A friend is a relationship state in Tomodachi Collection, Tomodachi Life, and Miitopia.
When Miis become friends, they either talk to each other in their apartments, share their level-up gifts, or hang out at various locations. If a Mii develops feelings for another Mii of the opposite gender, as long as their relationship is roughly "Great pal" or higher, they could confess and begin to date. If they fight and it fails to be resolved, this could cause them to stop being friends. After the player helps a Mii befriend another, they will gain happiness.
Becoming Friends[]
Two Miis becoming friends in Tomodachi Life.
Occasionally, a Mii will have a problem icon, with it being black in Collection and orange in Life. Upon entering the Mii's apartment, they want to become friends with another Mii and ask what they should do to get along with each other. The player is given four options. Upon choosing, the Mii will go to the target (or vice-versa in Collection).
The two will talk for a few seconds, and if it goes well (meaning the player chose the right options), they will wave as stars appear around them. The Mii will be happy afterwards, with the caption "It went great!" This is followed by the Mii saying "It worked! We're friends now, thanks to you!" (NTSC) or "We're friends now, thanks to you!" (PAL). However, if they don't befriend each other, the stars will not appear, to which the Mii will say "We're not quite friends yet..." afterward.
A rare occurrence in the game is that Miis can befriend each other off-screen. The two Miis can be seen talking to each other outside either apartment.
Asked to Be Friends[]
In Life, there is a chance that instead a Mii will have a problem where they heard someone wants to be friends. That Mii will ask the player whether they should go and upon agreeing, then a short cutscene similar to before will play. However, the Mii will answer at door for the asking Mii who is invited in.
If the two become friends, they wave as the stars appear as a jingle plays. The Mii will be happy afterwards, saying "We're friends now!" If they do not become friends, the asking Mii will say "We didn't really click, so we didn't become friends this time." (NTSC) or "We're not quite friends yet..." (PAL) The Mii who answers the door will do certain things according to their personality.
Introducing Two Friends[]
In Life, a Mii may introduce two of their friends to each other. If the player agrees, they will ask what to talk about to help the Miis get along. Upon choosing one of the four options, a cutscene will play where the first Mii will invite over their friends to their apartment.
The first Mii will introduce the two to each other before they begin talking. The conversation will last a little longer than the cutscene between two Miis. During the conversation, the Miis will laugh, with either one laughing or everyone looking surprised before bursting into laughter. The opposite Mii will be confused, or the introducing Mii helps them out. The two Miis might rarely talk at the same time. If all goes well, the two Miis will become wave each other as the asking Mii says that they became friends.
Best Friends[]
If two friends maintain good relationships for a long period of time, there will be a possibility of them to become best friends. Best friends get along better than normal friends and never fight.
Once the game is played long enough, the Mii will get a best friend. This state is achieved by two Miis having a good conversation (shown by happy faces and/or laughing). When this occurs, the same animation that plays when two Miis become friends will play, but accompanied with text "[Mii 1] and [Mii 2] became best friends." Miis can even become best friends off-screen and the player may see in their status that they are best friends.
If two best friends have an argument that lasts for a while, a sting will play with the Miis having worried faces and a message saying "[Mii 1] and [Mii 2] became friends." will pop up. This event will only happen if both of the best friends have "Kinda getting along" status or lower. However, they can still be seen hanging out together afterwards. The two Miis that used to be best friends can become best friends again.
This relationship should not be confused with the 100% friendship status on Compatibility Tester.
Trivia[]
- The best friend of a Mii sometimes can be used to stop a huge fight when it occurs. Otherwise, it will be a random regular friend of both fighters.
- It is possible for two Miis to become best friends or lost their best friend status off-screen. Miis can no longer be best friends in the same way.
- It is possible that a Mii can dump their best friend by becoming best friends with another Mii. However, this will not cause any sadness.
- There is a rare moment in Introducing Two Friends: the Miis laugh as if it goes well, but at the end, they do not wave hands as they failed, vice-versa. The same thing happens for the normal friend problem.
