Splatoon 2 Amiibo Unlockable Gear Guide

All Splatoon and Splatoon 2 Amiibo can be used to unlock Amiibo-exclusive gear in Splatoon 2. The original Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy, and Inkling Squid Amiibo from the first Splatoon game unlock the same gear in Splatoon 2 that they unlocked in the original Splatoon for Wii U, but now you do not need to complete challenges to unlock them. Callie and Marie from the original Splatoon Amiibo series also unlock exclusive gear in Splatoon 2. The Splatoon 2 Amiibo series includes a new version of the Inkling Girl, Inkling Boy, and Inkling Squid. The two new idols, Pearl and Marina, where also just released as Amiibo figures. These Amiibo unlock exclusive new gear as well. Each Amiibo unlocks three pieces of gear, including headgear, clothing, and shoes, all with special abilities. In addition to gear to customize the appearance of your Inkling or Octoling character, each Amiibo also unlocks a song to play at the Squid Beatz 2 arcade machine in Inkopolis Square.

An Octoling Girl, Octoling Boy, and Octoling Octopus Amiibo were also announced with the release of the Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion. These Amiibo will be released later this year as a special 3-pack.

The original Splatoon Inkling Amiibo were released in two different color variants. The original set includes the orange Inkling Girl, blue Inkling Boy, and green Inkling Squid. Later on, a second variant set of these Amiibo were released with the green Inkling Girl, purple Inkling Boy, and orange Inkling Squid.

Both Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy Amiibo were available separately or as part of a special 3 pack that also included the Inkling Squid. The Inkling Squid Amiibo were only available as part of these special 3 packs in North America, though they were available individually elsewhere in the world, including Japan.

The only difference between the two versions of each of these Amiibo is their color scheme. The different color variants of each of these Amiibo unlock the same gear and the same song, so you only need one of each if you just want to collect the gear.

Callie and Marie’s Amiibo are only available in a special two pack. Together, these two Inkling cousins form the iconic pop duo The Squid Sisters. These two Amiibo can only be used in Splatoon 2 after beating the main story mode. If you try to use Callie or Marie before completing the main story mode, you will see a message telling you that the character is busy, and to try again later.

The Splatoon 2 Inkling Amiibowere released at the same time as the game. The Splatoon 2 Inkling Girl Amiibo features an Inkling Girl as she appears on the game’s cover art. She has a short tentacle hairstyle with pink tentacles. The Splatoon 2 Inkling Boy Amiibo features an Inkling Boy with a spiky tentacle hairstyle and green tentacles. These three Amiibo are available individually.

Together, Pearl the Inkling and Marina the Octoling comprise the hip-hop duo Off the Hook. The Pearl and Marina Amiibo are available together in a special 2-pack. The gear unlocked by these Amiibo looks like the outfits worn by Pearl and Marina in the Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion. In addition to the unlockable gear, these Amiibo also allow players to take a picture of their character on stage with Off the Hook during Splatfest events. Instead of new songs for Squid Beatz 2, players receive new themes and sound effects for Squid Beatz 2.

For these two Amiibo, you will get the headgear items the first time you use the Amiibo in game. To get the second two pieces of gear for each Amiibo, you must save an outfit to the Amiibo, then go back to the giant Amiibo box to use the Amiibo again. The rest of the gear should now unlock.

The Octoling Girl, Octoling Boy, and Octoling Octopus are the latest Splatoon 2 Amiibo to be released. The Octoling Amiibo areavailable as a special 3-pack. These Amiibo were released in Japan and Europe on November 9th, and in North America on December 7th. These Amiibo unlock exclusive gear for Splatoon 2 and a song, just like the other Splatoon Amiibo. The Octoling Girl will unlock a witch/wizard outfit, called the Enchanted set. The Octoling Boy will unlock the "Steel" gear, which give the player the appearance of a medieval knight. The Octoling Octopus Amiibo unlocks the most frightening outfit of all; a "Fresh Fish" mascot outfit, based on a popular Inkopolis character. Check out the video below to preview the new Amiibo gear.

Though many Splatoon fans collect the Amiibo for the series mainly to have cool collectable figures of their favorite characters, these interactive figurines do provide some benefits when you use them in game. You can unlock a variety of unique gear with different abilities by using Amiibo, as well as unlock new songs for the Squid Beatz 2 arcade machine. While these Amiibo are not necessary to enjoy Splatoon 2, they are a fun addition to the game for fans who want to collect the figurines anyway.
