'''amiibo''' are a line of interactive [[Merchandise|toys]] created by [[Nintendo]], with the intent of being usable in some Nintendo games. For this, they use the {{w|near-field communication}} chip installed on their bottom, which can be scanned by the [[Wii U]], the [[Nintendo 3DS]], and the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s NFC readers. Some games read the amiibo and do something in-game related to the amiibo's character, but there are games that only have one action, regardless of what amiibo the player uses. On top of that, some games simply read the data on the amiibo, while others can read and write to it.

Because it is based on the ''Super Smash Bros.'' fighter, he and the Pikmin look like they do in {{ssb4}}. In particular, they highly resemble the official artwork for Olimar. Olimar himself is in the center, and there is a bud [[Blue Pikmin]] to his left, a leaf [[Red Pikmin]] to his right, and a flower [[Yellow Pikmin]] behind him, to his right.
