'''Miis''' are digital avatars used in many [[Nintendo]] consoles, including the [[Wii]], [[Nintendo 3DS]], [[Wii U]], and [[Nintendo Switch]]. Miis are based on human beings, and players can design what their Miis look like and use them in compatible games. Miis have appeared in at least one game of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] on each of these consoles.

Miis get their name from how the word "me" would be written in {{wp|Romanization of Japanese|rōmaji}}, in the same way that the Wii gets its name from a similar spelling of "we."

==History==

[[File:Hiroji Kiyotake Mii.png|thumb|100px|Hiroji Kiyotake's Mii appearing in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'']]

In the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]], Miis first appear in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', where they are used in several [[microgame]]s. Miis appear in a few other microgames in later ''WarioWare'' games. In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]''{{'}}s [[Tightrope (microgame)|Tightrope]], based on the Tightrope Walk minigame in ''[[miiwiki:Wii Fit|Wii Fit]]'', the object is to prevent a male Mii from falling while holding a pole and crossing a tightrope. In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', the save file's Mii appears in the [[Tomodachi Life]] microgame, and the Mii's name is used in [[Dungeon Dilemma]].

Miis have a few other roles in the ''WarioWare'' series. In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' and ''WarioWare Gold'', they represent personal files for the players. Additionally, in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', Miis are used in the multiplayer mode to represent those playing, and the game's developers are represented in the credits as Miis wearing different costumes, such as Mario's and Wario's overalls. In ''WarioWare Gold'', the selected Mii is the protagonist in the story.

[[File:Chomping Frenzy MP8.png|thumb|left|A Mii playing the [[Chomping Frenzy]] mini-game in ''Mario Party 8'']]

In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Miis are playable characters and are sometimes seen in the background of mini-games, which are only playable in the "Extras" section. The Miis in this game wear overalls, gloves, and shoes like the Mario brothers. The shirt they wear depends on the player's color (blue for P1, red for P2, green for P3, and yellow for P4), not their favorite color. Miis are also available to personalize players' file. Miis have no voices in this game.

Miis are playable in most games in the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]], since ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. All of their playable appearances are in the home console releases, except the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', which even has them as only one of the three characters who can be played in any event, alongside [[Mario]] and [[Sonic]]. In ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'', Mii characters have four possible predetermined stats, based on their size, and they do not have any voices, unlike the other characters.

 

Since the Wii version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', the player can customize their Miis to wear different clothing items and accessories, including ones based on the playable characters, and doing so alters their Mii's stats accordingly. In ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', some of the bosses from Festival Mode also give off their costumes for Miis to wear once defeated. In the Wii version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', various Mii costumes can be earned when playing in the Olympic events and the London Party mode. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', Miis will actually show what type their clothing makes them. Like with their playable status, the Nintendo 3DS version of ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games'' is the only handheld ''Mario & Sonic'' game where Miis can be customized. The game also allows for their gear to be customized, granting them different effects in the events. In the Wii U version, the player controls the Mii of the account around Copacabana Beach, and competes against other Miis in tournaments to win medals.

The player's Mii is the primary character in the [[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)#Road to Rio|Road to Rio]] mode of ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games'' for the Nintendo 3DS. It also has Miis who act as townsfolk and opponents, but unlike the playable Miis, they have text dialogue. Two Miis, known as the [[Boy in Mario Suit and Boy in Sonic Suit]], also appear as recurring characters.

''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'' is the only unique game of the ''Mario & Sonic'' series that does not have any Miis. Part of the reasoning for their exclusion was due to the release of Sega's ''{{wp|Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - The Official Video Game}}'' in the same year, also available for the [[Nintendo Switch]], which featured a similar premise of avatar characters competing in the Olympics with customizable costumes.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=@leecocker|date=August 6, 2024|url=x.com/leecocker/status/1820901071876690317|title=There were multiple reasons. Part of reasoning was we were releasing a Avatar style Olympic Video Game with a “create your own athlete” with costumes very similar to the Miis and both games were releasing on the Switch.|publisher=X|accessdate=August 7, 2024}}</ref>

[[File:DrMario_WiiWare.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|A Mii replacing [[Dr. Mario]] as the main character in ''Dr. Mario Online Rx'']]

In ''[[Dr. Mario Online Rx]]'', Miis are able to replace [[Dr. Mario]] as the playable character. Here, they must maneuver [[Capsule]]s tossed into a glass jar in order to destroy the Viruses. In order for a virus to be destroyed, it must be connected to at least one capsule of the same color. Unlike Doctor Mario, Miis speak. Miis can tell the player how many minutes have passed and how many capsules they've thrown.

