In one of their latest videos, GameXplain tested out different amiibo with Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash. Interestingly, the Walmart-exclusive Gold Mario amiibo (which typically just operates as a normal Mario amiibo) allows you to play with a Gold Mario instead. On the other hand, using the other non-exclusive Silver Mario does nothing — you only play as regular Mario. Check out the video below:
Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash is to release on November 20th exclusively for Wii U.
Silver Mario is a Walmart exclusive now?
Good… good point. For some reason, I think i confused the fact that I bought it at Walmart with it being Walmart exclusive.
SolaR: 1, Lou: 0
See, there’s something that an amiibo is actually useful for!
How about new characters, maps and Power Shots instead?
Ah well, still buying it… but only because I’m starving for a new tennis game.
Say what?!?! Yo, I’m totally buying this game now… Haha yeah right! I ain’t buying this crap.
Nintendo Australia announced Gold Mario amiibo as a Target exclusive for Australia and New Zealand so I missed out because there are no Target stores in New Zealand (besides a furniture store that didn’t stock them).
I honestly don’t believe Nintendo Australia exists because no company can be that retarded, so many retailers here keep quitting Nintendo and it’s easy to say why, an EB employee once had a rant about how they’re so hopeless to communicate with and don’t get me started on past transgressions with the warranty department.
I wasn’t gonna get this game anyway so I won’t have to worry about not completing it.
Honestly, I hope Nintendo pulls out of Oceania so import stores will get them from a reliable Nintendo branch.
Just the incentive I needed to get Mario Tennis: Rushed Game-err… I mean, Ultra Smash: playing as Golden Mario! *snickers*
Mabey Gold Mario DLC coming? It would be odd to make a excusive costum for the gold amiibo and not silver. If Gold Mario is coming as DLC they have it bascilly done.
That’s not cool. I’m a completionist, but I’d have to pay scalpers to unlock this one.
get a friend to lend you one.
If only. I’m the only Amiibo collector/addict I know.
Too bad neither of my Wal-Mart stores ever got the gold Mario amiibo. They advertised it in their store, yet never got any. Go figure. I sure hope Wal-Mart never gets any other exclusives. Because they seem to be the worst store when it comes to amiibo stock. One of my 2 Wal-Mart stores had a nearly empty amiibo shelf ever since they first released a year ago. What’s up with that?
