Nintendo opened the official Japanese website for Super Mario Maker today. Thanks to information included on the page, we have additional details about how amiibo works in the game.

Super Mario Maker will support over 99 amiibo costumes. With the exception of the Mii fighters, there will be compatibility for every figure, including Pokemon, Chibi-Robo, and some of the Animal Crossing cards.

We have one other important tidbit as well: players will be able to obtain the various costumes without amiibo. It’s possible to earn them by playing through the 100 Mario Challenge.

Raru, a retailer in South Africa, has listed the Mewtwo amiibo for release on October 23. Nintendo has naturally not confirmed such a date.

We tend to be cautious when it comes to retailer listings, but Raru’s listing is interesting. You may recall that they leaked the Splatoon amiibo and game’s launch date before the information was announced. This doesn’t necessarily confirm that the Mewtwo date is accurate, but it may be worth paying attention to.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
