StreetPass Mii Plaza

StreetPass Mii Plaza, released in 2011, is a piece of built-in software for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems that works in tandem with the Mii Maker. The game does not have one specific story or set game mode, but multiple unique sub-games for the player to progress through simultaneously.

Gameplay
StreetPass Mii Plaza's main focus is on the StreetPass functionality of the Nintendo 3DS Family. If two 3DS users tag each other, their Miis will appear in each other's plazas and can be used to progress further in the games included with the software. Miis will greet each other at the Plaza Gate, where tagged Miis will give a short greeting with their name, birthday, country of residence, and latest played game (if the tagged user allows it). If a user is tagged twice or more, upon greeting the player, their Mii will ask what the player thinks of them. The player can respond with "Fantastic!" or "Ok, I guess...", with the tagged Mii responding positively or negatively respectively. If the player thinks the tagged Mii is fantastic, this information will be delivered to the recipient if two ever tag again. After two StreetPass users tag each other, they cannot tag each other again until 8 hours pass. Special Miis, usually those of Nintendo employees, were occasionally distributed via SpotPass. These Miis would wear unique golden pants unobtainable by the player. If the user had played a 3DS game with online multiplayer, the Miis of those they had played with would appear in their plaza, but could not be used to progress through any of the games.

The most beneficial way other StreetPass users should be tagged changes from game to game. Tagging multiple people at once is usually beneficial to progress through most games, such as in Ultimate Angler and Mii Force, where a higher number of tagged users at once gives the player significantly more playstyles to choose from compared to the single playstyle tagging a single user would give. Select games also add benefits for tagging the same person repeatedly, such as how Find Mii increases the damage heroes can deal if they were tagged multiple times, and Monster Manor benefitting the player by giving repeatedly tagged Miis a wider selection of floor pieces for the player to choose from.

Exchange Booth
The Exchange Booth is a area that the player has where they can exchange Plaza Tickets for Outfits and Speech Bubble. The way to get plaza tickets is by playing and progressing through wave one and two games. the amount of plaza tickets in each game varies.

VIP Room
The VIP Room is a feature of the premium pass the player can purchase. It lets the player store StreetPass Miis that they want to keep when their plaza reaches full capacity and prevent them from getting deleted.

StreetPass Birthdays
This is a premium feature that allows the player to collect birthdays from StreetPass Miis. The goal being to collect every single day of the year.

StreetPass Map
This is a map of the country the player lives in that highlights a state or territory where the StreetPass Mii was found. The goal being to highlight the whole map. If the player has also visited multiple countries, those will be shown too.

Accomplishments
This is a list of certain achievements the player is given and tasked to complete. There is no reward for completing these, they are just cosmetic.

Music Player
The music player lets the player listen to certain tracks they have heard in-game. The player is allowed to play the music in their plaza if they have the premium pass.

Game Vault
This lets the player store games that they dont want to see alerts for when they get a StreetPass Tag.

Entrance/Line
This is the spot where StreetPass Miis are greeted. The entrance storing only 10 StreetPass Miis, while the Line will store 100 StreetPass miis if the player has the premium pass.
