What Kind of Game Is This?

Increase the damage

of your enemies by

hitting them with

attacks. The higher a

fighter's damage, the farther that

fighter will be launched when hit.

1. Damage

Launching Enemies

In Super Smash Bros.™, characters

such as Mario™, Link™, and Kirby™

jump outside the borders of their

own series and do battle! Through

different kinds of attacks, they try

to launch each other into the air

and off the stage. With wireless

play, you can battle your friends

nearby or fight players from around

the world.

Even if you've been

launched away from

the stage, you can use

your jumps and other

moves to try to return. Continue the

fight!

attacks to send

opponents flying out of

the battlefield.

official website at

http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo.

This software supports

You can use compatible amiibo™

accessories by touching them to

the lower screen of your New

Nintendo 3DS or New Nintendo

3DS XL system.

Just a light touch on the lower

screen is enough for the system to

detect your amiibo. Do not press

the amiibo into the screen or

forcefully drag it across the screen.

Precaution about amiibo

data, open on the HOME

Menu and then reset the data

under amiibo Settings.

◆ An amiibo can be read by

multiple compatible software

titles.

◆ If you cannot restore corrupted

data for the amiibo, open

the HOME Menu and then reset

the data under amiibo Settings.

Using amiibo with a Nintendo

3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, or

Nintendo 2DS system requires

the Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/

Writer accessory (sold

separately).

Playing with amiibo

As amiibo battle, they will level up,

slowly becoming stronger. They will

learn based on how their opponents

fight, and you can feed them

equipment to give them new

abilities, allowing every amiibo to

grow into a unique fighter.

About amiibo

If you use an amiibo, the data saved

on it can appear in battles as an FP

(Figure Player). FPs can stand

against you as rivals or fight by

your side as partners.

◆ You cannot control FPs.

Connecting to Super Smash

Bros. for Wii U

You can share amiibo data

between both versions of Super

Smash Bros. That means that

an amiibo trained on Super

Smash Bros. for Wii U can be

used with the Nintendo 3DS

version, and vice versa.

◆ If your amiibo is set to work with

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, you

don't have to change any

settings to make it work for this

version.

Go to Games & More → amiibo, and

then touch your amiibo to the NFC

area to register the owner's Mii and

the amiibo figure's nickname and

then set character's appearance.

First-Time Setup

Things You Can Do with

amiibo

To make an amiibo appear in battle

as an opponent or a partner, press

or on the character-selection

screen in Smash Mode and then

touch the amiibo to the NFC area.

◆ If you touch several amiibo to the

NFC area, you can make your

amiibo fight each other.

Make Them Fight as FPs

To customize an amiibo, go to

Games & More → amiibo and then

touch it to the NFC area. You can

feed it equipment to change its

attack, defense, and speed stats

and change its special moves.

◆ When you feed your amiibo

equipment, keep an eye on the

equipment's positive and

negative stat values. They'll

affect the growth of your amiibo.

Customize Them

Saving and Deleting

amiibo Data

When you leave the character-

selection screen or the amiibo

menu, you will be given the

opportunity to save changes to the

amiibo. Touch the amiibo to the

NFC area to save the following data.

Saving Data

・Stats that have improved through

leveling up

・Newly learned fighting techniques

・Gifts acquired

Leaving the Character-

Selection Screen

This returns the amiibo to the state

it was in before you trained it. Go to

Games & More → amiibo, and then

press  +  +  to display the

amiibo figure reset screen. You can

then reset the amiibo figure's level

and memories by touching the

amiibo figure to the NFC area.

Resetting Your amiibo

◆ This will not reset the amiibo

figure's nickname, the owner's

Mii, or the character's

appearance.

◆ Once this data has been deleted,

it cannot be recovered, so be

careful.
