Aren't they just skins, a la the amiibo functionality in Wooly World? They didn't seem to actually do anything special in the trailer...

Yeah, it's just costumes. It's weird that even Luigi is locked but I can't say that I'm awfully bothered by it.

Thought so. In that case, I don't see this being any more objectionable than the rest of the Amiibo content, including the several released and upcoming games where costumes are locked behind amiibos. The stuff going on in the boardgames is far worse, in my opinion.

Well I suppose not getting Luigi, Peach and Toad would be a valid complaint, at least if they play differently like they do in other Mario games.
