Trivia

 * There is a seperate player customization screen in Octo Expansion, having the playable Octolings floating naked in test tube with green liquid.
 * In Octo Expansion it is possible to choose Agent 3's appearance, having the same options as the player customization in.
 * In, when changing the player customization both Inklings would have the same skin tone and eye color as the recent Inkling the player had. If it's the first time picking a character, then the default Inklings would have the girl with the second lightest skin tone and orange eyes, and the boys would have the third lightest skin tone and blue eyes. Both of these are based on the main Inklings often featured in promos.
 * In, each Inklings and Octolings corresponds to the recent Inkling and Octoling the player had for each gender. The default Inklings and Octolings have both girls in the middle skin tone and orange eyes, while boys have third lightest skin tone and blue eyes. The hairstyles and looks are also based on the main Inklings and Octolings featured in promos. Before the Octo Expansion update, only one of the Inklings corresponded to the player's latest option, while the other assumed the default look.