[[File:Mii MKWii screenshot.png|thumb|Mii (Outift A) driving in a [[kart]] in ''Mario Kart Wii'']]

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Miis first appear as spectators, found in various race courses such as [[Daisy Circuit]]. They also appear in posters, and other signs, as seen in [[Wii Coconut Mall|Coconut Mall]], and represent different players on in-game licenses.

After winning the Special Cup on 100cc, Miis can be unlocked as playable characters. There are two outfits available for Miis, and both are unlocked individually. The first one (Outfit A), which is available when the Mii character option is unlocked, is a plain racing suit of his/her favorite color, represented by a blue Mii logo. The other (Outfit B), which is unlocked by unlocking all 32 Expert Staff Ghosts in Time Trials mode, depends on the gender of the Mii, represented by a red Mii logo. If the Mii is male, he receives blue overalls over a shirt of his favorite color (similar to [[Mario]]), and if the Mii is female, she receives a minidress of her favorite color, loosely resembling [[Princess Peach]]'s gown, though unlike Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina, female Miis do not get a separate outfit for bikes. Originally, a [[List of Mario Kart Wii pre-release and unused content|Mii Outfit C]] was going to be added, but was cut from the final version of the game.

Miis also receive generic voices for the first time, not counting the small background noises they made in ''[[miiwiki:Wii Play|Wii Play]]''{{'}}s Shooting Range event. There are four different voice recordings for both male and female Miis; a different voice is given to each gender and favorite color combination, with the pitch being higher or lower depending on the Mii's size. The weight class for the Mii driver depends on the size given to it in the Mii Channel. If the Mii's height is above average, then it will be large; if the Mii's height is below average, then it will be medium; and if the Mii's height stays average while the weight is below average, then it will be small. All Miis have +3 speed and [[Mini-Turbo]] bonuses regardless of size.

A kart's color scheme changes depending on the Mii's gender: primarily blue for males, and primarily pink for females. Notably, when any player plays as a Mii, statues and pictures in various courses, including one battle course, seen in [[Moonview Highway]], [[Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Luigi Circuit]], [[Wii DK Summit|DK Summit]], [[Dry Dry Ruins (race course)|Dry Dry Ruins]], [[Toad's Factory]], [[Wii Koopa Cape|Koopa Cape]], [[Wii Wario's Gold Mine|Wario's Gold Mine]], [[Daisy Circuit]], and [[Block Plaza]], will replace the character heads with that of Mii heads, consisting of the Miis saved on the player's Wii console, as long as at least one Mii is created on the player's system. Depending on whichever Mii is present on the player's license, the cutscene that plays during the game's credits will show that Mii's head on the Luigi statue regardless of whether or not the player was playing as their Mii.

[[File:Mii MK7.png|thumb|upright=0.85|A Mii from ''Mario Kart 7'']]

Miis later appear as racing participants in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] title, ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. They can be unlocked by completing all the Grand Prix cups in 50cc and are the only unlockable characters who do not have to be unlocked from a 150cc cup. Unlike in ''Mario Kart Wii'', however, all the Miis get the same stat boosts and are the same weight (in this case, medium, as [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]), which are at around average levels, and they have new voice clips. Miis also appear as spectators in several courses. Also, the Miis have two of their own courses, [[Wuhu Loop]] & [[Maka Wuhu]], as well as their own battle course, [[3DS Wuhu Town|Wuhu Town]]. All of these courses are based on the Wuhu Island setting, a fictional location that first appeared in ''[[miiwiki:Wii Sports Resort|Wii Sports Resort]]''.

[[File:Mario_Super_Sluggers_Mii.png|thumb|A Mii ready to bat in ''Mario Super Sluggers'']]

Miis are playable characters in the game  ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Miis cannot be chosen as team captains, but up to 8 Miis can be used. Mii stats in this game are 6/10 and [[chemistry]] with other characters is based solely on favorite color (excluding [[Diddy Kong]]) e.g. red Miis have chemistry with [[Mario]], green Miis have chemistry with [[Luigi]], pink with [[Princess Peach|Peach]], etc. Miis of the same color but opposite genders also have chemistry with each other. Also, they possess the quick throw ability, which allows the players to make faster throws to teammates.

All male Miis are right-handed batters in this game, while the female Miis are left-handed batters and unaffected by [[Heart Swing]]. However, both genders are right-handed fielders. They do not speak in the game.

