The amiibo Marth is Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. series figure of Marth, the prince of Altea and the hero of the very first Fire Emblem game. It is No. 12 in the Super Smash Bros. amiibo line and was part of the launch lineup: Nintendo UK lists its European release as 28 November 2014. The figure stands on the standard round amiibo base, which holds an NFC chip. Tap it on a Nintendo Switch, a Wii U GamePad or a Nintendo 3DS with an amiibo reader and it becomes a trainable fighter in Super Smash Bros., or unlocks weapons, tickets and items in Fire Emblem and other Nintendo games.

Marth and the Start of Fire Emblem
Marth leads the original Fire Emblem, released on the Famicom in Japan in 1990, and its later remakes. For years those games stayed in Japan, so most players outside it met Marth first as a fighter in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and he has been in every Smash game since. That history makes the amiibo Marth a natural first piece for a Fire Emblem shelf, and an early, numbered piece for anyone collecting the Super Smash Bros. series line, alongside launch figures such as Mario, Link, Samus and Donkey Kong. Nintendo notes that designs may vary slightly from product photos.
Training a Fighter in Super Smash Bros.
Nintendo lists the amiibo Marth as read/write in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Switch, and in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and for Nintendo 3DS. In each, it brings Marth into the game as a fighter that grows and evolves over time. In Ultimate this is called a Figure Player: a computer-controlled Marth that fights alongside you or against you, and saves its progress on the figure rather than the console. In Smash, Marth’s sword hits hardest at the very tip of the blade, so a well-trained amiibo Marth tends to learn to fight at a distance rather than rushing in.
Fire Emblem Games
Marth’s own series uses the figure more than most. In Fire Emblem Engage on Switch, Nintendo lists the amiibo Marth as read/write, giving Fashion Tickets and Music Tickets that unlock costumes and music tracks. In Fire Emblem Warriors on Switch and 3DS it gives a strong weapon for the character. On 3DS, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia uses it to summon an Illusory Hero based on Marth, and Fire Emblem Fates gives special items and a chance for Marth to join your army. Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. on 3DS even adds Marth to your team with his own skills and weapons.
Other Compatible Games
Outside Fire Emblem and Smash, the amiibo Marth works as a read-only bonus. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gives weapons and materials, and its Switch 2 Edition gives a selection of items and a chest. Super Mario Bros. Wonder gives a power-up on a course, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land gives coins and items. Many more Switch, 3DS and Wii U games read it, usually for random items. Nintendo notes that some games may need a software update before they recognise amiibo.
How amiibo Work on Each Console
On Nintendo Switch you hold the figure over the NFC touchpoint on the right Joy-Con control stick or on a Pro Controller. On Wii U the reader sits on the GamePad, and the New Nintendo 3DS family has one built in; older 3DS and 2DS models need the separate NFC Reader/Writer. The figure has no battery and needs no charging. An amiibo holds save data for one game at a time, so you clear Smash data in the console’s amiibo settings before writing Fire Emblem Engage data, and the other way round.
Who This Is Not For
The amiibo Marth is a figure, not a game: outside Smash and Fire Emblem most rewards are small random items that other amiibo also give. Players who want Lucina should buy her own figure, as she is a separate amiibo. Nintendo does not publish the figure’s height or weight, and the thin sword and cape are better kept on a shelf than in a young child’s toy box. Without a Switch, Wii U or 3DS the NFC chip has no use, and older 3DS or 2DS models need the separate reader.
