StreetPass Mii Plaza


StreetPass Mii Plaza is an application which comes pre-loaded on all Nintendo 3DS systems. In the game, players can meet other players' Miis over StreetPass and online through Nintendo Network, and interact with them.

Summary

StreetPass Mii Plaza is an application that makes use of the Nintendo 3DS's StreetPass functionality, in which the system can detect and exchange data with other nearby systems whilst in sleep mode. The game revolves around a player's chosen Mii, which can be customised with accessories earned from minigames, along with a short customizable message and some optional information about likes. When new Miis are registered by the system, they will appear at the gate. Up to ten Miis can show up at the gate at any one time, after which the player will need to use them with their minigames before checking for more. Meeting the same Miis multiple times adds extra functionality, such as personalised messages and the ability to rate them. There are also special Miis that appear via SpotPass during special events, such as Nintendo staff members. After meeting another player's Mii, the player can then use that Mii to play a variety of different games, three of them being playable free of charge: Puzzle Swap, StreetPass Quest, and StreetPass Quest II.
After the December 2011 update, extra features were added to the game including a map in which players can see which countries they have met the most Miis from and a music player which features unlockable tracks of music from the game and an accomplishments section. Another update was added in June 2013, introducing four new purchasable games, as well as a new interface and framerate improvements. Following this update, players can earn Plaza Tickets from purchasable games which can be exchanged for hats and outfits to customise their Mii. A second update, which adds two more purchasable games and additional features, was released in April 2015. A third update, which adds five more purchasable games and increases the capacity of StreetPass hits per session to 100, surfaced in September 2016.

Preloaded games

''Puzzle Swap''

Puzzle Swap is a game in which players aim to complete a 3D animated picture of a Nintendo video game by gathering its pieces. If a player encountered on StreetPass possesses any pieces the player does not have, the player can choose one of their pieces to add to their own. The player may also use Play Coins to buy random pieces for their existing panels, although it won't always be a new piece. After the December 2011 update, new puzzles became available which included four or eight pink squares in the center. Pink pieces are distributed to players via SpotPass and can only be gathered via StreetPass; they cannot be bought using Play Coins. Some puzzles have more pieces than others, making them harder to complete.

''StreetPass Quest'' / ''Find Mii''

StreetPass Quest, known in North America as Find Mii, is a role-playing game. In this game, the player's Mii has been captured and it is up to the player to save him/her by battling their way through a series of rooms containing different enemies. Players use the Miis they have encountered, but can also use Play Coins to summon additional wanderers. Each Mii has a standard attack and a magic spell based on their color. For example, red Miis can cast flame spells whilst light blue Miis can freeze their opponents. Certain colored Miis are required to clear certain rooms, such as using a yellow Mii to break an enemy's yellow shield. If a Mii is encountered on StreetPass several times, their level in StreetPass Quest will increase, making them stronger, but only up to level 7. As the player progresses through the game, they can earn hats for their Mii to wear.
StreetPass Quest II / Find Mii II became available in December 2011 for players who had played through the first game at least twice. The sequel includes tougher enemies, multiple paths, and new hats. In addition to wanderers, players can now use Play Coins to hire up to three previously encountered Miis. In battle, similarly colored Miis can form teams to perform stronger combo attacks and spells. Play Coins can also be spent to use potions for various uses, such as clearing a room of gas. There is also a third secret quest that adds more difficulty to the StreetPass Quest II / Find Mii II maps that provides an additional set of hats that the player can win.
A stage based on Find Mii appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Two themes called Dark World and Save the World, Heroes!, which are music from Find Mii, appear as playable music that play on the Find Mii stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and on the Miiverse stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Both the stage and music return in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

When entering a new room, the player may encounter an enemy, which they must face against using their equipped weapon, which uses rechargeable batteries to function.
