Spyke (Japanese: ダウニー daunii) is a character found in the back alley of Inkopolis Plaza.
Description
Spyke is a sea urchin. He wears a poncho, multi-colored bracelets, and clogs. He sits on rug that looks similar to his poncho.
When players first visit to him after reaching level 4, it enables them to order gear that other Inklings are wearing from the plaza. Players can order up to three peices of gear at a time, but are only able to buy one each day. If a player orders more then 3 peices of gear another order will have to be cancled to make room for it, and the new item will appear at the back of the queue.
Spyke's prices for gear are quite a bit higher than in the store. If the gear is not bought during the day its available, Spyke will get rid of it. Spyke will not trash gear in your queue in the days you don't play the game.
Spyke has the chance to get the same abilities as the original wearer on the clothing you ordered. This chance goes up with level, and the more abilities that the item has, the more expensive it is. Even with no additional abilities, the item is a little bit pricier than it is than if you find it in the shop.
Once you reach level 20 online, Spyke offers an additional service: In exchange for Super Sea Snails (or for 30,000 coins per), he'll tweak the abilities on one of your pieces of gear. If the gear in question has fewer than four abilities, an additional slot is added, which must then be unlocked through multiplayer. If the gear in question already has four total abilities, he can re-roll those abilities.
