'''[[inkipedia:Inkling|Inklings]]''' are protagonists from the ''[[inkipedia:Splatoon|Splatoon]]'' series who make some appearances in crossover games. They are a race of humanoids that can turn into squids, the color of which is based on their hair color. Inklings live in [[inkipedia:Inkopolis|Inkopolis]], where they participate in [[inkipedia:Turf War|Turf Wars]] in which they attempt to cover as much area as possible with their ink, along with other [[inkipedia:Ranked Battle|sports]] and activities such as [[inkipedia:Splatfest|Splatfests]] and [[inkipedia:Salmon Run|Salmon Run]]. Splatoon, the manga, featured prontagonist inklings.

Inkling Girls and Inkling Boys are represented under a single {{iw|smashwiki|unlockable character}} named "Inkling" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. They were officially announced during the E3 2018 Nintendo Direct,<ref>{{cite|quote=And here's a new fighter.|url=youtu.be/L93H7YC-83o?feature=shared&t=967|title=''Super Smash Bros.

Inklings use a variety of weapons from the ''Splatoon'' games as part of their moveset, including the {{iw|inkipedia|Splattershot}} as their primary weapon, the {{iw|inkipedia|Inkbrush}} for their side smash attack, the {{iw|inkipedia|Blaster}} for their up smash attack, the {{iw|inkipedia|Slosher}} for their down smash attack, the {{iw|inkipedia|Splat Bomb}} for their {{iw|smashwiki|down special move}}, the {{iw|inkipedia|Splat Roller}} for their {{iw|smashwiki|side special move}}, and the {{iw|inkipedia|Killer Wail}} for their [[Final Smash]]. When an opponent is covered in ink, they receive more damage from attacks. Inklings have a limited supply of ink, which can be refilled by pressing {{button|switch|B}} while {{iw|smashwiki|shield}}ing.<ref>{{cite|quote=Shield and press the special-move button to refill your ink tank.

The Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy appear as fully unlockable playable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. They use a variety of weapons from the ''Splatoon'' games as part of their moveset, including the [[inkipedia:Splattershot|Splattershot]] as their main weapon, the [[inkipedia:Inkbrush|Inkbrush]] for their forward smash, the [[inkipedia:Blaster|Blaster]] for their up smash, the [[inkipedia:Slosher|Slosher]] for their down smash, the [[inkipedia:Splat Bomb|Splat Bomb]], the [[inkipedia:Splat Roller|Splat Roller]], and the [[inkipedia:Killer Wail|Killer Wail]] for their [[Final Smash]]. When an opponent is covered in ink, they take more damage from attacks. Inklings can also run out of ink, and a gauge showing how much ink is left is displayed next to the Inkling's profile. To refill, the player must press {{button|ns|B}} while [[shield]]ing. The ink refills at the normal rate even while the Inkling is not standing on their ink, unlike in the original ''Splatoon'' games. The player can also play as a yellow, pink, or purple female Inkling, or a green, cyan, or dark-blue male Inkling, each wearing different accessories. Like in the original games, the ink's color corresponds to that of the Inkling.
Two more Inklings, the {{iw|inkipedia|Squid Sisters}} ({{iw|inkipedia|Callie}} and {{iw|inkipedia|Marie}}), collectively appear as an [[Assist Trophy]]. They perform a live concert as the camera gradually zooms in on them,<ref name=blog>{{cite|quote=Cameras get closer and closer to their live performance, limiting the space you have to battle. Don't get too lost in the music!|url=www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/index.html?pageCount=3&category=cat03_item_02|title=Super Smash Blog {{!}} ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' for the Nintendo Switch System|publisher=''Super Smash Bros.'' Official Website|language=en-us|date=June 12, 2018}}</ref> giving players less room to battle.<ref name=blog/> Once their song is done, the Squid Sisters disappear and the camera returns to normal.
 
Both the orange Inkling Girl and the blue Inkling Boy appear in the opening scene of {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: World of Light}}, being unsuccessful at hiding in ink as {{iw|smashwiki|Galeem}} launches beams of light at them.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/KlZMkVd1l8s?feature=shared&t=86|title=World of light intro 4K|timestamp=01:26|author=MVGMoe|date=September 14, 2019|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref> Later, when the Inkling Puppet Fighter is defeated, both Inklings join the team.


