A series of Splatoon-themed clothing items were made available in the drop games, shops and on My Nintendo, for Miitomo. As part of a promotion for the event, Nintendo held a Twitter event where when specific tweets from @Miitomo_JP, @NintendoAmerica, and @NintendoEurope collectively reached 10,000 retweets, it granted all users a free Inkling Boy wig in the game, with 20,000 retweets granting a free Inkling Girl wig as well.

Some of these badges also make a cameo on the title screen. Over time, more Splatoon-themed badges were put in the arcade's rotation of crane machines in North America and Europe.

Collaborations with non-Nintendo franchises
JOYSOUND
On 30 January 2016, three Squid Sisters songs were added to the JOYSOUND service in Japan, which powers Wii Karaoke U, Karaoke JOYSOUND for Nintendo Switch, and certain karaoke machines. The lyrics are the same as the ones that were in the liner notes of Splatune.
All three songs use a unique music video to play in the background. Calamari Inkantation uses the "Splatfest Incoming!" promotional video, City of Color uses a slightly different version of the performance seen in the Splatoon Direct, and Ink Me Up uses a montage of other promotional videos and stock footage.
The songs, with romanized lyrics, were added to the European catalogue of Wii Karaoke U on 28 July 2016 in celebration of the Callie vs. Marie Splatfest.
On 2 February 2018, Off the Hook's Color Pulse was added onto the JOYSOUND service. The lyrics are mostly the same as the ones that were in the liner notes of Splatune 2, albeit with some additional lyrics. The introduction video featured in the Splatoon 2 Direct is used for the background.

Animal Crossing series
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
When a player builds a home for Octavian in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, they are given various Splatoon-themed items, including an ink texture for the exterior of the house.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo
- Main article: Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo
After the Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo update, the characters Cece, Viché and Inkwell were added as villagers that could be moved in via scanning in the Callie (for Cece), Marie (for Viché), Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl, or Inkling Squid (for Inkwell) amiibo at the Campground.
Cece and Viché are squirrel sisters cosplaying as Callie and Marie while Inkwell is an orange octopus resembling an Inkling's squid form. He wears a T-shirt bearing the Ranked Battle emblem.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
When the player catches a squid in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, a quote referencing Splatoon may be shown, including:
- "I caught a squid!
It's off the hook!" - "I caught a squid!
I had an inkling I might!"
When the player places a squid, firefly squid, or octopus, the back of the tank will have a small Splatoon sticker depicting a squid icon.
In addition, Blathers references Splatoon while giving a short speech about the Eusthenopteron fossil. He says:
"The Eusthenopteron is famous for being the link between fish and land animals long before dinosaurs. It seems to have strong fins capable of pulling it around areas where the water was shallow. When most creatures lived in the sea... they dreamed of land. If not for them, we mightn't be here today! Imagine if we'd not left the oceans... How might fashion and music be different in an aquatic world? How would we resolve differences? Perhaps some sort of ink-squirting contest of champions?"
StreetPass Mii Plaza
On 16 April 2015, it was revealed that a Splatoon-themed hat would be added to the item list for StreetPass Mii Plaza.[15] It is one of the many hats available to wear, acquired in Find Mii, StreetPass, or by other means.

