Amiibo Callie & Marie 2-Pack

Product Information

Callie and Marie were from Calamari County, where they were born and raised. After they won Inkopolis' first annual Youth Folk-Singing Contest, they moved to Inkopolis where they began their career as announcers for Splatfests and musicians. Their given names in Japanese are derived from real-world species: "Aori-ika" or bigfin reef squid, and "Hotaru-ika" or firefly squid. When you first scan the amiibo, the character may note that you’re not quite fresh enough to get their rewards. Rescan it after winning some Turf War games and you’ll get the shoes. After winning more Turf War games, you’ll get the top, and then the headgear. The Squid Sisters appear as an assist trophy and spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where they sing one of two songs and zoom in the camera, making it easier for fighters to die. [17] [18] Later in the game's life, purchasable Mii costumes based on the duo were introduced in 2020. [19] In-game costumes for the duo were added to Super Mario Maker on July 8, 2016, alongside an in-game event. [20] Characters based on the duo were added to Animal Crossing: New Leaf on November 2, 2016. [21] Merchandise [ edit ]

The band's name in Japanese, " シオカラーズ" ( Shiokarāzu) is a portmanteau of the Japanese word シオカラ ( shiokara), which is salted squid that's fermented in its entrails, and the Japanese romanization of the word 'colors', or カラーズ, ( karāzu). It is mentioned numerous times in Inkopolis News dialogue that her favorite weapon class is the roller and her favorite special weapon seems to be the Bomb Rush.

Her tentacles, which are grayish white, are tied in a large bow on the right side of her head, with the ends wrapped around to the other side and curling up slightly at the ends with an unsaturated gray gradient. She has large, downturned eyes with gold irises and light brown pupils in the shape of a plus. Her eye markings end in small, slightly curved points, and her eyebrows are large and oval shaped. Her ears are slightly narrower and longer than those of the average Inkling, and on them she wears a pair of chunky milk-white earrings. To scan your amiibos, you just need to approach the huge amiibo box in Splatsville. From there you’ll get prompted to put the amiibo on the NFC reader. The group eventually reunited during Enter the Octobot King!. As the final phase of the battle with DJ Octavio began, Callie and Marie performed the Calamari Inkantation, revealing their true identities as the Squid Sisters, freeing Cuttlefish, and spurring Agent 3 to defeat Octavio. The two revealed the Great Zapfish's return on Inkopolis News, not disclosing their part in its rescue, and performed Maritime Memory over the credits. For her second outfit, which was shown in promotional art for the Japanese Grasshopper vs. Ant Splatfest, Marie wore a white yukata with a seashell pattern in lime green, navy blue, and dull purple. The calamari accessory had taken on a dark purple tint in addition to its existing colors.

Callie and Marie have remained a part of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, but their grandfather, Cap'n Cuttlefish, has retired from being the leader of the group, passing command over to Agent 3 from the first game, though he still takes time to recruit a New Agent 3 from Splatsville to help them deal with DJ Octavio's forces once more when the Great Zapfish disappears again. After DJ Octavio confesses that he's not behind the Great Zapfish's disappearance this time as someone, or something, has kidnapped the Octarian Army to use for their own dark plans, the Squid Sisters and Agent 3 serve as New Agent 3's support team as they investigate The Crater and Alterna to find out who really stole the Great Zapfish and is using the Octarians against them, and creating all the strange Fuzzy Ooze that is appearing around the Splatlands. Before Splatoon was released, the Squid Sisters were not idols, but were instead planned to be "shrine maidens". They were meant to transmit divine messages from God to the Inklings. This is why they were in charge of receiving and announcing Splatfests in the first game. [14] Some amiibo have discrepancies between their in-game appearances and the appearances of the figures:Their Spanish names are Mar and Tina. Mar is a Spanish given name and it means Sea, while Tina is a Spanish given name and it's also the word for tub. Also, their names make the word "Martina", a Spanish given name.
