As a seasoned Splatoon enthusiast who’s been squidding around these digital battlefields since the very beginning, let me tell you, my friends, the outfits obtained from scanning amiibos in Splatoon 3 are nothing short of extraordinary!

Back then, it feels like a distant era, but just a few short years ago, the gaming environment was dominated by titles such as Skylanders and Disney Infinity, which utilized physical figurines to access in-game characters and costumes. Amiibo were Nintendo’s innovative response to this trend.

Although the games that initially brought these characters into prominence have largely lost their appeal, amiibo continue to provide a reasonable selection of in-game perks across Nintendo’s titles. For instance, the Splatoon series awards exclusive outfits upon scanning Splatoon series amiibos. While these costumes may seem expensive, if someone is contemplating purchasing an amiibo, certain outfits are worth the investment.

19 Power Outfit

An Esthetically Awesome Outfit With Some Proportion Issues

In the game Splatoon, many of the characters’ clothes are designed to resemble real-world garments, even the looser and more voluminous outfits tend to be form-fitting. However, the power outfit stands out as it is exceptionally bulky, occupying a width that could almost accommodate another player.

As a long-time fan of Splatoon, I was beyond excited when I finally scanned my Splatoon 1 squid amiibo and received this high-tech, tanky outfit for use in the game. However, much to my disappointment, its large size often causes it to clip into itself, making it look awkward and out of place on my character. Despite its cool design, I find myself rarely using it due to these visual glitches. It’s a shame, as I had high hopes for this outfit that was promised to make me look like a formidable player in the game world.

18 Power MK1 Outfit

A Futuristic Armor Outfit With A Customizable Element

The Power MK1 Set significantly surpasses its predecessor in performance, delivering superior outcomes. One key difference is that it’s noticeably smaller, thus minimizing clipping and giving it a more streamlined appearance.

As a gamer, I found that the more subdued design of this power suit gives it a Judge Dredd-like vibe, which is definitely cool. Plus, the arrow on its head switching colors based on my ink level adds a unique touch. To snag this badass outfit in Splatoon 2, all I had to do was scan one of those squid amiibo figures from the series.

17 Armor Outfit

A Multiplayer Depiction Of The First Game’s Single-Player Mode

As someone who has been a dedicated fan of Nintendo games for over two decades, I can confidently say that the outfit received from scanning the Marie amiibo is a delightful nod to the original Splatoon game’s single-player mode. Unlike other shooter-style games with conventional health systems, the story mode in Splatoon offers players an additional layer of resilience and a unique twist on the traditional mechanics. In the multiplayer version of Splatoon, your character’s health relies heavily on quick reflexes and strategic gameplay, but the single-player experience provides an extra safety net.

In the game’s story mode, this costume is awarded to players upon acquiring armor. Aesthetically speaking, it’s rather simple and unremarkable compared to other amiibo costumes, making it less noteworthy for prioritization.

16 Steel Outfit

A Medieval Ensemble Creating The Ultimate Throwback Look

In the world of Splatoon games, fashion plays a significant role. Mostly, they focus on contemporary street styles, so you’ll often see items like sneakers, hoodies, and headphones. But if you’re into retro vibes, there’s a nod to the past as well. For those who want to channel a medieval look, the ‘steel’ collection could be perfect for them.

As a longtime fan of the Splatoon series, I was thrilled to obtain the octoling boy amiibo from the Splatoon 2 game. The suit of armor that comes with it is beautifully crafted and truly sets me apart in the game. However, my excitement quickly faded when I realized that there are no pants options within the game, leaving my character’s outfit looking a bit awkward and incomplete. As someone who values attention to detail and a well-rounded look for my characters, this oversight has been somewhat disappointing. I can only hope that future updates or additional content will address this issue and allow me to fully enjoy the armor set as intended.

15 Hero Outfit

Nostalgia For The Series’ First Game

Although the multiplayer aspect of the Splatoon series is what primarily attracts players, each game also offers engaging single-player campaigns as an added bonus. While these campaigns have a simple narrative, they maintain consistency across all three games. This means that the player character from the original Splatoon is considered a part of the stories in both Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3.

By employing the Callie amiibo, players can gain access to the ‘Splatoon 1’ single-player character’s iconic outfit, reminiscent of the original game’s narrative or a costume representation of the initial avatar. The suit may not be the most fashionable, but it earns points for nostalgia.

