24 SIDE ORDER EASTER EGGS YOU MISSED! | Splatoon 3

[@NIMPOP]

WHAT OTHER EASTER EGGS DID YOU FIND WHILE PLAYING? Edit: For #17, There is actually some additional character icons behind the elevator entrance which I missed before uploading.

[@Theonewhomknocks]

Whenever you beat a floor(not boss floors) you hear the little jingle that plays in the beginning of the final boss song(Spectrum Obligato)

[@Dragonofthefrozeneclipse]

Not sure this would be considered an easter egg (as this one is heavily argued either with or against) but if you look at Acht's eye thats revealed during the greyscaling cutscene and later on in Acht's entries, the eyes looks very similar to that of Octo pearl from the art books. Another fact that kinda also backs up about Acht being a possible redo of Octo pearl is how similar some of Acht's backstory points are when compared to Splatoon 2's artbook's info on Octo pearl. Before anyone starts raising pitchforks, this is just something I interpret it as.

[@Richyrion]

In the Spire Foyer before going in the elevator, the lights that border the ground and water will change color depending on your most used color chips from your last run. I didn't even notice this until Pearl's dialogue pointed it out.

[@tora9567]

I’m not Italian but I’m pretty sure for #12 they’re all Italian and music terms

[@abigailbullington9855]

each of the jelletons have music terms in their name, for example, the marching ANDANTE

[@funnylittletree]

i noticed whenever you get Pearls Dualies and she wonders about where she got them she says "Your guess is as good as mine." which i believe is a subtle nod to when you saw a mem cake in Octo Expansion that you didn't have and said this line

[@funnylittletree]

update: it is!

[@virgilepiaux150]

The Jelletons are actually named after musical terms! This leads to a layered pun with Parallel Canon, as "canon" both means a repeating melody (the boss being a group of Inkling like Jelletons) and a set of works that form a continuity (a "parallel canon" where Team Order won)

[@suddenlyacat]

i feel like the parallel canon is a different canon where you’re an inkling fighting against 8. there’s even elevators

[@sillymako3]

@@suddenlyacatohhh and your going against order, which is ironic since agent 8 is actually fighting for chaos and agent 4 and the other inklings are fighting chaos lol

[@mochifox6675]

2:40 Also, gelatin is usually made from bones, so it is cool how the enemies are, well, bones in gelatin.

[@iridophorium]

Also, skeleton! The -elleton/-eleton ending. But maybe you already knew that...

[@spring.on.neptune]

does that mean that if you “cook” the jelletons and leave only the protein, they will turn into jelly? 🤔

[@GuynamedJaylen]

so they're made of bones, contain bones, and have the name of bones

[@Aelitagurl]

[@N20ver]

pearlina has to be confirmed by now

[@TheLegoKid2003]

Yeah, at this point, we're all waiting for the Pearlina wedding announcement.

[@GroguGamingYT123]

I can see that as Splatoon 2 dialogue

[@0cht]

2:57 The enemie names are actually based off musical terms, for example “andante” means moderately slow in Italian, the original language of music terms. I think this naming scheme is a nod to Off The Hooks musical specialty.

[@HYAxSYNTH]

This is actually a good pun because the marching andante move moderately slowly

[@LeekSan]

Not only is parallel canon an exact replica of your agent 4 from your Splatoon 2 save, Eight is also the same octoling from your octo expansion save! If you have data from octo expansion, during customization in side order Eight already has their appearance from OE taken from your Splatoon 2 data (I noticed that when I started side order and before I touched anything Eight was a pale male octoling with purple eyes, just like how I had them in octo expansion)

[@Shadowking1010]

Ooooo I didn't even know it could use the OE octoling, then again I dont have OE sadly

[@arogustus3984]

4:28 Actually, the reason she says that is likely cause the vending machine is the exact same model as those found in Inkopolis Plaza. It has the Express logo on it.