[[File:MSM Commecial Mii.png|thumb|left|Male and female Miis appearing during a commercial for ''Mario Sports Mix'' in North America]]

Miis are one of the nineteen playable participants in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. They are the all-rounder (All-Around) type, with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]], and [[Ninja (character)|Ninja]]. Regardless of their height and width, they all receive the same stats: 3/5 in every stat. The color of their outfits depend on their favorite color and their clothing depends on their gender; if the Mii is male, he receives a sporting outfit, while if the Mii is female, she receives a skirt. Miis are also seen as spectators.

Their special ability is very similar to [[Mario]]'s special ability; they throw the object into a goal which can be blocked by a struggle of the opponent. In [[Mario Sports Mix#Dodgeball|Dodgeball]], the shot causes a damage radius that hits anyone inside the radius. Miis receive voices in this game, a quality somewhat rare in games they appear playable in.

On a side note, Miis will never appear as opponents in [[Mario Sports Mix#Tournament|tournaments]].

Miis make a real life appearance in various commercials to help promote the game in North America. They are sports anchors during these commercials under the names Mii-guel (later Michael) and Mii-chelle (later Lisa),{{ref needed}} showing gameplay footage to the players in various segments, such as the Super Top 3 Show. They also announced the [[Mario Press Conference]] on the day of the game's release, asking questions for Mario. During the opening to the conference, the Miis' names are listed as Miichael and Miimi.<ref>{{cite|author=vini64|date=December 22, 2020|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHFyi3kj4jU|title=Mario Sports Mix - Commercials collection|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=April 28, 2023}}</ref>

Miis appear as playable characters from the beginning of ''[[Fortune Street]]''. If the player decides to start a solo profile, they have to choose a Mii for their profile. The only characters the player can use in solo mode is their Miis. The player can unlock clothes to dress up their Mii in the Dressing Room. Miis do not say anything to the other players; the time where they would talk is replaced by two of the Mii's opponents talking to each other. The color of the Mii's shop depends on the color of the Mii, but if one or more Miis have the same color, they will be changed depending upon order chosen.

Miis also appear in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] title ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'' as playable characters. Miis can be given different stats when they wear different clothes or costumes and have different rackets. When a Mii is equipped with a full gear set based on a character, enemy, or item, all stats will be boosted. Miis do not earn a star rank after winning all Mario Open cups. Only human players can control Miis; they cannot be selected as CPU-controlled characters.

 

Miis make their first appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' as playable characters only in the Boost Rush, Challenge, and Coin Battle Modes (although they were [[List of New Super Mario Bros. U pre-release and unused content|intended]] to also be playable in the Story Mode). The Miis can now use the same abilities as [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]], and [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]], as they can use power-ups like the [[Super Acorn]] and [[Fire Flower]]. If the Miis are selected as either P1, P2, P3, or P4, each will be colored with the overalls of Mario, Luigi, [[Wario]], and a coloration similar to Luigi's blue alternate costume from the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. Randomly generated Miis appear in various places of the background in [[Boost Mode|Boost Rush Mode]]. Miis have the ability to play with or without a hat and female ones wear shorter overalls, revealing black socks underneath. In this game, the Miis reuse their voices from ''Mario Kart 7''.

 

In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', the player's Mii can also be used if a trick is done on the [[Flying Squirrel Ovation]] level in [[Superstar Road#New Super Luigi U|Superstar Road]] which has the player holding down {{button|wii|CCZL}} on the {{button|wiiu|GamePad}}/[[File:Wii U Pro Controller White.png|18px|link=Wii U#Pro Controller]] or {{button|wii|B}} on the {{button|wii|Wiimote}} while selecting the level (if this trick is used on a different level in the game, the player plays as [[Nabbit]] instead).

 

 

Miis return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Here, they are referred to as '''Ghost Miis''',<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/manual-WiiU-Super_Mario_3D-World.pdf|title=''Super Mario 3D World'' electronic manual|page=15}}</ref> and serve as representatives of people who send messages and ghost data through Miiverse. The player can spot them standing around on the world map, where their messages pop up when [[Mario]] and co. get close. Players can also opt to send out ghost data on completed levels, and try to beat the time records on other people's ghost data as well. The player can race up to three Miis at once, in an attempt to beat their record. In the game, the Miis appear in [[Sprixie Princess]] costumes corresponding to their favorite color, and are shown to mimic the exact movement of the person using the Mii (using Luigi's [[Scuttle]], running on all fours like the [[Cat Mario|Cat Suit]], etc.). Miis also have voices in the game while doing a type of move, once again based on their gender and favorite color combination. Occasionally, a Mii will have a present behind it that, when opened, will either contain coins or a power-up. However, as of November 7, 2017, [[Miiverse]] is discontinued and Ghost Miis no longer appear in the game.

