'''amiibo''' is a toys-to-life platform by [[Nintendo]] that launched in November 2014. It consists of a wireless communications and storage protocol for connecting figurines and cards to the [[Wii U]], [[Nintendo 3DS]], and [[Nintendo Switch]] video game consoles. amiibo functionality can be used directly with these consoles by using their built-in NFC readers, though the original Nintendo 3DS and [[Nintendo 3DS XL]] require an official NFC adapter to also be used. amiibo are typically compatible with multiple different games and will unlock bonus content or affect gameplay once read.

'''amiibo'''{{Note|Officially stylized in all lowercase; plural is ''amiibo''.}} is a line of {{Wp|toys-to-life}} figures and cards made by [[Nintendo]] based on characters from its games. They use {{Wp|near-field communication}} (NFC) to send and receive information from a game and are used primarily to unlock content or features within games. All console entries in the {{SER}} since {{HHD}} have amiibo compatibility.
  
−
amiibo was first introduced to the {{SER}} with figures released for {{AMF}} from 2015 to 2017, and four series of cards for {{HHD}}, although the figures and cards are compatible with both games. Two additional series of cards were made available for the launch of {{NLWa}} in 2016, which introduces amiibo compatibility into {{NL|short}} and can also utilise previously released cards and figurines. Selected amiibo from other series can scanned to unlock special crossover villagers based on the ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda]]'', ''[[Inkipedia:Splatoon|Splatoon]]'', and ''Monster Hunter'' series.  
+
A line of {{SER|short|nolink}} amiibo figures and cards was released alongside {{HHD|nolink}} and {{AMF}} in 2015, and additional card series were later released for {{NLWa}} and {{NH}}. Additionally, [[Villager (Super Smash Bros. series)|Villager]] and [[Isabelle]] received amiibo in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' line as fighters from the games.
  
−
{{NH}} is compatible with all previously released ''Animal Crossing'' amiibo, but not those from other series. While it is unknown exactly when the cards were discontinued, Nintendo announced in September 2020 that series 1-4 will be returning to select retailers in November 2020 for a retail price of US$5.99 per pack,<ref>{{Cite web|author=Nintendo of America|date=September 25, 2020|url=https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1309482818397974528|site=Twitter|retrieved=September 25, 2020}}</ref> possibly due to increased demand as a result of the success of {{NH}}. The Sanrio series of amiibo cards were rereleased on March 26 in North America<ref>{{Cite web|author=@NintendoAmerica|url=https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1354074126521167873|site=Twitter|retrieved=January 26, 2021}}</ref> and Japan<ref>{{Cite web|author=@Nintendo|url=https://twitter.com/Nintendo/status/1354074197140656132|site=Twitter|retrieved=January 26, 2021}}</ref> and on April 8 in the UK.<ref>{{Cite web|author=@tulipbayluke|url=https://twitter.com/tulipbayluke/status/1380074361458204694|site=Twitter|retrieved=April 15, 2021}}</ref> This was the first time the cards were released in North America. In September 2021, after the reveal of an October ''Animal Crossing'' Direct, the official ''Animal Crossing'' Twitter account announced that a fifth series of amiibo cards (not including the {{NLWa|short|nolink}} series) would be released at a later date.<ref>{{Cite web|author=@animalcrossing|url=https://twitter.com/animalcrossing/status/1441172760433070082?s=20|site=Twitter|retrieved=September 23, 2021}}</ref>

−
{{HHD|short}} is the first title to support the use of amiibo, and is compatible with the first four series of cards and all currently available figurines. The game is not compatible with the {{NLWa|short|nolink}} series or Sanrio series of cards, and attempting to scan these amiibo will freeze the game. This includes [[Carrie]]'s amiibo card, despite her being a potential client.
+
In {{HHD}}, amiibo can be scanned at the amiibo phone in [[Nook's Homes]], which is unlocked after the player designs houses for a few<sup>[''how many?'']</sup> clients. Any Series 1–4 card or any {{SER|short|nolink}} figure can be scanned at the amiibo phone to recruit that character at any time to design a house for. This is the only way to design houses for [[special character]]s.
  
−
After completing a few remodels for [[Nook's Homes]], [[Lyle]] will bring an [[File:Amiibo icon black.png|20px]] amiibo phone into the office for the player to use. The phone allows an amiibo to be scanned, who will be contacted by the player using the phone. The player will then be able to recruit that character as a client and perform a remodel for their house. This is the only way to perform remodels for [[special character]]s, as they will never become clients during regular gameplay.  
+
amiibo can also be scanned while in a client's house or [[facility]] to invite the character to that location. Villagers can have their clothing and headgear customized, and special characters have a limited selection of clothing that they can be changed between. Invited characters will remain in that location indefinitely unless asked to leave, and a maximum of five characters can exist in a single location at once. Scanning the amiibo again after inviting a character will save all furniture in the room to the amiibo, which can then be scanned in a different copy of the game in order to transfer furniture to other players to help fill their catalog.

