Description
Fly Octo Fly is a manic and intense electronic pop song played during thefinal boss battle of theOcto Expansion. The track lasts almost exactly two minutes in-game and transitions intoEbb & Flow (Octo) for the final minute of the battle.
Following a short introduction,Marina andPearl trade verses of eight measures, with Marina singing on the bridge and Pearl rapping her second verse. After a second bridge with Pearl's rapped interjections and a final verse, the song modulates into G major for the intro toEbb & Flow (Octo). In-game, the two songs are included as one track by the name ofFly Octo Fly ~ Ebb & Flow (Octo). However, it is separated fromEbb & Flow (Octo) in theOctotune album.
Fly Octo Fly ~ Ebb & Flow (Octo) made its only appearance in multiplayer battles during the third and final day of theChaos vs. OrderSplatfest, where it was the only possible battle theme. The music played in full during the three minutes, including replacingNow or Never! in the process. Notably, the onlyShifty Station it could play on (MC.Princess Diaries) is within visible distance of theNILS Statue from theOcto Expansion.
InSplatoon 3, the song can be heard in thejukebox as ofversion 7.0.0 if theSplatoon 3: Expansion Pass has been downloaded.
