Alterna Citizen Program M-02: Advanced Course (Twilight Waves) is a song in Splatoon 3.

Description

Alterna Citizen Program M-02: Advanced Course (Twilight Waves) plays in the clean rooms in missions with silver kettles in Alterna. The song has many jazz elements, but the instruments do not consist of a typical jazz ensemble. It has a leading piano, a synth playing short chords, electric drumset, and a MIDI-sounding tuba.

Like the other songs that play in the clean rooms, this song loops unusually compared to most other in-game music due to its audio file containing two loops of the song that fade out completely before repeating. The music can thus be heard in-game fading out and restarting if the player waits in the clean room for about one minute and seventeen seconds.

In Splatoon 3, the song has a filter applied that makes it sound as if it is being played from within the clean room through a low-quality speaker. In Splatune 3, as well as in the Nintendo Music app, the song is present without any such filter.

Etymology

"オルタナ市民プログラム" ("Alterna Citizen Program") is a term used by O.R.C.A. during its introduction in the Japanese version of the game.[1]

"Advanced Course" refers to the missions having more challenging difficulty compared to missions with gold kettles. "Twilight Waves" refers to the missions being set in a sunset environment with an orange sky.
