkopolis Top 40 on fire! Take a listen to their latest single, Shellfie, which is also the background music you’ll be hearing during battles now!

The Chirpy Chips (NA/EU/OC)[a], or ABXY (JP)[b], are a four-person chiptune-style band. Their songs were first added in Splatoon's August Update,[2] and two more were released as part of Splatoon 2's Version 3.0.0.

Songs

Main article: Music

Shellfie and Split & Splat can only be heard in Splatoon; Blitz It! and Wave Prism can only be heard in Splatoon 2.

Members

  • Vocals/synth: A relaxed sea anemone who goes her own way.[3] Similar to Annie, she has a bright color scheme and a small fish in her "hair". In the band's second album cover, she is shown making music using various Nintendo consoles. Her Japanese name is "パル子" (Paruko).
  • Guitar and chorus: An uncontrollable, brightly colored Inkling.[3] They have bright purple tentacles styled into large spikes and what appears to be four fangs instead of the typical three. Their Japanese name is "ノイジー" (Noijī).
  • Bass: A shy flapjack octopus who does things at their own pace.[3] Despite being an octopus, they bear little resemblance to Octarians and have not been connected to them. In both album covers, they wear a shirt referencing the album art of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, but with a squid-shaped prism. Their Japanese name is "ライアン" (Raian).
  • Drums: A crab who quietly watches over the others.[3] In the band's first album cover, their shirt design has what could be the Inkling version of ZR. Their Japanese name is "シカク" (Shikaku).

Trivia

  • The Chirpy Chips were the first band in Splatoon to have their name changed for localization. Their original Japanese name, ABXY, is likely a reference to the A, B, X, and Y buttons on the width=auto Wii U GamePad and other Nintendo controllers.
    • The text on their album art loosely resembles this name.
    • Additionally, the format of their Japanese name is likely a reference to the Japanese chiptune band YMCK, which has a similar style of music.
  • The Chirpy Chips Band Tee is a Chirpy Chips-themed piece of clothing, featuring a recolored version of their logo and a small pin with the face of their drummer.
  • The Heavy Splatling Remix appears to be a Chirpy Chips-themed weapon: it has a sticker on the side with their name in Inkling, its color scheme is similar to that of their album art, and "Remix" may be a reference to their electronic style. However, this connection is never addressed in-game.
  • The Chirpy Chips song Blitz It! was used as the background music for the Nintendo Direct preview for Splatoon 2's Version 3.0.0.
  • The band's second album cover features frontwoman Paruko mixing chiptunes using numerous Nintendo consoles...namely a Famicom, a Super Famicom Naizou TV SF1, two Game Boys (one greyscale, one color), an original model Game Boy Advance, a New Nintendo 3DS.
