Villager (referred to as Animal Crossing Boy in his Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy description) is the default main character and player avatar in the Animal Crossing series. Animal Crossing Villagers have made some crossover cameo appearances in Mario games.
History
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
The villager's first appearance in the Mario franchise is in the Animal Crossing: Wild World microgame in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, in which the objective is for the player to catch a fish. The villager seen in this game, however, is not based on any specific villager artwork in the Animal Crossing franchise.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
A villager occasionally appears in the background of the Smashville stage.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Template:SSB Infobox Villager appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, taking his appearance from the cover art of Animal Crossing: City Folk. Unlike most characters, the Villager has seven alternate costumes based upon various villager designs, three male and four female.[1][2]
Villager's moves include using his net to ensnare enemies, planting a tree, growing it, then chopping it down to hit enemies, using a shovel to bury enemies, knocking enemies over with a flowerpot, dropping a bowling ball, and catching projectiles that he can then use once. He can also attack with an umbrella, a slingshot, fireworks, or by pulling weeds.
The Villager is also able to hover using balloons that are either those that carry gifts and need to be shot down using a slingshot, or those from Balloon Fight.[3] They can be popped one at a time.[4]
Villager's side special attack is known as the Lloid Rocket. This is a projectile attack, and the player can either launch it, or ride on it. In order to ride Lloid, the player must continue to press the attack button when the projectile is fired. The speed of the projectile can be controlled, and it inflicts more damage when Villager is riding it.[5]
Villager's final smash is Dream Home, an attack where Tom Nook and Timmy and Tommy from Animal Crossing games appear, build a house around a fighter, and have the house collapse.
The villagers that appear on Smashville in Super Smash Bros. Brawl also return in this game along with the stage.

The Villager will be appearing in Mario Kart 8 as a downloadable character, available for purchase as part of the Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8 DLC pack. He will be one of the two Animal Crossing characters that appear in the game, with the other being Isabelle. Like with Super Smash Bros., both a male and female villager variant will be available, both based upon the boy and girl villager artwork from Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Animal Crossing Boy | The male player character from Animal Crossing. He feels the need to set out on his own and move into town. Chatting with neighbors is a given, but there are a ton of other things to do as well, like collecting furniture, customizing rooms, catching fish and bugs, digging up fossils, etc. He may get bee stung or fall in a pit, but he still has fun. |
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Palutena's Guidance
- Viridi: Oh look, it's the Villager!
- Pit: Villager, huh? That's not a very creative name.
- Viridi: Well, what else do you call someone from a village? Anyway, you've got to respect the Villager. Word has it no one fights fairer than that one.
- Pit: Why's that?
- Viridi: Probably because where the Villager's from, there's a mole who goes around punishing cheaters.
- Pit: Resetti!
- Palutena: Anyway, the Villager's Lloid Rocket can do some real damage, so try your best to reflect it back.
