TheMii universe refers to theSuper Smash Bros. series' collection of properties that hail from the multitude of games that center aroundMiis, creatable avatars on every Nintendo console since theWii.Wii Sports,Pilotwings,StreetPass Mii Plaza,Tomodachi andMiiverse are all considered sub-universes. ThoughWii Fit could be also be considered a sub-universe, it is considered its own entity due to having its ownnon-Mii playable character.
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 ofMario Artist: Talent Studio for the64DD, and an avatar maker meant for the Game Boy Advancee-Reader was shown in 2002 before being canceled.
During the development ofWii Sports, the developers got the idea of the players themselves being in the game, and made an avatar creation tool they dubbed theMii Channel. The Mii Channel 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.
In theSuper Smash Bros. series[edit]
Miis are known asMii Fighters when used as playable characters, but they use theSuper Smash Bros. series symbol rather than theMii symbol.
Other Mii-related content has been subdivided into its respective sub-universe inSmash, until the Mii symbol debuted in thespirit categories inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate in order to represent games that didn't fall under a particularMii sub-universe, such asNintendo Land andWii Music.
