Topic: Some Simplified Streetpass Suggestions, please.

So, I'm planning on taking my XL with me whenever I go out. As I would like to actually use some of the features (like Streetpass etc.).
And my main query is: What does it actually do?

Say I conveniently walk past 10 people with 3DS'; what could potentially happen?

Also, do I need any form of internet? Or do I just leave the 'Wireless' turned on?

I'm after a fellow NL'ers answer, not a Jargon infested website or article, that doesn't explain anything.

Thanks in advance.

You need to keep the wireless turned on and not be using DS/i software.

You need to have your 3DS in sleep mode and walk past other people with their 3DS consoles also in sleep mode to use it to share data. You also need to make sure you're not playing either a DS/DSi game while the system is in sleep mode nor Ocarina of Time 3D (both disable wireless when in use).

Say I conveniently walk past 10 people with 3DS'; what could potentially happen?

You could get up to 10 StreetPasses, assuming these other 3DS owners also have their 3DS in sleep mode with the wifi active.

Also, do I need any form of internet? Or do I just leave the 'Wireless' turned on?

Just leave the wireless turned on. There's also an option in StreetPass Mii Plaza called 'StreetPass', make sure that's set to 'On' too.

btw if you run or go at fast speeds you will have less of a chance of getting a street pass and go to McDonald alot trust me.

Thanks a-lot everyone, seriously.
You've pretty much answered any/all questions I have.

I'll take it with me tommorow and see what happens.

@Sleepingmudkip - Yeah, I thought that, lol. I must be guaranteed a hit in McDonalds, surely.

@Link-Rova well you could potentially reach 10 people now that Nintendo started their streetpass relay thing, If you walk by a Nintendo Zone (special places like Mc Donald's, Best Buy etc.) you'll receive streetpasses from other people that walked by that Nintendo zone too and your data will be stored for the next person who walks by there.

@mamp - Really? I wasn't aware they had things like that going on. That kinda' boosts my confidence in getting some hits then.
Thank you for sharing that.
