3DS Streetpass Experiences

New special Mii (Hayashida) and puzzle panel (Ultimate NES Remix)

The new panel comes after so Hayashida has no pieces for it apparently. But he does have the pinks for Sonic!

fuck yessssssssss

also I just need one more pink piece for Sonic Boom so that works out
 
Ultimate NES Remix puzzle is going to look awesome.

Think M&L Dream Team puzzle meets 8-bit NES games theme

Only have about 10 or 11 pieces with none pink but I can't wait to see it completed. Normally I don't even care beyond getting the pinks.
 
Just fired up a homepass as I'm at 299 play coins and would like all the puzzles currently available before spending away.

It only gave me 4 Miis instead of 6 but I got a special Mii...you mean...NOE finally remembered what a special Mii is...

So who is it: Shigeru Ohmori complete with black shirt.

Hmmm I don't have this...

...nor this!

Why are you doing me like this Spotpass!?
 
JP 3DS didn't get any of this either.

I laughed that the special Mii sent out to promote Ultimate NES Remix doesn't actually have any Ultimate NES Remix puzzle pieces.
 
Flower Town question:

My parent plant, Cheery Cherry, has the oval seed shape. One of the offspring seeds has a round seed with a "leaf" sticking out. The planter's preview shows 3 plants: Cheery Cherry 50% and the other two at 25% each. If the seed shape is round with a leaf, there's no way for it to be a Cheery Cherry, right?

Correct. Every plant in a species has the same seed shape.
 
StreetPass Weekend is running for those wondering.
Yup. I wandered Home Depot for thirty minutes (needed to go anyway) and picked up about ten sets of six, filling out most of the garbage Sonic puzzle and picking up a few NES pieces as well.

I'll go back on Sunday after things circulate some in hopes of putting a dent into that NES puzzle.
 
Got all the pinks for Sonic.

Getting some random blues for NES Remix but have seen no Pinks.

Goal of the weekend will be to get my Eon Ticket though.

There would be no reason for Japan to get the NES remix puzzle just yet as the game has not even been announced there only America and maybe Europe have it coming. Hope it does come out in Japan though as i want to play it.

4 pieces away from Captain toad been complete but it's hard as not many people come through the relay.
 
ugh I forgot about the Eon ticket... I wasn't ready to play ORAS yet but I guess I'll start my game at least to set up StreetPass
 
Pikmin panels done, need two more pink pieces for Ult NES Remix panel, halfway done with Sonic Boom panel. 42 pieces left

Just need Montana, Oklahoma and Puerto Rico
 
Just need three more states and Puerto Rico and I'll have the US region finally complete. Got too many people from Cali today :p

Cali people are friggen everwhere, clogging up my Streetpass Weekend. Where's the Midwest 3DS players!

I cleared story mode of Mii Force. Clearing Arcade mode is going to require me to really git gud, because it takes such a LONG time playing all of the levels. (well it's not a long time in videogame terms, but for a streetpass game, it seems to take forever).

I finally just got access to spys in Warrior's Way, which will apperently make my conquering a lot easier

I've gotten good luck getting NES Remix pieces, and I got a couple Sonic Booms too. Neither's complete Pinkwise. I also finished the Kirby Anniversery panel too.

EDIT: Oh shit. Special Miis get an additional shot in Mii Force. Maybe this will improve my Arcade mode odds.
 
So I have a checklist of the Plaza Tickets I need to get. Most of them just require patience but I have a question about Monster Manor
How do I get the Bronze, Silver and Gold Chests to spawn? I managed to get a ticket from one Bronze Chest, but now they won't show up.
 
I got pretty pissed with those Puzzles latley.
I used to have them all completed all the time, now they are pumping them out way faster then i can complete them, even though i get a lot of Streetpasses. Most people simply don't care about the Puzzles :/
 
It took ages but finally got lucky and grabbed the final pink pieces i needed for the captain toad puzzle so now they are all complete again till they decide to give Japan another new one, they really should start making the puzzles for all regions as it means you are not reliant on just one region for the pieces as that last one took ages to get as nobody from Japan had any of the pink pieces. It does seem like a lot of people don't bother.

