Splatoon 3 players have already found out what in-game gear can be unlocked by scanning Amiibo figures on the Switch’s NFC pad—and the game has only been out for a few hours for certain parts of the world.
Destructoid compiled a list of what each Splatoon Amiibo figure does when scanned into the hub world’s special zone. As with previous games, scanned Amiibo generally grant cosmetic rewards, including hats, tops, and shoes. Only Splatoon Amiibo will work with Splatoon 3. Scanning Amiibo from other series, including Mario and company, will result in an error message.
A few of the Splatoon Amiibo didn’t grant any rewards. Destructoid speculated that was because some may grant the same rewards. If you already have the specified clothing, it can’t be unlocked twice.
The complete list of Splatoon 3 Amiibo unlocks is as follows:
- Inkling Girl (Green): School Shoes + Hi Socks (feet), Base School Shoes (feet), School Uniform A (chest), School Uniform B (chest), Squid Hairclip (head)
- Inkling Girl (Smash Bros. version): Same as Inkling Girl (Green)

There are also three Splatoon 3 Amiibo that won’t release until later this year after the game’s launch window. These will likely grant additional cosmetic rewards beyond the ones mentioned in this list.
