Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: What You'll Unlock With Every Amiibo

Every amiibo released is compatible with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate — and they all have a different use. You can unlock in-game fighters early, get Spirits, or create AI Fighters you can train. Each amiibo gives you something a little different, so we’re here to break down the entire list and share exactly what you’ll get when you scan any amiibo.

Right off the bat, you can start unlocking characters if you own the corresponding amiibo. Scan an amiibo by tapping it to the base of the right Joy-Con thumbstick. Hold it for a moment and the amiibo will be scanned — if you’re scanning one of the main fighters (Inkling, Mega Man, Bowser, Donkey Kong, etc) you’ll instantly unlock them for Smash Mode. The rest of the characters? Well, they’ll give you a variety of different rewards.
