Unlock Pauline's Diva Dress with the Donkey Kong & Pauline amiibo

Scanning the new Donkey Kong & Pauline amiibo figure unlocks Pauline's Diva Dress outfit immediately rather than getting it through completing all of the 5 Elders' Rehearsal Halls.

The outfit resembles the one that the adult Pauline wears as mayor of New Donk City in Super Mario Odyssey.

Equipping this outfit has the bonus effect of causing Music Discs to appear twice as likely after defeating enemies.

How to Get Diva Dress

Get the Outfit from the Collectone in Resort Layer

You can unlock the Diva Dress outfit by speaking with the Collectone in Resort Layer. This same NPC is also found in Racing Layer.

Speak to the Collectone, choose the "Here's an amiibo!" dialogue option, and tap the Donkey Kong & Pauline amiibo on the NFC touchpoint.

If done correctly, the Collectone will give you the Diva Dress.

You won't be able to get it until you talk to a specific Fractone that asks you about amiibo. I think the earliest you'll find it is in the Racing Layer, but I first saw it in Resort Layer.
