Most of the first wave of amiibo for Super Smash Bros. 4, as seen at E3 2014.

amiibo (アミーボ, amiibo) are a line of interactive figurines available for usage with the Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo Switch[1] systems. By scanning an amiibo with near field communication technology, players can receive various effects in games. For the Wii U, amiibo are scanned using the Wii U GamePad. The New Nintendo 3DS models are also natively compatible with amiibo, while older 3DS models require an NFC adapter to use the figurines.[2] While the concept of figurines using NFC technology to interact with the Wii U was previously explored with Pokémon Rumble U, Super Smash Bros. 4 was the first game to feature the amiibo branding, acting as the debut and flagship title for the line.

As of September 2016, Nintendo reports that 39 million amiibo figurines have been sold, along with 30.6 million amiibo cards.[3]

In Super Smash Bros. 4

Super Smash Bros. 4 supports the use of amiibo, with its series of figurines representing the various characters available for play in the games. While all playable characters are to be represented, alternate costumes, such as Alph for Olimar, are not confirmed to be featured in the line. amiibo figurines are not required to unlock any characters or other features in the games, and they are completely optional for playing both versions.[4] amiibo can also be used on any copy of the game (even if the character has not been unlocked or downloaded), and the character on the amiibo is tied to the figurine, allowing for players to use its customized moveset and fighting style wherever they desire.

amiibo, when scanned by the console, allow the character represented by the figurines to be used in-game as a customized CPU opponent; the character can be modified by players with character customization options available in the game. Unlike normal fighters, amiibo fighters' stats are modified by "feeding" them equipment, including equipment the character cannot normally use; for example, an amiibo Mario can be given Hammer equipment, which would normally be impossible. There is a limit to how many times the amiibo can be fed before battling, however, and any equipment that's given to an amiibo is permanently lost. An amiibo can also "learn" up to three bonus effects from the equipment they are given. By default, the amiibo's stat total is capped at 120. As with other player-designed custom sets for characters, amiibo can be assigned a name and a specific alternate costume as well.

After this, they can be used as a specialized computer player, with the tag "FP" (Figure Player) above them. Figure Players start at level 1 like regular CPU players, but as they fight more often, they can continue to level up, to a cap of 50. As they gain levels, amiibo can potentially "learn" techniques from other characters: if a player frequently uses long-ranged, camping techniques, then the amiibo will also begin to emulate this behavior. This learning continues even after the 50 level cap is reached. In addition, an amiibo can gain improved fighting statistics, such as improved damage, knockback, and reaction times, the higher its level is. Finally, higher-leveled amiibo can adapt to individual matches faster than lower-leveled amiibo; if an opponent takes on an aggressive, rush-down style against an amiibo in one match, for instance, it will begin to make more use of defensive techniques like spot dodges and rolls. However, even high-level amiibo, may have their flaws on complex stages, like walking back and forth before fighting on stages like Gaur Plain.

amiibo also gain gold and other items while fighting, which are retrieved when checking them in the amiibo menu. Aside from gold, players may also receive custom parts or trophies. The longer the amiibo has fought, the more presents and gold are received. These items can be retrieved when the amiibo is scanned on its owner's console under the amiibo menu. While Super Smash Bros. for Wii U natively supports amiibo, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS was unable to do so at launch. Version 1.0.5, released on February 9th, 2015, added support for scanning amiibo if the game is played on a New Nintendo 3DS, while version 1.0.8, released on June 14th, 2015, added support for the NFC reader/writer accessory. The user must have one of these pieces of hardware to use amiibo with the 3DS version.

Owing to their ability to be "trained" and used on other consoles, amiibo tournaments have become a minor side-event at some Smash 4 tournaments.

For Smash, amiibo are being released in waves. Several staggered release dates have been announced, with each date containing a subset of the entire Smash lineup.

Future releases

Shinya Takahashi of Nintendo's SPD division confirmed at E3 2014 that the plan is to ultimately release amiibo figurines for all characters on the roster[6]. It was confirmed in the final Smash Nintendo Direct in December 2015 that the last three DLC characters, Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta will have amiibo; their release date has not been announced.

Sales

Over 710,000 amiibo from Wave 1 were sold prior to the introduction of Wave 2, with Nintendo also stating that sales were approximately equal to those of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.[7] amiibo of Link were said to be the most popular, with Mario and Pikachu being the second and third most popular, respectively. At the end of 2014, it was announced that amiibo had outsold Super Smash Bros. for Wii U by a factor of at least two to one, with over 2.6 million figurines being sold [8]; a later quarterly report from Nintendo claimed that over 5.7 million amiibo were shipped worldwide.

Pre-orders for Rosalina & Luma also notably broke sales records for Target, with the figurines selling out in only 35 minutes.[9] amiibo from wave 4 caused such huge demand that the web servers for GameStop crashed when pre-orders became available[10]. GameStop also sold out of pre-orders for all Wave 4 amiibo in less than five hours.[11] Palutena's amiibo sold out on Amazon after an hour.

Trivia

  • Originally at launch, Shulk's amiibo was exclusive to GameStop in North America, the same store his game, Xenoblade Chronicles, was exclusive to in its North American release.
  • The word "new" in the New Nintendo 3DS logo is stylized similarly to the amiibo logo.
    • The font itself is the Bauhaus 93 font, which is also used in many of the games in the Super Mario Bros. series.
  • The R.O.B. amiibo is currently the only amiibo to have different versions in the Smash line.
  • Mr. Game & Watch's amiibo comes with multiple unique poses that can replace the original pose. One is based on his official SSB4 artwork, as are other amiibo; others feature his parachute from Fire, getting a 9 using Judge, and a bell-ringing pose resembling his side taunt and artwork pose from Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
    • Amongst his four poses, the pose depicting his number 9 Judge is the only pose that was never used as an in game trophy pose for any game in the series.
  • Mewtwo's amiibo released in Europe on October 23rd, 2015, one year to the day after it was confirmed to be a downloadable character during the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza.
  • Since Pokémon Rumble U can use anything with NFC technology to briefly summon a random helper Pokémon, it unintentionally supports all amiibo.
  • If the player were to feed an amiibo equipment, and then exit without saving to the amiibo, that equipment will disappear anyway. The only way to get it back is to quit the game without letting the game save.
