Super Mario Maker + amiibo!

If you tap a compatible amiibo, like Wii Fit Trainer, Mario can turn into Wii Fit Trainer when he gets a Mystery Mushroom.

And to celebrate Super Mario’s 30th anniversary, we’re releasing an 8-bit amiibo. When you use it, your Mario in-game is going to appear a bit bigger! The amiibo itself is pretty big too, to reflect the effect in the game.
