The Mii avatars, introduced by Nintendo for its Wii console, have become a beloved and unique way for players to express their personality and creativity. These little digital representations of ourselves are customizable with a wide array of features, allowing players to create everything from realistic renditions to wildly exaggerated versions of themselves. Over the years, Miis have evolved, but one thing has always remained: the opportunity for players to be as quirky and bizarre as they want with their Mii designs.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Miis is how players have used them for various in-game activities and hobbies. While many players stick to the classic sports games or simple social interactions, others take things to a whole new level by involving their Miis in some of the weirdest, most unexpected hobbies imaginable. Here are some of the strangest Mii hobby choices ever seen, showcasing the limits of creativity (or lack thereof) in the Mii universe.
1. Extreme Competitive Sleepers
One of the more peculiar trends seen with Miis involves them participating in “competitive sleeping” challenges. This hobby often appears in casual games like Tomodachi Life, where players can manage their Mii’s life in a virtual world. However, some players have taken it a step further, creating competitions to see who can sleep the longest or be the most successful napper.
In these bizarre scenarios, Miis are dressed in the oddest pajamas or sleepwear, with the goal being to out-sleep each other in a completely unrealistic way. Some players even design entire “sleeping competitions” where Miis are pitted against each other in a race to see who can fall asleep the quickest and stay unconscious the longest.
2. Mii Pottery Masters
Another strange hobby that has emerged with Miis is pottery. Yes, you read that right—pottery. While this hobby isn’t featured in every game, some players have gotten creative and used Mii avatars in games like Wii Party to simulate crafting pottery. In these virtual pottery workshops, Miis can be seen shaping clay, spinning the wheel, and—occasionally—creating a tiny masterpiece or an absurdly lopsided bowl. The bizarre part? These Mii pottery competitions often have an artistic slant to them, with players “judging” each other’s creations based purely on aesthetics and how strange the designs look.
While some players have a very serious approach to the craft (in the virtual sense, of course), others lean into the absurdity, crafting misshapen lumps of clay that defy all conventional artistic standards. It’s a comical yet oddly charming hobby that showcases just how random and fun the Mii community can be.
3. Mii Fashion Week
While fashion is often thought of as a serious industry, it has also been turned into a bizarre hobby for Miis. Some players create “Fashion Weeks” within their Mii universes, where they design outfits for their avatars to wear during runway shows. These Mii Fashion Weeks are often over-the-top, with outfits that defy logic and creativity in the best way possible.
Imagine a Mii strutting down a runway in an outfit made entirely out of mismatched textures or completely inappropriate themes—like wearing an ice cream cone as a hat or sporting a tuxedo with sneakers. The more outrageous, the better. Some players even assign judging panels, critiquing the “fashion choices” of each Mii based on their absurdity. It’s as if the fashion world collided with a surreal dream, and the Miis are the runway stars.
4. Mii Wrestling
It seems that, no matter how strange the hobby, there will always be people who take it to an extreme. Mii Wrestling is a perfect example of this. While many Mii-related games offer athletic activities or events, some players have transformed their Miis into fierce professional wrestlers, engaging in over-the-top, often slapstick, battles.
In these Mii wrestling leagues, Miis often wear outlandish costumes, from flamboyant capes to mismatched tights. The battles themselves are just as bizarre, often featuring improbable moves like body slams performed by tiny avatars or ridiculous acrobatic stunts. Sometimes, the Miis will even “fight” in nontraditional settings, like a spa or an art gallery, making for a truly absurd spectacle. This hobby isn’t about realism; it’s about making the most entertaining—and weird—wrestling experience possible.
5. Mii Firefighters Who Fight Fires with Ice Cream
In some Miiverse posts and Tomodachi Life videos, a bizarre trend emerged where Miis were portrayed as firefighters, but with one significant twist: they would fight fires using ice cream cones instead of hoses. This quirky hobby caught on when players began creating entire fire-fighting units, with each Mii assigned the role of “firefighter,” but instead of saving lives with water, they used ice cream as their weapon of choice.
The ice cream cones, naturally, are ineffective in putting out real fires, but that’s the point. The oddball combination of trying to extinguish flames with a dessert has become a surprisingly popular trend within the Mii community, with players sharing videos of their Miis trying (and failing) to save their cities in the most ridiculous ways.
6. Mii Surrealist Art Galleries
There’s something intrinsically funny about the concept of Miis participating in art galleries, especially when the art in question is a mix of surrealism, randomness, and total absurdity. In this hobby, players create entire art galleries within their games, with Miis serving as the “artists” displaying their most bizarre and incomprehensible works.
The galleries themselves feature Miis standing next to their “creations,” which might include a painting of a sandwich wearing a hat or a sculpture of a floating teapot. These art exhibitions attract a community of Mii art critics who offer commentary about the meaning of the works, typically with tongues planted firmly in cheeks. It’s a hilarious example of how Miis can take a simple concept—like creating art—and turn it into a quirky, surreal experience.
7. Mii Ghost Hunters
For players who are into the supernatural or just love playing horror games, the hobby of Mii Ghost Hunting has become an unexpected phenomenon. Miis, dressed in their best ghost-hunting gear, embark on adventures to capture or interact with virtual ghosts. This quirky hobby takes Miis out of their usual happy, animated settings and puts them in eerie, supernatural environments, complete with haunted mansions and abandoned buildings.
These “ghost hunting” sessions often take on an absurd tone, as Miis wander around with silly expressions or wield ghost-catching tools that make little sense. In true Mii fashion, it’s all about the weird fun and not about having a serious spooky experience. Miis trying to catch ghosts with oversized vacuums or goofy gadgets is both charming and funny.
8. Mii Opera Singers
Opera singing, known for its grandiose performances and dramatic flair, might not seem like something you’d associate with a tiny, pixelated character. Yet, within the Mii community, a strange but endearing hobby has emerged: Mii opera singing. Players create entire operatic performances where their Miis belt out opera-style songs, often with hilariously out-of-tune or overly dramatic renditions.
These Miis may be seen performing at “grand” opera houses, dressed in extravagant costumes and serenading imaginary audiences. While it might not win any musical awards, it provides endless entertainment as Miis scream out their arias in the most comically exaggerated way possible. It’s a weird combination of high culture and low-tech humor that’s hard to ignore.
9. Mii Yoga Enthusiasts
While yoga is known for its calming benefits, some Mii players have taken it to a whole new level of oddity. These Miis participate in yoga sessions, but rather than focusing on mindfulness and relaxation, they engage in the most bizarre poses imaginable. Miis twist their bodies into impossible shapes, create contorted “yoga poses,” and sometimes even incorporate strange props like oversized fruit or absurdly large hats.
The focus is not on achieving the perfect stretch but on creating the most ridiculous and impractical yoga positions. It’s as though the Miis have mastered the art of comedic flexibility, bending and twisting in ways that no human could ever achieve.
Conclusion
The Mii universe is full of possibilities, and some players have taken full advantage of that by engaging in the weirdest, most whimsical hobbies imaginable. From competitive sleeping to Mii ghost hunting and surreal art galleries, the bizarre choices players make for their Miis prove that the world of Nintendo avatars is as diverse as it is delightfully strange. Whether these hobbies are intended to be a serious form of expression or just a way to have fun, they reflect the creative and often absurd nature of the Mii community. Ultimately, it’s the quirky, unpredictable nature of these hobbies that makes Miis so special—there are no limits to the weirdness that can emerge in their world.
