That's why I rephrased. The Mario Smash amiibo will have some functionality with all amiibo compatable games that Mario appears in for example. If you buy a link Smash amiibo it can be used with Hyrule Warriors and possibly Mario Kart 8.
If I were Nintendo, I'd use Mario Kart 8 as a continuously growing game that eventually incorporates all Smash characters so all the Smash amiibos have at least 2 games they can function with, and it keeps Mario Kart relevant for a long, long time. It's also easier to develop characters for Mario Kart than it is for Smash so it's more feasable.
I'd also get my ass on a Diablo-esque multiplayer title that uses amiibo data from other games to build a character that goes through famous areas like Ganon's Tower, Bowser's Castle, a Space Pirate controlled world, Team Rocket's base, and a stronghold on planet Venom. Smash data influences combat power, Mario Kart 8 boosts movement speed or bestows speed based abilities and mounts, etc. It's a friggin goldmine and Nintendo is missing out by specifically avoiding this.
