A female Mii as she appears in Mario Kart Wii.
Miis are customizable characters that were debuted alongside the Wii via the Mii Channel. Their name is obviously a reference to the name of the Wii and the fact that the character can reflect the player (and of course others as well). They've since become a phenomenon and arguably the mascot of the console.
Once the player has created a Mii, they're then allowed to place the character in a game of their choice and turn them into a playable character.
On the Nintendo DS, Miis are used in the game Personal Trainer: Walking.
The Miis live in a small pocket-dimension called Mii Plaza. They have no true homeland other than this, although they have colonized Wuhu Island
Appearances
Wii series
A Standard Male Mii
[[
The Wii series of games includes the likes of Wii Sports, Wii Play, Wii Fit and Wii Music. These games' main characters happen to be Miis, and they're used in nearly every mode of each game. If the mini-game doesn't suit the Mii, then they're usually seen in the background (example: In Wii Play's ping pong game, they're seen around the table cheering you on. The table tennis mode in Wii Sports Resort actually had the Miis playing the game).
