Miis are customizable avatars featured in a variety of Nintendo games. Debuting with the release of the Wii, Miis have been present in every Nintendo platform since.

Mii Creators

Miis are made via Mii creator apps, each being different depending on the console.

Wii

The first Mii Maker was the Mii Channel. Miis stored on the Wii console walk around a white, tiled void known as the Mii Plaza, and sometimes interact with each other. When the player selects the Create Mii button, they are taken to another screen where they can being choosing the gender and appearance of their new Mii.

Nintendo DS

While the Nintendo DS does not have a built-in Mii creator, two games on it did have this function

Nintendo 3DS

Miitopia

Miitopia's Mii creator was the first instance a Mii could have unnaturally colored hair.

Wii U

Miis are stored in WaraWara Plaza, the home menu of the Wii U.

Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch Mii creator is the first and only Mii creator in a Nintendo console that does not feature a plaza. Instead, Miis can be viewed via a menu that can be located in the System Settings. Up to 100 Miis can be saved. It is also the first creator to not have any music.

The Mii creator is a lot more simplistic than previous installments. The Mii is placed in a light gray, sparkly background. To the left of the screen, the customization features are listed with words and icons this time. When the colors for hairstyle, eyebrows, eyes, mouse, facial hair are selected, there is an option to show 100 more colors, many of which are unnatural for humans.

When choosing a look-alike to start from, the user must select the gender of the Mii first and then 18 seemingly randomly generated Miis will be shown.

Retiring the usage of QR codes for Miis, the Nintendo Switch allows users to send and receive Miis by connecting the console to nearby users. Currently, the only way to share Miis online is through Miitopia's access key system.

Miitopia

While the Switch version of Miitopia uses the same creator as the console, there are two new features introduced: Makeup and Wigs. Makeup allows the player to add up to 100 shapes to their Mii's face, allowing for even more customization. Wigs replaces the Mii's hair with a wig the player can create by combining bangs, backs, and cowlicks, along with a two different hair colors and accessory colors when applicable.

Other Platforms

Mii Studio

Mii Studio is the Mii creator for My Nintendo, and the first official browser-based Mii creator. Like the Nintendo Switch, it features no music.

Usages

The main usage of Miis is as characters in Nintendo games, either as the main characters, such as in Wii Sports, or as extra customizable characters, like in the Super Smash Bros. series. Sometimes, their faces can be used as masks, like in Animal Crossing: City Folk.

Miis have also been used as ways to identify Nintendo users. For example, My Nintendo accounts use Miis as a form of profile picture. Additionally the Nintendo 3DS requires a Mii to represent the owner of the console. For the Nintendo Switch, users can use pictures of select Nintendo characters and images as profile pictures, but they have the option to create a Mii and select a pose for it.

Trivia

• The Play Nintendo page for the Miis lists Mario as their one and only friend.
