History VideoGame / StreetPassMiiPlaza

** The Dancing Zombie is in the graveyard? Sounds [[Music/MichaelJackson Thrill]][[JustForPun ing]]!

* TheCatfish: The Legendary Monsters and the Mystery Species.

''Find Mii'' was featured as a stage in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosFor3DSAndWiiU'', which later returned in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''.

* StockMarketGame: The entire game mode functions as one of these. The player buys or sells stocks as they randomly rise or fall. By utilizing the StreetPass functionality, one can obtain Miis to help in predicting whether the value will rise or fall.

* ''Mii Trek'' / ''[=StreetPass Explorers=]'' (developed by Arzest): an exploration game where the pedometer steps of [=StreetPasses=] determine how far you can explore.

** The Pencil granted by the Studying hobby is, for all intents and purposes, a [[BladeOnAStick polearm]]. Its attacks consist of rapid jabs and twirls, finished off with a checkmark attack.

* BareYourMidriff: It's not too noticeable, but Coraline only has on a chest band under her jacket, exposing her stomach.

** Yellow Miis [[DishingOutDirt create sandstorms]], which absorbs poisonous clouds when used by a team.

** Especially apparent in ''Mii Force'', ''Warrior's Way'', and ''Battleground Z''; as all of those only let you attempt ''one'' level each for every batch of [=StreetPasses=] you collect (you get three attempts at the level in ''Mii Force'' and ''Battleground Z'', but you're still limited to just the one level). The same applies to ''Ultimate Angler'', as you only get to go to one fishing spot per session and lose all your unused bait if you leave.

* WrongGenreSavvy: Any player who has been using potions or magic to defeat the enemy will be in shock when they find out that [[spoiler:Ultimate Ghost reborn]] can debuff the player's buff magic, and [[spoiler:Dark Lord/Emperor]] is immune to sleep, freezing or poisoning.

** '''Yellow''': [[LightningCanDoAnything Lightning Launcher]]

* ContinuingIsPainful: In Arcade Mode, continue pain varies between Normal and Hard difficulty. In normal, you can restart the stage if you have any pods left over that haven't been destroyed, but your score is reset. In hard mode, you start ''[[OneHitPointWonder all over]]'' (with a different squad member from your current batch, rather than having to get more StreetPasses for a new set like you would if you just quit).

* DeterminedWidow: Male version. After completing Dr. Heynen's job In Loving Memory with a perfect rating, Ms. Blossom reveals that [[spoiler: his wife died young due to an illness she had. Since then, he dedicated his life to becoming a doctor and making sure that people live long lives so they don't suffer the same fate she did.]]

* HotScientist: Dr. Scarlet is given noticeably prettier features than the standard Mii, bordering on a NonStandardCharacterDesign.

* AdvancingWallOfDoom: At the Hydroelectric Dam, an invincible wall of zombies will slowly advance on you from the bottom of the screen. Making contact with them will instantly destroy any weapon you currently wield and any keys as well.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Mostly averted, as the weapons you receive are based on a Mii's ''hobby'', not their shirt color. However, each weapon does take the color of its Mii, and the game tracks which colors you've gotten for each weapon, so if you're going for OneHundredPercentCompletion it becomes important.

* EyesDoNotBelongThere: [[spoiler: Super Psymad]] has eyes on his arms.

* GlassCannon: [[spoiler: Dr.Psymad can kill you in a single hit while invincible, but goes down in a single hit when his [[InvincibilityPowerUp M Potion]] wears out]].

* OneHitPointWonder: [[spoiler: Dr. Psymad during the first phase of the battle with him]].

* SocializationBonus: Played straight to a certain point. [=StreetPassed=] Miis don't appear to be any different than hired Miis, and other ''Battleground Z'' players will give the option to team up as a NonPlayerCompanion instead of giving you their weapon. Their level scores will also appear on your high score lists. However, if you hire a lot of Miis, you may notice that the odds are higher that their weapons are "Found", which means that the weapon has only a third of the HP than a normal weapon of the same type.
* StationaryBoss: [[spoiler: Super Psymad]] will always stay in one place.

*

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: [[spoiler: Dr. Psymad uses an [[InvincibilityPowerUp M Potion]] against you during the first part of the battle with him.]]

** [[spoiler: Super Psymad]] has [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 eyes on his arms]].

* IllGirl: Anne, the woman who sends in job requests to cheer up her favorite soccer player. She doesn't mention it at all in her own requests, but a couple others refer to a sick woman in their requests and completing those quests unlock more in Anne's quest chain, indicating she's the one they're talking about. Later requests from her sister Beth and Ted the soccer player in question reveal that [[spoiler:she makes a full recovery and marries Ted.]]

* IllGirl: The backstory involves [[spoiler:a researcher's sickly daughter who passed away, causing the researcher to make a DealWithTheDevil to bring her BackFromTheDead]]. It's all but stated by the ending that the daughter is [[spoiler:Iris]].

