Marina rescued cutscene

After completing the first boss fight against Marina Agitando on the first climb in the Spire of Order, the Spectrum Obligato motif plays as Agent 8 catches Marina in slow motion.

Side Order floor cleared jingle

The recurring melody of Spectrum Obligato is reharmonized as the jingle that plays after clearing a floor during a normal run in Splatoon 3: Side Order. It also intensifies after beating the first and second bosses.

Etymology

Spectrum refers to the theme of color in Side Order and the series as a whole. In classical music, obligato indicates an essential part of a composition that must be played as written (the opposite of which is improvisation). This could refer to the motif heard throughout the game being highlighted in the track, or the obligatory inclusion of Ebb & Flow in the game's finale.
