How to Make Avatars for Wii

Turn on the Nintendo Wii.

Choose the Mii Channel from the Wii main menu. The Mii Channel is the application you use to create Miis.

If you've never created a Mii before, click "Start" and choose your new Mii's gender. For subsequent new Miis, you will click the "New Mii" icon. This icon is a smiling face inside a circle, with a plus sign at its upper right side.

Click either "Start from Scratch" or "Choose a Look-Alike" to begin customizing your Mii. The Mii channel allows you to choose from a variety of pre-created Miis to customize, or to start from the ground up.

Choose the third icon in the row at the top of the screen. This opens the tools to edit your Mii's face shape, hair color and skin tone. Next to your Mii are a series of buttons to change each of these options.

Choose the fourth icon to open the hair editing tools. Choose the fifth option to open the eyebrow selection tools. The sixth, seventh and eighth icons along the top open tools for editing the nose, the mouth, and accessories such as glasses.

Choose the second icon to open the body proportion tools. The slider along the top changes the height of your Mii. The slider along the bottom changes your Mii's weight.

Choose the first icon to name your Mii. On this screen you will use a virtual keyboard to enter additional information for your Mii, including its birthday, favorite color and creator.

Click the "Quit" button to exit your session and then the "Save and Quit" button to save your new Mii. It will appear in the Mii Plaza, where you can edit it and view it in a variety of ways.
