History
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Inklings make a small appearance as downloadable Mii Outfits and Headgears and the female Inkling is unlocked as a trophy in both versions after players download the Inkling Set DLC.
Super Mario Maker
Inklings appear as one of Mario's costumes in Super Mario Maker. There are three types of Inkling costumes: Inkling Boy, Inkling Girl, and Inkling Squid, the later 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 100 Mario Challenge.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Inklings are scheduled to appear in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Players can select both the girl and boy version of the Inkling, as well a variety of different colors. They are equipped with their splatter guns 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.