14 School Uniform Outfit

A Uniformed Look That Made Its Debut In Smash Bros

As a dedicated Splatoon player for years now, I can confidently say that one of my favorite amiibo outfits was among the very first introduced to the game – it’s the school uniform obtained by scanning the Splatoon 1 series inkling girl amiibo. Growing up, I always admired the classic and stylish appearance of school uniforms, so when this outfit became available in Splatoon, it instantly reminded me of those fond memories. The sweater and blazer combo is nothing short of a perfect representation of a traditional school uniform, making it an iconic choice for any inkling girl character. Whether you’re a long-time player or new to the game, this outfit is definitely worth adding to your collection!

Although it’s simple, this outfit has wide appeal, especially the girl version, which even made it into Super Smash Bros as an alternate costume for the inklings. This set also comes with the squid hairclip, which is an extremely general use clothing piece that looks good in any outfit.

13 School Outfit

A Casual Alternate To A Classic Splatoon Outfit

Being a longtime gamer myself, I must say that the “Splatoon 2” inkling girl set seems to be quite reminiscent of a school uniform, which is not entirely surprising considering its origin. However, as someone who has already accumulated a collection of school-themed outfits, I find this new addition to be a tad too similar and somewhat underwhelming. It’s a bit of a letdown for those of us who have been eagerly awaiting something fresh and unique. But for those who are new to the game or don’t yet own any school uniform outfits, I think they might appreciate this set more – it definitely stands out in their collection!

Generally speaking, replacing the formal blazers with relaxed cardigans in the initial ensemble gives it a more laid-back vibe. This transformation enhances the overall appearance, and the girl’s cardigan offers versatility for crafting adorable personalized styles.

12 Sous-Chef Outfit

A Karate-Esque Culinary Costume

One of the fresh costumes debuted in Splatoon 3 is under discussion here, and while it surpasses many amiibo outfits from Splatoon 2, it remains the least impressive among the latest additions. This particular costume can be acquired by scanning the Splatoon 3 series octoling boy amiibo figure.

As a seasoned sushi enthusiast with over two decades of dining in various Japanese restaurants worldwide, I have observed that many sushi chefs wear traditional outfits reminiscent of martial arts garb. The ensemble typically consists of a gi-like top, a blue and white headband, and peculiar foot wraps that seem somewhat misplaced in the context of fashion. While the overall look may not be the epitome of style, the individual components can serve as versatile pieces for custom outfits, reflecting the practicality and adaptability inherent in Japanese culture.

11 Squinja Outfit

A Sneaky Outfit Inspired By A Special Weapon

As a thrilled fan, I’m excited about the launch of Splatoon 3! One of the game’s new additions is the ‘zipcaster’, a special weapon that transforms players into a swift ninja for a limited time to dash across the map. I must admit, this ninja form looks really awesome, and luckily for those of us who want to keep the ninja vibe permanently, it’s possible!

By employing the Splatoon 2 series inkling boy amiibo figure, gamers can unlock the ‘squinja’ outfit collection, featuring two distinctive masks – one with an open design and another closed. This addition to the typical Splatoon equipment offers a fresh twist, and it also includes some speed-enhancing abilities.

10 Onaga Mask Outfit

A Faithful Reproduction Of Deep Fry’s Inkling Member’s Clothing

After inserting the Frye amiibo into Splatoon 3, players will gain access to a team resembling Deep Cut’s yellow Inkling member. By obtaining the Onaga Mask, Eelneck Tank, and Eelneck Socks, they can not only don clothing similar to Frye, but also enjoy the associated boosts and advantages that come with these items.

Although the outfit is quite stylish and essential for avid Deep Cut fans, Frye appears to be the least fashion-forward among the three musicians or villains.

9 Enchanted Outfit

A Classic Witch Ensemble, Complete With Hat And Pointy Shoes

Just as the ‘steel’ collection caters to a modern gaming style, the ‘enchanted’ series provides a vintage flair for players, enabling them to don the attire of an old-world witch, complete with pointed toes and a curly hat.

As a long-time fan of the Splatoon series, I was absolutely thrilled to obtain this outfit inspired by the Octoling girl amiibo from the Splatoon 2 game. What makes this purchase particularly exciting for me is the inclusion of two different variations on the robe – one with a shorter cut that showcases the accompanying pants, and another longer version.

8 Chaos Outfit

A Bulky Yet Cool-Looking Apocalyptic Esthetic

Following the climax of the last Splatfest for Splatoon 2, fans anticipated a significantly more disordered aesthetic and potentially narrative structure in Splatoon 3. As predicted, there’s been an influx of casual, rumpled hairstyles and clothing options in the latest release.

In another version, this is one of the select methods players can adopt a Mad Max-like appearance. This style not only suits the theme of Splatoon 3, but it also offers a more robust look for those who prefer it, without the issue of clipping that power outfits encounter. It’s possible to acquire this by scanning the Small Fry amiibo.

