CPU

Marit, an example of a CPU.

A CPU (Computer) stands for Central Processing Unit. This Mii isn't controlled by the player. They can play against the user in two-player sports and can also be found in the crowds.

Wii Sports

In Wii Sports, 60 pre-made CPU Miis can be your opponents: 30 males and 30 females. They appear as opponents in Tennis, Baseball, and Boxing. In this last sport, not all female Miis appear. In Bowling, they can appear if you don't have enough Miis in your Mii Plaza or Mii Parade, playing in the other lanes.

Wii Sports Resort

In Wii Sports Resort, in addition to the 60 CPU from Wii Sports, there are 40 new CPU Miis, 20 males and 20 females, making a total of 100 CPU Miis that can be your opponents (this creates an equal amount of male and female Miis, 50 of each).

You play against them in Swordplay, Table Tennis - Match, Basketball - Pickup Game, and Cycling. Again, they appear in Bowling, alongside your Miis, regardless of whether you have enough Miis in your Mii Plaza or Mii Parade. They can also appear as spectators in various sports, such as Table Tennis and Basketball.

Some Miis that aren't CPUs include those made by the player and preview Miis, which are used in demonstration of most of the 12 games. An example of this is Jen in the photos of the Wakeboarding tutorial.

Wii Sports Club

In Wii Sports Club, 111 new CPU Miis replace the CPU Miis from Wii Sports Resort, sporting some new facial features exclusive to the Wii U's Mii Maker's updated feature set.

Some of these Miis only appear as spectators in Tennis, as teammates in Baseball, as coaches in Boxing and don't compete in any other sport.

Trivia

• CPUs from the Wii appear to have been saved in the system's internal memory, but are hidden from the user's system.
• Unlike the current Wii U CPUs, the CPU Miis from the Wii no longer appear in any other games (other than Nintendogs + Cats, SSBWiiU, and SSBU, only as background characters in those games) outside of the Wii series.
  • For their apperances in SSBWiiU and SSBU, the Wii CPU miis no longer function as the cpu miis formerly used to do. They can no longer be interchanged with the Miis saved to the user's the system like they used to be able to, as they are now premade assets made for the stages they appear on.
• In Baseball, CPU Miis will play on a human player's team if they don't have enough Miis in their Mii Plaza or Mii Parade, but the human player will still control them rather than the computer like they usually are. The player can also use them if the player plays as a Guest.
• CPUs are also promotional Miis, appearing in other games, artwork, and promotional images. They are likely assets from a central resource within Nintendo and not explicitly created for Wii Sports.
  • The 3DS version of Miitopia will auto-assign the townspeople's roles with the Wii Sports Club Miis if Spotpass is turned off.
  • Miis from Wii Sports Club are seen in some promos and advertisements for games where Miis can be used, such as Mario Kart 8 or Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
• If the player doesn't have enough Miis in their Mii Plaza, the CPU Miis will become spectators in many games in Wii Play: Motion. They will be able to help them in Spooky Search and Veggie Guardin'.
• In Basic Run of Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus, the 60 Wii Sports CPUs will appear as the guide of the player.
  • They come back in Wii Fit U even if in the credits of the game, Wii Sports Club/Wii Party U CPUs appear.
• The Miis' internal ID sorting organizes the Difficulty Ranking in Wii Party. Starting from Saburo (000) up to Marisa (099), the pattern follows Beginner, Standard, Advanced, Expert, Master, and after reaching Master, it loops back to Beginner. It repeats 20 times until all 100 Miis are ordered in that way.
• None of Wii Sports Club Miis have a mole, freckles, or a square head.
  • Pedro is the only Wii Sports Club Mii to have a frown, and Barry is the only Wii Sports Club Mii to wear shades.
• Age groups, including Child, Young, Middle, and Old, are only used for the Wii U CPUs, and they can be found in the Miitopia data files. No game that Wii CPUs appear in shows their age group.
• Wii CPUs don't appear in Mario Kart Wii as ghosts. However Wii U CPUs appear in Mario Kart 8 as ghosts. Interestingly enough, Wii U CPUs will also be faced off against in the mobile game Mario Kart Tour as racing opponents in offline mode if the game doesn't have enough bots with online player's data to be faced off against.
