About this list

Nintendo knows how to market its products, and the Amiibo line is a prime example. These toys and game add-ons make adorable collectibles and are incredibly useful in-game. With an Amiibo, you can gain a huge advantage in games like Super Smash Bros. They're cute, useful, and highly collectible, since Nintendo only releases a limited number of figures before cutting production. To get a specific Amiibo, like a Link or Mario, you may have to pay a high price. The best Amiibos are often the rarest ones. For Super Smash Bros., having the right Amiibo is about training and building it up over time. As you use an Amiibo in the game, you can level it up and teach it new tactics to improve gameplay. This list features the most collectible and sought-after Amiibos from the SSMB series. Vote for the best Amiibos to use in Super Smash Bros. *All prices and values are subject to change and are rounded to the nearest dollar.
