A Mii is a personal digital avatar character that a player of Nintendo's later consoles and handhelds can create for themselves for use in Nintendo games. Miis were introduced for the Wii alongside the system's launch late in 2006, and have since continuously appeared for use on the Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and certain Nintendo DS titles their respective game libraries. Miis often make cameo appearances - playable or not - in Nintendo games and are sometimes the focal point, such as software like Find Mii and the Tomodachi series, and gained representation in the lineup for Super Smash Bros. 4, eight years after their original introduction.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
While not playable, any Miis saved on the Wii console could be used as personal icons in the game's Friend Roster.
There exist multiple rumors on the inclusion of Miis in Brawl, with most claiming that Masahiro Sakurai did not want Miis in the game, saying "On one hand, they have an innocent charm to them that could be ruined if they were in a fighting game." No website or print source, however, is known to corroborate these claims. This quote was, however, used when explaining why Villager or another Animal Crossing character wasn't added in Brawl.
During E3 2014, when introducing the Mii Fighters, Sakurai claimed that Miis were considered as potential playable characters in Brawl, but were ultimately not included because "it didn't seem right at the time for Miis to be punching and kicking".[1]
In Super Smash Bros. 4
As a playable fighter
Miis, under the name of Mii Fighters, are customizable fighters in Super Smash Bros. 4. They can be one of three types: the Gunner, which places emphasis on long-range attacks, the Brawler, with its close-range fighting style, fast movement and powerful physical strikes, and the Swordfighter, the weapons master. Each of them will have twelve unique special moves. They can also be customized with different clothes and accessories. Despite not originating from it, Mii Fighters are counted as a part of the Super Smash Bros. universe.
Stage appearances
Mii characters also appear in the background of several stages. In these cases, the Miis featured can either be those already on the console, or random Miis generated by the game.
- Find Mii: As in the game of the same name, players' Miis appear in cages.
- Pilotwings: Miis appear in the background of the stage, flying using Rocket Belts.
- Tomodachi Life: Miis may appear in the rooms behind the fighters.
- Wuhu Island: Miis appear in the background of the stage playing minigames.
In Multi-Man Smash
Additionally, Mii Fighters appear as enemies (under the name "Fighting Mii Team") in the game's Multi-Man Mode, as well as the retooled Classic Mode. Succeeding the Fighting Alloys from Brawl, members of the team are taken from Miis in the player's Mii Maker, though randomly generated Miis are also present in the mode. All Miis featured as Mii Fighters are randomly chosen to be Brawlers, Gunners, or Swordfighters, but they cannot use special moves or grab ledges.
Mii Fighters have a unique costume when fought as part of the Fighting Mii Team, consisting of a black shirt with a large, white M on it, as well as stylised trousers featuring some stripes shaped like the lowercase letter I.
In Smash Tour
Miis will be used as the players' tokens in the boardgame-like mode, Smash Tour, simply being used to move around between spaces and collect pick-ups. They appear to wear the same outfits that they do in the Mii Maker as opposed to their standard Mii Fighter uniforms. It is not currently known if they can be played as in this mode however.
Trivia
- Mii, Palutena, Villager, Little Mac, and Bowser Jr. are the only characters that made non-playable appearances in Brawl to be later upgraded into playable characters in SSB4.
- Mii Fighters don't appear in Smash 4's All-Star mode, making them the first and only playable characters with this distinction.
