This is my Gold Mario amiibo, I haven't decided if I want to open it yet:

My Lighted Mario amiibo custom. I made it by taking him apart; drilling up the leg through the body, arm, and hand; and running a wire from a coil in the base. This makes it so he lights up when scanned:

REALLY digging the light up Mario amiibo. Makes me wonder why they didn't do it in the first place.

That Mario is amazing! Do you know exactly where the NFC Chip is on the amiibos?

I wish I had taken pictures while I had it apart to drill the holes for the wire. The gold part and the black part are separate pieces. The glue that holds them together is at the bottom. I got it apart by prying it open with a screwdriver. The NFC chip is on a sticker that is stuck to the underside of the gold piece. It's pretty small, probably about an inch maybe a little more. I got the idea from a light up Meta Knight I saw online. I figured the flame was already clear, the only tricky part would be drilling a hole to conceal the wire.