Scanning the ''Super Smash Bros.'' Villager amiibo figure will unlock a  Villager Statue item in the catalog, and scanning the [[Isabelle]] amiibo unlocks the Isabelle Scooter item. Scanning these amiibo are the only way to acquire these items for use in the game.

===In {{AMF|short|nolink}}===
 +
amiibo are required for all game modes in {{AMF}}. To play the [[Board Game]], at least one player must scan an {{SER|short|nolink}} amiibo figure and will play as that character. During the game, any players who used an amiibo must scan it each turn to role the die. After the game is over, the figure can be scanned again to save the earned [[Happy Point]]s to the amiibo.
  
−
==={{NLWa|nolink}}===
+
Each [[Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival#Minigames|minigame]] requires the player to scan one or more amiibo cards to play. The dice values and rock-paper-scissors signs on each card are used in the [[amiibo Card Battle]] and [[Resetti Bop]] minigames, respectively. amiibo cards with saved houses from {{HHD|nolink}} can be scanned during the Board Game to have the saved house appear in the Board Game [[town]].

In {{NLWa|short}}, the player must first locate an [[Empty Lamp]] in their town. Once placed in a house the lamp can be interacted with to summon [[Wisp]], who provides access to most amiibo functionality in the game. Villagers can be invited to move into town by scanning their corresponding amiibo card. Special characters (using their figurines only) and villagers from the {{NLWa|short|nolink}} series will instead appear in their [[RV]] in the [[campground]] when scanned, from which furniture can be purchased in exchange for [[MEOW Coupons]]. The villagers can be spoken to and invited to move into town. The ''Super Smash Bros.'' Villager amiibo will also invite Wisp himself to the campground.

If the ''Super Smash Bros.'' Villager amiibo figure is scanned, a golden statue of the Villager appears in the center of the plaza.

Other features include the [[amiibo Camera]] available on the title screen, which places characters in augmented reality using the 3DS camera. It is compatible with all {{SER|nolink}} amiibo but not any others, even those that yield crossover villagers with Wisp. However, these villagers and any others can be used in this feature if they are a resident in the player's town. as well as players themselves. Also, in ''[[Animal Crossing Puzzle League]]'', each figurine grants [[Animal Crossing Puzzle League#Abilities_given_by_amiibo|a different special ability]], and crewmembers can be chosen for [[Desert Island Escape]].

The scanned character may bring additional characters with them, for example scanning [[Mable]] may prompt her to bring [[Sable]] and [[Label]] along with her. Villagers who previously lived on the player's island will remark their life living there.

*The amiibo cards introduced in Series 5 have a subtle redesign compared to the previous series. The background has been changed from blocks of different items to tropical leaves, and the species icon and card number are now both in rounded squares, rather than the species icon being in a square and the card number being in a circle. Most noticeably, the cards lack dice or hand-sign values, due to being used for the ''amiibo Festival'' minigames "amiibo Dice Battle" and "Resetti Bop," respectively; this wave is incompatible with ''amiibo Festival''.

Logo

amiibo[nb 1] is a line of toys-to-life figures and cards made by Nintendo based on characters from its games. They use near-field communication (NFC) to send and receive information from a game and are used primarily to unlock content or features within games. All console entries in the Animal Crossing series since Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer have amiibo compatibility.

A line of Animal Crossing amiibo figures and cards was released alongside Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer and Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival in 2015, and additional card series were later released for Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Additionally, Villager and Isabelle received amiibo in the Super Smash Bros. line as fighters from the games.

Animal Crossing amiibo

Figures

Three waves of Animal Crossing amiibo—containing a total of 16 figures based on special characters—were released from 2015 to 2016. Additionally, two amiibo in the Super Smash Bros. line were released for Animal Crossing fighters in the games.

Wave 1

The first wave of Animal Crossing amiibo figures was released alongside Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival on November 13, 2015 in North America, November 20, 2015 in Europe, and November 21, 2015 in Japan and Australia.[1] It consists of eight figures:

The Isabelle - Winter Outfit and Digby amiibo were bundled with all copies of Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival. In North America, these two figures were initially exclusive to the bundle, but they were eventually released separately on June 10, 2016 and March 18, 2016, respectively.[2][3] In North America, the Lottie amiibo was originally exclusively sold at Target[4] but became available at other retailers about a month later.

