Trivia

  • The song ends with the same drum loop used in the Splatoon splash screen followed by the opening of Splattack!, similar to what is heard in the first trailer for Splatoon 3.
  • There are sounds of special weapons from Splatoon being activated in songs from Splatoon 2, despite none of the specials from Splatoon returning in Splatoon 2 (for example, an Echolocator is heard being activated in Riptide Rupture and a Kraken is heard being activated in Inkoming!).
  • Dedf1sh, Diss-Pair, and SashiMori are the only bands from Splatoon and Splatoon 2 that don't have any of their songs present in the Inkopolis Memorial Mixtape.

Etymology

This song is a mixtape of songs heard throughout Splatoon and Splatoon 2 (hence the "Memorial"), which are set in Inkopolis. "Memorial" may also have intentionally foreshadowed Splatoon 3 taking place in Splatsville, thus indicating a goodbye to Inkopolis; this is reinforced by Splatoon 3's first trailer utilizing the same sequence from Splattack! as the end of the tape.
