In Kirby and the Forgotten Land there is an option that enables you to use Amiibo to unlock rewards such as Star Coins and consumable items which will help you during the game. Keep in mind that you will get better rewards when using Kirby-related Amiibo like Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Waddle Dee. Listed below are each Amiibo and what they grant in the game. This Amiibo Guide will tell you everything you need to know about this feature in Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

In Kirby and the Forgotten Land you can use an Amiibo while in Waddle Dee Town or in a stage by doing the following:
1) Press + then select 'Amiibo' from the game's menu.
2) Select the Amiibo of your choice and then tap the bottom of it on the right Joy Con thumbstick, or the center of your Pro Controller.
3) The Amiibo rewards you unlock will appear on the ground near Kirby.
It is entirely up to you when you decide to use your Amiibo but it is recommended that you save them for when you are struggling to clear a stage or boss battle. It is important that you remember that you can use up to five different Amiibo in a stage, but can only use them once per stage. In order to use the amiibo again you will need to clear a stage.
