What Kind of Game Is This?

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.

Launching Enemies

1. Damage

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.

2. Smash Attacks

Use powerful smash attacks to send opponents flying out of the battlefield.

Recovering

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!

accessories by touching them to the lower screen of your New

Nintendo 3DS or New Nintendo

3DS XL system.

Using near-field communication

(NFC), amiibo can connect to compatible software to open brandnew ways to interact with your favorite Nintendo games. For more information, please visit Nintendo's official website at http://www.nintendo.com/amiibo.

◆ Only one software's game data can be saved on an amiibo at a time. In order to create new game data on an amiibo that has existing data from another game, you must first delete the existing game data. To delete your game

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 on 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).

Precaution about amiibo

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.

21

Playing with 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.

About 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.

First-Time Setup

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.

◆ 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.

Things You Can Do with amiibo

Make Them Fight as FPs

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.

Customize Them

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.

Saving and Deleting amiibo Data

Saving Data
