How to Use amiibo Figures (Splatoon 3) (2024)

Note
  • Scan any Splatoon series amiibo, or the Super Smash Bros. series Inkling Girl amiibo, to have the character appear and befriend you in the game. Befriend an amiibo character and they will remember favorited weapons, gear, Freshest Fits, and option settings.
  • Each compatible amiibo can give you some in-game gifts. You may need to play additional battles and scan the amiibo multiple times to acquire all their gifts.

Complete these steps

  1. Go to the amiibo Box in Splatsville Main Square.
  2. Stand in front of the box and press the A Button.
  3. Scan a compatible amiibo figure.
    • If the amiibo is unregistered, you will be prompted to register it now. Select Register! and follow the onscreen steps to create or select a Mii character and register the amiibo to it. Then, scan the amiibo again when prompted.
    • If the amiibo has been registered to a different user, you will need to reset the amiibo data before you can register it. (This will not affect any extra content the other user has already received from the amiibo.)
  4. Select Do it for me!
  5. Scan the amiibo one more time to befriend the amiibo in your game.
  6. To learn about saving gear, settings, and Freshest Fits to the amiibo, select Saving gear to amiibo. To learn about taking photos around Splattsville with your amiibo, select Taking photos with amiibo.
