The '''''Animal Crossing'' universe''' ({{ja|どうぶつの森|Dōbutsu no Mori}}, ''Animal Forest'') refers to the ''Smash Bros.'' series' collection of characters, stages, and properties that hail from the popular ''Animal Crossing'' series of colorful life-simulation games for recent Nintendo systems. The series received limited representation in the ''Smash Bros.'' games up until the inclusion of the [[Villager|main human villager]] as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', after which the series' representation grew exponentially. [[Isabelle]], one of the most prominent series characters since her debut in ''New Leaf'' and an Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', appears as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

The first entry in the series titled ''Animal Forest'' (どうぶつの森, ''{{s|nookipedia|Dōbutsu no Mori}}''), released in April 2001 as a Japan-exclusive life-simulation title for the [[Nintendo 64]]. The game was made internally at Nintendo by many of the same staff that worked on ''{{s|supermariowiki|Yoshi's Story}}''. The team originally planned for the game to be released on the {{s|nintendowiki|Nintendo 64DD}} to take advantage of its writable floppy disks and real-time clock. However, after the many delays and eventual abandonment of the 64DD, the game was transferred to a standard cartridge with a real-time clock built into the Game Pak, the first and only game on the system to do so, as well as utilizing the Controller Pak to save data. The game received an enhanced remake for the Nintendo [[GameCube]] eight months later titled ''{{s|nookipedia|Dōbutsu no Mori+}}''. This version is basically a direct port of the original version with updated textures and utilizing memory cards and the system's internal clock. This made the game files so small in size that it is one of the few games that can fit entirely on the system memory, meaning it can still play even if the disc is removed. Nintendo of America decided to localize this version of the game for release in the United States, and during the immense translation process many more new features like whole dialogue options and new holiday items were added, resulting in the final product, ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing}}'', released on September 2002. The game, which had more-or-less already been "promoted to" western audiences via cameo appearances from some of its characters in 2001's ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', was a breakout hit and received high marks for its quirky and charming approach to the social simulation genre, and Nintendo of Japan was impressed enough with NOA's version that it was translated back and released for essentially the third time in that country, titled ''{{s|nookipedia|Dōbutsu no Mori e+}}''.  

''Animal Crossing'' was established as one of Nintendo's regular franchises following the GameCube release, and every sequel in the ''Animal Crossing'' series had since been released worldwide. From a Western perspective, the second game was ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: Wild World}}'', released for the [[Nintendo DS]] in late 2005, which introduced an online play component to the series. The game also removed region-specific content as a way for all players to potentially have the same experience. The third game, ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: City Folk}}'' (or ''Let's Go To The City'' in PAL regions) for the Wii in late 2008, added a city outside of the main town as a new area that could be visited. The fourth game, ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Leaf}}'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] on November 2012 in Japan and the rest of the world throughout 2013, allows the player character to become the mayor of the town and obtain new customization options for it. This game received an update in 2016 titled  ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo}}'', which introduced [[amiibo]] functionality. In 2017, ''Animal Crossing'' became the fourth Nintendo IP to receive a spinoff for smartphones, with ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp}}'', a campsite management game. On March 20th 2020, ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Horizons}}'' was released on the Nintendo Switch, being the first game since ''City Folk'' to release on a home console. The game itself was massively popular, beating out both ''Wild World'' and ''New Leaf'' to become the best-selling game in the franchise. The franchise had also spawned an anime film that was released only in Japan, and ''Animal Crossing'' properties steadily grew in representation in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games until a character representing a typical ''Animal Crossing'' player-character was included as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' as "{{SSB4|Villager}}".

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.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==

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.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==

''Animal Crossing'' is recognized as its own universe by ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. There are no playable characters to hail from it. However, the [[Villager]] was considered to be playable during the planning stages of ''Brawl'', but the character was scrapped because Sakurai felt that "he wasn't suited for battle".<ref>[http://www.polygon.com/2013/6/26/4465706/masahiro-sakurai-discusses-mega-man-smash-bros-s-other-new-characters Masahiro Sakurai discusses the reasons for choosing Super Smash Bros.' latest characters - Polygon]</ref>

*[[File:Icon-smashville.gif|right|link=Smashville]]'''[[Smashville]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): This stage is essentially a woodland town in the style of towns generated by ''Animal Crossing'' games in general and given a name undoubtedly appropriate to a ''Smash Bros.'' game. It takes place on a simply-laid-out pair of platforms that may be floating around above town, with several characters standing and walking around in the background of the lower platform. In homage to the ''Animal Crossing'' tradition of environmental effects based on time of the day, the stage will display its background based on the time of the day it is when a match is fought on it, such as battles at night being set at that time. If the stage is played at 8:00 Saturday night, a concert-style performance by [[K.K. Slider]] will be playing in the background while the brawl is on.

