StreetPass

StreetPass
This is how StreetPass works.

StreetPass <sup>(JPJapanese: すれ違い通信

Romaji: Surechigai tsūshin

Meaning: Passer-by Communication)</sup> is a feature present in every Nintendo 3DS system that allows users to exchange data from games & applications that the two own. It is on regardless of whether the 3DS is in sleep mode or not (though the system itself must be on), and automatically acts when another 3DS user walks within the console's range.

With it, players can acquire new features in games that they own (even if the game's card is not presently in the 3DS card slot) and obtain the Miis of 3DS users that walk past them. If one wishes, they can turn the feature off completely or assign the games that they want it to work with. Several games have made use of this function in unique ways. Other content that can be transmitted include puzzle piece for Puzzle Swap, messages from the user (in addition to their favorite game on the system), and their most played song with Nintendo 3DS Sound. Up to 12 games can be assigned to StreetPass.

The LED notifier of the upper right side of the Nintendo 3DS (when closed) alerts players when data has been exchanged with another user whether it be through StreetPass or SpotPass with a solid green or blue LED color respectively. The LED notifier will turn off after opening the Nintendo 3DS.
