While a Bowser amiibo figurine hasn't been shown physically yet, gameplay in the trailer shows Bowser with the "FP" marker floating above him, which is indicative of an amiibo character.

I can understand why people don't like the alt costume heads for the metallic Mario amiibos.

OK, this exploded much farther than I expected. Bottom line, we need a better system. Using the Fire and Yellow Mario heads is problematic. To the uneducated reader, they wouldn't know they meant Gold and Silver Mario. Yellow isn't that big of a deal alone, but white in particular is problematic because Fire Mario has the potential to, and probably will eventually, get an amiibo. This also works into something Miles won't stop bringing up. Yes, the system has been in place for 6 weeks, but Silver Mario '''makes the system obsolete'''. This is something I have meant to say, but kept forgetting to. | |||
Now, as for the ways we can end this whole debacle... | |||
1. We could do Nutta's idea of having metallic versions of Mario. BUT he'd be expected to keep making these as new amiibo are announced. This could eventually be problematic, as he may just decide to quit on us.<br> | |||
2. We could just use the amiibo images themselves, as I did in my last edit. This would be the easiest solution and the best for maximum clarity, but as Miles had said, it's large and can potentially become ''too'' large.<br> | |||
3. We can do Toomai's unknown idea. It could be something we can agree on, but until it's revealed it doesn't hold any real weight.<br> | |||
4. We could do Toom's other idea of just putting a note saying something along the lines of "Silver and Gold editions of these amiibo are also compatible with ''Super Smash Bros. 4''" I feel that this is one of the better options as it doesn't lock us into anything and would require one swift edit.<br> | |||
5. We use the previously mentioned head icons to show Silver and Gold Mario, but as previously stated, this adds an unnecessary level of confusion to the uninformed reader.<br> | |||
6. We just don't list Silver or Gold Mario. They're technically "Mario - Gold Edition" and "Mario - Silver Edition" so it might be enough to just list Mario. I don't personally like this one, but it is an option.<br> | |||
7. I have another idea, but I need confirmation on it before I'm gonna bother saying anything. | |||
With all of this said, which do you guys think would work best? I'm leaning towards 4 until I hear Toomai's other idea/get confirmation on MY other idea. [[User:Laikue|Laikue]] ([[User talk:Laikue|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Laikue|contribs]]) 22:19, 18 May 2015 (EDT) | |||
:I was operating under the assumption that the approximations with pre-existing costumes was sufficient since any confusion would be cleared up upon clicking the interwiki link to Mario Wiki's amiibo page. I figured the average reader was savvy enough to click through that link if they were interested in the variant Mario designs, the same way as with the Yarn Yoshis.

::Well, you have to prepare for the worst (a.k.a. people too stubborn/stupid to click said link). Additionally, the regular everyday user looking for quick info wouldn't click over to Mariowiki. As I said, it worked with the Yellow head, but the Fire Mario head would just cause too much confusion/have to be changed anyway if and when Fire Mario comes out on his own. | |||

OK, seriously, the second a Fire Mario amiibo is announced, the system is gonna become null. Why not just leave the note? Honestly, we wouldn't have to keep up the page every time a new variant was announced, we wouldn't have to resort to using confusing head icons, and it literally takes no effort to read the note. | |||

::::::Fire Mario is not "very close" to Silver Mario, there's a large difference.

== On restocks == | |||
On a side note, restocks don't matter. Let me actually explain it though... | |||
1. Restocks cannot be kept track of. For instance, Lucario recently got an unannounced, minor, obscure, confirmed restock. These are not easy to keep track of and pile up fast.<br> | |||
2. Every amiibo (except for MAYBE Gold and Silver Mario) has an announced restock, has had a restock, or WILL have a restock. Making the statement pointless.<br> | |||
3. Restocks are implied for every product, unless they're specified to be limited edition.<br> | |||
Now, discontinuations, if and when they come, would be notable enough to mention, but seeing how no amiibo has been officially discontinued by Nintendo, we need not worry about it right now.

Actually I have another question, I remember on Reddit someone said that they'd found that Bayonetta 2 would have Amiibo compatibility. I also remember rumors of Xenoblade Chronicles X would have Amiibo compatibility too. Now I'm confused, is there any reason Nintendo opted out for Amiibo on these games?

Not only was Falco the one non-DLC amiibo announced today ''not'' shown in the "we're releasing in September" shot, but the page linked above gives his release as "This holiday" (ROB, G&W, Duck Hunt, and the Miis all say "September"). I don't think he's really part of the American wave 6. --[[Special:Contributions/24.17.78.180|24.17.78.180]] 19:26, 14 June 2015 (EDT) | |||

On the character lineup page on the official amiibo website, Falco and G&W are said to be scheduled for release in "June 2015" and don't have the "coming soon" note all other future amiibo do.

The Skylanders they confirmed could be twisted to work exactly like amiibo. This seems to very clearly imply that ''they work exactly like amiibo''. Actually, no, it doesn't imply. It says it.

We don't need to mention Skylanders, since it's not compatible with the Smash amiibo. We should list Mario Maker though. [[User:Laikue|Laikue]] ([[User talk:Laikue|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Laikue|contribs]]) 11:46, 17 June 2015 (EDT) | |||

::Yes, I watched it. While it's obviously ''implied'' that they will work, it is not ''confirmed'' that they will work. That distinction matters.

:::We don't need a full list, they specifically said (and showed) Wii Fit Trainer works (well, they didn't scan her in, but they showed her once she's been scanned in).

== amiibo numbers in the series == | |||
In my area, instead of displaying age 6+ on the top-right of the box, it shows a number for each character. Mario is No. 1, Yoshi is No. 3, and Ness is No. 34. I'm not sure if it says this on any part of the box in other regions. Is it okay that when we learn every amiibo's number in the series, we put it in that order? 1-12 is Wave 1, 13-18 is Wave 2, 19-29 is Wave 3, 30-37 is Wave 4, and so on. --[[User:ComJacker|ComJay]] ([[User talk:ComJacker|talk]]) 07:29, 8 July 2015 (EDT) | |||
