Seafoam Shanty ~Rough-Sea Rodeo~From Bottom
As the title suggests, it’s a high-energy track where a fierce, wave-crashing guitar rock sound is layered with a string riff.
Among the Splatoon 2 BGMs, it’s particularly fast-paced and spirited! It’s the kind of song you can keep listening to without ever getting bored.
Ultra Color PulseTentakuruzu
This is a song performed by Off the Hook, the idol duo appearing in Splatoon 2.
The laid-back electronic beats are really pleasant to the ear! It plays in the main square during in-game “Splatfest” events, where you can take your time and listen to it.
Tentacular CircusOCTOTOOL
An impressively stylish soundscape that feels like it splices elements from various tracks and recombines them.
This is the BGM for Splatoon’s single-player Adventure “Hero Mode.” Riding on a light rhythm, lively yet mysterious tones come at you from all directions.
The sound is so unique it sticks in your ears and mind! It’s a work by the in-game music unit OCTOTOOL.
While the protagonist’s side are Inklings, this music is crafted by their enemies, the Octarians—once you get hooked, you’ll never climb out of that trap!

Quick StartABXY
From the very start, it’s an energetic, exhilarating, and catchy number! It’s a track by the band ABXY—made up of Paruko, Noisy, Ryan, and Shikaku—featured in the original Splatoon.
It was added in the August 2015 update and quickly became a fan favorite! The bursting rock sound makes you want to jump around, and it’s impossible not to dance in your heart.
Your hands gripping the controller will be getting sweaty, too.
The bleepy, chiptune-like lead lines are super satisfying to hear! If you’re looking for game music that will hype you up, definitely give this a listen!
Ima Nura Never!Shiokarāzu
This is a super cool song that starts playing in the last minute of the match! It really makes you want to sing along! The title has a clever pun.
The artist is Squid Squad, but in Splatoon 2 the Tentacles version plays.
Tokimeki☆Bomb RushAori
This is a solo song by Callie from the Squid Sisters.
It’s a bright, poppy tune that lifts your spirits when you listen to it.
Although it’s a track from the original Splatoon, an arranged version is used as the final battle BGM in Hero Mode in Splatoon 2.
Rip EntryWet Floor
The guitar cutting feels great! This is the BGM that plays during matches in Splatoon 2.
The slap bass and bouncy rhythm really amp up the battle.
An EP has been released under the name Wet Floor, so be sure to check it out if you’re interested!
