Did you know that Sonic's sound director Tomoya Ohtani arranged Splatoon's Bomb Rush Blush for Smash Bros. Ultimate? Indeed he did, and Mr. Ohtani himself has shared a dev blog detailing the process. Here's the tidbits he discussed in his post.

- he was very happy to be given the opportunity to work on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
- Ohtani calls Smash Bros. Ultimate “the biggest festival of collaborations in the video game industry”
- Ohtani chose Bomb Rush Blush because he wanted to try something that younger players are familiar with
- Ohtani was considering remixing several Splatoon tracks into one song
- Ohtani was provided the voice audio for the song once his request to do the arrangement was approved
- Ohtani increased the pace of the song, while Sakurai did some small retouches after the song was more or less complete
- the arrangement had many elements and it took lots of hard work to complete them
