Miis are digital avatars that appear in the Mii Channel, Mii Maker, StreetPass Mii Plaza, Miiverse, and various other Mii-centered games and applications. Miis get their name from how the word "me" would be written in rōmaji, in the same way that the Wii gets its name from a similar spelling of "we." Miis are based off of human beings, and players can design what their Miis look like and use them in compatible games.

Shigeru Miyamoto had wanted to create digital avatars for Nintendo consoles since the Nintendo Entertainment System and kept trying to create them with every system released, such as the Nintendo 64DD add-on and Nintendo DS.

Players can start from scratch or create a Mii from an existing template Mii. Only 100 Miis fit in one Wii console, while each individual Wii Remote can hold ten Miis. Miis can also be created on the Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and the Nintendo Switch, as well as through the smartphone application Miitomo. They can be created either from scratch or from a photo, using Mii Maker, where they can be edited as well. Also, Miis can be made into QR Codes, to be scanned from another Nintendo 3DS, or a Wii U. Each 3DS and Switch system can have up to 100 Miis, and each Wii U system can have up to 3,000 Miis.

On May 24, 2018, Nintendo introduced a browser-based Mii editor called Mii Studio. The editor is available for all Nintendo Account/My Nintendo users in all regions. Mii Studio supports all Mii attributes and standards introduced for the Nintendo Switch. Up to six Mii avatars can be created at a time, including any Mii imported from a linked Nintendo Network ID.

History

WarioWare series

WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Hiroji Kiyotake's Mii appearing in WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Miis appeared with Wario in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. In this game, the Miis are used as personal files for the players, and are used in several microgames and in the multiplayer mode to represent those playing. The developers of the game also appear in the credits as Miis wearing different costumes, such as Mario's and Wario's overalls.

WarioWare: D.I.Y.

In the microgame Tightrope (one of 9-Volt's microgames) in WarioWare: D.I.Y., the purpose of the game is to prevent a male Mii from falling while holding a pole and crossing a tightrope. This microgame is based on the Tightrope Walk minigame in Wii Fit.

WarioWare Gold

Like in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, the player uses Miis for personal files, and the selected Mii is the protagonist in the story. Additionally, the player's Mii appears in the "Tomodachi Life" microgame in 9-Volt's stage.

Mario Party 8

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.

Mario & Sonic series

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Miis are playable characters, just as capable of competing as the characters from the Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog series. Their stats are all five out of ten. In this game, the Miis have no voices and are simply called "Mii" during events.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

A Mii being customized in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

Miis return in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. This time, Miis can be customized to wear different clothes and accessories. Unlike the previous game, their stats differ depending on the gear. They can even wear different costumes of the playable characters in the game. Some of the bosses from Festival Mode also give off their costumes for Miis to wear once defeated.

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games

Miis appear again as playable in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. As in the previous installment, players can customize their Miis with accessories and wear various costumes. These are earned when playing in the Olympic events and the London Party mode.

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

In Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, just like in the three previous installments on the Wii, the player can use their Miis as characters. As with the previous three installments, Miis are customizable; however, this time around Miis will actually show what type their clothing makes them.

Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

Miis appear in Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games once again as playable characters. Unlike previous installments, they are now playable in both the console and handheld version of the game. In the 3DS version, they are customizable as they were in past console games and are one of three characters who can be used in any event, the others being Mario and Sonic. They are the primary character in the Road to Rio mode of the game. Other Miis who act as townsfolk and opponents also appear in the story mode, and unlike the playable Miis, they have text dialogue.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 marks the first complete absence of Miis in the series.

Dr. Mario Online Rx

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 Capsules 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.

Mario Kart series

Mario Kart Wii

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 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 the Mii's 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 color (similar to Mario), and if the Mii is female, she receives a minidress of her color, loosely resembling Princess Peach's gown, though unlike her, female Miis do not get a separate outfit for bikes. Originally, a 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 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, DK Summit, Dry Dry Ruins, Toad's Factory, Koopa Cape, 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. However, if the player has no Miis, the heads will not be replaced. 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.

Mario Kart 7

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 on any engine class 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, Wuhu Town. All of these courses are based on the Wuhu Island setting, a fictional location that first appeared in Wii Sports Resort.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

All amiibo racing suits as of version 4.1 of the game

Miis appear as unlockable playable characters in Mario Kart 8. Here, they are the only unlockable characters who are not unlocked at random, always being the eighth character to be unlocked. Their weight class is based on their size, just as in Mario Kart Wii, and their voices from that game return but in a higher pitch. The Miis also sport a new outfit unlike their appearances in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7 where they now wear a new racing suit (which is similar to the biker suits that Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, and Pink Gold Peach wear) with some white trimmings, a helmet with their color, and a light-colored scarf similar to the ones Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina wear along with black short boots. However, certain colored Miis have a unique coloring scheme. As of version 4.1, the player can also scan one of 19 amiibo into the game to obtain a racing suit and helmet for Miis based upon the scanned character. If the Miis have not been unlocked yet, they will be when any amiibo is scanned.

Miis return in the Nintendo Switch port Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, this time available from the start, a first in the Mario Kart series. All of the amiibo racing suits return in this game along with an additional 20th costume based on the Splatoon series.

In addition to their playable roles, Miis also constitute the audience in Mario Kart TV and represent players in online and local lobbies. In Mario Kart 8, Miis in online lobbies wear the regular Mii outfit of a colored shirt; this was changed in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to have them wearing default racing suits that match their color.

Mario Kart Tour

Alice, a Mii from Wii Sports Club and Wii Party U, wearing the Mario suit in Mario Kart Tour

Miis appear in Mario Kart Tour starting with their self-named tour in 2022, the Mii Tour, and they have their own self-named cup, the Mii Cup. They are High-End drivers available in different racing suits which come in waves. All of the standard racing suit colors (except for light-blue), along with all of the Super Mario-themed amiibo racing suits from Mario Kart 8 return in this game, while the rest of the racing suits are new. Unlike in Mario Kart 8, the black suit now covers the entire helmet in black, rather than just the top stripe like the other colors.

Mii Racing Suits only gain one extra favorite track upon reaching levels three and six, rather than two each like with other High-End drivers, karts or gliders. Each racing suit has their own special skill, with suits based on a playable character sharing their special skill with their character (with the sole exception of the Daisy Mii Racing Suit, which uses Triple Bananas while Daisy herself uses the Heart). Some racing suits have unique Jump Boost animations and race finishing animations, in some cases being based on the character the suit is designed after (in the case of the bronze, silver, and gold suits, they use Metal Mario's animations).

During the 2022 and 2023 Mii Tours, the player could collect team tokens by racing as a Mii.

Players that create a Mii on their Nintendo Account can add that Mii to the game and assign them to the racing suits in the settings, with up to ten different Miis able to be saved. Otherwise, the player can choose a pre-made Mii instead, which consists of the CPU Miis featured in Wii Sports Club and Wii Party U. They have new voice clips in this game which, unlike previous games, are the same regardless of the Mii's gender. This is also the first time in the series where Miis can appear as CPU opponents.