Additionally, the [[inkipedia:Squid Sisters|Squid Sisters]], consisting of Callie and Marie, collectively make an appearance as an [[Assist Trophy]]. When they are summoned, they appear in the middle of the stage (teleporting if not there already), and perform a live concert. As they are performing, the camera zooms in on them, and the blast lines get smaller and smaller, making it easier for players to be KO'd. Once the song finishes, the duo disappears, and the camera returns to normal.
Inkling is a middleweight fighter, being lighter than {{iw|smashwiki|Roy (SSBU)|Roy}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Pac-Man (SSBU)|Pac-Man}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Robin (SSBU)|Robin}}, and {{iw|smashwiki|Chrom (SSBU)|Chrom}} but heavier than {{iw|smashwiki|Joker (SSBU)|Joker}}, while having the same weight as {{iw|smashwiki|Ness (SSBU)|Ness}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Lucas (SSBU)|Lucas}}, and [[Mii Brawler]].


In the Adventure mode, both the Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy are present when the fighters oppose [[Galeem]] for the first time. They both attempt to hide in ink when Galeem's beams of light are launched, but this is proven futile, as they are both hit by one of the beams and imprisoned in the World of Light, where a Galeem-serving Puppet Fighter (copy) of the Inkling Girl is created. Both Inklings are eventually freed from their imprisonment and join [[Kirby]]'s team against Galeem and later [[Dharkon]].
Every opponent in Inkling's Classic Mode route, An Inkredible Journey, uses an alternate costume that matches the color scheme of the {{iw|smashwiki|stage}}. The opponents are fought in the following order:

Inklings appear as one of [[Mario]]'s [[Costume Mario|costumes]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. There are three types of Inkling costumes: Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl, and Inkling Squid, the latter of which can assume humanoid form by holding up on a control stick. Along with being unlocked by scanning their respective [[amiibo]], these costumes can be unlocked randomly by completing the 100 Mario Challenge.
Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl, and Inkling Squid each appear as a [[List of Yoshi designs in Yoshi's Woolly World|Yoshi design]] in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|its port]] when scanning the respective Inkling's amiibo. The Squid Sisters also bear a Yoshi design.

The Squid Sisters also from ''Splatoon'', consisting of Callie and Marie, make an appearance in this game as costumes for Mario.

Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl, Inkling Squid, and the Squid Sisters each appear as [[Costume Mario|costumes]] for [[Mario]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. The Inkling Squid can undergo its humanoid form by holding up on the control stick. Besides scanning their respective amiibo, each costume can instead be unlocked randomly by completing the 100 Mario Challenge. The three Inklings reuse their voice clips from ''Splatoon''.

Inklings appear in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. Players can select both the male and female versions of Inklings, as well as a variety of different colors. Like the multicolored [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] and [[Shy Guy]]s, the color variations of Inklings cannot be used by the CPU drivers. Inklings are the 200cc staff ghost for [[Excitebike Arena]] and [[Dragon Driftway]]. The Inkling Girl is the staff ghost for Excitebike Arena and the Purple Inkling Boy is the staff ghost for Dragon Driftway. They are equipped with their [[inkipedia:Splattershot|Splattershots]] and can turn into their squid form when performing a [[Trick]]. They come with their own themed battle course called [[Urchin Underpass]], and have signature ATV bodies, the [[Inkstriker]] and the [[Splat Buggy]]; both vehicles are unique in that they spray colored ink from the exhaust pipes when getting a speed boost, instead of normal flames. This also marks the debut of the Inklings in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Their kart symbol is an Inkling Squid in the color of the character. Both are medium weight characters; the girl is in the same subset as [[Cat Mario|Cat Peach]] and the female [[Villager]], while the boy is in the same subset as [[Tanooki Mario]] and the male Villager. The Inkling can become Squids when doing certain tricks and using the [[Feather]] power up. Despite ''Splatoon'' showing Inklings get defeated as soon as they land in water, Inklings are capable of remaining underwater in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.
Inkling Girls and Inkling Boys are playable in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', each having their own statistics. The two Inkling characters were formerly separate on the select screen, but would later be consolidated together since the sixth wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. The default Inkling Girl has orange hair, while the default Inkling Boy has blue hair; their [[palette swap]] include green or pink Inkling Girls and purple or cyan Inkling Boys. The Inklings show off {{iw|inkipedia|Splattershot}}s during [[trick]]s or their victory animation, and become their squid form for another trick or when using the [[Feather]]. The Inklings have their own themed battle course, [[Urchin Underpass]], as well as signature ATV bodies, [[Inkstriker]] and the [[Splat Buggy]]. Their [[emblem]] is an Inkling squid in the color of the Inkling on a black background. They have ink splashes on a background on their Standard Karts and Super Gliders, with a white background for Inkling Girls and a black background for Inkling Boys. Their horn sounds are sound effects from the ''Splatoon'' series. Inklings are middleweight characters; the girl is among the lightest middleweights alongside [[Cat Mario|Cat Peach]], female Villager, and [[Diddy Kong]], whereas the boy is somewhat heavier, somewhat like [[Tanooki Mario]] and male Villager. The Inklings can drive underwater harmlessly, like other characters, unlike in the ''Splatoon'' series.


