Update: The dream is dead! It’s true that the amiibo interacts with the gate’s locking mechanism and changes its light to green, but the gate itself will still close on when trying to pass through.

Eurogamer was provided with the following explanation from one of its readers:

“The confusion here is that the gates in Moscow metro seem to be opened all the time, but in fact they’re actually closed. You need to place your card on the reader to ‘unlock’ it and go past them. If you don’t, the gates quickly shuts right before you, possibly injuring your private parts. You can see that green light disappear really quickly – it’s supposed to stay green until you’re past the gates.”

amiibos aren’t just for games, guys. They hold some extra abilities as well. Take the Samus amiibo, for instance, which apparently opens the Moscow Metro ticket gate.

I’m playing around a bit here, but it does in fact look like the Samus amiibo worked in this situation. Reddit user “edkisin” posted the photo above and just posted the Vine clip below an hour or so ago to back up his claim. Looks pretty legitimate to me!
