'''''Tentacular Circus''''' is a [[Music|song]] performed by [[Turquoise October]].

==Description==
''Tentacular Circus'', like many Turquoise October songs, is an electronic song, featuring many chiptune influences and unorthodox production. It appears to contain various unusual samples of vocals, whistles, bells and trumpets. It is heard in the [[Octo Valley (mode)|Octo Valley]] missions [[Gusher Gauntlet]], [[Inkrail Skyscape]], [[Tumbling Splatforms]], [[Pinwheel Power Plant]], and can also be heard in [[Arcade machine#Squid Beatz|Squid Beatz]].

It makes a return in ''[[Splatoon 2]]'', alongside ''[[Cephaloparade]]'' and ''[[Octoling Rendezvous]]'', and is heard in [[Octo Canyon (mode)|Octo Canyon]] missions [[The Octopark]] and [[The Octogalaxy]]. However, it is unavailable in [[Arcade machine#Splatoon 2|Squid Beatz 2]].

==Other versions==
===''Tentacular Circus'' (''Splatoon'' Single Player Trailer)===
''Tentacular Circus'' was first heard in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EXKQQmm9EE reveal trailer] for [[Octo Valley (mode)|Octo Valley]]. It starts playing about 37 seconds in, after a short [[Cephaloparade#Cephaloparade (Splatoon Single Player Trailer)|Cephaloparade]] remix. Unlike other versions, it has a proper ending, consisting of a modified version of the beginning.

===''Tentacular Circus'' ([[Kettle]])===
This version of the song is simply the beat played from 0:02 to 0:04, but muffled and echoey, making it sound like it is being played from a distance. It plays when the camera is near a kettle containing a level with the main track.

==Etymology==
''[[wiktionary:tentacular|Tentacular]]'' is an adjective simply describing things of or related to tentacles, but combined with the implications of ''circus'', could potentially be read as a portmanteau of 'tentacle' and 'spectacular'.
