With the impending launch of Amiibo figures in late-November 2014, Nintendo have also confirmed that tapping Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, Captain Falcon, Fox, Samus or Kirby amiibo figures on the gamepad will allow a player to dress their Mii up in a racing suit themed to that character. A preview of these costumes can be found in the above trailer.
