It seems like the best way to get amiibo news lately is through in-store displays. That is how amiibo hunters found the next rumor. According to Amiibo Alerts’ Twitter page, Gold Mario (currently a Walmart exclusvie) may be coming to other stores. The tweet (below) shows an amiibo display at Walmart where Gold Mario does not have an “Only at Warlmart” tag — a fact juxtaposed gainst the 30th Anniversary Mario – Modern Color which does have that tag. This might coincide with Gold Mario’s unique feature in Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash. What do you think — will we be seeing a non-Walmart restock?
Could a non-Walmart exclusive Gold Mario restock be coming soon? Walmart amiibo display no longer shows exclusive. pic.twitter.com/hCn6TLl2KY

that is bullshit. cant nintendo let me have one rare amiibo. gold mario is exactly the same as regular mario
So I might be able to play as him in Smash Tennis? Gasp.
New use and a restock in Japan….Sounds like a NA restock is imminent. I just hope it’s announced, unlike how they randomly released them in Canada with no preorders or restrictions on how many you could get.
I hope SO much that this is true. Gold Mario is the only amiibo I was unable to find (or buy online). Neither of my Wal-Mart stores ever got any in stock (either that, or someone working there bought them all).