*'''[[Pitfall]]''': In all ''Animal Crossing'' games to date (though called a pitfall seed in ''Animal Crossing: Wild World''), villagers would occasionally dig a trap called the Pitfall with a shovel. If they took the Pitfall and buried it, neighbors that walked over that part of the ground would fall into a hole and be temporarily trapped. This item has the same effect in ''Brawl'', and translates to the ''Smash Bros.'' universe as a combination of [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Headbutt]] attack and the [[Motion-Sensor Bomb]].

====Assist Trophy====

*'''[[Mr. Resetti]]''': A mole that appears in all the Animal Crossing series games. His name is a pun on the word "Reset," which is what causes him to appear. His job is to make sure the player saves the game. The more the player resets the game without saving, the angrier he gets, eventually reaching the point where he forces the player to perform a number of irrational, absurd actions, such as reciting specific lines word by word. In ''Brawl'', he lectures the players endlessly, much like his role in the ''Animal Crossing'' series, but otherwise has no effect on the battle whatsoever (aside from blowing up occasionally and covering about half the screen).

{{main|List of SSBB Music (Animal Crossing series)}}

*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Animal Crossing|Title (Animal Crossing)}}''': Contrary to the title, this track is not merely a remix of the Title Screen Theme from Animal Crossing, but a whole medley of tracks from ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: Wild World}}''. This track includes the Title Screen Theme, Museum Theme, 3pm - 4pm Theme, Loan Paid Off Jingle, 6am - 7am Theme, Tom Nook's Store Theme and the Town Hall Theme, before looping again.

*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Animal Crossing|Go K.K. Rider!}}''': This track debuted in Animal Crossing, where it was one of the randoms songs K.K. Slider could sing at the train station, and in later games at Brewster's Roost.

*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Animal Crossing|2:00 a.m.}}''': This track's in-game debut was in Animal Crossing: Wild World, where it played between 2:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. In Brawl, the track has been heavily sped up, and has had K.K. Slider vocals added.

*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Animal Crossing|Town Hall and Tom Nook's Store}}''': A medley of both the Town Hall background music from ''Animal Crossing: Wild World'' as well as the music that plays in any of the variations of Tom Nook's store in all ''Animal Crossing'' games.

*'''{{SSBBMusicLink|Animal Crossing|The Roost}}''': A soothing remix of the music track heard in The Roost in ''Animal Crossing: Wild World''.

 

*'''[[List of SSBB Music (Animal Crossing series)#K.K. Slider's Performance|K.K. Cruisin{{'}}]]''': One of K.K. Slider's songs taken directly from the ''Animal Crossing'' games, it only plays during one of his Saturday night concerts on ''Smashville''.

*[[File:VillagerIcon(SSB4-U).png|50px|right|link=Villager (SSB4)]]'''{{SSB4|Villager}}''' ([[Starter character|Starter]]): the playable character from ''Animal Crossing'' debuts as a [[newcomer]], taking his design from the cover of ''Animal Crossing: City Folk''. He was revealed on June 11, 2013 during [[E3 2013]] in the first trailer for ''Smash 4''. All eight of his costumes are based off of other possible appearances from ''Animal Crossing: City Folk'', four of which are female. The Villager uses various tools from the ''Animal Crossing'' series to assist him in battle. Villager can [[pocket]] a wide range of projectile attacks and items to store for later use. His [[side special]], [[Lloid Rocket]], allows Villager to either shoot Lloid as a rocket, or ride him as an effective horizontal recovery. His [[up special]] is {{b|Balloon Trip|move}}, which allows Villager to fly around with balloons. His [[down special]] [[Timber]] is a three state move. Using it once on the ground causes Villager to plant a sapling. Using it a second time causes him to water it which makes it grow into a mature tree. Using it a third time causes Villager to swing his axe. Doing so on the tree can cut it down. Contact with the falling tree results in significant knockback and damage. Villager's [[Final Smash]], [[Dream Home]], involves [[Tom Nook]] and his nephews, [[Timmy & Tommy]], trapping the opponent in a house being built, which then blows up.

