Les amiibos sont des figurines produites par Nintendo qui sont équipées de la technologie NFC (Near-Field Communication) et qui peuvent être utilisées dans une grande variété de jeux Wii U et Nintendo 3DS, dans laquelle il y a Splatoon.

Splatoon

Le 1er avril 2015, Nintendo a annoncé, lors d’un Nintendo Direct, que Splatoon allait recevoir trois amiibos différents le 29 mai 2015. Ces figurines, quand elles sont scannées dans la place de Chromapolis, débloquent vingt niveaux différents avec cinq défis de boss déblocables dans l’Octavallée et trois pièces exclusives d’équipements chacune à porter lors des combats. Ces trois amiibos qui ont été annoncés sont le Garçon Inkling, la Fille Inkling et le Calamar Inkling. L’amiibo du calamar fut disponible seulement dans un pack spécial renfermant les trois amiibos d’un coup, en Amérique du Nord, et dans l’offre Splatoon + amiibo calamar Inkling en Europe.

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

Gameplay

La boîte d’amiibo est située au sud-est de Chromapolis et elle apparaît comme étant une boîte traditionnelle (avec son design attitré). Quand l’amiibo est scanné (et s’il est enregistré), des cercles de peinture (de plusieurs couleurs) apparaissent et le personnage correspondant à l’amiibo apparaît donc dans cette boîte. Les personnages introduisent eux-mêmes leurs paroles pour guider vers les défis qu’ils proposent.

Each Wave 1 amiibo features twenty challenges if the single-player mode, Octo Valley, has been completed. The first challenge gives the player six hundred cash as a reward, with the reward increasing by one hundred more cash for each next challenge (i.e. one mission reward is 1000 cash, while the next mission reward is 1100 cash). 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 three pieces 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 reskins have the same behavior as their original counterparts. The challenge tree is shared between the original and reskinned amiibo.

Inkling Boy

“	Salut ! Ça a l’air cool, ici. Merci de m’avoir fait venir ! C’est toi l’étoile montante dont tout le monde parle, pas vrai ? J’en étais sûr : tu sais manier le rouleau, ça saute aux yeux ! D’ailleurs… J’ai justement quelques défis dédiés aux rouleaux sous le coude ! Ça te dit ? Hé ! Arrête-moi si je me trompe, mais t’étais dans l’Octavallée, pas vrai ? Je te vois encore tirer sur ces tentamachins dans tes fringues super classe ! Je me suis dit : « voilà quelqu’un qui est taillé pour relever mes défis ! » Alors voilà le topo : tu finis les mêmes missions, mais avec un rouleau ! C’est dans tes cordes ? Je saurai te récompenser si t’y arrives !	”

Trivia

• The Inkling Girl's amiibo is the basis for its trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
