A Friend Code is a unique 12-digit code generated once the player has first logged onto Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection on their Wii or DS. It is used to identify friends for online play. Each Friend Code differs between games. To prevent identity theft, Friend Codes along with the Wi-Fi ID on a DS are reset when Wi-Fi Connection is used on a DS foreign from the original one. Wi-Fi information can be transferred in the case of replacing an old DS. Players with friend codes usually have more liberties than players without; such as voice chat or co-op play.
To register another player's Friend Code, both recipient and transmitter must manually type it in. This is to preserve each players' identity and privacy.
