In a given ''Animal Crossing'' game, the player's avatar, a [[Villager|human boy or girl]], moves into a randomly-generated village in a forest that is populated by anthropomorphic animals that are all roughly their size (despite the large range of animal species the villagers encompass). In ''New Horizons'', the player and two other villagers are instead taken to a deserted island as part of the Deserted Island Getaway Package offered by [[Tom Nook]]. Once the avatar is settled into their living quarters, they may interact with and perform errands for the amiable residents on a day-to-day basis, amassing wealth (in the form of a type of currency called "bells") and a variety of decorative paraphernalia for their own house. Additionally in ''New Horizons'', the player can decorate their island by placing down furniture and using the {{s|Nookipedia|Island Designer Construction Permit}} to customize cliffs and rivers to their preferred setting. The series is generally is open-ended in that there are no objectives to complete and no way to "beat" the game per se, though one may pursue goals such as collecting all available types of bugs and fish in the game world. However, ''New Horizons'' does give a main objective of attracting [[K.K. Slider]] on the island, requiring the player to amass a 3-star rating by decorating and inviting villagers on to their island. The only "long term" goal in all the games for players to complete in order to access an unrestricted play experience is that they must amass enough wealth to regularly pay off their house's mortgage whenever the town shopkeeper and real-estate agent, Tom Nook the tanuki, upgrades the floor space of their house. Each game released tracks the real-world passage of time through the platform's internal calendar and affects the status of the player's village appropriately even when that village is not being played, and a player's avatar is able to visit the village of another player's copy of the game.

The ''Animal Crossing'' franchise was anonymously introduced to Western gamers through ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', a full year before ''Animal Crossing''’s international release, but not as an established universe. The only appearances of the franchise in the fighting game are as three collectible trophies, each depicting one of ''Animal Crossing''’s staple characters.

''Animal Crossing'' is recognized as its own universe by ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. There are no playable characters to hail from it.
