The Nintendo characters can come to life in new ways through amiibo figures. These are interactive figures that have the ability to communicate with games that are compatible with amiibo simply by touching them to the Wii U's GamePad. Amiibo figures can interact with games that support this technology by reading data from the games and storing data on the figure. In Super Smash Bros Wii U, players can battle with or against the amiibo figures they own while upgrading them. They can then transfer them to another Wii U console to show how they have trained and customized them. Different amiibo-compatible games will use them in different ways. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will be the first game to support amiibo. Games such as Mario Party 10, Mario Kart 8, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and Yoshi's Woolly World are also expected to support amiibo figures.
