Amiibo are interactive figures that interact with your games. When you scan an amiibo while playing compatible Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS, or Wii U software, you can discover surprising new features. Amiibo have different effects depending on the game: you can unlock new modes, weapons, or character customizations, or enhance your amiibo's abilities to make them a perfect partner or a strong opponent. In certain compatible games, you gain access to entirely new missions with amiibo.