[@Thatgirljesi11yeah]

And it was from the octo expansion to

[@T.Kenzaki]

Oh I thought its the same one as in animal crossing since both games come from the same dev team :0

[@lucywoomy]

Yeah it can be found all over the plaza. Also the rug underneath is Spike’s

[@sundaydan1119]

For fact 12, the latin is actually mostly music terms! For example - Marching Andante has Andante which indicates a walking tempo, and Whirling Accelerando has accelerando which means speed up in music

[@always.searching345]

When I saw it, I honestly thought their use of the terms were pretty cliche. "Marching walking tempo" 😭

[@Crisp1Chip]

1:06 they're actually always reactive! Before you clear the spire, the effects are still reactive, just in a different pattern since its a different song. In fact, there's effects outside the spire that are also react to the music!

[@lxbotomized]

side order was just yuri with a side of plot 🪿

[@laihvn3753]

this describes it perfectly 😭😭😭

[@ElToland]

- When you fight Overlorder the first time, once you collect all the color chips, you can defeat it on your own without using Pearl's Color Wail (your main weapon is really OP at this point), it takes some time to defeat it and even Pearl will react to this. - Acht mentions that they escaped Kamabo Co. after hearing a voice while still trapped below. After the first completion of the Spire, in a conversation inside the elevator they'll ask Pearl if she was in the Deepsea metro and she'll respond that she defeated Tartar with her "Princess Cannon". Acht then confirms that this was the voice they heard back then, implying that Pearl also saved them that day. - Another interesting conversation inside the elevator implies that Pearl is incredibly good at playing rhythm videogames. Acht tells Marina that her musical videogame was too hard because the music plays at 888 bpm and it's impossible to hit every note without failing, so she would make it easier. Marina tells them that instead she wanted to increase the difficulty because Pearl was able to beat the game without missing a single note, saying it was too easy. Skill issue, Acht 😂

[@ThePuff18]

I can fact check that first one, I did it for the first 3 or 4 runs before I realized…

[@Dav-star-SS]

4:31 this is not a reference to Octo expansion's vending machine, it is a reference to the fact that the vending machine is an Express branded vending machine, that you can see in certain maps, and is also the company that made the big swig Express.

[@SSukram_]

You can also find them in inkopolis plaza

[@Feelingbruv]

The floor lights in the foyer will change color to match the type of color chip you had the most of in your previous run! Pearl even mentions this, saying that Marina told her this info. For example, if most of your chips were Mobility, the lights would be blue the next time you enter the foyer!

[@applechoco483]

There's also a faint pattern in the water that changes to match your second-most-common chip!

[@Crisp1Chip]

Some music easter eggs not mentioned: • #0.1 style and #12.2 awakened are remixed versions Dedf1sh songs, specifically #0 shell and #12 awake. • The Onward! Leitmotif can be heard in every boss song (other than Overlorder). • In the post game foyer, the giant shape spinning in the middle when the foyer goes dark actually has audio attached to it, if you manage to get into it, it will play the leitmotif for short order. • If you stitch the audio clips for Asynchronous Rondo together, you can make it sing Ebb and Flow. This can also be done with Pinging Marciale which would make it sing Fly Octo Fly. • The high note Marina pulls in Spectrum Obligato is near identical to the one she did during a concert when performing Ebb and Flow.

[@aperson37]

Edit, you already mentioned this I don't know the song was called Spectrum Obligoto my mistake: Ebb and Flow is also remixed during final boss fight. It's pretty obvious so don't know if it's an Easter egg but it wasn't mentioned in the video.

[@Garret1002]

Yo u missed one! If u go afk long enough in a specific spot in the square pearl will transform into her inkling form and sit on the overhang above the door to Deca tower and wait for you to come back.

[@spacefairy123]

Do you have a proof of this ？

[@Garret1002]

@@spacefairy123 Posted a vid on my channel (tried to reply with a link to it but I think KZbin is hiding my comment).

