Talk:Amiibo

Verification
I'm not sure if this is happening with anyone else, and it could easily be simple random chance. Every time I use the Zelda Amiibo figure, I get a weapon specifically for Zelda, and I will occasionally get a weapon higher than 3 stars from another figure. Additionally, the Link figure seems to only get weapons for Link as well. Can anyone else verify this? --KingStarscream (talk) 04:09, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Tingle?
The SMM section mentions Tingle, but the amiibo list at the top does not. Is Tingle going to have an amiibo, or is his costume some kind of boobie prize randomly given when using the others?KrytenKoro (talk) 14:00, 13 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Tingle is a non-amiibo costume that can only be unlocked in-game. There are several non-amiibo costumes in-game that have to be unlocked. There is no Tingle amiibo and his inclusion in SMM doesn't necessarily mean he will get one. 17:33, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Oof, that's a weird one. Including it on this page makes it sound like it's amiibo related, but the fact that it's a Zelda reference means it definitely has to be covered somewhere, and it doesn't make a lot of sense to create a new page just to have a 90% repeat of the info here. Maaaaaybe...create a page for the game, and have the section here just be a main-article link noting "this amiibo for this costume", quick and short? I mean, it's basically in the same boat as Scribblenauts.KrytenKoro (talk) 19:50, 13 October 2015 (UTC)


 * No. We already decided not to create a page for SMM, because the only Zelda-related things it has are mere costumes. It does not warrant its own page. Yes it is a bit odd in a way to include Tingle here when he does not have an amiibo, but he's there for completion sake.


 * Also, there is the Cameos of The Legend of Zelda page. That page is sufficient enough as well. 20:04, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Could we then move the gameplay information there, and on this page mention that the amiibos allow you to quickly unlock the respective costumes? That would prevent the implication that Tingle is an amiibo, and technically, the amiibo information is that it unlocks the costumes, and the cameo information is the costumes existence apart from the amiibos.KrytenKoro (talk) 13:54, 14 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I suppose it'd be fine to move the gameplay info there, though I still say that Tingle should remain just for completion sake. People would probably also add Tingle back in if they find him missing, despite having no amiibo. In actuality, you can unlock all the costumes without using a single amiibo, it's just the figures unlock them immediately. 15:19, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Right, right. I'll try to make time to write up a quick draft of what each section would look like, if you'd like to approve them later.KrytenKoro (talk) 18:11, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure, that'd be fine. 23:14, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
