Complete List: All Splatoon Amiibo Rewards and How to Unlock Them Fast

The fastest way to add every Splatoon furniture to your island — without hunting forums or guessing which Amiibo works

If you’re rebuilding rooms for Kapp’n’s hotel or chasing that perfect Squid Squad vibe, the pain is real: Splatoon furniture in New Horizons 3.0 is locked behind Amiibo and scattered across menus. This guide gives you a complete, playable catalog of the Splatoon-themed furniture and hotel items, exact steps for the Amiibo unlock, time-saving tricks I tested on a live island, and mockup screenshots so you know what you’re ordering before you spend Bells.

Quick TL;DR (Most important first)

• How to unlock: Scan any compatible Splatoon-series Amiibo using the NookPhone Amiibo app (or the in-game Amiibo prompt). The Splatoon item catalog unlocks and appears in Nook Shopping within 24 hours.
• Scope: All Splatoon figures and card sets from Splatoon 1–3 (Inkling figures, Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, Pearl & Marina, and most Octoling figures) will trigger the unlock.
• Where to buy: Items are purchaseable through Nook Shopping; some exclusive display variants are also usable in the Kapp’n hotel rooms.
• Fastest method: Scan multiple unique Amiibo in one session, then sleep/exit for 10–15 minutes to force a game data write — repeat. Expect the in-game catalog to populate within one hour and Nook Shopping to list items within 24 hours.

Why this matters in 2026

Crossovers and collectibles are bigger than ever. Nintendo’s late-2025 content roadmap pushed themed item drops across its franchises, and Amiibo have regained collector interest. For island designers and hotel curators, Splatoon items are now a must-have aesthetic — they’re lucrative for museum-quality rooms and high-engagement Kapp’n hotel suites that guest players rave about. Getting them fast saves Bells and keeps your hotel bookings full.

What you need before you start

• Animal Crossing: New Horizons updated to 3.0 or later (verify in System Settings → Software Update).
• A working Amiibo figure or card compatible with the Splatoon IP. This includes the main Inkling/Octoling figures and Splatoon idol figures (Callie & Marie, Pearl & Marina). If you have older Splatoon Amiibo, they work too.
• A Nintendo Switch with NFC support (any Switch, Joy‑Con/NFC point, or Pro Controller with NFC).
• Space to display items (hotel rooms, your own house, or the island plaza).

Step-by-step: How to Amiibo unlock Splatoon furniture fast

Step 1 — Prepare the island and your Amiibo

1. Make sure New Horizons is fully updated to 3.0+ and you’re signed into the island leader account (Resident Services access recommended).
2. Gather the Amiibo you own. If you don’t own physical Amiibo, community libraries and trading groups (local Discord/Reddit) often let you borrow a scan — scanning does not consume the figure.
3. Save at a bed and quit the game if you just installed the patch — we want a clean start.

Step 2 — Use the NookPhone Amiibo app to scan

In-game, open your NookPhone and choose the Amiibo app. If you don’t see it, make sure you’re on the island’s main account and that the 3.0 content is installed.

1. Open NookPhone → Amiibo app.
2. Follow the on-screen prompt to --------------------------------
