I bought my first Amiibo today! Who was your first?

I don't own one but I've preordered Mario Party 10 and comes with Amiibo Mario.

What are the purpose of Amiibos and do they offer any advantages in game or just a gimmick?

Depends on the game. In Smash, they're an adaptive AI that you can train, level up and customize. In Mario Kart 8, they provide bonus costumes for your Miis. In Mario Party 10, they offer a bonus mode called Amiibo Party.

Thank you, much help. We don't have Smash yet, but have Mario Kart 8.
