Origin
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 colored 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 cover), an orange female Inkling and a blue male Inkling. These two designs are also the basis of the Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl 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.
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.
- With their source game's debut in May 2015, the Inklings are the most recent characters represented in Smash in any capacity.