Wave 2

The second wave of Animal Crossing amiibo figure was released on December 17, 2015 in Japan, January 22, 2016 in North America, January 29, 2016 in Europe, and January 30, 2016 in Australia.[5][6][7][8] It consists of four figures:

Wave 3

The third wave of Animal Crossing amiibo figure was released on March 18, 2016 in North America[nb 2] and Europe, March 19, 2016 in Australia, and March 24, 2016 in Japan.[9][10][11][12] It consists of four characters:

Super Smash Bros. amiibo

An amiibo figure for Villager was released alongside Super Smash Bros. for Wii U on November 21, 2014 in North America, November 28, 2014 in Europe, November 29, 2014 in Australia, and December 6, 2014 in Japan.[13] A figure for Isabelle was released on July 19, 2019 in Japan, Europe, and Australia, and July 26, 2019 in North America.[14]

Cards

For a list of Animal Crossing amiibo cards, see list of amiibo cards.

A total of five numbered series of Animal Crossing amiibo cards, alongside special series for Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo and a Sanrio collaboration, were released from 2015 to 2021. Each card is based on a villager or special characters and contains artwork of the character, their birthday, and, only in Series 1–4, a dice value and rock-paper-scissors sign. Including four promotional cards, there are a total of 508 Animal Crossing amiibo cards.

The numbered and Welcome amiibo series are sold in blind booster packs, with packs sold in North America containing six cards, and packs sold elsewhere containing three cards. Each pack contains one special character card, with the rest being villagers. After their initial release and discontinuation, Series 1–4 were re-released in November 2020 to promote Animal Crossing: New Horizons.[15]

The line of Animal Crossing amiibo cards is a spiritual successor to the e-Reader cards for the first-generation Animal Crossing games.

  • Japan — sold exclusively at 7-Eleven in blind booster packs of two cards.[24]
  • Europe — sold in booster packs containing all six cards.[24]
  • North America — sold exclusively at Target in booster packs containing all six cards.[24]

Promotional cards

Four promotional cards were distributed from 2015 to 2016:

amiibo functionality in the Animal Crossing series

In Happy Home Designer

Artwork of the player using the amiibo phone

In Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, amiibo can be scanned at the amiibo phone in Nook's Homes, which is unlocked after the player designs houses for a few[how many?] clients. Any Series 1–4 card or any Animal Crossing figure can be scanned at the amiibo phone to recruit that character at any time to design a house for. This is the only way to design houses for special characters.

amiibo can also be scanned while in a client's house or facility to invite the character to that location. Villagers can have their clothing and headgear customized, and special characters have a limited selection of clothing that they can be changed between. Invited characters will remain in that location indefinitely unless asked to leave, and a maximum of five characters can exist in a single location at once. Scanning the amiibo again after inviting a character will save all furniture in the room to the amiibo, which can then be scanned in a different copy of the game in order to transfer furniture to other players to help fill their catalog.

Scanning the Super Smash Bros. Villager amiibo figure will unlock a Villager Statue item in the catalog, and scanning the Isabelle amiibo unlocks the Isabelle Scooter item. Scanning these amiibo are the only way to acquire these items for use in the game.

In amiibo Festival

amiibo are required for all game modes in Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival. To play the Board Game, at least one player must scan an Animal Crossing amiibo figure and will play as that character. During the game, any players who used an amiibo must scan it each turn to role the die. After the game is over, the figure can be scanned again to save the earned Happy Points to the amiibo.

Each minigame requires the player to scan one or more amiibo cards to play. The dice values and rock-paper-scissors signs on each card are used in the amiibo Card Battle and Resetti Bop minigames, respectively. amiibo cards with saved houses from Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer can be scanned during the Board Game to have the saved house appear in the Board Game town.

If the Super Smash Bros. Villager amiibo figure is scanned, a golden statue of the Villager appears in the center of the plaza.

In Welcome amiibo

Wisp asking the player to scan an amiibo in Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo, the player must first locate an Empty Lamp in their town. Once placed in a house the lamp can be interacted with to summon Wisp, who provides access to most amiibo functionality in the game. Villagers can be invited to move into town by scanning their corresponding amiibo card. Special characters (using their figurines only) and villagers from the Welcome amiibo series will instead appear in their RV in the campground when scanned, from which furniture can be purchased in exchange for MEOW Coupons. The villagers can be spoken to and invited to move into town. The Super Smash Bros. Villager amiibo will also invite Wisp himself to the campground.

Other features include the amiibo Camera available on the title screen, which places characters in augmented reality using the 3DS camera. It is compatible with all Animal Crossing series amiibo but not any others, even those that yield crossover villagers with Wisp. However, these villagers and any others can be used in this feature if they are a resident in the player's town. as well as players themselves. Also, in Animal Crossing Puzzle League, each figurine grants a different special ability, and crewmembers can be chosen for Desert Island Escape.

