Hero Mode - Onward! is a jingle.
Description
Hero Mode - Onward! is a very short jingle, lasting roughly five seconds, taking a lot of elements from Turquoise October songs. It is the signature five-note melody of the Octarians playing twice, the second time with a higher pitch. Shortly after, a radio static sound effect is heard on the iris-out shot of the Zapfish or a plush of it, although said sound effect is absent from the Splatune version. It is heard during the sequence that plays once the player finishes a mission in Octo Valley.
Remixes and covers
Story Mode: Onward! (Octo Canyon)
A remix of the jingle appears in Splatoon 2. Unlike the original, which has no artist given, the Splatune 2 booklet lists it as a Turquoise October song. Similar to the original, it plays after successfully completing a mission in Octo Canyon.
Mission Complete! (The Crater)
A remix of Hero Mode - Onward! plays in Splatoon 3's single-player campaign Return of the Mammalians after completing one of the four missions in the Crater. However, it is replaced by a different jingle in Alterna.
