The Funniest Times Miis Have Tried to Solve a Mystery

The Mii characters, a popular feature in Nintendo games, are known for their customizable avatars that reflect the player’s likeness. However, what makes them truly hilarious is how these often simplistic, quirky characters react in various scenarios. Over the years, Miis have found themselves in a variety of hilarious situations, especially in games like Tomodachi Life and Miitopia. While solving mysteries isn’t their typical forte, these oddball characters somehow manage to give us a few chuckles in their attempts. Here are some of the funniest times Miis have tried to solve a mystery:

1. The Missing Socks Case in Tomodachi Life

In Tomodachi Life, the Miis live in an apartment-like environment where they interact with one another, engage in activities, and sometimes, find themselves in odd situations. One such instance involves the mystery of the missing socks. A Mii reports that their socks have mysteriously vanished, prompting the other Miis to investigate. Naturally, the detective work is less than stellar. One Mii is seen standing dramatically with a magnifying glass, trying to inspect the air around them. Another suspects the pet hamster of the culprit, while the more logical Miis draw out a map of the apartment. But despite their best efforts, they never really figure out the mystery. The entire investigation is more of a comedy of errors than a sharp detective story.

2. The “Haunted” Resort Investigation in Miitopia

In Miitopia, the Miis take on roles in a fantastical world filled with monsters, magic, and of course, mystery. One of the most hilarious mystery-solving scenarios occurs at a haunted resort. The Miis, disguised as adventurers and travelers, start to investigate strange occurrences around the resort. The “haunting” turns out to be an elaborate prank, but the way the Miis stumble over each other to figure it out is truly priceless. Some Miis try to scare away the “ghosts” by throwing pies, others argue over who gets to be the “chief investigator,” and the most clueless Mii ends up locking themselves in a closet, thinking they’ve found the hidden ghost.

3. The Case of the Disappearing Sandwich in Tomodachi Life

One of the more trivial but entertaining mysteries is when a sandwich goes missing in Tomodachi Life. A Mii is heartbroken after discovering that their prized sandwich, made with all their favorite ingredients, has vanished. The other Miis quickly get involved, with some suggesting a rival Mii could be the culprit, and others accusing the in-game pets. It’s a ridiculous case that results in everyone being accused at some point, from the neighbor’s pet bird to the local baker who allegedly has “sandwich-thieving tendencies.” Despite all the interrogations, the sandwich is never found, leaving the Mii in a state of eternal hunger and the players in stitches at how seriously everyone took the investigation.

4. The “Who Stole My Hat?” Investigation in Miitopia

Another unforgettable investigation occurs in Miitopia, where a Mii discovers that their favorite hat has mysteriously disappeared. In true Mii fashion, they jump to the most absurd conclusions. One Mii insists that a local monster has stolen it as part of an elaborate plot, while another suspects a fellow traveler who happens to be “jealous of their impeccable style.” The mystery deepens when one of the more dramatic Miis starts accusing the local plants of harboring secret hat-napping agents. The investigation spirals into a ridiculous chase through various towns, with each new suspect becoming more ridiculous than the last. Of course, the hat was eventually found under a pile of laundry, but the chaos in between made it a comedy of errors.

5. The Mii Detective Agency in Miitopia

In Miitopia, there’s a hilarious quest where Miis form a detective agency to solve all sorts of small-town mysteries. Each Mii takes on a role in this makeshift investigation squad, and while their enthusiasm is commendable, their methods are utterly nonsensical. One detective Mii uses a “magnifying glass” that looks suspiciously like a frying pan, while another insists on solving mysteries by making everyone play a round of charades. The funniest part is how they try to piece together “clues” that are laughably unrelated. One detective Mii declares that the missing object (a spoon) must be in the “mysterious cupboard,” despite there being no logical reason to think so. The case of the missing spoon turns out to be a wild goose chase, but the absurdity of their “detective work” is what makes it so funny.

6. The Missing Pizza Slice Mystery in Tomodachi Life

A slightly more serious, though still hilarious, mystery unfolds when a Mii’s favorite pizza slice goes missing. The case quickly escalates into an all-out investigation, where no Mii is left untested. Accusations fly like pizza toppings, with Miis blaming everyone from the local chef to the mysterious stranger who just moved in next door. One Mii even gets a bit too carried away with the “evidence,” bringing in a suspiciously large stack of “guilty” pizza boxes as if they were some form of legitimate proof. As they investigate, the Miis turn to increasingly absurd methods: one brings out a lie detector (which is, of course, a teddy bear) while another tries to catch the pizza thief by setting up a stakeout in a tree. In the end, the culprit is revealed (it was the Mii’s own pet dog), but not before the investigation has spiraled into chaos.

7. The Great “Who Stole the Mii’s Heart?” Drama in Tomodachi Life

Romantic misunderstandings in Tomodachi Life can sometimes turn into full-on mysteries. One of the most amusing cases happens when a Mii believes someone has stolen their “heart.” This leads to a dramatic investigation where Miis play the roles of detectives, complete with trench coats and exaggerated facial expressions. The suspects? A long list of other Miis in the neighborhood who might have “stolen” the heart, from an overly flirtatious Mii to an innocent bystander who was simply too close during a romantic gesture. The investigation gets ridiculous as Miis are interviewed, and each one provides wildly inappropriate evidence. It turns out that the missing heart was simply the result of a very poorly timed “Mii drama” event, but the detective squad doesn’t seem to mind. Their over-the-top commitment to solving this trivial problem adds to the hilarity.

8. The Lost Toy Mystery in Miitopia

In Miitopia, a childlike Mii reports their beloved stuffed animal has gone missing. The investigation kicks off immediately, with the Miis questioning every possible suspect, including a group of NPCs who have absolutely no reason to be involved. The plot thickens when the Miis start suggesting that the stuffed animal might be involved in some grand conspiracy with the monsters lurking in the world. While the detectives are actively seeking clues, one Mii keeps shouting, “It’s obviously in the closet!” but is continuously ignored because of their general lack of credibility. In the end, the stuffed animal is found under the bed, but the whole investigation has spiraled into a slapstick comedy as the Miis interact with each other in their exaggerated attempts to solve the case.

Conclusion

These hilarious Mii investigations show that while Miis might not be the sharpest tools in the shed when it comes to solving mysteries, they certainly know how to bring humor into the equation. Whether it’s a missing sandwich, a stolen hat, or an entirely unnecessary detective agency, the sheer randomness and absurdity of their methods always result in comical scenarios. The humor lies not just in the mystery itself, but in how seriously these quirky, simplified characters take their investigation efforts. These little moments bring a lightheartedness to the games, making them all the more memorable for fans of the Mii characters.
