StreetPass Relay[]

StreetPass Relay is a service that functions to increase the number of Miis received by StreetPassing in North America and Europe. It was announced at an analyst briefing at E3 2013. [4] StreetPass Relay points are located at Nintendo Zones, where when a user passes by it with their 3DS, it automatically stores the most previous six visits by other 3DS users from that specific Nintendo Zone onto their system, and then passes on their information to be received by other users once they pass by the same relay point.

The feature was added in the August 6, 2013 system update, requiring your system to be at version 6.2.0- 0U or higher to take advantage of it. [5]