Five of the costumes that can be used by Costume Mario are Splatoon characters: Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy, Inkling Squid, Callie, and Marie. The Callie and Marie costumes could be unlocked by completing a Splatoon-themed Event Course titled "Squid Sisters vs. Bloopers". Additionally, the game's files include unused gear icons from a pre-release version of Splatoon.
Super Mario Maker 2
Although Costume Mario does not return in Super Mario Maker 2, the Splatoon series is referenced in the game's story mode, where levels are seen by anonymous designers named "Agent 1", "Agent 2", "Celebrity MC", and "Celebrity DJ". These names are based off of the aliases Callie, Marie, Pearl, and Marina go by in Octo Valley and the Octo Expansion, respectively. Additionally, the manner of speech of these four characters matches the manner of speech of the idols themselves, most noticeable with Celebrity MC, whose description for the level Swinging Claw Ropes Course contains the line "Yo, this rope course I made is straight up SLOPPY!", a direct reference to Pearl's dialogue for Goby Arena. Celebrity MC even uses the phrase "off the hook" for the level That's One Hot Car!.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
It was confirmed in the Splatoon Direct that to celebrate the release of Splatoon, players who had pre-ordered or purchased Splatoon from GameStop between 8 May 2015 and 13 June 2015 would receive a download code for Inkling Mii Fighter costumes in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. These costumes were later made purchasable for everyone on 14 June 2015.
Both the Inkling Outfit and Inkling Wig are available as one item set, and the Inkling Squid Hat is separate. These costumes are represented in the characters' respective default colors for each gender - orange for female (wearing the Fake Contacts, White Tee, and Pink Trainers) and blue for male (wearing the Fake Contacts, Zink Layered LS, and Purple Hi-Horses). The Inkling Squid Hat appears simply as a green Inkling squid, in the same way as its amiibo.
An Inkling trophy is given to the player if they purchase any of the Splatoon costumes.

They like to octopi their time with frantic, multicolored turf wars, and they won't miss out on any oppor-tuna-ty to get to the top. And we wouldn't go so far as to call them cod's gift to fashion, but check out that fresh style! | ” |

WarioWare series
WarioWare Gold
In WarioWare Gold, scanning any Splatoon or Splatoon 2 amiibo (except for the Octoling Girl, Octoling Boy, and Octoling Octopus) in Wario's amiibo Sketch causes Wario to poorly draw the scanned character, and the drawing can be sold for coins.
WarioWare: Get It Together!
In WarioWare: Get It Together!, one of 9-Volt's Nintendo Classics microgames is named "Splatoon 2". It takes place on the results screen of a Turf War, where Judd and Li'l Judd are calculating the final score, with a view of the stage in the background covered in ink. The player has to choose which team they think won by moving their character to that team's side. The player wins if the side they chose is revealed to be the winning team. The first level of difficulty takes place at The Reef, the second at Sturgeon Shipyard, and the third at Humpback Pump Track. As the difficulty level increases, the difference between how much turf each team inked gets smaller, and the ink placement is more mixed up, making it harder to determine the victor.
The microgame's description reads: "Hmm... can you tell which team inked more turf? Pick a side and head that way! The honorable Judd and Li'l Judd will deliver the final verdict."
Yoshi's Woolly World
In Yoshi's Woolly World, scanning the Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy, or Inkling Squid amiibo unlocks a Yoshi design based on that character.

My Nintendo
When accessing the main page of the My Nintendo website after logging in, the user's Mii will participate in one of a set of randomized activities. In one of these activities, they can be seen painting on an easel. If the user clicks on their Mii, the Mii reveals their artwork, chosen randomly from eight possible canvases, one of which depicts an Inkling. In another activity, the Mii can be seen playing a game on a TV; one of the possible games is Splatoon 2 on a Nintendo Switch. If the user clicks on the Mii, the TV will turn off, frustrating the Mii.

References in miscellaneous web media
A Splatoon-themed Easter egg can be found on Google by searching for "splatoon", "splatoon 2", or "splatoon 3" and clicking on the ink splotch animation in the game knowledge panel. This activates the Easter egg, where users can click or tap to shoot globs of ink at the screen, which plays a "plop" sound and creates a splotch of ink on the page. Upon impact, the ink makes a "splash" sound. Ink splotches can be shaped normally, have a set of squid eyes in them, or can be shaped like a squid or octopus. The colors of the splotches of ink match the colors of the Google logo. There is also a button with a drop of water on it that the player can click to deactivate the Easter egg, causing water to cover the page (with an accompanying sound effect) and remove the ink splotches. This Easter egg was added at some point around the release date of Splatoon 3.
