When I initially saw a partial playthrough of the original 3DS release of Miitopia on YouTube, my expectations were low. You see, I’ve never been a big fan of Mii’s. For me, these simple, customizable characters were just not very appealing, and so I expected Miitopia to be a shallow and dull experience. I was quickly surprised by how charming and quirky the game ended up being, and I found myself toying with the idea of playing Miitopia for myself. I finally gave the game a try after the demo was released for the Switch, and it wasn’t long before a full copy of the game was added to my library. I had been writing about my experiences with the game over the last few months, and today, it’s finally time for a full review.
I’ve finally done it, dear readers! I have finally completed my grand adventure in Miitopia, at long last! The Darker Lord has been defeated, and I’ve thoroughly explored the generous post-game as thoroughly as I care to. I’ll be writing a full review eventually, but for now, this post shall offer a recap of the final two major chunks of Miitopia, leaving off after our victory over Dark Lord Mr. Bean. Spoilers to follow, but Miitopia doesn’t exactly have the most riveting story in the world anyway.
The final stretch of Miitopia is here, the cute and silly RPG where all of the roles are played by Mii characters, including the Dark Lord, who has been stealing everyone’s faces and putting them on monsters! All that remains now is the post-game, where we explore the tropical Galados Isle and the neon-adorned New Lumos and are faced with our toughest challenges yet!
Last, but not least, the Duck’s Access Key is: 5MKGH6B. The available characters that I’ve made at the moment are: Crispin Whytehead and Dr. Loboto from Psychonauts, Swaine from Ni no Kuni, Medli and Ghirahim from The Legend of Zelda series, Ly from Rayman 2, and the Hatbox Ghost from the Haunted Mansion!

As I make my way through Miitopia, the cute and silly RPG where you choose the faces of every character in the game, my next goal was to travel through the volcanic region of Karkaton, at the end of which we explored the castle of Dark Lord Mr. Bean! Along the way, my ever-expanding team and I rescued all of my past pals, starting with the third member of every team and ending with my very first ally, Psychonauts’ very own Crispin Whytehead. Oh, how I missed my tiny, ugly dude!

I recently recorded part 3 of my Miitopia playthrough, which saw the formation of my third and, presumably, final team. This time, I created all three of my new team members’ Mii’s, with their identities being as follows. Charlotte, the energetic cat, joined the team first. She is actually meant to resemble my character from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. After that came two characters from The Legend of Zelda series, Medli from Wind Waker and Ghirahim from Skyward Sword. Seeing as I was trying to utilize some of the new jobs, I ended up making Medli a kind flower and Ghirahim a stubborn imp. I had since changed to the princess job, and I must admit, it felt rather odd not being in charge of healing this time. (That role fell instead to Medli, and she didn’t always stay on top of things as much as I would have liked.)
The new land we explored was the Realm of the Fey, a forested location where we appear to be the size of a bug. Or perhaps everything was just really huge. During this time, we fought turkeys with disturbingly big butts, my characters developed a strange obsession with tomatoes, and we assisted the residents of the Elven Retreat, including the three Fab Fairy sisters. The faces I chose for them seemed quite obvious, as I picked the three goddesses from the Zelda series, Din, Farore, and Nayru.
We were actually joined by the Fab Fairies during this leg of the adventure (only one accompanied us at a time), and the additional help was quite nice, considering the game was getting just a tad more difficult. Even so, our adventure has still been rather easy thus far, and I typically refuse to use the copious amounts of sprinkles (for restoring HP and MP) that have since been bestowed upon me because it almost feels like cheating! I heard that the game becomes difficult at the end, and I rather look forward to some actual challenge eventually.
Charlotte and I watch some sheep float away…
While I’m still having a lot of fun with this game, I have to admit that I didn’t become quite as attached to my third team. Maybe it’s because I already used up my top character choices for my first two teams. Maybe I was put off by the fact that this team used some of the weirder jobs. Or maybe my team had simply been kidnapped one time too many, so the desire to bond with them just wasn’t as strong.
Whatever the case may be, I’ll admit that I spent much of the Realm of the Fey looking forward to completing it and getting my old team members back. I heard that, after your third team gets taken by the Dark Lord, you can finally rescue all of your previous allies and fight alongside whomever you want. And so, I’ve just gotten rather excited to see my old friends again, especially Crispin and Dr. Loboto (I became a big fan of Psychonauts recently). As for my third ally, there are apparently two secret jobs that you can unlock later in the game, so one of them can fill that final empty spot (in my team and in my heart).
Despite struggling to bond with my final team, and despite really not being a fan of most of the jobs remaining after team two was kidnapped (I still haven’t used tank, and I never plan to), Miitopia has still made for a surprisingly good time. I’ve just grown a bit tired of repeatedly starting over with new team mates and having to start from scratch with a new job of my own. Anyway, for the upcoming part 4, Karkaton, here I come!
Also, if you wish to use my new Mii’s, screenshots of them, along with my Access Key, are available below.

I’m still working my way through Miitopia, a charming RPG where you can choose the faces of every character in the game. Very soon, our Youtube playthrough shall be taking a break, which will be temporary or permanent depending on the views. I’ve already written a review about the demo, and now I’d like to write a little update concerning my experience with the next chunk of Miitopia. Spoilers ahead, though…is the story of Miitopia really that important?
I’ve never really been a big fan of Nintendo’s Mii’s. You know, those simple customizable characters that debuted many years ago on the Wii. I guess I was just never interested in making a character that resembled myself. Thanks to Miitopia, however, my opinion changed the moment I created my very first Mii that was based not on myself, but rather, on one of my new favorite characters, Crispin Whytehead from Psychonauts! Mii’s just became a lot more appealing once I started basing them on fictional characters rather than real people!
