Splatoon 3, like many other modern Nintendo games, supports amiibos. These cool figurines unlock new items or offer some nice rewards like consumables.

The series has had specific amiibos since the original 2015 entry on the Wii U and the second game. The good news is that players can use all of them to gain rewards. But how can one scan them into the latest game, to begin with?

These figurines come with a unique radio frequency identifier (RFID) chip on the underside. They can be placed on the NFC Reader of a Nintendo system (to be specific, Wii U, 3DS, and Switch) while in-game to reap the benefits.

In Splatoon 3, players will need to visit the amiibo stand located in Splatsville. They can then scan each amiibo to see what they can unlock.
