Amiibo

Amiibo (Stylized as "amiibo") is the name given to figurines designed for use with the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U has been shown to be able to use these figures.

A player of either game can place an Amiibo figurine on the bottom left side of the Wii U Gamepad, and the Amiibo will be able to fight against the player or assist them in battles. For 3DS use, the player is able to buy an add-on to use Amiibo (Or simply place them on the touch screen on the New Nintendo 3DS). The characters spawned by Amiibos have been compared to CPUs, as they both use AI. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U will allow players to train the figurines' to be able to learn new fighting tactics. The characters will adapt to your play-style learning how to play against you. They are also programmed to detect and use items depending on your usage patterns. For example, if you always play matches without items and introduce items to them, they will be "confused" and "unaware" on how to use them. They will use the same moveset, and have the same stats as the character they are modeled after. However, you are able to change their stats by "feeding" them items. This will change their base stats depending on what the piece of equipment is.
