amiibo

From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki

Template:InfoboxGame

For the amiibo brand of gear in Splatoon, see amiibo (brand).

amiibo are figurines produced by Nintendo that are equipped with Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology and can be used in a variety of Nintendo Switch, Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games, including Splatoon and Splatoon 2.[1]

In Splatoon

On 1 April 2015, Nintendo announced in a Nintendo Direct that Splatoon would be receiving three different amiibo on 29 May 2015. These amiibo, when scanned in Inkopolis Plaza, unlock twenty different challenges with five unlockable boss challenges in Octo Valley and new exclusive gear to wear into battle. The three amiibo that were announced were the Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy, and Inkling Squid, with the Squid only available as part of the three-pack in North America, and in Europe exclusively in a Splatoon + Inkling Squid amiibo bundle.

Over a year later, a second wave of figures was announced, including the Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie, and recolored versions of the three amiibo from the previous wave.

Gameplay

The amiibo case is located at the southeastern corner of Inkopolis Plaza and it appears as the packaging that amiibo traditionally come in. When scanning an amiibo (if the amiibo is registered) a flurry of ink circles the inside as the corresponding amiibo forms inside of it. The character introduces themselves and lays down guidelines for their challenges.

Each Wave 1 amiibo features twenty challenges if the single-player mode, Octo Valley, has been completed. The first challenge gives the player 600 cash as a reward, with the reward increasing by 100 for each challenge cleared. Each challenge can be completed again, though for only a reward of 100 cash. When three challenges in the same row are completed, the fourth challenge for that set is unlocked, being the boss for its corresponding area in Octo Valley. As opposed to a monetary reward, the boss challenges provide an exclusive piece of gear for the first three bosses, a minigame for the fourth, and a weapon blueprint for the final boss.

The Squid Sisters amiibo allow the user to view concerts in the Plaza, similar to a Splatfest. The three reskinned amiibo have the same behavior as their original counterparts. The challenge trees are shared between the original and reskinned amiibo.

Inkling Girl

Dude! Lemme tell you I am SO glad you called me! I'm pickin' up a fresh vibe from you. Tell me...are you a fan of charger weapons? Cuz that's my kinda thing—making up challenges where you gotta use chargers! Are you game? Come to think of it...you've been pokin' around down in Octo Valley, yeah? Yup, I saw you in that rad outfit, fighting those...things. It looked super fun! But you know what would be even radder? If you used a charger weapon! That's my challenge to you. Clear missions with a charger, and I'll hook ya up!

School Gear and Hero Charger Replica

The Inkling Girl amiibo was released on 29 May 2015 alongside Splatoon. It can be used to unlock twenty Charger challenges in Octo Valley and rewards the player with an exclusive costume piece for every four challenges completed. After completing all challenges, the player completes the set and receives the exclusive School Gear along with the Squidball minigame and the Hero Charger Replica blueprints. It can be purchased individually or in a pack of three with the Inkling Boy and Inkling Squid amiibo in North America.

The original Inkling Girl amiibo is a light-skinned (the third from the left skin tone in Splatoon 2) Inkling with orange tentacles and orange eyes. She wears the Fake Contacts, White Tee, and Pink Trainers and carries the Splattershot. She appears to be based on the female Inkling most commonly used to advertise the game, such as on the front cover and for commercials, along with the default girl Inkling.

Recolor

A recolored version of the Inkling Girl amiibo was released on 8 July 2016. Its functionality is identical to the original, but the character's in-game appearance matches the new model. The recolored Inkling Girl's skin color remains unchanged, but her tentacles are lime green and her eyes are magenta. She wears the Fake Contacts, the Black Tee, and the Black Trainers and carries the Tentatek Splattershot.

In limited ink challenges, the player is given three or four full Ink Tanks to complete the level, but ink cannot be replenished. The challenges are as follows:

Squid Sisters

Promo image of the Squid Sisters amiibo

Amiibo figurines of Callie and Marie were released on 8 July 2016. They can be used to unlock exclusive in-game Squid Sisters concerts, including two exclusive solo songs; one for each sister. Using either of the Squid Sisters causes the Plaza to take on its appearance during a Splatfest, and the player becomes colored after, and wearing a Splatfest Tee for, whichever Squid Sister was used. During the concert, no buildings can be entered, nor can Judd be talked to.

The Squid Sisters can perform the following songs, each with its own dance routine:

Splatoon 2 amiibo

The Inkling Boy 2 Inkling Boy (Splatoon 2), Inkling Girl 2 Inkling Girl (Splatoon 2) and Inkling Squid 2 Inkling Squid (Splatoon 2) amiibo can be used in Splatoon, which will identify them as their original counterparts (and will appear with the original iteration's color rather than the color of the amiibo).

The Pearl Pearl, Marina Marina, Octoling Boy Octoling Boy, Octoling Girl Octoling Girl and Octoling Octopus Octoling Octopus amiibo are not identified by Splatoon, and are treated like non-Splatoon amiibo.

Other amiibo

The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Inkling amiibo can be used in Splatoon, which identifies it as the original series Inkling Girl Inkling Girl (Splatoon) amiibo.

