Can you use Skylanders as amiibo?

Yes, but only specific Nintendo characters (like Bowser, Donkey Kong, Kirby) released as Skylanders: SuperChargers hybrids, which have a switch on the base to toggle between Skylander and amiibo mode. These special figures work as normal amiibo in amiibo-compatible games (like Mario Kart 8 or Super Smash Bros.) and also function as Skylanders within Skylanders: SuperChargers and Imaginators on Nintendo platforms, but standard Skylanders figures don't work as amiibo.
