Some of the variations were gender-locked in previous games, but now, rather than having one equip that changes based on gender, you get both versions of the outfit as separate pieces. Pearl and Marina's official Amiibo come with their outfits from the Octo Expansion, which can be equipped as Gear for the player's Inkling or Octoling to wear around Inkopolis Square or in multiplayer matches. When equipped these items will grant you the special saver, swimming speed boost and faster respawn abilities.

Each Wave 1 amiibo features twenty challenges if the single-player mode, Octo Valley, has been completed.

Besides looking wicked cool, you'll also have access to the Ink Saver (Main), Run Speed Up, and Thermal Ink abilities to track down foes and take them out before they can recover their health.Off the Hook makes an appearance helping Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish by giving advice and commentary on Agent 8's tests.

After hearing this, Pearl agreed to form a band with her, which led to her fully establishing herself in the public consciousness upon the formation of Off the Hook. Not just because of the looks, but also because one could see the included abilities at a glance instead of reading the description. In concept art for Off the Hook's recording studio, Pearl was given a stool to stand on during news broadcasts, presumably to make her taller.

When three challenges in the same row are completed, the fourth challenge for that set is unlocked, being the boss for its corresponding area in Octo Valley. She helps to design custom stages for each Splatfest, normally utilizing Octarian technology such as ink switches and grind rails. When she wins a Splatfest, she often boasts how her team was better in the form of a rap, which she insists she makes up on the spot. Though it is a common misconception that Off the Hooks songs have English mixed in, that is false as seen in the official lyrics released with the Splatune 2 and Octotune CD's. She wears a white bandana that is wrapped around her head with light gray designs, a long, silver chain necklace with an infinity symbol pendant (similar to her zippers from her stage outfit) around her neck, a black wristwatch and black chain bracelet on her right arm, a white turtleneck crop top, light teal capris, and silver bowed, gray-white shoes.