 

 

 

In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', the player's Mii appears as part of their Maker profile. The player can dress their Mii up with various ''Super Mario''-themed [[List of Mii outfits in Super Mario Maker 2|hats and outfits]] obtained by clearing certain objectives in the game.<ref>Nintendo (May 15, 2019). [https://youtu.be/jPi-u0D8sQ4 Super Mario Maker 2 Direct 5.15.2019]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved on May 24, 2019.</ref>

 

In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', the [[Mario Golf: World Tour#Castle_Club_2|Castle Club]] is a game mode where players play as their Mii and compete in tournaments and various other challenges. Like in ''Mario Tennis Open'', player can customize their Miis with various clothing and clubs to alter their stats. The Miis in this game reuse the voices from ''Mario Kart Wii''. In its post-hole animations, the player's Mii is joined by six others that wear the player's chosen color. Many more also appear in the tournament awarding ceremony wearing regular clothes, but the only Miis that wear costumes or clothing from the boutique are the player's, and the top three finishers.

 

 

Miis are the only playable characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series represented with the ''Super Smash Bros.'' emblem and the only fighters in the series not to be fought in All-Star Mode.

Miis (named '''Mii Fighters''') were confirmed to be playable fighters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' at Nintendo's E3 2014 event. They represent the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series in their emblem, making them the first playable fighters to represent the series. When creating a Mii Fighter, the player can select it to have one of three different classes: '''Mii Brawlers''', '''Mii Gunners''', and '''Mii Swordfighters'''. Brawlers specialize in fighting melee style, while Swordfighters and Gunners utilize a sword and a gun in their movesets, respectively. Each class can select four out of twelve special moves, making up a total of thirty-six special moves. When playing online, Miis can only be used when playing in With Friends mode.

 

 

 

 

 

Mii Fighters return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Their proportions have been altered so that they have smaller heads, and their default clothing have been altered as well. Additionally, the Mii Fighters are unique in the sense that they are the only characters to retain custom specials. Though Mii Fighters still have customizable outfits, their body proportions cannot be adjusted in-game; Mii Brawlers have set weights of 94 units, Mii Swordfighters have set weights of 100 units, and Mii Gunners have set weights of 104 units.

Along with being able to create a custom Mii Fighter, the default ones representing each type can be unlocked after rescuing them in the [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Adventure|World of Light]]. When a Mii Fighter type has been rescued, players will also gain access to using their own custom Mii Fighters in the World of Light.

The Fighting Mii Team reappears as the main opponents of Mob Smash (a mode replacing the similar Multi-Man mode from previous games), having the same role and function as before.

===Other appearances===

[[File:MiiStrikers.png|thumb|Miis in ''Mario Strikers Charged'' used to represent the player]]

Miis also appear in games such as ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', ''[[New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' to represent the player, similar to an avatar. In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' (though not in the Nvidia Shield and ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'' ports) and [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|its sequel]], players can personalize their files with Miis. This has also been done with other non-''Super Mario'' related games. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', players can use their Mii on Wi-Fi to represent themselves. In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'', Miis were likewise used to represent users with a profile, which allowed them to post levels in the Community mode, although this is no longer possible due to the discontinuation of [[Miiverse]].

Miis appear along with Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad in the [[Wii U]] experience game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Mii]]''. If the Miis are selected as either P1, P2, P3, or P4, each will be colored with the overalls of Mario, Luigi, [[Wario]], and Mario's colors from ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', respectively, just like ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''.

 

====Check Mii Out Channel====

One of the channels on the Wii is the [[miiwiki:Check Mii Out Channel|Check Mii Out Channel]] (or the Mii Contest Channel in the PAL region), where Nintendo holds contests in which participants must create a Mii that looks most like a certain person or character. Some of the contests have been ''Super Mario''-related:

*[[Mario]], without [[Mario Cap|his hat]], was the first contest in the Check Mii Out Channel.

*[[Luigi]], without [[Luigi Cap|his hat]], was a later contest.

*Another contest was "Someone like Mario, but a little different".

*A contest focused on "someone that helps a princess", which makes a reference to Mario and Link.

*One contest was "[[Wario]] without his hat".
