View source for Friend Code

A '''Friend Code''' is a unique 12-digit code generated once the player has first logged onto [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] on their [[Wii]] or [[Nintendo DS|DS]]. It is used to identify friends for online play. Each Friend Code differs between games. To prevent identity theft, Friend Codes along with the Wi-Fi ID on a DS are reset when Wi-Fi Connection is used on a DS foreign from the original one. Wi-Fi information can be transferred in the case of replacing an old DS. Players with Friend Codes usually have more liberties than players without; such as voice chat or co-op play.

To register another player's Friend Code, both recipient and transmitter must manually type it in. This is to preserve each players' identity and privacy.