7 Marinated Outfit

An R&B-Inspired Ensemble Reminiscent Of The Squid Sisters

Initially, the Squid Sisters held the spotlight as the primary music group in Splatoon 1. However, Off The Hook from Splatoon 2 outshone them significantly, especially following the release of Splatoon 2’s Octo Expansion. As a result, Pearl and Marina have gained a massive fan base. Fortunately for fans, there is an opportunity for players to don costumes resembling these beloved characters.

Marina’s “Octo Expansion” costume can be obtained by scanning the Marina amiibo figure. The outfit features a stylish Tupac-inspired bandana, a sleeveless silver-chained top, and silver shoes that complete the look. However, to achieve the complete ensemble, players will need to select compatible pants as well.

6 Pearlescent Outfit

A Minimal Yet Stylish Take On This Squid Sister’s Aesthetic

Similar to Marina, using her amiibo will unveil Pearl’s design from the Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion game, awarding players with the ‘pearlescent’ collection. Although both characters are paired, this outfit ranks slightly higher because of its superior overall appearance.

The Marina attire generally leans towards simplicity, while the Pearl collection showcases more eye-catching pieces. The pink and yellow hoodie exudes style, boasting a built-in chain, and the sneakers seem to sparkle. What makes this even more appealing is that the outfit includes two crowns – one small and one large – offering versatility for various other styles.

5 Manta Mask Outfit

A Streamlined Interpretation Of Big Man’s Clothing And Features

Despite being confined within an amiibo box when players summon him, Big Man’s attire subtly references the manta ray’s garments and physical patterns.

Instead of a literal replica, the outfit for the Deep Cut member is more about interpreting his character, particularly his body and Manta Mask. The Big Slick and Big Muds apparel represent his distinctive white-red headpiece and grey-white speckled appearance. Given his significant role as the creative musical force driving Deep Cut’s achievements, many players will undoubtedly appreciate the opportunity to emulate him.

4 Samurai Outfit

A Humorously Bulky Portrayal Of The Feudal Armor Set

Although some people may appreciate the vintage charm of the squinja and metal costumes, they don’t delve as deeply into their themes compared to the ‘samurai’ collection in Splatoon 3. This is one of the bulkier outfits available, transforming the player into a fully equipped samurai, complete with a tiny folding fan for authenticity.

The collection is acquired through scanning the amiibo figure of the inkling boy from the Splatoon 1 series. The entire set is impressive, but the helmet piece can be used to enhance other outfits too, as it’s quite eye-catching and resembles the helmet worn by DJ Octavio.

3 Hohojiro Mask Outfit

A One-To-One Interpretation Of Deep Cut’s Octoling Esthetic

As a dedicated fan, I can proudly say that by acquiring the Chomp Top, Faux Sharkskin Platfins, and the legendary Hohojiro Mask from Shiver’s amiibo, I can mirror Deep Cut’s sassy Octoling member’s appearance in Splatoon 3. Unlike some other amiibo outfits that don’t align with their origin or are misinterpreted, Shiver’s outfit is authentically replicated in our favorite game.

Additionally, each item from the set offers standard bonuses, including enhancements for Sub Power and Ink Resistance. Moreover, the Chomp Top grants the player the beneficial Ninja Squid main skill.

2 Fresh Fish Outfit

A Comedically Cute Mascot Outfit

Each ensemble featured on this list showcases elements that are typically unavailable in Splatoon 3 from a fashion perspective. Unlike previous offerings, these outfits don’t focus on providing a serious or stylish look; instead, they emphasize humor. If you’re searching for something amusingly unique, the ‘fresh fish’ set is just what you need!

Players can acquire the mascot outfit for their inkling character in the Splatoon 2 series by scanning the corresponding amiibo figure. The attire includes a headpiece, gloves, and shoes. Although it would be more fitting with pants to complete the look, the quirky style is oddly humorous, making it an amusing sight amidst the typical streetwear of Splatoon.

1 Schoolyard Boss Outfit

A Cool-Looking Casual Post-Apocalyptic Ensemble

As a dedicated gamer diving back into the vibrant world of Splatoon 3, I’m thrilled to share that just like its predecessors, it has its own line of amiibo figures. One of them is an inkling girl figure from this series, and it perfectly complements the post-apocalyptic vibe of Splatoon 3. Pairing it with the freshly introduced hairstyles really brings my in-game character to life!

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, this amiibo set is more than just a worn jacket, it’s paired with some rugged rope sandals and a unique fishbone toothpick that adds an edgy touch. It’s undeniably the most stylish collection in the game, and it even offers some useful mobility and defense skills to keep me surviving longer in the gameplay.