[@Alky64]

Ive seen it in game

[@MoRiSeR_]

The stat screen rotating thingy is the only thing I didn’t know. And I guess that the corner pillars had icons for octolings and octarians. I also found out that there is an extra melody that plays in the foyer when you somehow fly through one of those orb light thingies in the center of the foyer that appears at some parts of the music. Most people probably don’t know that because why the hell would you try that. Also the Pinging Marciale and the Asynchronous Rondo both sing a slowed down and distorted version of Ebb & Flow. And all 3 bosses are named after musical terms wich are present in their themes.

[@moonveildaisy]

4:35 Also would like to mention that the vending machine is the exact same as the ones in Inkopolis Plaza which is what the dialogue could possibly be referencing

[@TFI3X]

1:36 That’s why the Jelletons stop spawning. They’re so sick of Off The Hook’s unskippable news that they just say “Hell naw”💀💀💀

[@Mynameis-hq4fh]

Another cool detail is that your ink color and pattern are determined by how much of a certain color chip you have for example if you have a lot of red then your unk cilor will be red. If the second most saturated color chip is purple then you will have the purple pattern in the ink.

[@Mouse341]

Another little Easter egg! If you stand idle long enough Pearl will either fall asleep or turn back into her regular self perched up somewhere sitting and kicking her feet :D!

[@sugar.coated.030]

Something I noticed as a Clarinetist, the suffixes are all actually from things in music! The most obvious for me was the Swarming Arpeggio

[@HIMB13]

2:59 andante is used for something that is in constant movement.

[@rainbowcraftz]

Random one but marinas umbrella palettes most common tone is literally the pearl drone chips T_T they are so gay

[@AquaticArtist2011]

It's crazy how you can make the ebb and flow theme with the color chips.

[@vibecatwastaken]

some additional things i noticed: #12: as an Italian, and a musician, all the secondary words for the enemies are based off of musical terms! you can go onto inkipedia and see what they mean. also, the minibosses' songs feature styles of music from their names! also, it's pronounced "ahn dawn te" not "ane dan te" :)

[@Bee_814]

I find it hard to believe that the inkling in parallel canon is supposed to match your agent four because I never used the short hairstyle yet it’s still what hairstyle it has

[@NIMPOP]

If you don't have an agent 4 inkling in Splatoon 2 I believe it defaults to the short hairstyle, I've seen other people show that the inkling they got had the same hairstyle as their agent 4.

[@Bee_814]

@@NIMPOP it might have been because I archived 2 because I do have an inkling I’m going to have to check that out by redownloading it and re-doing the first climb after marina 🥲

[@jackiegerlach]

As far as I know it only happens when you take over your splatoon 2 save file to splatoon 3 when you first launch splatoon 3

[@RapidProbably]

I used the default cut anyways so I am of no help

[@ddnava96]

@@NIMPOP My Splatoon 2 save has had a playable octoling ever since I finished Octo Expansion. However, Splatoon 2 actually saves your customization options per species and gender, even when they're not being used (Unlike Se which just defaults everything when you want to edit your character). Side Order actually read through that and used my old S2 inkling with the one twisty long tentacle on the side

[@BFDI_tomato]

Fun fact:Your ink color depends on what chips you have for example if you have more drone chips your color will be cyan/light blue

[@burnedchicken1]

1:41 OMG I WAS SEARCHING FOR THIS THIS WHOLE DAY AND I FINALLY FOUND IT THANKSSS

[@koiyune]

2:58 also! Marina's boss name "Marina Agitando" is Portuguese for "Shaking Marina"

[@Glaceous]

Fun fact: After you beat 30F for the first time and the foyer has the music and lights, you can go to one of those pillars with the little speed pad (I forgot the name) and when lights turn off into the foyer, glide to the floating object into the middle. Once inside it, you’ll hear music like Ebb & Flow!

[@lim.6535]

2:50 the names of each enemy are common terms for music with Andante being a specific tempo or speed at which a song is read and played.

