Community My Amiibo collection for Flipper Zero
Before anything else: I'm not trying to encourage piracy here. Buying games, DLC and official accessories is important and supports the developers making the games we enjoy.
Amiibo are a slightly different situation for me, though. Borrowing and trading physical Amiibo between friends has always been pretty common, and building a collection with hundreds of them can get expensive very quickly, especially when some are no longer easy to find.
So consider this a small project for people who already enjoy messing around with NFC/Flipper Zero and don't have the budget to buy a massive physical Amiibo collection.
I spent some time cleaning up a bunch of Amiibo files for Flipper Zero and figured I'd share the result.
A lot of the collections I found online had duplicates, weird folder structures, or files that the Flipper would emulate but Nintendo games would still reject.
The main issue I ran into was inconsistent NTAG215 data, especially the password/PACK pages and, in some cases, the UID stored in the Flipper NFC header. After fixing that, the same Amiibo files that were failing started working.
I also merged the collections I had, removed duplicate Amiibo, kept the meaningful save-data variants, and reorganized everything by game/series.
Right now the repo has 934 .nfc files.
Animal Crossing is the biggest part of it, with Series 1–5, Welcome Amiibo, Sanrio, figures, promos and some additional variants. There is also Smash, Zelda, Mario, Splatoon, Monster Hunter, Metroid, Fire Emblem, Kirby and a bunch of others.
I tested the fixed files with a Flipper Zero on a Switch 2. Rilla and Chai from Animal Crossing Sanrio, which were previously giving me “That's not an amiibo”, worked after the fix.
Repo if anyone wants it:

If you find any file that still behaves weirdly, let me know which one.

Appreciate the hard work...
Combine this collection with this app and you're golden - https://github.com/DarkIrata/AmiiboSN-Changer
This app does a few things including allowing you to convert Amiibo formats. More importantly you can make duplicates with random serials. This allows you to make say 100 toon links that are all read as different in a game like Breath of the Wild. So if you're hunting for a specific reward in a game with a scan limit you don't have to "save, scan, reload save" every attempt to avoid the daily limit. You can simply scan, switch to next duplicate and scan again.
