{{DISPLAYTITLE: Talk:amiibo}}
The upper/lowercas problem returns. This is from an Italian magazine, I have seen it today (the day I receive it): <br>
ITA: ''MARIO E YOSHI COME SKYLANDERS. A Natale si potranno collezionare gli '''A'''miibo: riproduzioni dei personaggi dei giochi Nintendo'' [...] <br>
ENG: ''MARIO AND YOSHI LIKE SKYLANDERS. At Christmas you can collect '''A'''miibos: reproductions of characters from Nintendo games'' [...] <br>
Note that it isn't a journal, but a magazine for kids, so I don't think it depends from Nintendo, but decides to put the notice here. Well, now we don't know anymore wheter the "a" is uppercase or lowercase. I think that since the logo that I uploaded from the official Nintendo site is lowercase, I think that it is only an error and the "a" is officially lowercase. But this is like an enigm, I am not sure anymore. What do you think? {{User:Tsunami/sig}}
:It's still lowercase, evident from the logo and all. The writing, which doesn't matter if it's Italian, is questionable, too. "''Mario and Yoshi''" used to represent Nintendo characters and franchise? {{User:Mario/sig}} 15:41, 24 July 2014 (EDT)
::Well, later there is Pikachu, but I cut it. That article is very small, there are no images either. Probabily an error, let's keep it lowercase. Unless Nintendo starts to make it uppercase, thing that shouldn't happen. Also, I changed the name of this page. {{User:Tsunami/sig}}
:::I really think that we should make it capitalized, as a title. The logo itself isn't capitalized, because they want to be decorative in their logo font choice, but as learned from an early age, all proper nouns (titles, too!) should be capitalized. This is my honest opinion. Also, Wikipedia capitalizes Amiibo [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiibo here]. {{User:DaisyLuigi/sig}}

:Wiki doesn't support htm format. What to do... {{User:Tsunami/sig}}
<s>Find out how. Better staic gifs or jpegs?</s> Never mind {{User:Tsunami/sig}}
:Done! No need to thank me. I find out a much easier way. {{User:Tsunami/sig}}

== WHOA WHOA WHOA, SLOW DOWN ==

Donkey Kong in Mario kart 8 AND MARIO PARTY 10? Does it mention this on the page?[[User:Toadbrigade5|Toadbrigade5]] ([[User talk:Toadbrigade5|talk]]) 18:16, 1 November 2014 (EDT)
:Added a refneeded tag. Thanks for notificating. {{User:Tsunami/sig}}

== Wave 3 ==

http://nintendonews.com/2014/11/toon-link-amiibo-lucario-amiibo-revealed/

Its official. Check it.[[User:Toadbrigade5|Toadbrigade5]] ([[User talk:Toadbrigade5|talk]]) 00:42, 11 November 2014 (EST)
:Well, since I'm lazy to search for the boxes, I'll upload them without. Still thanks for noting. {{User:Tsunami/sig}}
::I haven't seen a box of them, so this should be fine [[User:WiiURob|- Robert ^.^]] ([[User talk:WiiURob|talk]])

== Order ==
How do you think we should order the amiibos? Per name (how I wanted to) or per series? {{User:Tsunami/sig}}

:Per name or per box no. [[User:WiiURob|- Robert ^.^]] ([[User talk:WiiURob|talk]])
::I'll order them by name, since it seems they look better. Feel free to revert it if you don't like it. {{User:Tsunami/sig}}

== "Mario Related Games" ==

Doesn't the fact that amiibos unlock a skin of Mario, Peach and Luigi for Ace Combat Cross Rumble 3D make it a "Mario related game" ?

See : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzJFQvkR_e0
: A Mario-related game is a game in the Super Mario series, or a series related to it, such as Donkey Kong, Wario, Yoshi, Captain toad, etc. [[User:WiiURob|- Robert ^.^]] ([[User talk:WiiURob|talk]])
::On that note maybe we should list any games that have UNIQUE Mario content related to amiibos (i.e. Hyrule warriors wouldn't count as it doesn't add anything Mario related) [[Special:Contributions/109.146.163.6|109.146.163.6]] 08:53, 27 November 2014 (EST)
:::Though I agree with WiiURob about games with Mario content being NOT Mario related, I think there should be a list of games having this. {{User:Tsunami/sig}}

== Proof? ==
Where is the proof that [[Luigi]], Cap'n Falcon, and all other figures from wave 2 will work on [[Mario Party 10|MP10]], [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker|cttt]], and [[Yoshi's Woolly World|yww]] --YoshiMaster1026!!
:While they won't work on YWW and CTTT, all non-playable MP10 amiibos give Mario Part Points. Playable characters-related amiibos are instead used for unlocking stuff in the game and more, since the games also writes data on them. {{User:Tsunami/sig}}

== Future Mario series amiibo contains Rosalina ==

You can see her amiibo in the trailer, not the one where he says nine amiibo, but when the players move around the board.

