Universal having secret "Ms" hidden around the park is a "hidden Mickeys knock-off" joke waiting to happen at the next D23, so the fact that you actually used a _Fantasia_ Mickey Amiibo is just the 🍒 on top.
@@fatcat1 You _can_ use Pikmin Bloom in the park, but it's not a feature or attraction or anything. In hard-to-reach spaces, there are little Pikmin statues you can find if you look closely. One of them is a group of Pikmin carrying a coin, and it's the best one.
The tags in the Amiibo are not the same as those used in the Powe-Up Band, which feature a wireless charging board that powers the interaction each time you tap it in the land.
You're probably right about the Power Up bands having two different sensors. Probably similar to the Bowser and DK Skylanders figures, where they can switch from a Skylander to an Amiibo.
Such a great idea! Hoping if they ever refurb the land or update the power bands like the wands at Harry Potter... They such totally make this a thing! Even if it is adding points to the next Power Band scanned! :D
Really thought it would be cool if they had custom attractions that allow you to use your Switch tablet in an interactive way and let you win actual gold points for the eshop.
Considering gold points are roughly equal to 0.01 USD, I feel like that would attract way too many hardcore min-max gamers who don't even go for the attractions, they just go to put their Switch on that specific attraction for 9 hours to grind up 6000 gold points to buy Pikmin 4 or something
This is the first video I have discovered of this channel, and for some reason I get this very nostalgic feeling from it. You are very likable and I am surprised to see the little amount of subscribers you have (no offence). Keep blessing us with this unique content! Wish you the best ❤❤
Sega is just becoming small due to the devoid of consoles, I bet if it still created consoles it would be selling like nintendo, but for now it's been reduced to just "the company that made sonic"
If it... helps... I know its too late. They tried this at the Super Nintendo World in Osaka already. The thing I noticed about the Power Up Band is that the amiibo tech is gathered towards one side of the band while the super nintendo world related stuff was on the other side.
Looking forward to when it opens in Florida in a year or two. Am currently planning a guy trip with a bunch of my friends from high school to coincide with the opening of Universal’s Epic Universe.
I have heard that if you are at Marriott hotels at least, for the elevators that require a room key, that it is really just looking for anything NFC at all and an Amiibo will trigger it. That might be worth looking in to.
I makes sense why they don’t work, with the hustle and bustle of a theme park it might be east to lose an amiibo in the shuffle. BUT it would be neat to have some kind of attraction that uses them. Maybe do something like a mini Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival thing, EXCEPT! 1: It’s AR (You sit in a viewing platform looking down at the board. Wearing glasses similar to Bowsers Challenge) and scanning your amiibo has that character show up on the board. 2: It’s actual Mario Party and not some watered down version like Amiibo Festival. 3: You can earn both coins for Super Nintendo World and Platinum Points for My Nintendo! You can have an app on the Switch that can sync with Super Nintendo World and scan the Amiibo there to redeem the points!
I was blindly watching this video until the appearance of a Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey figure woke me the hell up. If you can't tell, I have been fatally diagnosed with "Disney Infinity Addict"
If the bands do not have a battery, then they have a fixed NFC chip with a randomized identifier; in which case you could read then write the data to a sticker and place it on an amiibo-like statue. Alternatively, it may be possible to overwrite a real amiibo as they do have write functionality enabled (as seen by Super Smash Bros.)
The stickers won't work at all, only NFC 215 Key cards will. Mostly because of the amount of data within it's Hex Code to "Write" and functions exactly like a Power-Up Band would. It is a NFC Reader hooked up to a Display / Monitor. Replicating the band itself is pretty simple and functions as a .10 cent NFC 215 Tag: Key card alternative to a $40 band (Though, I can imagine confusion with a Team Member when you fail to present an official Nintendo Power-Up Wrist Band) Any amiibo will not work 100% because the NFC reader operates uniquely off the bin files: !PowerUpBands/Mario: 00000003039BFF02 !PowerUpBands/Luigi: 00010003039CFF02 !PowerUpBands/Peach: 00200003039DFF02 Hex code varies from each band for functionality.
I think I figured out how Powerup bands work! A bit like Amiibo, they probably hold an NFC tag inside which was built for compatibility with both the elements of the theme park and the games, whereas normal amiibo were only built for compatibility with the games.
if the tag on the wrist band is the same size as a amiibo nfc tag you could possibly fit the wristband tag inside the amiibo stand to do this trick but that begs the question *whos gonna do it*

I don’t know if I’m the first to say this but the band and amiibo both have one NFC s censor in it the m spot probably just checks what amiibo tag it has so it would play the scanning sound but then not work.
That'd not the reason this didn't work. The sensor they use is nfc. Although it does habe more sensors then the normal amiibo, for the 8 bit mario thing, it uses nfc. The reason they didn't work, is the bands are different amiibo! That's why the 3ds and wii u don't even see them as amiibo, it's not coded in the 3ds or wii u to read them.
Nfc tags send a "password" to whatever you put it on so they both have that same tech, but the universal one has a "password" that works for universal and amiibo, while amiibos only have a "password" for amiibo.
I think that the bands are just amiibo, but the secrets only activate with the special amiibo code in the band, and the code works also works in the game
Here's hoping someone important saw y'all doing this, or finds this video or somethin' and goes "hey,that would be a fun idea!" And then in ten years when they refurb or something, it's compatible.... Although I'm surprised they didn't think to do this, just to sell park exclusive Amiibo.
I think the power bands use a unique scanning code compared to Amiibo figures. That's why you can't use the Mario Amiibo figures on those little scanning points.
I think he should of brought a mario amibo and a non mario amibo You could test with both amibos to see if they work or not, plus since you did the Luigi one on the switch, you could bring a Luigi amibo to test it and a sonic or kirby amibo to also test it out
Any amiibo will not work 100%, it operates off an NFC 215 Tag (Key card) bin file as Mario: 00000003039BFF02 Luigi: 00010003039CFF02 Peach: 00200003039DFF02 Hex code varies from each band as well.
