What determines Mii pants-color on Wii U?

On Wii, there were several different ways you could change the color of a Mii’s pants. Favoriting a Mii gave it red pants, sending it to another Wii gave it blue, and not doing anything at all gave them grey pants. Slightly confusing, but mostly pretty straightforward! Here’s how the pants color system works on Wii U:

Red Pants

– Your user Mii wears red pants/gold crown icon
– Other users’ Miis wear red pants/bronze crown icon
– Regular favorited Miis wear red pants/red crown icon

Gray Pants

– All Mii characters initially wear red pants

Blue Pants

– Like on Wii, if you receive a Mii from another system it wears blue pants

Yellow Pants

– Special Miis (distributed by Nintendo) wear yellow pants

Sure is a “Nintendo-y” way of doing pants colors!
