Back Alley

What is the Back Alley?

The Back Alley is a mechanism meant for getting passes on specific games using Play Coins.

How do I use it?

• Open NetPass
• Enter a location and select "Back Alley"
• Press A to buy a pass
  You can only buy 6 passes per day (1 free), it resets at midnight
• Select the game you want to get a pass for
  You should now have a new pass in the app you bought one for!

Related Questions

Why can't I buy more passes?

• You've reached your maximum of 6 passes per day (the last one costs 10 Play Coins)
  You can buy another 6 passes tomorrow!
• You ran out of Play Coins.
  You can walk while taking your 3DS with you while in sleep mode (limit of 10 per day), or use homebrew apps like FastPlayCoin, Checkpoint or For Anyone Who Walks A Lot for more coins.

Do Back Alley passes influence regular NetPass passes?

No. Back Alley passes are additional passes you can get and NetPass will behave the same whether you bought them, or not!

Can I get more than 6 passes per day in the Back Alley?

Normally no.

Can I change my system clock to cheat the system?

If you change your system clock the Back Alley will temporarily lock you out, up to 24h, depending on how big the time change was.

How are these passes 'generated', and are they real?

Every pass is completely real! The server keeps track of everyone's active StreetPass titles which allows it to filter for specific games, depending on what game you chose in the Back Alley.

Do I send my StreetPass data to the person I received a pass from?

Yes, every StreetPass on NetPass except QR codes are bidirectional, meaning both parties receive each others StreetPass.
