This is a set of 8 NFC cards that are Amiibo Compatible to work with Metroid Dread. The cards are about the size of credit cards and firm just like one. They are not made by Amiibo but work just like them for a fraction of the cost. The cards included are: Samus (Super Smash Bros.) Zero Suit Samus (Super Smash Bros.) Samus Aran (Metroid) Samus (Metroid Dread) Ridley (Super Smash Bros.) Dark Samus (Super Smash Bros.) Metroid E.M.M.I. What they can do can be split into two distinct varieties, with the two new Metroid Dread amiibo having extra unlockables unique to them. To scan any amiibo, simply head to the Options menu with the “-” button while you’re playing – not to be confused with the Map menu reached by pressing “+”. From there, scroll down to the amiibo option, and scan as you like on the next screen. Scanning the Metroid Dread Samus amiibo will give you an extra Energy Tank as a one-time bonus, increasing Samus’ max health by 100 for the rest of the game. This can be done effectively as soon as you start the game, giving you some added protection against more typical enemies you’ll encounter on Planet ZDR. Similarly, scanning the E.M.M.I. amiibo will give you a Missile Tank + as a one-time bonus. This will increase your maximum missile amount by 10 for the rest of the game, adding to your firepower. Once you’ve gained those one-time bonuses, both amiibo will still be usable along with the rest of the listed Metroid amiibo for one of two bonuses once per day. The following amiibo will recover 200 health once tapped, making them great as a quick heal when things get dire: Samus (Super Smash Bros.) Zero Suit Samus (Super Smash Bros.) Samus Aran (Metroid) Samus (Metroid Dread) The following amiibo will instead refill 30 missiles once per day, keeping your more powerful ammo option topped off: Ridley (Super Smash Bros. series) Dark Samus (Super Smash Bros. series) Metroid E.M.M.I.
