amiibo are a series of collectible figurines based on characters from Nintendo franchises, which also tout functionality with various video games. Scanning in various figures will unlock bonuses in these games, which range from purely cosmetic changes to new content in the form of in-game items, characters and locations.
The first amiibo figurines that went out for sale were the ones related to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U. Among them were figurines of Kirby, King Dedede, and Meta Knight, as all three were fighters in that game. Later, concurrent with the release of Kirby: Planet Robobot, came a set of official Kirby series amiibo, including Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Waddle Dee.
Nintendo consoles and handhelds compatible with amiibo
- Wii U
- Nintendo 3DS (special adapter required for older models)
- Nintendo Switch
Kirby Games compatible with amiibo
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
The first game in the series compatible with amiibo was Kirby and the Rainbow Curse on Wii U. It is only compatible with the Smash figurines, which could be scanned in to give Kirby a bonus during the playthrough of a level. The bonus obtained depended on the figure used, and could only be used a certain number of times per day.
Kirby: Planet Robobot
Kirby: Planet Robobot for 3DS is the second game compatible with amiibo. Here, the figures give Kirby a Copy Ability based on what type it is, as well as some Food (and a Sticker if the amiibo is a Kirby series one). If playing Meta Knightmare Returns or either of The Arenas, Kirby/Meta Knight only gains food. Unlike in Rainbow Curse, amiibo outside the Kirby series are also compatible.

Kirby's Blowout Blast
In this title, there is a special collection room where Kirby can obtain large statues of himself and his friends/rivals when the unknown reader scans a Kirby series amiibo. This will also add more musical options to the hub, appropriate to the character scanned in.
Kirby: Battle Royale
amiibo can be scanned in to unlock various alternate costumes for certain Copy Abilities. Scanning the Kirby amiibo will unlock a Sword costume that resembles the Ultra Sword ability, and scanning the Qbby amiibo will unlock a Bomb costume that resembles him. More costumes will likely be revealed when the game releases.