In Splatoon 2

amiibo in Splatoon 2 can save full equipment sets for quick selection in matches. The player’s control settings (motion controls and sensitivity settings) are saved as well. They can also be used as in-game friends and players can take pictures with them. When taking pictures with the various Inkling Girl and Boy amiibo, the player can choose if they will wear their original outfit or the gear saved to the amiibo. Upon registering the amiibo, it will ask to befriend the player, who will receive the first gift from the amiibo - a piece of Headgear. Ten victories are needed to unlock the next reward. Saving to the amiibo in the gear selection screen grants the player all the rewards and the ability to immediately switch to the gear and weapon they had equipped while saving.

Inkling Girl (Splatoon 2)

After battling a certain amount, the player can earn rewards from the amiibo which are received in the following order:

They were released on 13 July 2018[3] sold in a two-pack for $24.99 in the US.[4]

Each amiibo unlocks a theme for Squid Beatz 2 which changes the visuals of the game, as well as the sound effects played when entering the button prompts in the game.

When taking photos with Pearl and Marina, the player can choose if they will be dressed in their normal or Octo Expansion outfits. If the amiibo were used during a Splatfest, the player was able to take a photo on-stage with Off the Hook.

If the Octo Expansion outfits are selected, Pearl and Marina have poses themed after their roles in the story, such as Marina posing with her laptop that was seen in the fight against Commander Tartar and the NILS Statue, or Pearl posing with the microphone she used prior to the same fight, when she rapped with Cap'n Cuttlefish.

She wears the Agent 8 outfit from the Octo Expansion along with the unique backpack-like ink tank, and poses with an E-liter 4K.

Inside, the player can ask the villager to move into their town, as well as order furniture using MEOW coupons.

In the Western version of Nintendo Presents: New Style Boutique 2 - Fashion Forward (released in North America as Style Savvy: Fashion Forward), players are able to scan the Inkling Girl amiibo to unlock a pair of leggings inspired by Splatoon.[11] After the amiibo is scanned, a customer will show up at the player's store asking for a new outfit that goes with their Inky Leggings. If the player encourages the customer to try on their outfit (as opposed to just taking a look) and it is to their liking, then a pair of the leggings will be given to the player as a reward.

File:Squid amiibo humanoid.png
File:Splatoon callie marie Super Mario Maker.png

Splatoon amiibo grant the player with a costume resembling the scanned character.[13] The Inkling Squid can assume humanoid form and is revealed to be a dark-skinned male with a Splat Roller, the Studio Headphones, the White Layered LS, and what appears to be the Cream Basics. The Callie and Marie costumes can alternatively be unlocked by playing a certain Event Course. When playing in an underwater level, all the amiibo costumes swim in squid form.

When playing as an Inkling boy or girl, the victory music changes to the 'level complete' song from Octo Valley, while a short motif from City of Color is played when playing as Callie or Marie. Pressing the up arrow causes the girl and boy to hold a Splat Charger and play the voice clip from the 'booyah' Signal. The Inkling Squid changes into its humanoid form when this is pressed, while the same voice clip is used. Callie and Marie do their 'Stay Fresh!' greeting, with borrowed voice clips from Inkopolis News. The down arrow causes all costumes to lay down in squid form, with the same sound used when turning into a squid in Splatoon.

amiibo can be scanned into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where any Splatoon or Splatoon 2 amiibo are able to become Figure Players that are saved onto the amiibo.

Trivia

  • The Inkopolis Plaza out of bounds glitch reveals that the back of the amiibo case at the southeastern corner does have a texture and looks like the back of real amiibo packaging, except the words are written in Inkling. The back of the amiibo case in Splatoon 2 is also written in Inkling.
  • The Inkling Girl's amiibo is the basis for its trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
  • When the Off the Hook amiibo were scanned during the Trick vs. Treat Splatfest, the colors of their outfits were swapped (black for Pearl, white for Marina), the same as their in-game counterparts, except for their original color scheme (pink for Pearl, teal for Marina).
    • Same goes when scanning during the Fam vs. Friend Splatfest, which their outfits match their in-game counterparts (gold for Pearl, silver for Marina).
  • The recolored Inkling Boy from Splatoon appears to have a different eye color, being green instead of orange, and has a slightly lighter skin tone when scanned into Splatoon 2 compared to its appearance in Splatoon and the amiibo itself.
  • The Octoling Girl amiibo has darker skin in game than her amiibo.
  • In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy characters' appearances are based on their amiibo counterparts from Splatoon, including the recolors.
  • Some Splatoon amiibo glow under a blacklight. For the original Inkling Girl amiibo the shirt and shoes glow, while the Inkling Boy amiibo has its white shirt glow. For the Splatoon 2 variants the Inkling girl's hair, shirt, shoes, ink and some parts of the Dualies glow, while the Inkling Boy's Splattershot and the tip of its hair glow. The glowing parts of the Callie and Marie amiibo are their gloves, leggings and ink. The Pearl amiibo has its crown, leggings and ink glow, while the Marina amiibo has its leggings and pupils glow. It also seems that the Splatoon 2 Squid amiibo and all the Octoling amiibo faintly glow in regards to their ink color and hair.
  • The Octoling amiibo have many typos and grammatical errors in their dialogue (most notably the Octoling Octopus). This is likely due to the Octarians not speaking Inkling often.
  • In the UK, the only way to officially obtain an Inkling Squid amiibo at launch was to pre-order a bundle with the Splatoon. However, a truck transporting these bundles shipped from GAME was hijacked and the stock was never recovered. Consumers were instead given the other two Inkling amiibo alongside the game to make up for this loss or could receive some money back. The culprit was never found.[16]
