How to Use amiibo Cards / Figures (Animal Crossing: New Leaf)
Nintendo 3DS
In this article, you'll learn how to use amiibo cards and figures with the game.
Note: To use this feature with Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the game must first be updated to Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo.
All Animal Crossing amiibo cards and figures are compatible with Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Welcome amiibo.
- Scan Animal Crossing amiibo figures to invite them to the Campground area in the game. (With their own stylish RV!) These characters offer players special in-game items that provide access to the new Desert Island Escape and Animal Crossing Puzzle League mini-games.
- Scan Animal Crossing amiibo cards to invite the pictured character to come to your town. Characters on amiibo cards in the Welcome amiibo series can appear in the new Campground.
- Scan select non-Animal Crossing amiibo figures to access new furniture items unique to those characters.
Complete these steps
- Walk around your town until you hear an unknown voice call your character’s name. (The timing for this event is random.)
- Follow the voice until Wisp’s lamp appears.
- Pick up the lamp and display it in your house.
- Once you have the lamp in your house, once per day you can press the A Button by the lamp to make Wisp appear.
- Follow Wisp’s instructions and scan a compatible amiibo card or figure.
- Depending on the figure, you will be able to chat with them, ask them to visit your town’s Campground, or invite them to live in your town permanently.