One of Inkling Girl's animations was originally considered by some to resemble an {{wp|Bras d'honneur|obscene gesture}}; it was later modified in [[Mario_Kart_8_Deluxe#Ver._1.1.0|Ver. 1.1.0]].
If an Inkling is a CPU, they will usually ride the [[Splat Buggy]] or [[Inkstriker]] with the [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires; however, they can sometimes ride the [[Standard Kart]] with Standard tires, or the [[Standard Bike]] with [[Monster (tire)|Monster]] tires.
{{br}}
 
The Inkling Boy is the 150cc staff ghost for {{classic-link|Tour|Tokyo Blur}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Bangkok Rush}}. Inklings are also the 200cc staff ghosts for [[Excitebike Arena]] and [[Dragon Driftway]]; the orange Inkling Girl is the staff ghost for Excitebike Arena, and the purple Inkling Boy is the staff ghost for Dragon Driftway.

*'''Viridi''': Inklings rose to power 12,000 years after mammals went extinct.
*'''Pit''': EXTINCT?!
*'''Viridi''': Yep. The monkeys were eradicated! BOOYAH!

*'''Pit''': Twelve thousand years of missed meals? Aw man...
*'''Palutena''': Focus, Pit. If an Inkling hits you with an ink attack, you'll take extra damage until the ink evaporates. However, Inklings can't use ink attacks if their Ink Tank is empty. That's the time to strike!

Inklings are protagonists from the Splatoon series. They are a race of humanoids capable of turning into squids,[1] more specifically of the same color as their hair. Inklings have sometimes appeared in the Super Mario franchise, most notably as playable characters in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

The Inklings' squid form coincidentally resemble Bloopers in the Super Mario franchise, since the developers of Splatoon did not take them into consideration when designing them.[2]

History[edit]

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[edit]

Inklings appear as downloadable costumes for the Mii Fighters in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The outfits were released on June 14, 2015.[3] The Mii Gunners can wear an Inkling Outfit which changes design based on the gender of the Mii, while any Mii Fighter can wear the Inkling Wig or the Inkling Squid Hat, the former of which also changes by the gender.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

The Inkling lands with a splash of ink in squid form before transforming back, then flaps both arms excitedly before drawing the Splattershot.

Inkling Girls and Inkling Boys are represented under a single unlockable character named "Inkling" in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. They were officially announced during the E3 2018 Nintendo Direct,[4] alongside Daisy and Ridley. Inklings use a variety of weapons from the Splatoon games as part of their moveset, including the Splattershot as their primary weapon, the Inkbrush for their side smash attack, the Blaster for their up smash attack, the Slosher for their down smash attack, the Splat Bomb for their down special move, the Splat Roller for their side special move, and the Killer Wail for their Final Smash. When an opponent is covered in ink, they receive more damage from attacks. Inklings have a limited supply of ink, which can be refilled by pressing B Button while shielding.[5] Besides the default orange-haired Inkling Girl and blue-haired Inkling Boy, the player can select a yellow, pink, or purple Inkling Girl, or a green, cyan, or indigo Inkling Boy as alternate costumes. Inklings receive minor damage while swimming,[6] a trait also held by Sonic, Charizard, and Incineroar.

Two more Inklings, the Squid Sisters (Callie and Marie), collectively appear as an Assist Trophy. They perform a live concert as the camera gradually zooms in on them,[7] giving players less room to battle.[7] Once their song is done, the Squid Sisters disappear and the camera returns to normal.

Both the orange Inkling Girl and the blue Inkling Boy appear in the opening scene of Adventure Mode: World of Light, being unsuccessful at hiding in ink as Galeem launches beams of light at them.[8] Later, when the Inkling Puppet Fighter is defeated, both Inklings join the team.

Inkling is a middleweight fighter, being lighter than Roy, Pac-Man, Robin, and Chrom but heavier than Joker, while having the same weight as Ness, Lucas, and Mii Brawler.

