'''''Super Mario Maker''''' is a game in the ''{{smw|Mario (series)|Mario}}'' series for the [[Wii U]], which allows players to create their own ''Mario'' game levels. {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Greninja}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} are playable in the game as alternate skins for {{smw|Mario}}, known as "{{smw|Mystery Suit|Mystery Suits}}", via their [[amiibo]] figures. While Mystery Suits typically change Mario's default ''{{smw|Super Mario Bros.}}'' sound effects to character-themed ones, the ''Pokémon'' skins keep the default sounds.
'''amiibo''' (Japanese: '''アミーボ''' ''amiibo'') are a line of interactive figures and cards by [[Nintendo]]. Each amiibo figure or card contains an NFC chip in its base, which allows it to interact with multiple games on both the [[Wii U]] and [[New Nintendo 3DS]] consoles using near field communication.


==External links==
Several Pokémon characters have been announced or released as part of the [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] line. These figures are intended for use with the eponymous game. They also unlock minor content in games such as {{smw|Super Mario Maker}}. In a [[Nintendo Direct]] on November 12, 2015, a card featuring Shadow Mewtwo, a bonus boss character from [[Pokkén Tournament]], was revealed to be included in first print retail copies of the game.

Revision as of 04:37, 5 March 2016

amiibo (Japanese: アミーボ amiibo) are a line of interactive figures and cards by Nintendo. Each amiibo figure or card contains an NFC chip in its base, which allows it to interact with multiple games on both the Wii U and New Nintendo 3DS consoles using near field communication.

Several Pokémon characters have been announced or released as part of the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U line. These figures are intended for use with the eponymous game. They also unlock minor content in games such as Super Mario Maker. In a Nintendo Direct on November 12, 2015, a card featuring Shadow Mewtwo, a bonus boss character from Pokkén Tournament, was revealed to be included in first print retail copies of the game.

An NFC reader/writer was released in October 2015 that can scan amiibo, allowing the Nintendo 3DS and 2DS to communicate with amiibo.[1]
