The process is really simple - enter the amiibo screen on the game’s main menu, tap your figure and it’ll be unlocked for use in any more from then on. If you’re playing on Nintendo Switch, there is some expanded amiibo functionality, as well as the ability to unlock a Splatoon costume with its line of figures.
