Description
Anarchy Poisons is performed during the first half ofSplatfests inSplatoon 3. The members ofDeep Cut perform their own versions of the song on separateSplatfest Floats, which move in a loop aroundSplatsville. The different versions are based on different aspects ofAnarchy Rainbow. The different versions are synchronized, which can be noticed when the player moves between the floats. Up to two versions can be heard at once. In the second half of a Splatfest, their three floats combine to form one stage, where they performAnarchy Rainbow.
Bird Mix
Shiver performsAnarchy Poisons (Bird Mix), which is laid-back. Her use of theshima-uta singing style, as well as several instruments and synths, together resemble traditional Japanese folk music, notablyondo music. It uses Shiver's verse fromAnarchy Rainbow with a unique second verse afterwards. An instrumental part fills space where the chorus would be. The intro of this song is referenced inGo, Agent 3!, where the melody plays in a cutscene as Shiver offers forAgent 3 to rideMaster Mega.
Snake Mix
Frye performsAnarchy Poisons (Snake Mix), which is cheerful and upbeat. Her singing style, as well as several instruments and synths, resemble traditional Indian styles of music. It uses Frye's verse fromAnarchy Rainbow after a unique first verse. Similar toBird Mix, an instrumental part fills space where the chorus would be.
Boar Mix
Big Man performsAnarchy Poisons (Boar Mix), which is an upbeat dance song. Several instruments and synths together resemble Brazilian samba music. It uses the main samba beat ofAnarchy Rainbow, as well as the choir singing and trumpet that can be heard in the chorus.
