Nintendo's got its audience over a barrel with its range of amiibo toys, and it seems that their charms have taken over certain fans' hearts, however most people don't take this appreciation to the lengths that one fan has.
A Facebook page has recently appear that documents the adventures of Pikachu, Fox, and Mario in their amiibo forms as they travel from Penzance in sunny Cornwall to Nintendo's Tokyo headquarters in Japan. The 6,136 mile journey began on the 9th December and consisted of a train journey to London before taking a plane over many seas and countries to land in Japan on the 12th later that month.
It's difficult to deny that the amiibo range has captured the imagination of the public, the recent supply shortages should be evidence enough to that effect, but this is the first endeavour we've seen of its kind to feature the toys. Charles Martinet has performed similar feats which he uploads to his Vine account, but we're assuming the fan responsible for the journey to Japan doesn't have the plumbers' iconic voices on tap.
You can check out the continuing adventures of Fox, Mario, and Pikachu by clicking here, and be sure to leave a comment below if you're planning any similarly obtuse excursions with your amiibo in the near future.

Ha, I've been by that sign in Penzance many times! Pretty amazing to see some Kernewek show up on NintendoLife Looks like a fun trip too!
I'm near Penzance. (ish) South West England club.
I just hope he went all that way for a separate reason, not just to showcase amiibos during the travel. :/
I'd probably love to bring my amiibo the next time I go on a flight since I usually enjoy bringing toys with me. ...Too bad I lose stuff easily, so I doubt that it would be a good idea to bring my amiibo.
Stories like this really put a smile on my face its nice to see that Nintendo fans have really enjoyed there amiibo I know there's a lot of gloom about availability etc but keep these nice and funny stories coming guys
@zipmon I'm yet to see any Gaidhlig on Nlife a bheil rud aig sibh an aghaidh Albanaich!?
So glad this is all the way from Cornwall! And not LONDON or some other generic UK city to the East or North. South West-ers FTW.
Why not Nintendo's Kyoto headquarters? I assume that's where Amiibo was first developed (although Smash 4 was in Tokyo).
"Sunny Cornwall" Looks out the Windo "Nop" -lol nice story id love to goto Japan some day
@PvtOttobot Glè mhath! =D Tha Gàidhlig na h-Èireann agam, agus just beagan na h-Alban - really awesome to see some other Celtic speakers on here!!
