Crab-N-Go denotes a series of songs that play when the player is close to the Crab-N-Go concession stand in Splatoon 3's lobby.
Description
The default Crab-N-Go theme is a simple song with a repetitive rhythm. Each version seems to mostly use synth instruments, and in-game, a filter is applied to each of the versions to make them sound as if they are played through a low-quality speaker.
In Splatune 3 and Nintendo Music, this song is included as part of the song Sinkopated.
Other versions
Crab-N-Go (Splatoween)
During the Splatoween Splatfests, Crab-N-Go (Splatoween) plays near the concession stand. This song is a more upbeat song that uses xylophone-esque sounds and more odd-sounding synth instruments, including one that appears like a theremin in the second section. After an upbeat first section, the second section focuses on a less intense synth instrument. Finally, a saxophone plays the main melody in the third part as laughter plays in the background before the song loops.
Crab-N-Go (FrostyFest)
During the FrostyFest Splatfests, Crab-N-Go (FrostyFest) plays near the concession stand. This song is overall more laid-back. Sleigh bells are used as percussion to suit the festive mood, and the synth plays a simple melody reminiscent of the default Crab-N-Go theme. Partway through, a choir takes over the main melody. At the end of the song, an organ and the sleighbells play largely in isolation before the song loops.
Crab-N-Go (SpringFest)
During the Baby Chicks vs. Li'l Bunnies vs. Bear Cubs Splatfest, Crab-N-Go (SpringFest) plays near the concession stand. This song is more bouncy and uses a lot of percussion, such as pop and spring noises, as well as a simple bass line, to evoke a jumpy and upbeat feeling. The main melody is played on a synth instrument and goes through a large pitch range. Near the song's loop, there is a sound akin to a string being pulled as the melody slows down, before speeding up again at the loop point.
Crab-N-Go (Summer Nights)
During the Palace vs. Theme Park vs. Beach Splatfest, Crab-N-Go (Summer Nights) plays near the concession stand. This song is laid-back song and uses a combination of brass and synth instruments as its lead, acoustic guitar for the backing, and steel drums as its percussion. It uses "cheering" noises in the background and evokes tropical feelings with its rhythms.
Crab-N-Go (Grand Festival)
During the Past vs. Present vs. Future Splatfest, Crab-N-Go (Grand Festival) plays near the concession stand. This song has a laid-back vibe with a steady beat, using largely synth instruments. Vocal samples play throughout the song. Partway through, a heavier emphasis on the bass lends an even more relaxed feeling as the vocal samples become more frequent.
