Mii Involvement
Discover how Mii characters appear in Nintendo Switch Sports games, from Tennis crowds to Baseball teams and Bowling lanes.
You must select a Mii to play as for each game. However, Miis that are not actively playing also appear in different games in some way. Here is their involvement in each game:
Tennis - The Parade Mii's (pre-made Miis often found in Nintendo systems) form part of the crowd.
Baseball - Your created Mii's help make up each team. The rest of the team is filled up with computer-generated Mii characters.
Bowling - If only a couple of you are playing, then the rest of your lane will have user-created Miis sitting behind you. Parade Mii's play on other lanes.
Golf - None. Miis do not appear in Golf.
Boxing - Parade Mii's make up some of the crowd.
Pro Status
Learn how to achieve Pro Status in Nintendo Switch Sports by earning points. Discover how points are calculated and which games don't award them in multiplayer.
You earn points in Nintendo Switch Sports to display your playing progress after each session, shown in a graph. The number of points you receive depends on your performance and how well you played against other opponents. For instance, playing poorly against a much higher-ranked opponent will earn you a decent amount of points, while playing poorly against lower-ranked opponents will cause you to lose points.
Once you reach over 1000 points, you will gain Pro Status, which functions more as a title than a special feature.
Note: You cannot earn points in Tennis, Baseball, or Boxing in multiplayer mode.
- Focus on performing well against opponents of all skill levels to maximize point gains.
- Be aware that losing to lower-ranked opponents can decrease your point total.
- Remember that Pro Status is primarily a cosmetic title.
