Above the Grizzco Industries building are two posters parodying the real life musicals The Phantom of the Opera and Wicked. The Shoal also has a sticker resembling Mastercard. The Shoal and the Crust Bucket both feature stickers that resemble the real life American Express and Visa symbols. This signifies Callie being mind-controlled by the Octarians, and collaborating with Turquoise October under DJ Octavio's control. You can hear Maritime Memory in Shooting Starfish, City of Color in Octo Eight-Step, Ink Me Up in The Girl from Inkopolis, and their version of Now or Never! in Buoyant Boogie. In every Octo Canyon music track that plays in normal levels (aside from returning ones), if you play it backwards, Callie can be heard singing one of the Squid Sisters' songs. However, moving the camera shows the phone screen is blank. This appears to be a reference to how Inkopolis Tower could be seen in the background of various stages and Octo Valley.īy going to Murch in Inkopolis Square, the player can hear sound effects of Squid Jump coming from his phone - a minigame from the first game. In the back right part of Inkopolis Square, past the Crust Bucket, one can see Inkopolis Tower from the first game.

Using a Splashdown with the right timing is one way to perform this task. This mirrors the Easter egg in the first game. Splatting all three moving Squid Bumpers at the same time in the left part of the room will cause the player to say a celebration phrase, much like they would if they were to splat an opponent or signal. There are also a pair of Purple Sea Slugs and a hat on the right side of the wall. This could possibly reference the Splat Roller seen in the first game's Shooting Range. In the new Shooting Range, there is a windowed room that contains two unexploded Suction Bombs, a Splat Bomb with no ink filled, a disassembled E-liter 3K (which is not otherwise available in the game) and a Splat Roller with the first game's design. In Splatoon 2, it is printed on DJ Real Sole’s New You and Turquoise October’s album. In Splatoon, it is printed on DJ Lee Fish’s album and Squid Sisters album. The albums of multiple artists have a black & white logo usually located on the bottom left corner, which resembles and may be the in-universe Parental Advisory Label.
