They like to octopi their time with frantic, multi-colored(sic) turf wars between rivals, and they won't miss out on any oppor-tuna-ty to get to the top! And we wouldn't go so far as to call them cod's gift to fashion, but check out that style! : Splatoon (05/2015) In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate The female Inkling as she appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The Inklings, in the male and female variations, are playable as newcomers. The reveal trailer for the then-untitled Super Smash Bros. game for Nintendo Switch featured the default female and male Inklings in their designs from the original Splatoon, though they were not explicitly confirmed to be playable until Nintendo's E3 2018 presentation. Origin Inklings are creatures that can transform between a squid form and a humanoid form, which act as the players' avatars in Splatoon. 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. 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.

Trivia The skin color for the Inkling costume changes to match the skin color used by the Miis, mirroring the ability to customize the playable Inkling's skin color in Splatoon. Oddly, the European version of the game doesn't change the spelling in the Inkling trophy from 'colored' to 'coloured'.
