    I'm surprised he's still mentally stable after traveling to every state for gamestops, playing 3d mario and mario kart for a week, 2d mario for 2 weeks, and collecting every N64 game
  • @angrycharizard
    I think Mini Mario & Friends Amiibo Challenge will go down in history as the MOST obscure officially released Mario game. And the fact that it's on a home console is even crazier
  • @Lexzim9098
    I really miss the era of Super Mario Maker 1 of using the Amiibos in order to unlock all of the Mystery Mushrooms, whether it's: Mr. Pikman; Mario driving a car; Jigglypuff etc.., the one feature I've missed dearly from Super Mario Maker 2! Great upload as always Nathaniel! ❤
  • My favorite was Yoshi's wooly world, where you got a skin based of them. It was pretty cool.
  • Although I’ve never gotten an Amibo, the Wii U games are especially cool! Very sad it is discontinued and the services are shutting down here soon! Cool vid and huge like!
  • Small details: - The Splatoon amiibo stages are the same as the main campaign, except that you play them with a different weapon, that's all. - In Super Mario Maker, there's a limit to how many amiibo costumes you can unlock in 100-Mario, so i feel like using some of the amiibo figures first is a good call as i haven't been able to unlock every costume yet and i reached the limit in every difficulty except super expert and i unlocked some costumes i could've unlocked with amiibo earlier. Lastly, i haven't checked this one, but you apparently can play online with amiibo in Mario Tennis, something you can't do in Sm4sh, sad that the online is going away yet i was never able to play Mario Tennis online lol, while Wii Sports Club i have been able quite a few times. Edit: I love the idea of amiibo, its a way to connect different games and different systems, with all the services down on Wii U and 3DS, it feels cool that there's an official way of still giving some new content to old games via amiibo, i just wish they had some better ways of doing so, like the Word Search game (also apparently some of the new amiibo figures don't work on Wii U or 3DS).
  • @ShurikanBlade
    For the TPHD Ganon amiibo. Difficulty isn't necessarily locked behind the amiibo since hero mode has the same effect. Tho if you tap the amiibo in hero mode you will actually take 4x the damage
  • @MCFawful
    From what I remember, I’d argue Yoshi’s Woolly World probably has one of the best amiibo usages. Even after release I remember using amiibo that didn’t have costumes and tried scanning them in; lots of great memories with that game.
  • 6:34 you don't have to scan the Amiibo every time you want to roll the dice (in mario party 10) you can also just push the A button on the GamePad instead. just saying
  • @xer0895
    Welcome back! I missed you :)
  • @jadenr_11
    as a person who finally bought the Wii U in 2024. I think this vid is a win
  • @starreturns1
    How ironic that I've been looking for a video like this for a while lol
  • @Nerdtendo6366
    The fact I own about half of the WiiU games that use amiibo scares me
  • @aidanmoore8751
    You know....amiibo and 3DS/WII U games go together much better than amiibo and switch games. At least...that's my opinion. (Also i got some suggestions for future videos.) Ranking every captain toad stage. Ranking every mario maker amiibo costume. And ranking every yoshi's wooly world costume. Just wanted to mention these ideas of mine because the games were mentioned in the video.
