The Weirdest Things Miis Have Ever Done in Public

Mii characters, the customizable avatars created by Nintendo, are beloved for their quirky designs and playful personalities. Originating in the Wii era, they’ve evolved throughout various Nintendo consoles, gaining an extensive fan following. While Miis are often used for in-game characters in games like Wii Sports and Miitopia, their appearance in public settings is where things get interesting. The bizarre, funny, and occasionally unsettling things Miis have done in public can be attributed to their unique blend of unpredictability and human-like traits. Below are some of the weirdest things Miis have done in public, showcasing how they can entertain and, at times, bewilder us.

1. Uninvited Mii Takeovers in Parks

In various public settings, particularly on the Wii U and Nintendo Switch, players can use the Mii Plaza feature to see and interact with Miis created by others. Sometimes, while in parks or public squares, people have been caught off guard when an enormous number of Miis begin to appear around them. Without notice, their console might start to connect with nearby Miis, creating a small digital crowd of characters standing around, waving, and acting in ways that can feel oddly invasive. The randomness of their actions, from spontaneous dances to posing for selfies, can make passersby feel as if they’ve stepped into an alternate universe where everyone is a tiny avatar with a mind of their own.

2. Mii’s Unexpected Public Performances

Imagine walking through a public space and suddenly being surrounded by Miis, each performing a bizarre choreographed dance or singing a strange song. It’s one of the oddest sights ever when, in a game like Miitopia, the Miis come to life in a public setting. They might start acting out peculiar, exaggerated movements or even performing comical skits. Their over-the-top facial expressions and exaggerated body language can leave onlookers in a state of confusion and wonder, unsure if they’re witnessing a glitch or an elaborate performance.

3. Mii Fashion Fiascos

One of the fun aspects of Miis is their ability to be dressed in anything the player chooses, from casual attire to outrageous costumes. Sometimes, players take this too far, and Miis end up in public dressed in the most absurd outfits. It’s not uncommon for Miis to show up in public sporting bizarre costumes like animal suits, superhero outfits, or even strange hybrid mashups. These eye-catching ensembles can often become a source of public amusement (or discomfort), as their strange clothing choices clash with the environment they are placed in. Imagine a Mii in a full-body gorilla costume walking through a shopping mall — it’s guaranteed to turn heads.

4. The Mii that Thought It Was in a Horror Movie

Perhaps one of the most unnerving things Miis have ever done in public is when they take on eerie, unsettling behaviors. Sometimes, players’ Miis take on strange, almost haunted actions when they’re left to their own devices. For instance, a Mii might stare blankly at passersby or walk in a straight line, unnaturally still, much like a character from a horror film. With their lifeless eyes and stiff movements, these Miis can appear unnervingly ghost-like, causing others to feel like they’re witnessing something more sinister than just a playful avatar. In some instances, Miis seem to follow the player, mimicking their actions in a strange, robotic manner, which can be particularly creepy in a public space.

5. Uncontrollable Mii Love Affairs

In Miitopia, players can set up relationships between Miis, often leading to absurd pairings and unpredictable romantic interactions. However, things get particularly weird when these digital relationships spill into public spaces. At times, Miis might randomly develop crushes on other characters, regardless of their relationships with the player. This can lead to awkward, uninvited love confessions in public settings where one Mii suddenly proposes to another in a dramatic, exaggerated manner. The entire scene is often filled with melodramatic gestures, such as hearts floating around and overly expressive declarations of love. Witnessing this kind of bizarre public outburst, especially in a crowded place, can leave onlookers more than a little confused.

6. Miis Creating Unlikely Social Circles

When Miis meet in public, they sometimes form the strangest social circles. Players’ Miis might randomly approach other Miis in a park or mall and start conversations that don’t make much sense to anyone but them. These conversations often involve strange topics like the weather, food preferences, or nonsensical small talk. A group of Miis may start discussing their latest “adventure” in a game, their favorite sports, or even things that don’t quite add up, like how many times they’ve been “reset” by a player. Observing such a gathering, with Miis expressing these unusual, robotic thoughts, creates a scene that is both awkward and oddly charming.

7. The Glitchy Mii Parade

One of the quirkiest things Miis are known to do in public is glitch out in the most ridiculous ways. In certain circumstances, the Miis will start to “break” — their movements become erratic, their faces contort into weird shapes, and their body parts might even become disconnected from their bodies. In this glitchy state, the Mii becomes a spectacle. People around them are often left wondering if the Mii is malfunctioning or if something supernatural is taking place. This is especially odd when it happens in a public gathering where Miis from different games or players converge and start glitching in unison, creating an unintentional and surreal display that’s hard to forget.

8. Mii Fashion Shows

Occasionally, Miis are dressed in highly eccentric outfits and positioned in public areas, like an impromptu fashion show. Players often create wild outfits and then let their Miis model them in public places. This bizarre display of fashion might feature combinations like medieval knights wearing bunny ears, business suits paired with swim trunks, or even party hats on top of formal tuxedos. This playful chaos gives onlookers an odd form of entertainment but can be jarring for those who aren’t familiar with the Mii universe.

9. Mii Mischief

Sometimes Miis, with their curious personalities, get up to some unexpected mischief. Players’ Miis may sneak into stores, restaurants, or public areas and begin causing little disruptions. This might involve acting like they’re taking the food off of other people’s plates in a restaurant or randomly disrupting a public event, such as a concert or a sports game. Their awkward and clumsy behavior, coupled with their occasional moments of wild unpredictability, can give them the vibe of mischievous characters in a larger-than-life story.

10. Mii Paranoia and Conspiracy Theories

Some Miis have been known to engage in odd, paranoid behaviors in public, as if they believe something is watching or controlling them. This has happened in both Miitopia and Tomodachi Life, where Miis start acting in ways that suggest they are questioning the world around them. They might give side glances, whisper to each other in hushed tones, or even start gesturing wildly as though something is going on in the background that the player cannot see. These bizarre actions often seem to hint at the Mii’s belief that they are part of some larger, unseen drama.

Conclusion

The bizarre things Miis do in public settings might be rooted in the games they come from, but they also have a charm and sense of spontaneity that players find both hilarious and, at times, unnerving. Whether it’s through impromptu performances, strange outfits, or glitchy behaviors, Miis continue to entertain us with their unpredictability and surreal interactions. They’ve evolved far beyond their initial function as simple avatars — and in the process, have become a fascinating part of Nintendo’s broader universe of quirky digital characters.
