Splatoon references
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe introduces Splatoon characters and other references to the Mario Kart series. Both male and female Inklings are introduced as playable characters, with three different variants each. A new battle mode course is introduced named Urchin Underpass based on the original Urchin Underpass stage from Splatoon, as well as two Splatoon-themed ATVs, the Splat Buggy and the Inkstriker (heavily based on the Inkstrike). A new Inkling-themed amiibo costume unlocked by placing any Splatoon amiibo is also added.
The selectable costume variants for the Inklings are as follows:
Inkling Girl:
- Orange ink, orange eyes, light skin, Studio Headphones, White Tee and Pink Trainers.
- Green ink, pink eyes, pale skin, Studio Headphones, Black Tee and Black Trainers.
- Pink ink, cyan eyes, dark skin, Studio Headphones, Sky-Blue Squideye and Cyan Trainers.
Inkling Boy:
- Blue ink, blue eyes, light skin, Pilot Goggles, Zink Layered LS and Purple Hi-Horses.
- Purple ink, orange eyes, tan skin, Pilot Goggles, Choco Layered LS and Gold Hi-Horses.
