Nintendo Switch Sports - Mii Characters
You will be able to use a Mii as a Sportsmate in Nintendo Switch Sports. You should be able to use them as long as you have them in your list of Miis in Nintendo Switch system.

Miis was first introduced in Wii Sports, allowing players to use their creativeness and wittiness in creating a playable character. It might also be possible to put clothes and outfits to them in the game!

Difference Between Miis and Default Sportsmates

Nintendo Switch Sports - Difference Between Miis and Default Sportsmates
The most obvious but only difference between Miis and Sportsmates is their appearance. Sportsmates have a smoother texture and mesh than the Miis, which adapts to modern graphics.

Even though Sportsmates have better graphics on this game, a good chunk of players still prefer to use their Miis, as they have been there since Wii Sports started, especially for the veterans. Note that selecting between them will only change the look of your avatar and will not affect the gameplay.

How to Create a Mii

Through Nintendo Switch System Settings
