Polygon staff in particular ranked two notable Inkling characters, the "Squid Sisters" Callie and Marie, among the 70 best video game characters of the 2010s decade they were described as an example of how Nintendo elevated "anthropomorphized squids and made them into pop sensations". The Inklings have appeared in multiple "top" character lists. The integration of the Inklings' physiological characteristics into the gameplay mechanics of the Splatoon series have been praised, as it allowed players to explore a unique tactical concept. The Inklings' aesthetic design have received a positive critical reception from multiple video game publications following the release of the first Splatoon, and have since become a popular subject for cosplay activities. Reception Ĭosplayers portraying Inklings at Montreal Comiccon 2015 Inkling-inspired clothing was also introduced to Miitomo. A costume based on girl Inklings are featured in the Taiko no Tatsujin series. Inkling outfits appear in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Ultimate and as drivers in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Inklings have also appeared as fighters in Super Smash Bros. Inklings originally appeared as playable characters in Splatoon, later appearing in Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3. Their mobility in humanoid form is rather sluggish, rendering them vulnerable on un-inkable surfaces. All of their weaponry is also purely ink-based, rendering their attacks useless against any ink-proof coating, and they lack any combat abilities without a weapon, sub, or special. They are also relatively frail as they cannot sustain a lot of damage before being splatted. Inklings have a glaring weakness to water they are splatted instantly when more than half of their body is submerged in it. Inklings also have the ability to revive after being splatted through the use of respawn points. Inklings also have a variety of special and sub weapons that come with each main weapon ranging from shields and bombs to tactical airstrikes and ink-based bazookas. Each weapon has different attributes that affect mobility, ink output, and splatting power. In humanoid form, Inklings can splatter a special type of colored ink by using various weapons, including guns, rollers, buckets, and paintbrushes. Their increased mobility in squid form is further enhanced by their squid roll and surge abilities that grant them bursts of movement with added protection. As squids, they are able to hide in and swim through ink. As humanoids, they are able to wield weapons. Inklings can switch between humanoid and squid forms. The Inklings were designed to be teenagers since the developers wanted to give the image of a strong, rebelling character, while having the attitude of being "cool". When designing the Inklings the designers centered around it being female at first, which they stated was because there were not many other female leads in Nintendo games at the time. The "missile-like" shape of their head was a good complement to the Inklings' movement according to the development team. Designers came up with the idea for squid-like Inklings that were able to hide and swim in ink. However, the idea was concerning to the designers, who felt that there was a clash between the characters' appearances and the ink-based gameplay. This choice was considered because rabbits are highly territorial animals by nature. The player characters of Splatoon were originally anthropomorphic rabbits with the ability to burrow through solid surfaces they splattered with ink. They have also made crossovers as playable appearances in other Nintendo games, such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. Inklings are a fictional species of terrestrial squid and are the primary playable characters in the Splatoon video game series by Nintendo. ![]()
