'''amiibo'''{{Note|Officially stylized in all lowercase; plural is ''amiibo''.}} is a line of {{Wp|toys-to-life}} figures and cards made by [[Nintendo]] based on characters from its games. They use {{Wp|near-field communication}} (NFC) to send and receive information from a game and are used primarily to unlock content or features within games. All console entries in the {{SER}} since {{HHD}} have amiibo compatibility.

amiibo can be scanned on the [[Wii U]] via a labeled sensor on the GamePad, on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] via the [[Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/Writer]] or a sensor under the touch screen on New Nintendo 3DS models, and on the [[Nintendo Switch]] via a sensor under the analog stick on the right Joy-Con or the middle of the Pro Controller.

A line of {{SER|short|nolink}} amiibo figures and cards was released for {{HHD|nolink}} and {{aF}} from 2015 to 2016, and additional card series were later released for {{NLWa}} in 2016 and {{NH}} in 2021. Additionally, [[Villager (Super Smash Bros. series)|Villager]] and [[Isabelle]] received amiibo in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' line as fighters from the games.

A total of five numbered series of {{SER|short|nolink}} amiibo cards, alongside special series for {{NLWa}} and a [[Sanrio]] collaboration, were released from 2015 to 2021. Each card is based on a [[villager]] or special character and contains artwork of the character, their birthday, and, only in Series 1–4, a [[amiibo Card Battle|dice value]] and [[Resetti Bop|rock-paper-scissors sign]]. Including five promotional cards, there are a total of 509 {{SER|short|nolink}} amiibo cards.

The numbered and {{NLWa|short|nolink}} series are sold in blind booster packs, with packs sold in North America containing six cards, and packs sold elsewhere containing three cards. Each pack contains one special character card, with the rest being villagers.

==amiibo functionality in the {{SER|nolink}}==
===In {{HHD|short|nolink}}===
[[File:amiibo Phone HHD Artwork.png|thumb|right|180px|Artwork of the player using the amiibo phone]]
In {{HHD}}, amiibo can be scanned at the amiibo phone in [[Nook's Homes]], which is unlocked after the player designed [[Carrie]]'s house. Any Series 1–4 card or any {{SER|short|nolink}} figure can be scanned at the amiibo phone to recruit that character at any time to design a house for. This is the only way to design houses for [[special character]]s.

amiibo can also be scanned while in a client's house or [[facility]] to invite the character to that location. Villagers can have their clothing and headgear customized, and special characters have a limited selection of clothing that they can be changed between. Invited characters will remain in that location indefinitely unless asked to leave, and a maximum of five characters can exist in a single location at once. Scanning the amiibo again after inviting a character will save all furniture in the room to the amiibo, which can then be scanned in a different copy of the game in order to transfer furniture to other players to help fill their catalog.

Scanning the ''Super Smash Bros.'' Villager amiibo figure will unlock a  Villager Statue item in the catalog, and scanning the [[Isabelle]] amiibo unlocks the Isabelle Scooter item. Scanning these amiibo are the only way to acquire these items for use in the game.

===In {{aF|short|nolink}}===
amiibo are required for all game modes in {{aF}}. To play the [[Board Game]], at least one player must scan an {{SER|short|nolink}} amiibo figure and will play as that character. During the game, any players who used an amiibo must scan it each turn to role the die. After the game is over, the figure can be scanned again to save the earned [[Happy Point]]s to the amiibo.

Each [[Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival#Minigames|minigame]] requires the player to scan one or more amiibo cards to play. The dice values and rock-paper-scissors signs on each card are used in the [[amiibo Card Battle]] and [[Resetti Bop]] minigames, respectively. amiibo cards with saved houses from {{HHD|nolink}} can be scanned during the Board Game to have the saved house appear in the Board Game [[town]].

If the ''Super Smash Bros.'' Villager amiibo figure is scanned, a golden statue of the Villager appears in the center of the plaza.

