Villager

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.

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. Brawl
A villager occasionally appears in the background of the Smashville stage.

According to Masahiro Sakurai, the Animal Crossing villager was at one point planned to be a playable fighter, but was removed as he wasn't considered to be suited for battle.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
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, four male (including the default appearance) and four female.

Villager's moves are mostly based around the Animal Crossing series, such as using a shovel to bury opponents as his down smash attack, firing a slingshot as his forward aerial attack, and using a net for his grab. Villager's neutral special attack is Pocket, which allows him to grab any items or projectiles and store them for future use. His side special is Lloid Rocket, which summons a Gyroid that flies forward into opponents and explodes. His down special is Timber, which causes him to plant a tree that he can cut down to have it fall on opponents. Finally, Villager's up special is Balloon Trip, in which he uses a pair of balloons to fly upward that can be popped, based upon the game Balloon Fight. The Villager's Final Smash is Dream Home (Housewarming Party in PAL versions), in which Tom Nook and Timmy and Tommy appear and build a house around opponents that explodes.

The villagers that appear on Smashville in Super Smash Bros. Brawl also return in this game along with the stage.

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

The male Villager shares his stats with Tanooki Mario, while the female Villager shares her stats with Cat Peach.

Super Mario Maker
In Super Mario Maker, players can unlock an 8-bit Villager costume either at random by completing the 100 Mario Challenge on Expert or Super Expert mode, in which there is no costume unlocking criteria, or by scanning a compatible Villager amiibo using the GamePad. The costume is exclusive to the Super Mario Bros. style and can be placed within Mystery Mushrooms. It can be donned by Mario once he acquires one of these mushrooms, thusly borrowing the character's appearance, movements, and specific sound effects. If button is pressed and held while the character is idle, he pulls out a small red balloon. If the character loses a life whilst wearing the Villager costume, the usual death jingle is replaced with the theme that plays after fainting in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The Villager costume is designed after his appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / 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.

Trivia

 * The Villager is currently the only character in the Mario Kart series who has no voice; instead, Villager uses many sound effects from Animal Crossing series.