Nothing worse than grabbing a lot of passes and then going to the puzzle screen and having them all wave at you as they just walk on by. Only one area of Canada to fill on the map to complete it and 2 states in America to get, whichever the northwestern state is on the map is and a teeny tiny state a few down from it. Not a bad effort considering my 3DS is Japanese & i'm living in the UK lol.

You need to spawn enough chests in a single room at once. The best you can possibly do at once is 12 if you place a straight line of five into a surrounding of the same colour. But you don't need that many just to get a single gold one.
 
I haven't lost a smash 3ds street smash battle yet. So under my stats it says defeated by: _
It's making me nervous, I'm bound to lose someday right?

Right?

Nebraska is the only state I need to fill US.

Mii Force is a great game. I really like that white kid skull bone character. Very cute. I'm still trying to clear everything in story mode as I go along. That is, get all jewels, meet target score, and not die once. Some of the boards are very clever. I like the Amusement park one the best so far.

I'm also working to clear Flower Town. Have 78 out of 80 plants. Two rare ones left.
 
Anyone have any luck with Homepass and a Mac? I can connect when I have the Internet sharing set up and can browse with the 3ds, but I get no Streetpass tags.
 
Took my XL out to the mall during Black Friday. Parking lot was packed, hung out at GameStop for a half hour...not one single Streetpass.

So the easiest way to do Homepass now is a DD-WRT router, right? 'Cause I'm not going to get them otherwise.

What is the SSID and MAC id that you're using? Consult the spreadsheet for details.

Yes, that's the case for me.

I get the most StreetPasses at Starbucks, Best Buy, and McDonalds. GameStop probably doesn't have a Nintendo Zone set up.
 
I'm curious to know how many people on GAF have actually connected with someone via Streetpass. I plan on taking my 3DS with me when I go around the university tomorrow to see if I can get anyone.

Any funny/cool experiences with the 3DS's new feature? I'm very curious to see if there is any chance of this becoming popular at all in North America. Hopefully we get a lot more games that support this.

It's awesome !

Especially just for puzzle pieces.

Smash street pass is pretty cool and Mario Kart 7 has the best street pass with GP ghosts.
 
What is the SSID and MAC id that you're using? Consult the spreadsheet for details.

My setup:
Router to Mac ethernet
Internet Sharing turned on, WiFi SSID is "attwifi"
Mac firewall is off.
Using the script for changing MAC. Says that it changed them, but when I go into ifconfig, the original MAC is still there.
3ds has only one connection, which is "attwifi"

I also tried the other SSID of "NZ@McD1", which Nintendo Zone started working, but still no Streetpass tags.

EDIT: would like to add that even when I change the MAC for my wifi thru CLI, it goes back to the original MAC when I do "ifconfig". Also, I was using the Mac script that cycles thru the MAC list.
 
Just got a homepass by changing SSID to attwifi

this didn't seem to work during the previous streetpass weekend, glad it's no problem this time
 
Turns out I -did- have the Toad puzzle and managed to completely forget about it. Still have 0 pinks for it of course.

Stopped by 4 McDonalds on the way back home. Got all but one of the Ultimate NES Remix pinks. Decided to leave the piece highlighted by default for last, just to find many people I received via the relays did the same so it's now the piece I'm missing lol
 
Forgot to mention that something weird did happen while I was going to different locations. On two different occasions, I got a Special Mii. Rosa someone and FILSAMECH, which is weird cause I had already had gotten them before. Thinking it was a reward for those who Streetpassed on the final day
 
Thanks for this. Trying to look thru the 192 pages now. :)

The link I provided starts with the MacOS configuration steps post.

This morning, I was psyched to find that my latest flower produced a seed with 100% chance of a new breed. I've been trying to get Armored Azalea for awhile and I learned that it is in the color black. So I had to convince my daughters to change their Miis to black over the weekend which they did not want to do because they preferred green/blue. Anyway, they finally did and it paid off.

Does anyone have advice for the Mii Force 4-1 board to get the second & third jewels? I defeated the five snails so I'm able to travel up. I see the second jewel but it seems that the current moves too fast for me to go down and to the right to get the jewel. Any thoughts on how to do this?
 
Crazy day today, I wish I had been emptying my queue.

I seem to have had 25 Pokemon X/Y passes. Even 9 Fantasy Life ones.
