Wait, so I can still get costumes WITHOUT amiibos?

EVERYTHING
There is one major catch.
The easy and normal difficulties have a limit on how many costumes they will give you. (Whats the limit? I'm not sure). Once you reach the limit, you HAVE to clear Expert difficulty to get the rest.
Here's the thing about Expert difficulty. It's completely unfair. The thing about the expert difficulty is that all the course that it pulls have a very low clear rate. How do levels have a low clear rate? By having random things that kill you that you couldn't possibly see coming. Also, precision platforming EVERYWHERE.
Getting to the end requires a miracle and smart use of lives.
So what I'm essentially saying is, you better hope you get the costumes you want in the first two difficulties.
