In Splatoon 3, your Amiibo can be used to unlock two special features. You can also sometimes unlock new gear by scanning your Splatoon Amiibos, so keep an eye out. On top of that, you can use existing Splatoon Amiibos to access some of these perks, so be sure to dust off those old figures. The first of these allows you to save your current gear, player settings, camera options, and Freshest Fits to your Amiibo. This lets you trivially change your character's settings and appearance with just a touch of one of the new figures.
