Revision as of 13:36, July 2, 2017
amiibo are a line of interactive toys created by Nintendo, with the intent of being usable in some Nintendo games. For this, they use the 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.
So far, only two Pikmin-related amiibo have been released: one of Captain Olimar, as a fighter in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, and one of a group of five Pikmin.
Olimar amiibo
The Olimar amiibo is part of the sixth wave of the Super Smash Bros. series of amiibo in the US and Japan, and the seventh wave in Europe.
Because it is based on the Super Smash Bros. fighter, he and the Pikmin look like they do in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. 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.
This amiibo is compatible with the following games.

- In Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, the amiibo unlocks an Olimar-styled Yoshi. The Yoshi is stylized to look like Olimar, and the spikes on the back of its head have the same color as the first three Pikmin.