* ImprobableWeaponUser: This game takes this trope and cranks it UpToEleven. The most mundane weapons start from things like a FryingPanOfDoom and a {{BFS}} [[{{UsefulNotes/Wii}} Wii Remote]]. Then there's painted-on holes in the ground, a superhero costume, an army of stampeding sheep, TheInternet, dance battles, and cram school, all of which can be used to kill zombies.

* NiceHat: As a reward for beating levels in the "Find Mii" games and through redeeming Plaza Tickets at the Ticket Booth, you can get several dozen hats. They range from Nintendo-themed, such as [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros Mario's hat]] or [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda Link's cap]], to food, such as cheeseburgers or fried chicken, to hats based on the Mii Plaza games, such as the Ultimate Helmet, Mii Force Helmet, or Zombie Hat.

* NiceHat:
** The male Fashion item includes a top hat.
** Averted with the Mii Plaza hats. Unlike most of the other games, none of the Miis wear their hats or costumes in this game.

* {{Meganekko}}: Dr. Scarlet.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Iris's hair color is bright pink.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The apprentice chef, Geoff, has teal hair.

** Nintendo's slowly been making it easier to rack up [=StreetPasses=], however, such as getting the last 6 people to visit a Nintendo Zone in your plaza when you visit said Nintendo Zone. There are ways to turn most wireless routers into a Nintendo Zone of your own (nicknamed [[FanNickName HomePass]]) that can mimic any other already-existing Nintendo Zone (presumably one in a heavily-populated location or a collective one used only in this manner) and thus essentially get an infinite amount of hits, but you might consider this to be cheating and it requires non-trivial amount of effort to accomplish that has a risk of ruining your router. However, simply setting a router's SSID to "attwifi" during a "National [=StreetPass=] Weekend" event will net faraway [=StreetPasses=] without the need for modification.

The program also contains several game modes, and is occasionally updated to add more. One of the original games is ''Puzzle Swap'', in which your goal is to collect pieces of pictures from 3DS owners you pass by. The other is ''Find Mii'' (''[=StreetPass=] Quest'' in Europe), a light RPG where your personal Mii has been captured and others' Miis must be recruited through [=StreetPass=] to rescue them. A later update to the Mii Plaza that added new functions also featured additional ''Puzzle Swap'' puzzles (and the ability to add more puzzles without a full update) and a new kind of puzzle piece that can only be received through [=StreetPassing=], along with a ''Find Mii'' sequel.

* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: In Europe and Australia, all of the games except for ''Puzzle Swap'' are titled ''"[=StreetPass=] [X]"''.

* ShoutOut: The Evening Puff (called the Evening Tuft in Europe), a plant that can only be grown with blue blossoms, is described as looking as "prickly as a [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog hedgehog]]".

* StandardStatusEffects: Light Green Miis and Light Blue Miis put enemies to sleep or freeze them respectively. [[spoiler:The Dark Lord/Emperor]] is immune to these.

* ''Mii Force'' / ''[=StreetPass Squad=]'': a space shooting game in which collected Miis improve your ship's durability and firepower.
* ''Flower Town'' / ''[=StreetPass Garden=]'': a gardening game in which [=StreetPass=] hits help your plants grow.
* ''Warrior's Way'' / ''[=StreetPass Battle=]'': a war game in which your army grows based on the plaza populations of people you [=StreetPass=].
* ''Monster Manor'' / ''[=StreetPass Mansion=]'': a dungeon-exploration game which lets you build the map as you collect [=StreetPasses=].

* ''Ultimate Angler'' / ''[=StreetPass Fishing=]'': a fishing game where [=StreetPasses=] provide bait.
* ''Battleground Z'' / ''[=StreetPass Zombies=]'': an action game where weapons come from [=StreetPassed=] people.

* ''Slot Car Rivals'' / ''[=StreetPass Slot Racer=]'': a slot racing game which you race your slot car against other slot cars from [=StreetPassed=] people.
* ''Market Crashers'' / ''[=StreetPass Trader=]'': a stock-trading game where Miis will give you advice on when to buy or sell.
* ''Feed Mii'' / ''[=StreetPass Chef=]'': set in the world of ''Find Mii'', you collect ingredients from Passed Miis and use them to cook food they request.
* ''Ninja Launcher'' / ''[=StreetPass Ninja=]'': an launcher game of sorts where you fight demons by being shot out of a cannon; [=StreetPasses=] provide equipment that you have to set up so you can grab them mid-flight.
* ''Mii Trek'' / ''[=StreetPass Explorers=]'': an exploration game where the pedometer steps of [=StreetPasses=] determine how far you can explore.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: [[spoiler: One of the Legendary Monsters you can catch is a Japanese Dragon. It can only be caught after completing the first five islands.]]
