In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', amiibo, when scanned by the console, allow the character represented by the figurines to be used in-game as a customized CPU opponent. Any amiibo figure corresponding to a ''Smash'' character may be used (not only ''Super Smash Bros.'' series amiibo); however, amiibo cards (such as the ''Animal Crossing'' amiibo cards) cannot be used as Figure Players. amiibo can be used to load Figure Players into any copy of the game, even if the character has not been [[unlockable character|unlocked]] or [[downloadable content|downloaded]]. | In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', amiibo, when scanned by the console, allow the character represented by the figurines to be used in-game as a customized CPU opponent.

Unlike normal fighters, amiibo fighters' stats are modified by "feeding" them [[equipment]], including equipment that fighter cannot normally use (e.g. a Mario Figure Player can be "fed" Hammer equipment, despite not being able to equip it), but any "fed" equipment is permanently lost. There is a limit to how many times a Figure Player can be fed before battling. A Figure Player can also "learn" up to three bonus effects from the equipment they are given. By default, the amiibo's stat total is capped at 120. | Unlike normal fighters, amiibo fighters' stats are modified by "feeding" them [[equipment]], including equipment that fighter cannot normally use (e.g. a Mario Figure Player can be "fed" Hammer equipment, despite not being able to equip it), but any "fed" equipment is permanently lost.

While {{forwiiu}} natively supports amiibo, {{for3ds}} was unable to do so at launch. [[List of updates (SSB4-3DS)|Version 1.0.5]], released on February 9, 2015, added support for scanning amiibo if the game is played on a New Nintendo 3DS or New Nintendo 2DS, while version 1.0.8, released on June 14, 2015, added support for an external NFC reader/writer accessory, enabling support for earlier Nintendo 3DS and 2DS models when used in conjunction with this hardware. | While {{forwiiu}} natively supports amiibo, {{for3ds}} was unable to do so at launch.

Owing to their ability to be "trained" and used on other consoles, [[Tournament#amiibo Tournaments|amiibo tournaments]] have become a minor side-event at some ''Smash 4'' tournaments. | |||

Figure Player data from ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' can be transferred to ''Ultimate'', but high level Figure Players are leveled down to a set level upon conversion (for example, a level 50 Figure Player becomes level 12). Once transferred, the amiibo data will no longer work in ''SSB4''. Alternately, the player can clear the pre-existing Figure Player data and start again in ''Ultimate'' | Figure Player data from ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' can be transferred to ''Ultimate'', but high level Figure Players are leveled down to a set level upon conversion (for example, a level 50 Figure Player becomes level 12).

Figure Fighters can inherit [[spirit]]s and gain their effects, but the spirit will be permanently consumed. The Figure Player will also gain the spirit type, and its status will always be active regardless of whether the player has spirits on or off in the rules. A Figure Player can inherit up to 3 of [[support spirit]]s' skills. | |||
Additionally, the ability for a Figure Player to learn and gain experience during battle can now be enabled or disabled on the amiibo menu, essentially freezing the AI. Figure Players can also be used in the game's [[Training Mode]] in place of a regular CPU, though they do not gain experience. | Additionally, the ability for a Figure Player to learn and gain experience during battle can now be enabled or disabled on the amiibo menu, essentially freezing the AI.
