[[File:OV credits stone render.png|right|thumb|180px|The credits stone of ''Splatoon'']]

The '''credits''' appear in all games in the {{Ss}}. They display the names of the staff who made the respective games.

==Credits==
===''Splatoon''===
{{see also|List of Splatoon staff}}

In {{S}}, the staff credits are automatically seen after a special segment of [[Inkopolis News]] following [[DJ Octavio]]'s defeat in the mission [[Enter the Octobot King!]]. They can be replayed at any time after by pressing {{button|A}} in front of the floating credits board that appears opposite [[Cuttlefish|Cap'n Cuttlefish]] in [[Octo Valley (location)|Octo Valley]].

During the credits, staff names and various pieces of art can be revealed by [[ink]] from an unseen [[shooter]], aimed with {{button|RS}} or {{button|LS}} and fired with {{button|ZR}}, or by using [[Burst Bomb]]s (that appear to be the regular multiplayer bombs instead of the special [[Agent 3 (Splatoon)|Agent 3]] version) with {{button|R}} that uses a different color ink. The ink changes color over time and some balloons can be popped and [[Squee-G]]s that clean ink. It ends with a copyright statement that is visible regardless of ink, followed by a thank-you message with feminine and masculine versions of Agent 3, one on each side. Pressing {{button|A}} will then end the credits. On subsequent viewings via the credits board, they can be ended at any time with {{button|B}}.

The [[Squid Sisters]]' song ''[[Maritime Memory]]'' plays during the credits.

===''Splatoon 2''===
{{see also|List of Splatoon 2 staff}}

In {{S2}}, the staff credits are also automatically seen after a special segment of [[Inkopolis News]] airs after defeating [[Octo Canyon (mode)|Octo Canyon]]'s final boss in the mission [[Bomb Rush Blush (mission)|Bomb Rush Blush]]. Off the Hook takes song requests after celebrating [[Callie]]'s return, and the [[Squid Sisters]]' new single ''[[Fresh Start]]'' is selected after being requested by someone called "Freshly Fried Boy". As such, ''Fresh Start'' plays in the credits. The credits can be viewed again at any time in [[Tentakeel Outpost]] by pressing {{button|A}} in front of a TV screen that [[Marie]] had [[Sheldon]] install so that [[Agent 4]] could listen to ''Fresh Start'' again. This screen is situated near the manhole leading back to [[Inkopolis Square]].

The credits function and control identically to the first game's, where the player can shoot ink to reveal staff names and art. The ink also gradually changes color over time, and the ink from [[Burst Bomb]]s is of a different color from other ink. The names of the developers are also stylized and contain various references. Just before ending, after all the names have been shown, there is a shot of feminine [[Agent 4]] with a pair of [[dualie]]s, followed by the closing art of Callie, Marie, and DJ Octavio sitting on top of a truck with [[Sheldon]] at the bottom. At this point, the colors of the fired ink and the Burst Bombs become pink and green respectively, which are the Squid Sisters' colors as well as the primary ink colors of ''Splatoon 2''.

====SplatNet 2====
{{see also|List of SplatNet 2 staff}}

The credits are found at the bottom of the Home page. [[SplatNet 2]] was developed by [[List of minor companies#Hatena|Hatena]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. Every staff member is listed in the credits alongside the icon of their favorite [[weapon]].

====''Octo Expansion''====
{{see also|List of Octo Expansion staff}}

{{S2}}{{'s}} DLC campaign, ''[[Octo Expansion]]'', features its own credits, which are seen immediately after defeating the final boss, [[Commander Tartar]], in [[Turf War (Octo Expansion)|Turf War]]. Unlike the previous staff credits, the player cannot shoot ink or interact with the credits. Instead, characters are seen watching the credits, which are projected from [[Agent 8]]'s [[CQ-80]], while they sit and stand on platforms held by a helicopter over the sea around [[Inkopolis]]. The sun rises in the background and each character moves slightly throughout the credits, such as Pearl and Marina talking to each other or Agent 8 looking over to the clearing sun after the clouds obscured it. The credits can be viewed again at [[Central Station]] by going over to the broken blender and having Agent 8 reminiscing about the event by choosing "Remember the light", which directly cuts to the credits. The other option, "Remember the fight", still shows the credits after the player defeats the final boss.

Off the Hook's song ''[[Into the Light]]'' plays during these credits.

=== ''Splatoon 3'' ===
{{see also|List of Splatoon 3 staff}}

In {{S3}}, the credits once again play automatically after a special news broadcast, being seen after the [[Anarchy Splatcast]] that plays after clearing [[Return of the Mammalians (mission)|Return of the Mammalians]]. [[Deep Cut]] decide to play the Squid Sisters' song ''[[Wave Goodbye]]'' after the return of the [[Great Zapfish]] (while also realizing that they are the true identities of Agents 1 and 2), and therefore this plays during these credits. The credits can be viewed again at Squid Sisters Camp on [[Future Utopia Island]] by inspecting the [[Mr. Grizz]] statue, which can also be used to replay the [[Alterna Space Center]] finale sequence.

Like in the previous games' main stories, the credits include a reticle for shooting multicolored ink, but this simply shoots it into space in the background behind the scrolling credits themselves, which can not otherwise be interacted with.

====SplatNet 3====
{{see also|List of SplatNet 3 staff}}

The credits are found in the Settings menu. [[SplatNet 3]] was developed by [[List of minor companies#Hatena|Hatena]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. Like in SplatNet 2, every staff member is listed in the credits alongside the icon of their favorite [[weapon]].

====''Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass''====
{{see also|List of Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass staff}}

The credits for the full ''[[Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass]]'' play in ''[[Side Order]]'' after clearing 30F of the [[Spire of Order]] for the first time. Like the ''Octo Expansion'' credits, these credits are not interactable and are displayed in the sky as [[Agent 8]], [[Off the Hook]], and [[Acht]] ascend in a glass elevator. During the credits, ''[[＃47 onward]]'' by Dedf1sh feat. Off the Hook plays, with the track name announced afterward in a special [[Anarchy Splatcast]] broadcast that states it was a request from "SplatsvilleRulz".

The credits can be viewed again in the [[foyer]] of the Spire of Order by inspecting a glass box to the right of the elevator containing a rainbow [[Killer Wail]] speaker, which can also be used to replay the final phase of the [[Overlorder|final boss]] battle and (as of [[Version 7.1.0 (Splatoon 3)|version 7.1.0]]) the first time in [[Inkopolis Square]].

==Trivia==
* Among the artwork featured in the credits for {{S2}} and the ''[[Octo Expansion]]'' is art of [[Hisashi Nogami]], the producer of the {{Ss}}, striking a pose that he assumed during the presentations that officially revealed the game and the DLC respectively. The former has him making a "2" for ''Splatoon 2'', and the latter resembles an "8" for the ''Octo Expansion''.
