Nintendo’s Tomodachi Life is known for its bizarre humor, random events, and the sheer absurdity of its Mii interactions. One of the most ridiculous features in the game is when Miis claim to have special powers. These moments are often completely nonsensical, making them some of the funniest and most unexpected parts of the game. Here are some of the most ridiculous claims Miis have made about their so-called special abilities.
1. Predicting the Future—Badly
One of the most common supernatural claims Miis make is that they can predict the future. However, their predictions are usually wildly inaccurate or hilariously vague. A Mii might claim, “In the future, you will eat something,” or predict an event that has already happened. The best part is how seriously they deliver these statements, despite their total lack of insight.
2. The Power of Flight—But Only in Dreams
Some Miis confidently boast about their ability to fly, but there’s always a catch. When pressed for proof, they’ll often backtrack by saying they can only fly in their dreams or when no one is looking. This is peak Tomodachi Life logic, where Miis genuinely believe in their abilities but can never quite demonstrate them.
3. Telekinesis That Never Works
Many Miis claim to have telekinetic powers, insisting they can move objects with their minds. However, these “powers” tend to fail just when they try to show them off. They might concentrate intensely on a nearby item, only to get frustrated when nothing happens. Their deadpan delivery and refusal to admit they don’t have telekinesis make these moments even funnier.
4. The Ability to Control the Weather (Sort Of)
Some Miis believe they have control over the weather, but their methods are questionable at best. One might claim, “I can make it rain,” but only when it’s already raining outside. Others will say they can summon the sun but conveniently never demonstrate it when asked. The sheer confidence with which they make these statements is what makes them so entertaining.
5. Super Strength… But Only for Small Objects
A Mii might brag about having superhuman strength, only to specify that it only works on extremely light objects. They’ll proudly announce that they can lift a piece of paper or a small rock but struggle with anything heavier. Their over-the-top enthusiasm for their limited power makes it one of the best in-game delusions.
6. Invisibility That Works Only in the Dark
Some Miis claim they have the power of invisibility, but there’s always a loophole. They insist that they can turn invisible, but only when no one is watching—or when the lights are off. Essentially, they’re just standing in the dark, but they refuse to acknowledge the flaw in their logic.
7. Mind-Reading That Is Just Guesswork
A classic absurd claim is a Mii declaring they can read minds. In reality, they just make wild guesses that may or may not be correct. They’ll say things like, “You’re thinking about… food!”—which, in a game where Miis constantly talk about eating, is not exactly impressive. Their belief in their “psychic” abilities, despite having no proof, is what makes it so ridiculous.
8. Time Travel—But Only When They Oversleep
Some Miis insist they can travel through time. However, their version of time travel is just sleeping through an entire day and waking up confused. They’ll proudly claim they jumped forward in time, despite it being nothing more than a long nap. The fact that they don’t see the flaw in their logic makes this claim one of the most absurd.
9. Talking to Animals—But They Just Bark Back
A few Miis claim to have the ability to communicate with animals. In reality, all they do is mimic animal sounds and pretend they understand the responses. A Mii might say, “I just had a deep conversation with that dog,” when all they did was bark at it. Their commitment to the illusion is what makes this moment so hilariously ridiculous.
10. The Power to Control Dreams (Except Their Own)
Some Miis believe they can enter people’s dreams or control what others dream about. Of course, there’s never any proof of this, and their “dream predictions” are often completely random. When confronted, they might change the subject or insist that their powers only work when no one is paying attention.
11. The Mysterious “Floating Head” Trick
On rare occasions, Miis will claim to have mastered the art of separating their head from their body. This is usually just a weird illusion caused by them standing behind an object in a certain way. Despite the obvious trickery, they remain convinced that they possess supernatural abilities.
12. The Power to Summon Food… By Ordering It
One of the funniest claims is when a Mii insists they can make food appear out of thin air. In reality, this just means they ordered takeout or got a snack from the fridge. They’ll act as though they have magical summoning powers, completely ignoring the fact that they just asked for food and received it.
13. The Ability to Hypnotize People—But Only If They Let It Happen
Some Miis believe they can put others under hypnosis. However, this only works if the person being “hypnotized” plays along. If someone resists, the Mii will make excuses, saying the person is just “too strong-willed” for their powers to work. It’s an absurd but classic Tomodachi Life moment.
14. Shapeshifting… But Only Into Themselves
A truly ridiculous claim is when a Mii insists they can shapeshift—only for them to look exactly the same. They might say, “I just transformed into another version of me,” as if that counts as a real power. The fact that they’re so convinced of their ability, despite the lack of evidence, is what makes it so funny.
15. The Power to Control People’s Thoughts—Through Suggestion
A Mii might claim they can make people do whatever they want, but their “power” turns out to be nothing more than basic persuasion. If they convince someone to do something, they take full credit as if they used mind control. If it doesn’t work, they’ll just say the other person is “resisting” their powers.
Conclusion
The ridiculousness of Tomodachi Life comes from how seriously Miis take their own nonsense. Their confidence in their so-called special powers, despite all evidence to the contrary, is what makes these moments so entertaining. Whether they’re pretending to be time travelers, mind readers, or superheroes, the game never fails to deliver hilarious, absurd, and unforgettable interactions.
