The highly anticipated release of Super Mario 3D World and Bowser’s Fury on Nintendo Switch is just around the corner, and fans are gearing up to explore the exciting new features of the game. One such feature is the compatibility of all amiibo with the game, which can give players a significant edge in their gameplay.
In this post, we are going to discuss all the details you need to know before you start playing with amiibo in Super Mario 3D World and Bowser’s Fury. So, let’s dive in!
How to Use Amiibo in Super Mario 3D World and Bowser’s Fury
Regardless of which section of the game you’re playing, you can activate the amiibo by holding down the left arrow on the Joy-Con d-pad while playing through a course. This will cause the amiibo symbol to pop up. Then, tap the amiibo on the NFC touchpoint on the right Joy-Con stick.
The vast majority of amiibo scanned in either Super Mario 3D World or Bowser’s Fury section of the game will cause a 1-up mushroom or a random Super Mario 3D World item to appear. This will give you a little bit of an edge in your gameplay.
New Amiibo Coming Out
On the same day as the release of the game, two new amiibo will be released: Cat Mario and Cat Peach. If you tap the Cat Mario amiibo, you will become an invincible white Cat Mario. On the other hand, if you tap on the Cat Peach amiibo, you will get a random power-up item.
Using Amiibo in Bowser’s Fury Section of the Game
In the Bowser’s Fury section of the game, you can use two additional amiibo: the Bowser amiibo and the Bowser Jr. amiibo. If you tap Bowser, you will make Fury Bowser appear, and this will allow you to fight him if you’ve managed to collect the Gigabell. Alternatively, you can kite him around to make him destroy obstacles and walls for you.
If you tap Bowser Jr., he will release a powerful shockwave to knock out nearby enemies and blocks. However, keep in mind that this ability does have a cooldown, so you can’t always use it continuously.
In Conclusion
Amiibo tend to sell out quickly, so make sure you pick up the new and re-released Super Mario 3D World amiibo when you pre-order Super Mario 3D World and Bowser’s Fury. The game and amiibo release on February 12th, so get ready to explore the exciting new features of the game and enjoy the edge that amiibo can give you in your gameplay.
