Description

Shooting Starfish is an electronic song with fast, short notes and a strong drum beat in the background. After a while, the vocals join in, occasionally pausing before continuing. Later on, the vocals transition into a more choppy rhythm. After this section, the vocals change back into a connected melody. If the vocals in this section of the song are reversed,Callie's vocals fromMaritime Memory can be heard, symbolizing her being brainwashed.

This song can be heard inSplatoon 2 in theOcto Canyon missionsOctozeppelin Invasion,Dancing Floors,Towering Heights, andPlatform Madhouse. It can also be played inSquid Beatz 2, with maximum scores of 127 and 313 in Normal and Hard modes, respectively.

Other versions

Shooting Starfish (Single-player trailer)

This early version of the song was first used in the official trailer forOcto Canyon. The very beginning of the song features notes gradually increasing as a transition fromOcto Eight-Step in the trailer. Some other changes are that there are a couple of extra repeating notes and the vocals are removed in certain areas. The song ends with a strong ending as four notes go from low to high slowly, followed by a loud echo.

Shooting Starfish (Kettle)

This is just a loop of the first six seconds, but muffled and echoey, making it sound like it is being played from a distance. It plays when the camera is near akettle containing a level with the main track.
