Nintendo has revealed a few extra details on what the Pearl and Marina amiibo does in Splatoon 2.

Besides becoming the player’s supporter, providing new gear, and the ability to take photos with Pearl and/or Marina, coordinates to a battle will be recollected by the player. If the player goes ahead with the battle, special gear featuring what both Pearl and Marina wear in the Octo Expansion can be won.

In addition, the Marina and Pearl amiibo unlock Marina Mode and Pearl Mode in Splatoon 2’s Arcade Machine. Playing in Marina Mode or Pearl Mode changes the sound effects and appearance of gameplay. Here’s a look:

「イカラジオ2」には楽曲の追加はないが、amiibo「ヒメ」では「ヒメモード」が、amiibo「イイダ」では「イイダモード」がそれぞれ追加される。
機能は同じだが、見た目と効果音が変わるぞ。
演奏中に切り替えることも可能なので、気分に合わせて使い分けよう。 pic.twitter.com/mvpOeyp0QY