: And donkey kong too.

::It is said that their SSB amiibos will work for it. However, I think they will get their own Mario amiibo in the future, alongside the other characters...{{User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig}}
:::Maybe all the playable characters in MP10. Donkey Kong, Rosalina, Daisy, Toadette, Wario and Waluigi in Wave 2, I guess. If Birdo, Koopa Troopa, Dry Bones, Boo and Shy Guy are playable characters, I think they'll be in Wave 3. {{User:Infinite8/sig}} 08:09, 15 January 2015 (EST)

== Games that read and write/read only amiibos ==
I'm asking because nobody ever thought about this. Mario Party 10 does this, apparently. As I noted on the summary, the situation is different depending on the amiibo I'll scan. Say I have got a Mario amiibo and a Kirby amiibo, both with Super Smash Bros. data on them, and I want to use them in MP10. If I want to use Mario, I'll have to delete the SSB data first, since Mario is a playable character and is used on amiibo Party, so the game writes data. If I want to use Kirby instead, I don't have to download my SSB data because he isn't a playable character, so is not used in amiibo Party but only for earning easy Mario Party Points, so the game only reads data for it. So, the article stated it boths reads and writes data, but it's not always true, so I corrected by putting both images separated by a bold, x5 big slash. Is it good now or we should do something else? {{User:Tsunami/sig}}
:Well, Read and Write + read-only is kinda redundant, especially since you can find the answers to your question if you just look at the chart or look to the left. But people won't do that, because sometimes they're just looking for a impossibly quick answer. But, I don't like how it looks now, I think we should create a special image (sorta combination of the two) that would represent it.

::I know an image would have been more fitting... But this wiki doesn't like fan-made stuff, so if one would be ever be made, probabily it will be rejected. Anyways, if it's OK to have this fan-made image, I'd go for a yellow background and the rightmost arrow segmented. I never tried to make .svg files, though. {{User:Tsunami/sig}}

==Wave 5?==
This is baffling since there has not been any mention of a 5th wave. There has only been a 4th wave announcement, any 5th wave announcement will most likely come out after April or just before. Although i would like to see reference if there is any at all to this speculated 5th wave. - [[File:Cubeguy2ver.png|30px]][[User:Cubeguy|Cubeguy]][[User talk:Cubeguy|(talk)]]
:What? You mean Europe Wave 5? That's just Wave 4, but since Wave 3 was separated into two batches (Mega Man, Shulk, and Sonic in one, all others in the other) the numbers got all jumbled. [[User:Laikue|Laikue]] ([[User_talk:Laikue|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Laikue|contribs]]) 19:26, 25 January 2015 (EST)
::This technically doesnt classify them as different waves, i know there have been delays and mix ups and who-ha's but there still the same waves. - [[File:Cubeguy2ver.png|30px]][[User:Cubeguy|Cubeguy]][[User talk:Cubeguy|(talk)]]
:::No, you don't understand. Nintendo themselves ''said''  they were different waves. They themselves called them Wave 3 and 4, respectively. [[User:Laikue|Laikue]] ([[User_talk:Laikue|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Laikue|contribs]]) 20:32, 25 January 2015 (EST)
::::Ah, well its easy to get confused here since nintendo includes my country with europe, since wave 3 is still wave 3 and wave 4 is wave 4 here. - [[File:Cubeguy2ver.png|30px]][[User:Cubeguy|Cubeguy]][[User talk:Cubeguy|(talk)]]

== Pictures of the Mario Series? ==

I know we shouldn't show all of the amiibos but can someone find a group shot of the wave 1 Mario series figures? [[User:Guybrush20X6|Guybrush20X6]] ([[User talk:Guybrush20X6|talk]]) 16:47, 12 February 2015 (EST)
:[[Gallery:amiibo|Will this gallery]] do? {{User:Mario/sig}} 17:04, 12 February 2015 (EST)

== All same attributes, different design ==
I would like to note that in a statement of re-supplying amiibo they mention all amiibo of characters that share multiple series, such as Mario, luigi, etc. Will all have the same effects, unlocks, etc. in games. They just have different designs, also id like to point out that with the card variant of the characters this supports the aforementioned statement. - [[File:Cubeguy2ver.png|30px]][[User:Cubeguy|Cubeguy]][[User talk:Cubeguy|(talk)]]