===In {{NLWa|short|nolink}}===
[[File:NLWa Wisp.png|thumb|right|Wisp asking the player to scan an amiibo in {{NLWa|nolink}}]]
In {{NLWa}}, the player must first locate an [[empty lamp]] in their town. Once placed in a house the lamp can be interacted with to summon [[Wisp]], who provides access to most amiibo functionality in the game. Villagers can be invited to move into town by scanning their corresponding amiibo card. Special characters (using their figurines only) and villagers from the {{NLWa|short|nolink}} series will instead appear in their [[RV]] in the [[campground]] when scanned, from which furniture can be purchased in exchange for [[MEOW Coupons]]. The villagers can be spoken to and invited to move into town. The ''Super Smash Bros.'' Villager amiibo will also invite Wisp himself to the campground. 

Other features include the [[amiibo Camera]] available on the title screen, which places characters in augmented reality using the 3DS camera. It is compatible with all {{SER|nolink}} amiibo but not any others, even those that yield crossover villagers with Wisp. However, these villagers and any others can be used in this feature if they are a resident in the player's town, as well as players themselves. Also, in ''[[Animal Crossing Puzzle League]]'', each figurine grants [[Animal Crossing Puzzle League#Abilities_given_by_amiibo|a different special ability]], and crewmembers can be chosen for [[Desert Island Escape]].

The game is compatible with all {{SER|nolink}} amiibo figurines and cards from Series 1-4, the Welcome amiibo and Sanrio series, and promotional cards. Series 5 cards will only work if the character had an amiibo card in a prior series. The ''Super Smash Bros.'' series Villager and Isabelle figurines are also compatible.

A total of eight unique crossover villagers from other series and six Sanrio-themed villagers are available only by scanning their amiibo and inviting them to move into the player's [[town]]:

{{Columns-list|colcount=3|

}}

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
{{NH}} is compatible with all current {{SER|nolink}} amiibo. Unlike ''New Leaf'', amiibo from other video game series cannot be used. amiibo have three main functions in {{NH|short|nolink}}: spawning characters for photo shoots at [[Harv's Island#Photopia|Photopia]]; unlocking their respective posters; and bringing villagers to the [[Campsite (facility)|campsite]] with the opportunity to have them move in as residents.

====Photopia====
At [[Harv's Island#Photopia|Photopia]], scanning any {{SER|nolink}} amiibo will unlock the character's respective poster that will be available for purchase in the [[Catalog|Nook Shopping Catalog]]. For characters who appear in {{NH|short|nolink}}, scanning their respective amiibo also allows the player to spawn the character as a model for a photo shoot. Models cannot be spoken to, but interacting with them makes them face the player.

These characters from previous {{SER|nolink}} games cannot be spawned as models, but their corresponding posters may be unlocked:
{{Columns-list|colwidth=110px|

====Camping====
Villager amiibo can also be read once per day from the [[Nook Stop]]. The scanned villager will appear and speak to the player, during which they may be invited to put up a tent at the town's [[Campsite (facility)|campsite]]. When visiting the Campsite, the camper will give the player a [[DIY]] recipe for a specific item and ask the player to craft it for them. If the player gives the camper the item, they will thank the player by giving them clothing in return and hint that they would like to be invited again.

From the camper's third consecutive visit, the player may ask the camper to move onto their island as a resident. A camper can only be invited to move in if there is a vacant plot, or a maximum of ten villagers already live on the island. In the latter case the player will be prompted to choose a resident to move out so that the camper may move in. 

Scanning an amiibo for a special character (until version {{NHVer|2.0}}) or a villager already living on the player's island will result in a special dialogue explaining why they can't come. The special characters would have been available to speak with are the same as those that can be invited to Photopia in each update (see above). If the player scans the amiibo for a villager that is in the process of moving in, they will get a special "answering machine" message.

====The Roost====
[[The Roost]] is added to the [[museum]] with the {{NHVer|2.0}}. An amiibo phone is located on the back wall, it can be used to scan amiibo to make the scanned character visit the café. The scanned character may bring additional characters with them, for example scanning [[Mable]] may prompt her to bring [[Sable]] and [[Label]] along with her. Villagers who previously lived on the player's island will remark their life living there.

===={{HHP|short|nolink}}====
amiibo can be scanned in the {{HHP}} expansion to prompt the scanned character to visit the archipelago, allowing the player to design a vacation home for them. Scanning amiibo is the only way to be able to create designs for certain special characters, such as [[Isabelle]] or [[Timmy and Tommy]].
