Amiibo figures and cards can be used in Animal Crossing: New Horizons for various purposes:
- Inviting Villagers: Scan an animal villager amiibo at the Nook Stop to invite them to your campsite. If you craft their requested items for three days, they will move to your island.
- Inviting Special Characters: Scan special character amiibo (like Isabelle, Tom Nook) at Photopia on Harv's Island to stage photoshoots. With the 2.0 update, you can also invite them to The Roost for coffee.
- Happy Home Paradise: In the DLC, amiibo can be used to invite specific characters to design vacation homes for them.
