Character Customization in Nintendo Switch Sports

When you first start up the game, you will immediately be prompted to pick a sport before you even get a chance to create a character. However, the game will allow you to make your character once you select the first sport you want to play.

At first, the customization options will be fairly basic. You can change your skin tone, eye color and shape, hairstyle and hair color, eyebrow shape, and make-up/beard. Only some basic options for each category will be available when you start.

You will also be able to customize your character’s outfit. You can choose the clothing, hat, and other accessories to wear.

You can also choose to use a Mii instead of one of the Nintendo Switch Sports style characters. To do this, you must have a Mii created on your Nintendo Switch console, then select “Body” during customization and select “Mii.”

As you play sports online, you will unlock more customization items, such as additional clothes, hairstyles, accessories, and more.

If you want to change how your character looks after earning more customization items, simply select “Customize” in the bottom right corner of the screen on Spocco Square (after you’ve selected whether you want to play globally, locally, or with friends). This icon looks like a clothes hanger.

That’s everything you need to know about how to customize your character in Nintendo Switch Sports. Be sure to check back with Twinfinite for more tips, tricks, and guides.
