If you’re not familiar, amiibo cards are a series of collectibles sold by Nintendo that can interact with Animal Crossing: New Horizons when touched to the Nintendo Switch’s right control stick, or logo on Pro Controller. If you want a Sanrio villager to move to your island as a full-fledged resident, you’ll need to head over to the campsite after scanning their amiibo card at the Nook Stop Terminal and woo the villager by crafting items for them over the course of three days. Sadly, the daily catalog order limit of 5 per day applies to Sanrio items, just like Super Mario items. When scanned for the first time, the Sanrio items are unlocked for your character and can be purchased from the Promotion and Poster tabs in Nook Shopping at any time for various amounts of Bells.

If you just want the Sanrio items, then Photopia works well and unlocks additional Poster items. If your goal is to invite a villager to your island, you’ll need to use the Nook Stop Terminal.

Sanrio Amiibo Cards can be scanned at either the Nook Stop Terminal in Resident Services using ‘Invite Amiibo Camper’ or Photopia on Harvey’s Island. The villager and items unlocked corresponds with each of the six different cards. To invite the six Sanrio-inspired villagers (Rilla, Marty, Étoile, Chai, Chelsea, Toby) or order their associated furniture and clothing items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you need to scan one of the Sanrio Amiibo Cards on your Nintendo Switch.
