A '''Friend Code''' (Japanese: '''ともだちコード''' ''Friend Code'') is a unique 12-digit code generated once the player has first logged onto the [[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 another DS. 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; this includes voice chat or co-op play. | A '''Friend Code''' (Japanese: '''ともだちコード''' ''Friend Code'') is a unique 12-digit code generated once the player has first logged onto the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] on their [[Wii]] or [[Nintendo DS|DS]].
