This is a sub-page of Proto:Splatoon 2/March 28, 2017.

Music#

Much of the soundtrack in the base game is pretty much finalized, except there are more than just a few differences.

All the songs from the first Splatoon game (besides the returning ones) are there as duplicates but the rest will not be included.

Mission02 Race.ogg	Tentacular Circus
Mission02 Race_LastCheckpoint.ogg	Tentacular Circus (Final Checkpoint)
Plaza00_a.ogg	The Plaza (Speakers A)
Plaza00_b.ogg	The Plaza (Speakers B)
Plaza00_d.ogg	The Plaza (Speakers C)
Plaza00_f.ogg	The Plaza (Speakers E)
Plaza00_g.ogg	The Plaza (Speakers F)

Removed Music#

Filename	Track	Notes
`BGM_coop_Main00`		Likely an early track for the Salmon Run Lobby screen, judging from the naming scheme that follows other Salmon Run related tracks (coop = Salmon Run).
`BGMCoopStanbyTest`		Same as above except for interludes, like the results screen.
`LP_Sample_MultiStrm`		Likely a test for multi-stream dynamic music. The file contains 6 tracks (3 stereo tracks) for piano, strings and percussion
`LP_Sample_MultiStrm2mix`		A 2-track stereo mix of LP_Sample_MultiStrm
`STRM_amano01`		A completely removed rock song that is likely placeholder audio. Filename likely refers to Yusuke Amano
`Plaza_n`		An 8-bit rendition of Chirpy Chips' song Shellfie, which was likely meant to be played outside of The Shoal. The final version uses a completely different song.
`STRM_Versus06`		A completely scrapped Multiplayer battle theme, featuring the vocals of Squid Squad, with Quinn as the lead vocal (in other songs like Ink or Sink and Metalopod). Prior to this full song being found, it was used briefly in the CoroCoro Emperor Gear trailer.

Changed Music#

Much of the songs are in a near-final state except with some interesting differences. The most notable is that the new vocal tracks by Off The Hook and the Squid Sisters have not yet been implemented as of that build.

Inkopolis Square#

Internal File	Track Name	Final	Notes
`STRM_PlayerMake`	Fest Zest	xxx	Placeholder vocals.
`Plaza00_c_VS`	Inkopolis Square Speakers (Tower)	xxx	Less echo. This is overwritten with the battle tower theme from the first game.
`Plaza_o_Arp`	Inkopolis Square Speakers A	xxx	Different volume and mixing.
`Plaza_q_Rob`	Inkopolis Square Speakers B	xxx	Shrimp Kicks' version of Lookin' Fresh, taken straight from Splatoon except with a radio filter applied than a unique rendition of the theme itself in the final.
`Plaza_r_coop`	Inkopolis Square Speakers C	xxx	Early audio is a filtered version of Happy Little Workers, than a unique arrangement.
`Plaze00_e`	Inkopolis Square Speakers J	xxx	Played with a guitar instrument than an off-key honkytonk-sounding one, lacks the breaks between the vocals also. According to the filename scheme, this is sandwiched in between the unused leftover Inkopolis Plaza themes (Plaza00_a-d and Plaza00_f-m)

Multiplayer#

The songs from the Testfire Demo are identical to this build and will not be covered here.

Internal File	Track Name	Early	Final	Notes
`STRM_Versus04`	Don't Slip		xxx	Less guitar chords, also the vocals are less focused, autotuned-sounding and have different lyrics. The synths near the end of the song are also unrefined.
`STRM_Versus05`	Endolphin Surge		xxx	Missing the male vocals at the beginning, except for the loop point which also sound different. The lead electric guitar would be removed in the final.

Salmon Run#

Internal File	Track Name	Final	Notes
`Coop_Env`	Salmon Run Opening	xxx	Slightly longer than the final and even more distorted-sounding.
`STRM_CoopMain`	Deluge Dirge	xxx	Uses a placeholder cello instrument instead of a live one, otherwise it's instrumentally the same.
`STRM_CoopEvent`	Fishing Frenzy	xxx	Also uses a placeholder cello instrument and lacks the additional timpani beats from 0:18.

Splatfest#

Internal File	Track Name	Final	Notes
`STRM_Plaza_Fes_Combined`	Inkopolis News (Splatfest, Off The Hook)	xxx	Different synth backing.
`STRM_Plaza_Fes`	Color Pulse	xxx	Almost the same as final except with missing synths at 1:16-1:20 and 1:31-1:36. Uses placeholder vocals from Wet Floor's vocalists and a choir voice instrument, also the backing chorus part before the last verse lacks the Color Pulse leitmotif.
`STRM_VersusFes01`	Ebb & Flow	xxx	Near identical to the final except for quieter synth instruments. Uses placeholder vocals from Wet Floor's vocalists and a choir voice instrument.
`STRM_VersusFes02`	Acid Hues	xxx	Different synth backing, sounds more barebones overall. Uses placeholder vocals from Wet Floor's vocalists and a choir voice instrument.
`STRM_VersusFes03`	Muck Warfare	xxx	Near identical to the final except for different mixing. Uses placeholder vocals from choir voice instruments.

Octo Canyon#

This page or section needs more audio.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough audio. Please fix this.
Specifically: Extract the original songs (without enemy spotted percussion) as well, for more in-depth comparison.

Internal File	Track Name	Final	Notes
`STRM_Mission01_Blitz_Bossa`	The Girl from Inkopolis	xxx	Different mixing.
`STRM_Mission04_Blitz_Spacy`	Shooting Starfish	xxx	Slightly different mixing. Louder vocal samples at 0:27 and 1:16.
`STRM LastBoss1`	Bomb Rush Blush (DJ Octavio feat. Callie)	xxx	Different mixing.
`STRM LastBoss2`	Tidal Rush	xxx	Different mixing.
`STRM_Shiokara2017`	Spicy Calamari Inkantation	xxx	Instrumentally the same, though it lacks the build-up at the beginning. Also, it reuses vocals from Calamari Inkantation.

Strangely, the internal names for the Inkopolis Square themes come after the Inkopolis Plaza themes.
