Each two-part amiibo comes with one rider and machine – such as Kirby with the Warp Star – which together form an amiibo figure. You can mix and match your riders and machines to make different combinations, resulting in different amiibo figures you can tap to bring into your game. By racing together with them, the rider’s level and proficiency with that machine will increase.
