The Mii Channel lets you put yourself in the game by creating customizable characters that fit your personality. You can then use those characters in compatible games, attach them to messages in the Message Board, and even save them to your Wii Remote to take to a friend's house. Please note that only one Wii Remote can be used while in the Mii Channel.

Miis are intended to be an extension of the player, and in keeping with this spirit, the user can use them in several Nintendo titles for the Wii. Wii Sports is perhaps the most well-known example of this, and it adds a further personal touch to Miis by saving game statistics and records for them. Even if the user created Miis had never participated in any game as players, the Miis will make cameo appearances as computer controlled opponents, teammates or audience.
When users communicate with other Wii owners across the world using the Wii Message Board, they can attach a Mii to the sent message as a form signature so that the recipients can quickly identify the sender by the Mii on the envelope of the message. A Mii can only be attached to messages sent to another Wii console, the feature is disabled when sending to regular email accounts on computers or cell phones.
