Wave Goodbye is a song performed by Squid Sisters. It is played during the end credits of Splatoon 3's story mode: Return of the Mammalians.

Description

Wave Goodbye is an electronic J-pop song, featuring drawn out long vocals and a calm demeanor slowly building to a crescendo. The song begins with a slow tempo, but transitions into an upbeat style as it continues. Towards its middle section the song slows again, and the Squid Sisters pause singing as unknown deeper vocals briefly sing the lyrics to Calamari Inkantation. The Squid Sisters then accompany the other vocals in a canon style, mixing the lyrics from Wave Goodbye's chorus and Calamari Inkantation.

Wave Goodbye plays during the credit sequence while the player is free to shoot ink out into space where the final boss battle takes place. The ink will explode like the shot from a Blaster before fading into the abyss.
