The amiibo are not only fun to touch and look at, but also connect to the game. By touching the amiibo to the bottom screen of the Wii U GamePad or New Nintendo 3DS while playing compatible software, various experiences can be created within the game. For example, in "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U," the first compatible game, amiibo can appear in the game and fight in place of the player. The characters that are loaded into the amiibo grow as they fight, improving their attack and defense, learning various tactics, and customizing their special moves.
