Nintendo has launched a pretty substantial website in Japan for Mario Party 10, which arrives on Wii U rather soon, and some details and images have prompted speculation that more unannounced Super Mario range amiibo toys are on the way.
As you can see in the image below special boards for Rosalina, Donkey Kong and Wario - a previously confirmed amiibo feature - are shown alongside simulations of new amiibo toys for these characters. Before now Nintendo has stated that the equivalent Smash Bros. range toys will be supported, but this seems to be the first time that visuals of potential Super Mario amiibo have been seen.
It's worth noting that on the relevant page the interactive amiibo links show the Smash Bros. figures, with these Super Mario-themed mock-ups then appearing in the subsequent image on the right. As a result it may be merely conceptual, but in light of Nintendo's eagerness to release as many amiibo variations as possible we wouldn't rule them out. We suspect the Rosalina toy would be in particularly high demand, primarily due to the Smash Bros. variation being hard to find.
There's also a character roster (including the confirmed amiibo characters + Daisy and Waluigi) that has two empty slots with question marks, though we could reasonably expect those to be filled by fairly standard Super Mario characters.
The website is packed with screenshots so is worth a look - as for these potentially new amiibo, would you try and pick them up?
Thanks to Dan H for the heads up.

Oh my god, I hope so...this might be my chance at a Rosalina.
I'd go for the New DK one as I have rosalina and Wario perordered which looks much better to me.
Must get daisy
Heh, I'd get that Wario one just to have an Amiibo with him wearing his classic clothes; and not the stupid one from Brawl.
@EmmatheBest Same here. I'm also interested in that DK one. His looks better than the SSB one too.
The only Super Mario Amiibo I've pre-ordered is Toad as I have all the rest. Although I'm tempted to get the better looking SM Luigi Amiibo.
@RCMADIAX (#2): Spike!?!?! Really?!?!? I'll wait for A and B button amiibos then. They can't be too far off by the looks of it.
Also what @EmmatheBest (#5) said.
Those are gorgeous!
I hope it is true. Not only for having a Rosalina, but one I like better than Smash's.
For Wario, I do prefer the Warioware version, so I would not get this amiibo. Daisy I would.
@RCMADIAX It actually is them! It's been confirmed in a Japanese magazine.

The fact that you have to erase your Amiibo data is silly. Here's a free idea for you, Nintendo. Make an Amiibo app on the WiiU. Call it the "AmiiboCloud". The icon will be Lakitu on his cloud. You can save your Amiibo data to that cloud. You can tap your figure to the NFC spot. Then it will do a backup save. Also, you can swap out data here. A little animation of Lakitu fishing from his cloud is inserted here. This way smash data can be saved, and you can play this game without worry.
To be honest only want Mario. Already have DK & Wario (pre-) out of the amiibos I really want
What does the Bowser Amiibo do in this game? I didn't see a special Amiibo board based on his character.
Edit: I saw a picture on a different website confirming the Bowser-based Amiibo board.
@SuperWiiU I disagree.
I'll be glad to have Wario in his classic outfit. I personally hate the Wario Ware design. Also, a Toadette amiibo will be fantastic, love her so much from Captain Toad.
I'm skipping Rosalina and Wario Smasmiibo and getting the Super Mario line. I'm happy with my DK Smashmiibo but still double dip on the SM amiibo
I shouldn't be surprised but I can't believe Nintendo's even recycling renders now. Especially when they already made new one just for this game!
Oh, I hope this is true! They look way better than their Smash versions, also I wouldn't mind if they made a Toadette amiibo.
I want my Rosalina damn it
Getting this Rosalina to play with since I don't even want to open the one I got.
I just hope she has a healthy supply.
Still wait for waluigi amiibo
But when can I get my Waluigi amiibo?! I know he was a lazy character creation but I've grown to love him!
@Jepze beat me to it!
So much amiibo news! My channel is eatin' it all up :} thank you Nintendo!
I'd get Rosalina, but I don't need DK and I hate Wario. Daisy is at the top of my wish list, and I will preorder from every place I could to make sure I got one. And you know what? To share the Daisy love I'd sell any extras on eBay at cost. I will not sully the Princess's name by profiteering.
Rosalina I think I'll be getting...hopefully this time a certain someone won't go on ahead and buy her in bulk so people can't have her like last time.
Oh Nintendo, just shut up and take my money all ready! THAT Wario.....
I really want this game now!
Now THAT'S the Wario I know and love!
@Shworange Your idea seems very reasonable and I would agree too. But then there's the issue of having enough gb to hold all that amiibo data.
Are there minigames in amiibo party?
I'd get the DK one when/if it arrives
We did already see Rosalina and DK in the Mario Party 10 amiibo trailer a couple weeks ago, actually...since then, I've just worked on the belief that they were DEFINITELY coming in a future wave. Nintendo wants to sell amiibo anyway, right?
@HeyChrisA @Jepze I'd snap up Waluigi, too, if he were released in amiibo form. And this is from someone who hasn't really given a crap about amiibo since this whole stock mess, haha.
Out of these, Toadette would also be interesting.
I may consider getting Rosalina if the figure looks nice. I got the smash version from Japan and much cheaper than Target (online that is).
@Tsurii897 i dont think its been confirmed seems that you can unlock the boards just by tapping an amiibo (read only) but you put items on your amiibo to use in the game as well (write)
so your SMASH amiibos will unlock the board but if you want to uses a customised character you need to delete the smash data
Here's hoping that this Rosalina not only has a lot more produced, but isn't exclusive like the Smash version (which Target decided not to restock, making it pretty much the rarest Amiibo in the USA imo).
@xMetrusx
Simple. It's an optional free download. You can delete al your data if you want, but if you have the space, please do so. I am now the proud owner of a 2 terrabite hard drive for the WiiU. I can backup every Amiibo in the Midwest USA.
There's no Daisy?? smh nintendo
Toadette amiibo cannot be overlooked this time, come on Nintendo!
Well it's not a "speculation" if the answer is there
Yes wario!!!
Hoping the extra two slots are for Toadette and Birdo (so we can get their amiibos on the Super Mario range)
YES!!!! Finally a Daisy Amiibo to go along with my Luigi
I still like Smash Rosalina with Luma to the Mario Party one.
Like it. An Amiibo is an Amiibo no matter if it's labeled smash Bros or Mario party. Getting it.
I like the smash Rosalina better but I can't find it so I'll likely get this one.
I'm so excited to get the Rosalina one. I wonder if she'll manage to look even better than her Smash version.
I really hope they make a Daisy amiibo though She's my favorite.
