amiibo refers to a line of figurines for the Wii U designed to work with games via the Wii U GamePad's near field communication technology. Several amiibo figurines will be released in conjunction with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and the title will be the first to use the figurines.
An amiibo can be scanned using the Wii U's gamepad, and when scanned, the character represented by the figurine can be used in-game. In-game, amiibos can be used to fight against or team up in battle with the player; the player can also watch an amiibo fight against CPUs. amiibos appear to be able to learn new fighting tactics, level up, and gain increased fighting statistics. The data in each amiibo figurine can be kept and saved.
Through the use of a specialised adapter, amiibo is also compatible with the Nintendo 3DS for use in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, and are also planned to be compatible for several other Nintendo games.
It has been confirmed that amiibo figurines will not be required to unlock any characters.[1]