The game is compatible with all Animal Crossing series amiibo figurines and cards from Series 1-4, the Welcome amiibo and Sanrio series, and promotional cards. Series 5 cards will only work if the character had an amiibo card in a prior series. The Super Smash Bros. series Villager and Isabelle figurines are also compatible.

A total of eight unique crossover villagers from other series and six Sanrio-themed villagers are available only by scanning their amiibo and inviting them to move into the player's town:

The Legend of Zelda series

  • W. Link NL Villager Icon.png W. Link, obtained through Link, Zelda, and Young Link from the Super Smash Bros. series, Wolf Link, Link (Archer), Link (Twilight Princess), Link (Skyward Sword), or Link (Link's Awakening) from The Legend of Zelda series.
  • Medli NL Villager Icon.png Medli, obtained through Toon Link from the Super Smash Bros. series, Toon Link (The Wind Waker), Zelda (The Wind Waker), Zelda (Breath of the Wild), or Zelda and Loftwing from The Legend of Zelda series.
  • Epona NL Villager Icon.png Epona, obtained through Sheik from the Super Smash Bros. series, Link (Ocarina of Time), Link (Rider), or Link (Majora's Mask) from The Legend of Zelda series.
  • Ganon NL Villager Icon.png Ganon, obtained through Ganondorf from the Super Smash Bros. series, Link (The Legend of Zelda), Guardian, or Bokoblin from The Legend of Zelda series.

Splatoon series

  • Inkwell NL Villager Icon.png Inkwell, obtained through any variant of the Inkling Boy, Girl, or Squid amiibo from the Splatoon series. (The Octoling amiibo are not compatible.)
  • Cece NL Villager Icon.png Cece, obtained through the Callie amiibo from the Splatoon series.
  • Viché NL Villager Icon.png Viché, obtained through the Marie amiibo from the Splatoon series.

Monster Hunter series

  • Felyne NL Villager Icon.png Felyne, obtained through any of the six amiibo from the Monster Hunter Stories series. (Monster Hunter Stories 2 or Monster Hunter Rise amiibo are not compatible.)

Sanrio series

The following villagers are based on characters and series created by Sanrio and will never move into town unless their card from the limited edition Sanrio series of amiibo is scanned and they are invited to move:

In New Horizons

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is compatible with all current Animal Crossing series amiibo. Unlike New Leaf, amiibo from other video game series cannot be used. amiibo have three main functions in New Horizons: spawning characters for photo shoots at Photopia; unlocking their respective posters; and bringing villagers to the campsite with the opportunity to have them move in as residents.

Photopia

At Photopia, scanning any Animal Crossing series amiibo will unlock the character's respective poster that will be available for purchase in the Nook Shopping Catalog. For characters who appear in New Horizons, scanning their respective amiibo also allows the player to spawn the character as a model for a photo shoot. Models cannot be spoken to, but interacting with them makes them face the player.

These characters from previous Animal Crossing series games cannot be spawned as models, but their corresponding posters may be unlocked:

The following amiibo can only be summoned as models if the update they are introduced to the game with is installed:

Camping

Villager amiibo can also be read once per day from the Nook Stop. The scanned villager will appear and speak to the player, during which they may be invited to put up a tent at the town's campsite. When visiting the Campsite, the camper will give the player a DIY recipe for a specific item and ask the player to craft it for them. If the player gives the camper the item, they will thank the player by giving them clothing in return and hint that they would like to be invited again.

From the camper's third consecutive visit, the player may ask the camper to move onto their island as a resident. A camper can only be invited to move in if there is a vacant plot, or a maximum of ten villagers already live on the island. In the latter case the player will be prompted to choose a resident to move out so that the camper may move in.

Scanning an amiibo for a special character (until version 2.0) or a villager already living on the player's island will result in a special dialogue explaining why they can't come. The special characters would have been available to speak with are the same as those that can be invited to Photopia in each update (see above). If the player scans the amiibo for a villager that is in the process of moving in, they will get a special "answering machine" message.

The Roost

The Roost is added to the museum with the 2.0. An amiibo phone is located on the back wall, it can be used to scan amiibo to make the scanned character visit the café. The scanned character may bring additional characters with them, for example scanning Mable may prompt her to bring Sable and Label along with her. Villagers who previously lived on the player's island will remark their life living there.

Happy Home Paradise

amiibo can be scanned in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise expansion to prompt the scanned character to visit the archipelago, allowing the player to design a vacation home for them. Scanning amiibo is the only way to be able to create designs for certain special characters, such as Isabelle or Timmy and Tommy.
