What older Splatoon amiibo give you
Any older compatible Splatoon-series amiibo (Inklings, Octolings, Lil Buddy, etc.) unlocks a different cosmetic: the Bite Waders, an outfit styled after the Salmon Run gear from Splatoon 2 and 3. So if you already own figures from earlier games, you can scan those too.
How to scan an amiibo
- On the Hideout Ship, press + to open the Gear menu.
- Select the Style tab in the bottom-right.
- Use L or R to navigate to the amiibo section and choose Scan.
- Tap the figure on the NFC point of your right Joy-Con.
To equip an unlocked outfit, go back to the Style tab and pick it from the Outfit list.
Are they worth it?
Honestly — only if you like the look. The outfits are cosmetic only. Nintendo has not attached any combat-stat bonus, exclusive weapon, Tank upgrade, or gameplay power to the figures. They don't affect difficulty, progression, or co-op at all. Buy them because you want the drip, not because you need them to win.
Where to buy
The Deep Cut amiibo three-pack covers all three characters and is the easiest way to grab them together:
