Inklings are the basis for two paid [[downloadable content]] [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Wave 2|costumes]]. Nintendo also released two QR codes, [http://www.smashbros.com/images/dlc/image/qr_sample09.jpg here] and [http://www.smashbros.com/images/dlc/image/qr_sample10.jpg here], for those who wish to have the exact Miis used in the costume's advertising. The female Inkling is also the basis of a trophy.

The Inkling Outfit for {{SSB4|Mii Gunner}}s (with matching Inkling Wig headgear), and a standalone piece of headgear, the Inkling Squid Hat, are available as downloadable content. These outfits could be obtained for free with copies of ''Splatoon'' purchased from GameStop before June 13th, 2015. Otherwise, the costumes can be purchased from the eShop. The costumes were released on June 14th, 2015, and come with the Inkling trophy.

Inklings are creatures that can transform between a squid form and a humanoid form, which act as the players' avatars in ''Splatoon''. Battles between teams of Inklings involve using a variety of weapons to cover the map with their team's color of ink - which they can swim in while in squid form - while disrupting the other team's attempt to do the same.

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 [[inkipedia:File:Boxart.jpg|cover]]), an orange female Inkling and a blue male Inkling. These two designs are also the basis of the Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl {{s|inkipedia|amiibo}}. The Inkling Squid Hat, resembling an Inkling's squid form, appears to reference the design used for the Inkling Squid amiibo, which is also green and in squid form.

*The skin color for the Inkling costume changes to match the skin color used by the [[Mii]]s, resembling the ability to customize your Inkling's skin color in ''Splatoon''.
