Alex - number 89
Alex amiibo - Super Smash Bros. Series
Definition. An amiibo is a figurine with an NFC chip. Compatible games can read it when scanned. Some games can also write data back onto it. With Alex, the main write use is in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate through the Figure Player feature.
Name. The figure is sold as Alex in the main release regions. No relevant regional naming differences are used for this amiibo.
Release period. The Alex amiibo released in September 2022.
Write or read only. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Nintendo Switch, the Alex amiibo can be written to. It can store a Figure Player, including level progress and setup. In many other games it is treated as read only, used for scan rewards without persistent training data.
Design and pose. The figure shows Alex in the strict block style of Minecraft. Head, torso, and limbs are intentionally cubic, with flat surfaces and hard edges. Alex stands on the standard black Super Smash Bros. base with the gold Smash emblem. The right arm is raised forward, holding a pixel styled iron sword. The left arm sits lower and closer to the body, keeping the stance steady. The face is square with simple printed eyes and a neutral mouth. Hair is brown and built as straight block sections. Clothing follows the familiar green top and darker pants with pixel texture printing. The pose matches the ready stance used for the Minecraft fighter set in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Origin and meaning. Alex comes from Minecraft, created by Mojang. She was introduced as an alternative default character alongside Steve. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Nintendo Switch, Alex appears as an alternate costume for Steve rather than a separate roster slot. This amiibo points to the moment Minecraft became part of the Smash lineup, while keeping its visual rules intact.
Compatibility and bonuses. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Nintendo Switch: scanning creates or loads an Alex Figure Player. The FP can be trained by fighting it and it levels up to 50. Spirits can be assigned to adjust attributes and effects, and that configuration is stored on the amiibo. Other Nintendo games and systems with amiibo support may recognize it as a Super Smash Bros. Series figure and grant standard scan rewards. The exact reward depends on each game. Common outcomes are item drops or small unlocks, handled by the individual game tables rather than by Minecraft specific logic.
Conclusion. The Alex amiibo adds value mainly in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where it works as a writable, portable container for a trained Figure Player and its configuration. Outside of Smash it behaves like a standard Super Smash Bros. Series amiibo, triggering the usual scan bonuses in supported titles. As a figure it stays close to the Minecraft look, and that direct translation is the core of its place in the series.

Blathers
The Blathers amiibo is part of the Animal Crossing figure series released during the broader rollout of Nintendo’s amiibo platform.
