More weird amiibo gift stuff.
In my last session of amiibo fights, 4 of them received hats as gifts. One of those hats was new to my WiiU. But before receiving it I scanned all 4 of them in on my New3DS. The new hat, a Zelda Wig, did not change when I scanned the amiibo into New3DS, even though every other hat has changed before tonight. Also, one of the hats that was a repeat on WiiU became a new hat when scanned into New3DS.
Money amounts have never changed. Equipment doesn't seem to change either. I haven't checked with custom moves much, but they seem to stay the same. Obviously trophies are going to change cause the 2 versions have different trophies. But it's weird that hats change like this. I'm assuming outfits would change as well, but I haven't paid attention to them cause I already have all of them in both versions.
Ah, in that case, sorry for the misinformation. My best guess is that the unlockable hats/custom moves are determined differently between Wii U and 3DS because of the challenges. For example, in 3DS the Princess Zelda Wig must first be obtained via challenge before it can be unlocked via random customs (which is extremely stupid because a duplicate hat is entirely useless).

I believe mine are all the same because I've already unlocked everything in both versions. One of the hats I received is Spartan Helmet, which is a challenge-unlocked hat in the 3DS version.
EDIT2: Here's a
Miiverse post.
1. Wii U 100%
2. 3DS 100%
3. 3DS 0% (after file delete)
Notice the 3rd has the exact same formation and number of gifts, but completely different, even the equipment (most likely because of the unlockable characters modifying what is determined by RNG). Hope that answers the mystery.
By the way, as if to be super ironic, the Cow Skull Hat was the last 3DS hat I was missing when I originally was completing the game. I spent I think 3 days of nonstop Classic 9.0 grinding just for that, accumulating over 99 Link trophies, 99 Ganondorf trophies, and 63 Toon Link trophies.
