An avatar maker was included as part of ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Artist: Talent Studio}}'' for the {{iw|nintendowiki|64DD}}, and an avatar maker meant for the Game Boy Advance {{iw|nintendowiki|e-Reader}} was shown in 2002 before being canceled.

This had a benefit of a Mii being tied to the system instead of a single game, meaning multiple other games can integrate a player's Mii and the account tied to it for various purposes. Numerous games for the Wii, [[Nintendo DS]], [[Nintendo 3DS]], [[Wii U]], [[Nintendo Switch]], and mobile devices have all used the Miis or an equivalent in some form, as well as players tying a Mii to the various Nintendo accounts over the years.

The Mii universe refers to the Super Smash Bros. series' collection of properties that hail from the multitude of games that center around Miis, creatable avatars on every Nintendo console since the Wii.

Franchise description[edit]

As far back as the Famicom, Nintendo had shown interest in free-form avatars that represented the player. Shigeru Miyamoto stated during the 1997 Game Developer Conference that the technology was not advanced enough at the time and the concept was suspended. An avatar maker was included as part of Mario Artist: Talent Studio for the 64DD, and an avatar maker meant for the Game Boy Advance e-Reader was shown in 2002 before being canceled.

During the development of Wii Sports, the developers got the idea of the players themselves being in the game, and made an avatar creation tool they dubbed Mii Maker. Mii Maker was so beloved internally that it was decided to be included in the firmware of the Wii itself. This had a benefit of a Mii being tied to the system instead of a single game, meaning multiple other games can integrate a player's Mii and the account tied to it for various purposes. Numerous games for the Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices have all used the Miis or an equivalent in some form, as well as players tying a Mii to the various Nintendo accounts over the years.
