Amiibo Super Smash Bros. Series Figure (Mario)

Aesthetically it is really well done, with details that make the difference, such as the fireball around the hands or the classic plumber's uniform, made perfectly. It's great as a gift but also as a collector's item.

Awesome Looking Amiibo! :)

I was impressed with the quality of this amiibo! There was no signs of damage and wear, and the detail is precise. I was looking everywhere for this kind of smash amiibo for Mario because it looks so cool with the fireball hovering around his hands, and it looks even cooler in person! It was what I was looking for and a great buy as well.

Helpful little figure (and looks cool to boot)

First object to note: amiibo are not region locked. No matter what language/region settings you have on a game, if the game supports that particular amiibo, the amiibo will work no matter which region the amiibo was intended to be sold in. This amiibo uses a new, more international packaging, which included Japanese text on the box. However, gameplay wise, it is identical to any other Super Smash Bros. series Mario amiibo.By far, the best use of amiibo personally is in Super Smash Bros. This figure works in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, Wii U, or Ultimate (for Switch). It summons an AI Mario that uses machine learning to mimic the fighting style of its opponents when players summon it to battle. This great for creating a sparring partner of sorts (rather than going ... MoreFirst object to note: amiibo are not region locked.

It summons an AI Mario that uses machine learning to mimic the fighting style of its opponents when players summon it to battle. This great for creating a sparring partner of sorts (rather than going online or against normal CPU fighers), but I've found that some of the best fun is had when a bunch of trained amiibo all clash in a big tournament. Watching these amiibo you trained to fight in a particular style battle others can lead to interesting matches and ideas for your own fighting style.Other than that, other games use it to a less involved degree: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe gives players a Mii costume for racers that resembles Mario, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild drops some food items and the like...Many amiibo collectors collect them for their look on a shelf: the figure is solidly built, and has small details like texturing on Mario's overalls. It looks great as a desk accessory or on a bookshelf to add something new to its look. I myself keep a yarn Yoshi amiibo on my desk; it adds a lot of color to what would normally just be wood, paper, and a laptop.

Ignore the other Review

Other review is regarding the Gold Mario amiibo and is saying they 'lost theirs.'Well that is their own fault. Who loses an amiibo?? In my opinion they should not do a restock of Gold Mario. He was limited edition.Anyway, this amiibo is great just like all amiibo, and it is one of the cheaper ones and works across nearly all amiibo compatible games. Would recommend to anyone!

Multi-boot buyer

I really appreciate the business story behind R Watson Boots and I suggest anyone interested in having really good boots at a fair price read about the man and his life. I’ve purchased 4 pairs of R Watson Boots from NRS, all of them beautiful boots, in my humble opinion. The Black Cowhide with Indian Orange top is a diamond in the rough. For some reason, not necessity, I saw that boot on the site and bought it. I had a feeling it was probably a good-looking boot in person and I was sure right. Out of all the expensive boots I've purchased, this boot seems to get peoples attention and comments. Something about black and red with the red and white stitching is eye catching. FYI, if you like to buy boots made the old fashion way “built to last” R Watson builds every ... MoreI really appreciate the business story behind R Watson Boots and I suggest anyone interested in having really good boots at a fair price read about the man and his life.

FYI, if you like to buy boots made the old fashion way “built to last” R Watson builds every pair using classic leather construction, stacked leather heal, comfortable leather in and out sole, with lemon pegs, steel shank, and Goodyear welt.A word about NRS, these guys and gals are professional, knowledgeable, and they care about the customer. They take the time to make sure you have the right product, your happy, and if not, they go the extra mile to fix the situation with the wonderful folks in customers service or the sales team. Trust me, I've tested the system with my order. I ordered the wrong size as soon as I made them aware within ten days the boots were exchanged.If you haven’t bought from NRS try them out. Your time is precious and these folks won't waste it.Jeff B

Not the "Japanese version"

This is not "the Japanese version." This has the new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate packaging, which includes the character's Japanese name on the box. It also has a red logo around the base, and new design on the back. Is not region-locked, so works on any console regardless. Glad this is finally restocked.

Review of Mario No.1 amiibo

This is the second time I've bought this amiibo mainly because my son steals it from my collection all the time as he loves it. It's a great pose with Mario donning his trademark fireball and it's one of the amiibos that's guaranteed to work with alot of the games. Everything about it oozes Nintendo quality.
