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. All playable characters are represented. Some alternate costumes, such as male and female Corrin, have separate amiibo available. Others, such as Alph for Olimar, do not. 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. Any amiibo figure corresponding to a Smash character may be used, not just the ones released in the Super Smash Bros. amiibo series listed below. The in-game character can be modified by players with character customization options. 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 or New Nintendo 2DS, while version 1.0.8, released on June 14th, 2015, added support for an external NFC reader/writer accessory, enabling support for earlier 3DS and 2DS models. 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.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

amiibo compatibility will return in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. All amiibo figures compatible with Super Smash Bros. 4 will be compatible with Ultimate, and figures for newcomers Inkling, Daisy, and Ridley have also been announced.[5] New figures for veterans not present in SSB4 have also been confirmed, including Pichu and Ice Climbers,[6] as well as a figure for Wolf.[7] amiibo data from SSB4 can be transferred to Ultimate. In Japan, the existing lineup of SSB4 amiibo will be re-released in two waves, one on December 7, 2018, and the other in mid-January 2019.[8]

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.[14] 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 [15]; a later quarterly report from Nintendo claimed that over 5.7 million amiibo were shipped worldwide.

Demand for some amiibo far exceeded supply, leading to supply shortages. Pre-orders for Rosalina & Luma broke sales records for Target, with the figurines selling out in only 35 minutes.[16] amiibo from wave 4 caused such huge demand that the web servers for GameStop crashed when pre-orders became available[17]. GameStop also sold out of pre-orders for all Wave 4 amiibo in less than five hours.[18]

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., Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta amiibo are currently the only amiibo to have different versions in the Smash line.
    • The R.O.B. amiibo is the only amiibo with multiple versions featuring the same pose.
    • The Cloud and Bayonetta amiibo are the only amiibo with multiple versions featuring different costumes.
    • The Corrin amiibo is the only amiibo to have male and female versions.
  • 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 incidentally supports all amiibo.
  • If the player feeds an amiibo equipment, and then exits the amiibo menus without saving the changes 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.
  • Isabelle, Inkling, Daisy, Chrom and Young Link are the only characters with amiibo released before their respective Super Smash Bros. series amiibo.
  • Mega Man is the only third party fighter to have an amiibo outside the Super Smash Bros. series.
  • Pikachu's Detective Pikachu amiibo is not compatible with Smash 4, and as such is the only amiibo figure to depict a Smash character to not have any functionality in Smash.
  • If Charizard's amiibo is scanned in Ultimate, it will count as the Pokémon Trainer, but the default Pokémon will be Charizard.
  • amiibo that show characters in an Alternate Costumes will have their Figure Player default to that costume. This includes the "Player 2" versions of Smash Bros amiibo, but also amiibo from other lines such as Inkling Boy, Isabelle in her winter jacket, and Mario in his wedding outfit.
