Cloud - Player 2 - number 58
Cloud – Player 2 amiibo (Super Smash Bros. Series)
The name does not significantly differ between regions. It is marketed as “Cloud – Player 2” in North America and Europe, and as the alternate color version of Cloud in Japan. The figure was released in July 2017 in Europe and Japan. In the United States, Cloud – Player 2 launched in July 2017 and was distributed exclusively through the retailer GameStop.
This amiibo is a writeable figure. It can both read and store data. In compatible Super Smash Bros. titles, it creates a Figure Player (FP) that learns from battles. The stored data remains on the figure itself and can be transferred between consoles of the same software generation.
The design depicts Cloud in his Advent Children outfit. The clothing is darker than the standard Player 1 version. He wears a black sleeveless outfit with a high collar and a single shoulder guard on the left side. The Fusion Sword rests on his back in a vertical position. His stance is slightly turned, knees bent, sword angled behind him, as if pausing between movements. The pose mirrors his battle-ready posture in Super Smash Bros., not a cinematic scene but an in-game stance adapted into sculpted form.
Cloud originates from Final Fantasy VII, first released in 1997. In that title, he is a former SOLDIER operative who becomes central to the conflict surrounding Shinra and Sephiroth. The Player 2 variant references his appearance in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, the later film continuation. This version reflects a more mature visual identity. Within the Smash Bros. roster, Cloud represents a significant third-party collaboration, marking the presence of Square Enix in Nintendo’s crossover fighting series.
The amiibo is compatible with Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (Nintendo 3DS), Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (Wii U), and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Nintendo Switch). In these titles, scanning the figure creates a trainable AI fighter. The Figure Player gains experience, adapts to play styles, and can learn attack patterns. Equipment customization is available in the Wii U and 3DS versions. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the FP can reach level 50, develop tendencies, and be used in local battles or tournaments.
In other Nintendo Switch titles that support generic amiibo functionality, scanning Cloud – Player 2 provides standard rewards such as in-game items or bonuses, depending on the software. These effects are not character-specific outside the Smash Bros. series.
As an object, the Cloud – Player 2 amiibo extends beyond display. It acts as a portable data carrier and a physical reference to a specific era of the character. The alternate costume underlines the crossover nature of the Smash Bros. project. Its value lies in stored progression, competitive experimentation, and preservation of a trained fighter profile in tangible form.

A no-fluff Amiibo FAQ: compatibility, scanning, regions, reprints, value, and collecting rules — answered clearly so beginners stop wasting money.
Kapp’n
The Kapp’n amiibo belongs to the Animal Crossing amiibo figure line released during the first wave of figures connected to the series. Like other figures in that line, it carries a small NFC chip that links the physical object to several Nintendo games. Scanning the figure activates character-related content. The practical value of the figure sits mostly in the ability to call Kapp’n into supported titles and unlock small pieces of themed content connected to his role in the series.
Tom Nook
Within the Animal Crossing amiibo figure line, the Tom Nook amiibo represents one of the central figures of the series. The figure appeared during the first wave of dedicated Animal Crossing amiibo. Release timing varied slightly by region, but broadly falls into November 2015. The figure carries the likeness of Tom Nook, a character who has been present since the earliest Animal Crossing titles and whose role has slowly shifted from shopkeeper to infrastructure organizer of village life. The amiibo functions primarily as a character key: scanning it places Tom Nook into several compatible Nintendo games, unlocking small interactions, character content, or themed bonuses.
Blathers
The Blathers amiibo is part of the Animal Crossing figure series released during the broader rollout of Nintendo’s amiibo platform. Each figure combines a small collectible sculpture with an NFC chip inside the base. When placed on a compatible reader, the console reads the character ID stored in the figure. In practice this allows certain games to reference the character directly. The Blathers amiibo mainly provides access to appearances of the museum curator or small character related features inside supported Animal Crossing titles.
Isabelle - Winter Outfit
The Isabelle – Winter Outfit amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. Series represents a seasonal version of one of Nintendo’s most recognizable support characters. This figure does not introduce a new character, but it reframes an established one. The added value lies mainly in its functional compatibility across multiple Nintendo systems and in its physical interpretation of Isabelle during a specific seasonal moment in the Animal Crossing world.
Chrom - number 80
The Chrom amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. Series extends the character into physical form while adding functional use across compatible Nintendo systems. It is not decorative alone. It stores data where supported and unlocks defined in-game content. The practical value centers on its training function in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and on smaller bonuses in selected Fire Emblem titles.
Richter - number 82
The Richter amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. Series represents the Belmont heir as he appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is a functional NFC figure that can store character data and interact with compatible Nintendo software. Beyond its physical presence, its practical value lies in its ability to generate and train a Figure Player (FP) in supported titles. The figure was released in January 2019.

Cyrus
The Cyrus amiibo belongs to the Animal Crossing amiibo figure line released during the period when Nintendo expanded the series into physical NFC figures. It functions as a bridge between the plastic figure and supported Nintendo games. When scanned, the character stored in the NFC chip becomes accessible inside the game. The practical value of the figure lies in enabling Cyrus related interactions and content that otherwise remain hidden or harder to reach.
Ivysaur - number 76
The Ivysaur amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. Series represents the middle evolution of the classic Grass type Pokemon within Nintendo’s crossover fighting line.
