Fox - number 6
Fox amiibo – Super Smash Bros. Series
The name does not significantly differ across regions. In Europe, North America and Japan it is released as “Fox” (フォックス in Japan). No alternative character branding was used.
Physically, the figure shows Fox McCloud in a dynamic forward-leaning stance. His right leg is placed in front, left leg stretched back, knees bent. The right arm is raised, holding the blaster slightly angled outward. The left arm is pulled behind him for balance. The head turns slightly to the side, ears pointed, eyes focused. The sculpt follows the Smash Bros. interpretation: sharper facial lines, segmented flight suit, armored boots, headset with microphone. The base is the standard black Super Smash Bros. platform with the flaming Smash logo in gold.
The pose is taken from his battle stance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. It reflects his fast, grounded fighting style rather than his Arwing pilot role. In the wider game world, Fox originates from the Star Fox series on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The amiibo version captures the crossover identity, not a cockpit scene. This matters. The figure stands for his presence in Smash, not only for Star Fox.
Functionally, this amiibo can be written to and trained in compatible Super Smash Bros. titles. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (Nintendo 3DS) and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (Wii U), scanning the amiibo creates a Figure Player (FP). The FP can be trained, gains experience, learns tendencies, and can reach level 50. Data is saved directly onto the amiibo. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Nintendo Switch), the same applies. The amiibo can be trained, customized with Spirits, and its behavior evolves through matches. The stored data can be updated repeatedly. It is not read-only in these games.
In other compatible Nintendo titles, the functionality is limited to read-only bonuses. In Star Fox Zero (Wii U), scanning the Fox amiibo unlocks the classic Arwing design inspired by the original Star Fox game. In Star Fox Guard (Wii U), it unlocks additional in-game content related to the Star Fox theme. In games like Mario Kart 8 (Wii U) and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo Switch), scanning Fox unlocks a Mii racing suit styled after Fox. In Super Mario Maker (Wii U), it unlocks a Mystery Mushroom costume of Fox for 8-bit-style levels. In these cases, no training data is written back to the figure.
The added value is practical. The figure functions as a persistent fighter in Smash titles and as a key for themed extras in other games. It bridges hardware generations: Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, Nintendo Switch. The physical object carries progress. That continuity is noticeable when moving from one console to another.
As part of the Super Smash Bros. Series, the Fox amiibo documents a specific era of the character’s design. It stores trained behavior, unlocks cosmetic content, and represents a crossover identity. Not exaggerated. Simply a structured extension of the software into a tangible format.

amiibo were initially structured in numbered waves, mainly within the Super Smash Bros. line from 2014 to 2016. Later releases shifted toward franchise-based groupings rather than strict wave numbers. What follows is a rough chronological overview of the major waves and their regional release windows. Dates reflect first retail appearance by month and year.
Alex - number 89
The Alex amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. Series represents the Minecraft character as used in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is an NFC figure that interacts with supported Nintendo systems. Its added value shows up most clearly where saved data can be reused.
Lottie
The Lottie amiibo belongs to the Animal Crossing amiibo figure line released during the early phase of Nintendo's amiibo program. It represents the small otter character known from the design office in Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer. Like other figures in this series, the object contains a small NFC chip. When scanned by compatible Nintendo systems, the figure links the character to in-game systems and unlocks small pieces of related content.
Steve - number 89
The Steve amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. Series expands the playable figure concept by combining a globally recognized character with Nintendo’s training-based amiibo system. It is a functional NFC figure that stores data and interacts with compatible software. In practical terms, it serves as a customizable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and as a read-based bonus figure in several other Nintendo titles.
Incineroar - number 79
The Incineroar amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. Series represents the wrestling-inspired Fire-type Pokémon as it appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

The added value lies primarily in its use as a trainable Figure Player (FP) in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where it develops behavior patterns based on player interaction.
Rover
The Rover amiibo sits in a familiar part of the Animal Crossing line. It is not a figure that changes a whole game on its own. Its use is smaller than that. It lets Rover appear where Nintendo allowed amiibo support, and that is really the point of it. The value comes from access, recognition, and a direct link to one of the older faces in the series.
Sephiroth - number 90
The Sephiroth amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. Series expands the character’s functionality within compatible Nintendo software.
