'''Min Min''' ({{ja|ミェンミェン|Myen Myen}}, ''MinMin'') is a character and playable fighter in the Nintendo Switch game {{uv|ARMS}}.

Min Min is one of fifteen fighters from the [[Nintendo Switch]] title ''{{s|armsinstitute|ARMS|game}}''. She is one of a select few people in the world to be born with a gene causing {{s|armsinstitute|ARMS|extendable}}, a phenomenon where the person's arms (or, in rare cases, other body parts) turn into long, stretchy material. In Min Min's case, her ARMS seem to be made of ramen noodles, due to her family operating the famed Mintendo Noodle House. Her left arm can also transform into a dragon arm when fully charged, keeping the ARM equipped to it charged and increasing its power until she gets knocked down. In addition to her ARMS, she also kicks, which enables her to deflect opponents' punches. Min Min competes in the {{s|armsinstitute|ARMS League}} to promote her family's restaurant.

In addition to their extendable {{s|armsinstitute|ARMS|extendable}}, all fighters in the ARMS League have equipment also referred to as {{s|armsinstitute|ARMS|equipment}}, which replace their fists and serve as their primary weapons. Different ARMS have different types (referring to how they act when used to punch), attributes (a usually elemental effect left on any opponents hit when the ARM is charged), and weights (determining what will happen if two ARMS collide; heavier ARMS will beat out lighter ones, while ARMS of equal weight will cancel each other out). Each fighter comes with three standard ARMS, although all ARMS can be unlocked for all fighters through the {{s|armsinstitute|ARM Getter}} minigame. Min Min uses her standard ARMS in ''Super Smash Bros.'', which are as follows:

*The '''{{s|armsinstitute|Ramram}}''' ({{ja|ホットリング|Hotto Ringu}}, ''Hot Ring'') is a medium-weight {{s|armsinstitute|Curve}}-type and has the {{s|armsinstitute|Fire}} attribute.

*The '''{{s|armsinstitute|Megawatt}}''' ({{ja|メガボルト|Megaboruto}}, ''Megavolt'') is a heavy-weight {{s|armsinstitute|Heavy}}-type and has the {{s|armsinstitute|Electric}} attribute.

*The '''{{s|armsinstitute|Dragon}}''' ({{ja|ドラゴン|Doragon}}, ''Dragon'') is a medium-weight {{s|armsinstitute|Beam}}-type and has the {{s|armsinstitute|Fire}} attribute.

An {{uv|ARMS}} representative was announced to be added as [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|DLC]] on March 26th, 2020, but it was not until June 22nd that this character was confirmed to be Min Min. Her extendable ARMS give her a unique control scheme and play-style that encourages playing on the ground from a distance but is at a disadvantage in the air and in close range. She was released as part of Challenger Pack 6 on June 29th, 2020.

Prior to the game's launch, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] considered adding characters from recent Nintendo titles such as ''ARMS'' and ''[[Xenoblade Chronicles (universe)|Xenoblade Chronicles 2]]'' in the base roster, but he was unable to do so because they were announced long after planning and production of ''Ultimate'' began. When it came time to develop a second wave of downloadable content for the game, Sakurai considered Min Min and [[Ninjara]] as possible candidates and, following a request from ''ARMS'' producer {{s|armsinstitute|Kosuke Yabuki}}, the position went to Min Min.

*Min Min is the first DLC newcomer in any ''Smash'' game that came from a new first-party series; {{SSB4|Corrin}}, {{SSBU|Byleth}}, and {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} were from preexisting series.

*Min Min's right ARM in ''ARMS'' is Megawatt by default, while in ''Smash'', it is Ramram.

*Min Min is the fifth female DLC fighter introduced in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series after female [[Corrin]], [[Bayonetta]], [[Kazooie]], and female [[Byleth]]. As Corrin and Byleth are alternate costumes to their male counterparts and Kazooie is paired with [[Banjo]], she is the second DLC fighter to be exclusively female after Bayonetta.

*Min Min is the fourth fighter to originate from a fighting game, following [[Ryu]], [[Ken]], and [[Terry]]. Of these four, she is the first female character and first-party character to come from this genre. She is also the first to debut in a 3D fighting game.

*Min Min marks the first time a new franchise is represented by a fighter who isn't the flagship character or mascot in some form (such as one who is the main protagonist, or prominently featured in official media in some form, such as box art).

** In the words of ''ARMS'' producer Kosuke Yabuki, this is because he claims "every fighter in ''ARMS'' is the protagonist".

*Min Min, {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} and {{SSB4|Lucas}} are the only fighters to already have appeared as collectibles prior to being added as playable characters within the same ''Smash'' game.

**Out of them, Min Min is the only one who was a newcomer, and the only one to be a [[spirit]] rather than a [[trophy]].

*Min Min is the first playable character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to have Chinese voice lines. She is also the only character to speak a real-life language other than English or Japanese in all regions of ''Ultimate''.

*Min Min, [[Dark Samus]], [[Wii Fit Trainer]], [[Bayonetta]] and [[Inkling]] are the only fighters to have never appeared on an exclusively handheld console outside of ''Smash Bros.''

**Coincidentally, each of these characters are female by default.

*Min Min is the second fighter whose system of origin is the Nintendo Switch, the first being Byleth (discounting ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'').

*Min Min has the shortest duration of debuting in a non-playable role before becoming a playable character at 1 year and 6 months, as she debuted in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as a Spirit before becoming a playable fighter in said game via DLC.
