Its functionality is identical to the original, but the character's in-game appearance matches the new model. While she is no longer the host of the daily news segments and Splatfests, the Pearlescent outfit carries her presence while also looking incredibly cozy and stylish at the same time. Along with Marie, the sassiest member, she hosts Inkopolis News and Splatfest events, in which Inklings pick one of two sides and battle the opposing team in Turf War.

In Hyrule Warriors, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Splatoon amiibo can be tapped once a day for different rewards such as weapons rated three stars or lower, Rupees, crafting materials and more. For the Splatoon 2 amiibo the Inkling Girl's hair, shirt, shoes, ink and some parts of the Splat Dualies glow, while the Inkling Boy's Splattershot and the tip of its hair glow. Each amiibo unlocks a theme for Squid Beatz 2 which changes the visuals of the game, as well as the sound effects played when entering the button prompts in the game.

In North America they can only be purchased individually, while in other regions they are also available in a pack of three. Several months after the release of the Octo Expansion, Amiibo of Agent 8 became available for purchase. The Pearl amiibo has its crown, leggings and ink glow, while the Marina amiibo has its leggings and pupils glow. The Inkling (Yellow), Octoling (Blue), and Smallfry amiibo were eventually released on 11 November 2022. The rewards given by the Inkling Boy 2 amiibo are almost identical, minus the song, while the Squinja Mask has been split into the Squinja Mask Mk I and Squinja Mask Mk II.

At 5 and 15 won games, they will hint at having found something for you, but you only get it at the 10th and 20th won game. Using stealth to maneuver across the map and ink enemy territory in Turf Wars is often essential for pulling out the win in a heated battle. As opposed to a monetary reward, the boss challenges provide an exclusive piece of gear for the first three bosses, a minigame for the fourth, and a weapon blueprint for the final boss.The spiked leather jacket and helmet should strike fear into the hearts of your enemies as you soar onto the battlefield. I know in the past games you had to play with or scan the amiibo a couple times to get all the pieces, but all my other Splatoon amiibo fully unlocked their sets this time except for these two.
