Can I use Amiibo as a playable character in Smash?
I recall seeing an ad of bunch of teenagers playing Smash as their Amiibo characters, but I can't seem to find a way to actually do it.
I know I can play in a team with Amiibo and have it be controller by the CPU, but is it possible to control it myself?

I checked Nintendo's FAQ on amiibo, and confirm you can't play as your amiibo. I felt so let down when I saw that you cannot use your them as a player. It's like you have your own Poke'mon but for Smash Bros.

Just about any amiibo can be scanned into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for some kind of reward. To scan them, go to Games and More on the main menu, then select amiibo. You'll be prompted to scan amiibo over your right Joy-Con's stick by tapping them and holding them until they scan.Can you use amiibo to unlock characters?

Unfortunately, no you can't. Trust me, I just figured this out as well. They're like a pet, you can train them and battle other pets. I bought 5 today. It's like a Pokemon I can train it and everything. Until I log on and find out all I do is watch it fight and level up. You can't play as them, but you can fight beside them. But still, I just spent about $60, and the commercial on TV showed teens playing as their Amiibo, which is apparently wrong. So you can not be them.
