Both male and female Inklings are introduced as playable characters, with three different costume variants each. A new battle mode course is introduced named Urchin Underpass based on the original Urchin Underpass from Splatoon as well as two Splatoon-themed ATV's, the Splat Buggy and the Inkstriker (heavily based of the Inkstrike). A new Inkling-themed amiibo costume unlocked by placing any Splatoon amiibo is also added.
