Kirby Battle Royale – amiibo Unlocks Guide
Kirby Battle Royale has just launched for the 3DS, and as reported previously it features amiibo support! Having now got our hands on the game we can show you what your amiibo will unlock in the game. You can scan certain amiibo in the game to get access to some exclusive headgear. These are purely aesthetic and do not provide any gameplay advantage, just like the other gear in the game.
You can access amiibo features by selecting Collection from the main menu. From there you can find the amiibo option at the bottom of the list. Once you’re in the amiibo section you can scan any of the following amiibo to unlock a new piece of headgear for use in the Battle and Multiplayer modes:
- Kirby
- Meta-Knight
- King DeDeDe
- Waddle Dee
- Qbby
Both the Smash Bros. and Kirby series variants of Kirby, Meta-Knight and King DeDeDe will unlock the same piece of equipment.
Here’s a look at the headgear each amiibo unlocks!
Kirby
Kirby unlocks the Ultra Sword Hat for the Sword ability. When the Sword ability is highlighted on the character select screen, press Y to toggle between your unlocked gear until it is equipped.
Meta-Knight
Meta-Knight unlocks the Galacta Knight Mask for the Meta-Knight ability. You’ll need to unlock the Meta-Knight ability by playing through the Story Mode or transferring your demo save data before you can use this headgear. When the Meta-Knight ability is highlighted on the character select screen, press Y to toggle between your unlocked gear until it is equipped.
King DeDeDe
King DeDeDe unlocks the Masked DeDeDe Mask for the King DeDeDe ability. You’ll need to unlock the King DeDeDe ability by playing through the Story Mode before you can use this headgear. When the King DeDeDe ability is highlighted on the character select screen, press Y to toggle between your unlocked gear until it is equipped.