Every opponent in Inkling's Classic Mode route, An Inkredible Journey, uses an alternate costume that matches the color scheme of the stage. The opponents are fought in the following order:

  1. Lucario (green costume) and Sheik (green costume) on Yoshi's Island (Melee)
  2. Greninja (pink costume) on Magicant
  3. Wario (red overalls) and Duck Hunt (red duck) on Norfair
  4. Giant Yoshi (light-blue) on Summit
  5. Shulk (purple costume), Ness (Mr. Saturn costume), and Mewtwo (dark costume) on Fountain of Dreams
  6. Inkling Girl (yellow costume) and Inkling Boy (green costume)[notes 1] on Moray Towers (Splatfest)
  7. Final boss fight against Marx

Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl, and Inkling Squid each appear as a Yoshi design in Yoshi's Woolly World and its port when scanning the respective Inkling's amiibo. The Squid Sisters also bear a Yoshi design.

Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl, Inkling Squid, and the Squid Sisters each appear as costumes for Mario in Super Mario Maker. The Inkling Squid can undergo its humanoid form by holding up on the control stick. Besides scanning their respective amiibo, each costume can instead be unlocked randomly by completing the 100 Mario Challenge. The three Inklings reuse their voice clips from Splatoon.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

Inkling Girls and Inkling Boys are playable in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, each having their own statistics. The two Inkling characters were formerly separate on the select screen, but would later be consolidated together since the sixth wave of the Booster Course Pass. The default Inkling Girl has orange hair, while the default Inkling Boy has blue hair; their palette swap include green or pink Inkling Girls and purple or cyan Inkling Boys. The Inklings show off Splattershots during tricks or their victory animation, and become their squid form for another trick or when using the Feather. The Inklings have their own themed battle course, Urchin Underpass, as well as signature ATV bodies, Inkstriker and the Splat Buggy. Their emblem is an Inkling squid in the color of the Inkling on a black background. They have ink splashes on a background on their Standard Karts and Super Gliders, with a white background for Inkling Girls and a black background for Inkling Boys. Their horn sounds are sound effects from the Splatoon series. Inklings are middleweight characters; the girl is among the lightest middleweights alongside Cat Peach, female Villager, and Diddy Kong, whereas the boy is somewhat heavier, somewhat like Tanooki Mario and male Villager. The Inklings can drive underwater harmlessly, like other characters, unlike in the Splatoon series.

If an Inkling is a CPU, they will usually ride the Splat Buggy or Inkstriker with the Standard tires; however, they can sometimes ride the Standard Kart with Standard tires, or the Standard Bike with Monster tires.

The Inkling Boy is the 150cc staff ghost for Tour Tokyo Blur and Tour Bangkok Rush. Inklings are also the 200cc staff ghosts for Excitebike Arena and Dragon Driftway; the orange Inkling Girl is the staff ghost for Excitebike Arena, and the purple Inkling Boy is the staff ghost for Dragon Driftway.

One of Inkling Girl's animations originally resembled an obscene gesture;[9] it was changed in Ver. 1.1.0.[10]

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

Palutena's Guidance[edit]

  • Pit: Uh, are you guys seeing this? This girl/guy can transform herself/himself into an octopus!
  • Palutena: A squid, actually. This curious lifeform is an Inkling. They're squids who evolved to shapeshift into human form.
  • Viridi: Inklings rose to power 12,000 years after mammals went extinct.
  • Pit: EXTINCT?!
  • Viridi: Yep. The monkeys were eradicated! BOOYAH!
  • Pit: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait a second! If I'm fighting against an Inkling, then... WHAT YEAR IS IT RIGHT NOW?!
  • Palutena: Don't think about it too hard, Pit. It'll just make your brain sweat.
  • Pit: Twelve thousand years of missed meals? Aw man...
  • Palutena: Focus, Pit. If an Inkling hits you with an ink attack, you'll take extra damage until the ink evaporates. However, Inklings can't use ink attacks if their Ink Tank is empty. That's the time to strike!

Super Smash Blog bio[edit]

Attacks with a variety of weapons. Covering opponents with ink leads to more and more damage—plus these Inklings are really fashionable!

  • Inkling Boy (Splatoon): Inkling boys hail from the city of Inkopolis in the Splatoon™ game. They crave team-based competition and love to customize their gear before participating in the hottest sport in town, Turf War! Their hobbies include making messes, rocking the latest fashions, dancing, and spoiling the nefarious plans of their evil octopus archrivals, the Octarians! Like a boss!
  • Inkling Girl (Splatoon / Super Smash Bros.): Inkling girls hail from the city of Inkopolis in the Splatoon™ game.

  • Inkling Squid (Splatoon): In the Splatoon™ game, the main characters, Inklings, can instantly transform into squids! We're not sure what marvel of anatomy allows them to perform this majestic feat, but it sure is sweet. In squid form, Inklings can swim in any surface they've splattered with ink, even up walls! They can also hide from opponents by submerging in ink and keeping still. How cool is that?
