Universe Splatoon Debut Splatoon (2015) Smash Bros. appearances SSB4 Ultimate Most recent non-Smash appearance Splatoon 2 (2017) Console of origin Wii U Species Inkling Gender Varies Place of origin Inkopolis Created by Shintaro Sato Hisashi Nogami Tsubasa Sakaguchi Yusuke Amano Designed by Seita Inoue Voice actor Yuki Tsujii Article on Inkipedia Inkling Inkling (インクリング, Inkling) is the species of player characters from the Splatoon universe. Character description Inklings are creatures that can transform between a squid form and a humanoid form, which act as the players' avatars in Splatoon and Splatoon 2 (the latter of which also allows players to choose Octolings if they have purchased and completed the Octo Expansion DLC). Turf War battles between teams of Inklings involve using a variety of weapons to cover the map with their team's colored ink - which they can swim in while in squid form - while disrupting the other team's attempt to do the same within the time limit of three minutes. Inklings are also very fashionable, as they can be seen wearing different outfits as well as sporting different hairstyles (though hairstyle options are only available in Splatoon 2). The Inkling Outfit/Wig being orange for female Mii Gunners and blue for male Mii Gunners is a reference to the two most prominent Inklings in promotional art (including Splatoon's cover), an orange female Inkling and a blue male Inkling. These two designs are also the basis of the original Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl amiibo designs. The pose used for the Inkling trophy in SSB4 also matches the Inkling Girl amiibo. The Inkling Squid Hat, resembling an Inkling's squid form, appears to reference the design used for the original Inkling Squid amiibo, which is also green and in squid form. In Super Smash Bros. 4 Costumes The Inkling Outfit and wigs in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Inklings are the basis for two paid downloadable content costumes: the Inkling Outfit for Mii Gunners (with matching Inkling Wig headgear), and a standalone piece of headgear, the Inkling Squid Hat. Two QR codes were also released for those who wish to have the exact Miis used in the costume's advertising, one for the male and one for the female Inkling. These outfits could be obtained for free with copies of Splatoon purchased from GameStop in North America before June 13th, 2015. Otherwise, they were made purchasable on the eShop on June 14th, 2015. Trophy information The Inkling trophy is automatically unlocked after purchasing the Inkling Outfit.

Trivia The skin color for the Inkling costume in Super Smash Bros. 4 changes to match the skin color used by the Mii wearing it, mirroring the ability to customize the playable Inkling's skin color in Splatoon. Oddly, the European version of Super Smash Bros. 4 doesn't change the spelling in the Inkling trophy from 'colored' to 'coloured'. Inkling and Wii Fit Trainer are the only characters with male and female alternate costumes where the female costume is the default. Inkling is the only character to have male and female alternate costumes where both genders have the same voice actor. Inkling, Dark Samus, Wii Fit Trainer, and Bayonetta are the only characters to have never appeared on a handheld console outside of Smash, though if the Nintendo Switch is counted as a handheld, then Inkling and Bayonetta do not have this distinction. Inkling is the only playable fighter in the Super Smash Bros. series whose console of origin is the Wii U.
