Nintendo characters can now come to life in many new ways as an amiibo figure. They are interactive figures that can communicate with specially designed amiibo-compatible games by touching them to the Wii U GamePad.

The amiibo can interact with amiibo-compatible games when the player touches them to the Wii U GamePad, reading data into games and storing data in the figurine. In Super Smash Bros Wii U, players can fight with or against the amiibo figures they own while leveling them up in the process.

They can then take them to another Wii U console and show how they have trained and customized their own amiibo figures. Different amiibo-compatible games will use the amiibo in different ways.

• Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
• Mario Party 10
• Mario Kart 8
• Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
• Yoshi's Woolly World
