Wii Sports uses the Miis you create in the Mii Channel to play the game. Wii Sports automatically saves the records (such as your personal best in each game) of each player.

Please be aware that your records will not be saved when you play with a guest Mii or one stored in the Wii Remote. In addition, if you delete a Mii from the Mii Channel, the saved data for that Mii is also erased. Be very careful when deleting a Mii once a play record is erased, you cannot recover it.

your Pro title, as well as when you set high scores.
