+A '''Friend Code''' (Japanese: '''ともだちコード''' ''Friend Code'') is a unique twelve-digit code generated once the player has logged onto the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] on their [[Wii]] or [[Nintendo DS|DS]] for the first time. It is used to identify friends for online play. Players can view their games friend code by using their [[Pal Pad]] once the player has logged into Nintendo WFC.
 Each Friend Code differs between games, to make each game have a separate 'identity'. To prevent identity theft, Friend Codes, along with the Wi-Fi ID on a DS, are reset when Wi-Fi Connection is used on another DS. Wi-Fi information can be transferred in the case of replacing an old DS. After registering each other's friend codes, the two people can communicate with each other from any location in the world that has internet. Players with Friend Codes usually have more liberties than players without Friend Codes, some Friend Code exclusive rights being voice chat and co-op play.
