Pikmin
Splatoon
This game features compatibility with all amiibo released at the time in the Splatoon series, and scanning one will make the respective figure appear within the game as a collectable treasure. Since the figure needs to match the amiibo, the game is only compatible with specific amiibo, later versions of the same character (such as Splatoon 2 variations or Inkling from the Super Smash Bros. series) won't be recognized and will only be considered a generic amiibo.
Compatible Splatoon amiibo, as they appear in the game, are:
Beside the Splatoon series, Mario amiibo and Animal Crossing amiibo are also compatible, as well as Olimar from the Super Smash Bros. series, and the game's own Pikmin amiibo.