[@PokeGirlOFFICIAL]

The vending machine is actually a callback to splatoon 1 and 3, as that exact vending machine was in both hub worlds/cities

[@Makkkss]

Btw the vending machine is the exact same one from the splatoon 1 hub which im pretty sure she was referencing

[@MasterMemo]

Marina loving Pearl isn't an Easter Egg, it's canon as far as i'm concerned

[@brendonfanggg]

you forgot to mention that marina has a different laptop cuz in the octo expansion she has a laptop resembling a macbook but in side order it’s a different laptop

[@thatonestrangechip5737]

Italian here! The jelletons' names are italian words used in musical context to specify the "tempo" of a song and the way it should be played by the orchestra. The first compositors to use such words were italian so even after it became a popular thing all over the world, those words never got translated. Looking deeper into it those words all have their own "personalities" that also match with the jelletons! I saw a youtube video going further into the meaning and "personalities" of the words if anyone is interested.

[@Kykai3212]

Did you forget that The UI on Marina's PC When she develops Pearl drone, It shows a bare resemblance to Unity.

[@KheL143]

2:50 also they're classical musical terms like the accelerando means to gradually speed up tempo

[@notlaodefinitely5435]

Fun Fact: Marina's headgear (when she got brainwashed by order), if you look at the sides, you will find the halves of the VirtualBoy controller. Funny given the contex

[@lucywoomy]

Btw in the names of the enemies like Marching Andante, the second word is always (iirc) a word used in music sheets to describe the rhythm or something about the music

[@corey5613]

3:12 if you don’t have any data for splatoon 2, parallel canon uses the default female short cut.

[@iamsuperspider9465]

Another thing at 3:40 Marina's headset (and subsequently the Controller VM headgear) is actually a reference to Nintendo's Virtual Boy. The controllers can be seen attached to the sides of the head.

[@Cynner009]

This entire DLC was just a love letter to Splatoon 2 fans. Also Bigmans favorite weapon is the Slosher... How does he hold it? ???

[@AquasPetSpider]

The name of the Jelletons in Side Order are musical terms, such as Andante which means "to play slow" A lot of the names are characteristics to their behavior

[@QueenSharotto]

4:08 that’s cute I love it 😂

[@Pigeonspiral_]

4:34 may be referring to the octo expansion DLC, or the dialog could be referring to the fact that you've had more than one run. Pearl may be making a pun about how many times your had a run on the spire, acting as if she'd never seen the vending machine corner before. just a guess.

[@Kobebean823]

Sorry if I missed it but whenever you go and fight smollusk after you beat him once, each time you go back his name changes depending on what number fight this is. It took me till fight three to see it but it’s such a fun and cute detail!

[@Yourownsolaris]

The jelletons are actually based off of musical terms! For example, the marching andante’s Andante, means to go at normal speed, when playing a piano or other instrument.

[@Jinbustu]

4:07 I’m glad Nintendo realized how players would do this possibly expecting nothing 💀

[@juliansiles5410]

2:57 andante means walking person👍

[@L.oser.z]

3:58 instead of an enemy octoling, I’m pretty sure it’s past marina as a enemy. I can tell because she had short curly tentacles unlike the other enemy octolings. 4:00 and for here it’s probably the octo shot, because the splattershot and octo shot look completely different. Even though the splatoon 1 splattershot look a bit similar. a lil edit also if you look a bit around the pillars you can also see a flooder, marinas enemy invention.

[@EliteOcto]

1:09 They always reacted to the beat of music, just became more obvious as you progress.

[@PaganiPL]

1:06 #5 kinda lies. Every element of light in Foyer corresponds to cetrain effect in music, ALWAYS. That's why music sounds diffrent depending how far are you from a light. Completing Spire of Order only changes a music to more funky one.

[@Bobataeislife]

I saw that if you are able to beat the tower and go to the weapons menu you can actually see Order talk about the Idol depending on what weapon you cleared it with. (Also nice video man! 😃)

The lights still react to the music before completing the tower for the first time. It's just slightly different with less lights