*[[File:TortimerIslandIconSSB4-3.png|75px|right|link=Tortimer Island]]'''[[Tortimer Island]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): staged on the [[nookipedia:Tortimer Island|eponymous island]] from ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Leaf}}''. The layout changes every time the stage is loaded. Fruit can fall off trees, which can either serve as healing or throwing items, depending on the fruit. Seashells sometimes appear on the stage and can be picked up and tossed as projectiles. A large {{s|nookipedia|shark}} swims in the water that will attack nearby fighters. [[Kapp'n]] will sometimes drive his boat on the stage, which serves as an additional platform. However, players have to be careful not to get dragged off the stage. The water surrounding the island is not [[swim]]mable. The retired mayor {{s|nookipedia|Tortimer}} and members of Kapp'n's family - {{s|nookipedia|Leilani}}, {{s|nookipedia|Leila}}, and {{s|nookipedia|Grams}} - occasionally appear in the background. It is one of the possible stages to appear in Level 6 of [[All-Star Mode]] as a [[home stage]] for Villager. Its [[Ω form]] is columnar.

 

*[[File:SmashvilleIconSSB4-U.png|75px|right|link=Smashville]]{{gameIcon|SSBB}}'''[[Smashville]]''' ([[Unlockable stage|Unlockable]]): staged above a village from ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: Wild World}}''. It is a large, floating platform with one smaller platform shifting from side-to-side above it. Item-bearing balloons occasionally float in and will drop the item it holds if popped. Animal villagers appear in the background, watching the fight. The villagers that appear are dependent on the time of day. Like Town and City, whether it is day or night on Smashville is dependent on the set time in the Wii U system's internal clock. Smashville is unlocked once the "[[Playing Tricks]]" [[event]] is completed. It is one of the possible stages to appear in Level 2 of [[All-Star Mode]] as a [[home stage]] for Villager. It is large enough to accommodate [[8-Player Smash]]. Its [[Ω form]] is a floating platform like [[Final Destination]].

*[[File:TownandCityIconSSB4-U.png|75px|right|link=Town and City]]'''[[Town and City]]''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): staged above a suburb from ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: City Folk}}''. The stage is similar to Smashville and [[Battlefield]]: it is a large, floating platform with three smaller platforms above it. Eventually, the main platform travels from the suburb to the city from ''City Folk''. This transition replaces the three smaller platforms with two. During each stop, a background platform with various animal villagers watching will hover behind the main stage. The villagers that appear are dependent on the time of day and whether it is staged in the suburb or city. Like Smashville, whether it is day or night on Town and City is dependent on the set time in the Wii U system's internal clock. It is one of the possible stages to appear in Level 2 of [[All-Star Mode]] as a [[home stage]] for Villager. It is large enough to accommodate [[8-Player Smash]]. Its [[Ω form]] is a floating platform like [[Final Destination]], overlooking the city plaza.{{clr}}

 

<small>'''''Bold italics''''' denotes an item or Assist Trophy new to the ''Smash Bros.'' series.</small>

*'''[[Pitfall]]''' (throwing): a white "seed" from the ''Animal Crossing'' series with a red "!" on it. Tossing one lays a trap that will [[bury]] opponents who walk over it or is directly hit by it. Striking an aerial opponent will immediately [[meteor smash]] them.

*'''''[[Beehive]]''''' (throwing): a colony of insects from the ''Animal Crossing'' series. If thrown at an opponent, a swarm of bees will start attacking that opponent. If the hive strikes the ground, the bees will attack the thrower instead.

 

Mr. Resetti has been replaced by Isabelle as a new Assist Trophy.

*'''''[[Isabelle]]''''': the secretary for the player character in ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Leaf}}''. She tosses fruit towards the summoner that heals them on contact. It is possible for opponents to intercept the fruit, but they have to actively grab them with the shield or attack buttons. Isabelle cannot be attacked, but she will flinch if opponents get close. If the summoner is KO'd while she is still out, she will hunch over with a dismayed expression until the player returns. Conversely, she will cheer if her summoner scores a KO. The [[Pic of the Day]] that revealed her inclusion was written from her perspective.

 

*'''[[Timmy & Tommy]]''' ({{color|#00F|Blue}}): [[Tom Nook]]'s nephews. The user transforms nearby items into different items. Fighters do not turn into other fighters, and instead will be replaced with items or stat boosts.

*'''[[Isabelle]]''' ({{color|#00F|Blue}}): the secretary for the player character in ''New Leaf''. The user changes nearby stat boosts to maximum size.

*'''[[Mr. Resetti]]''' ({{color|#F00|Red}}): an easily frustrated lecturer from the ''Animal Crossing'' series. The user reduces a chosen opponent's stats to 0 for one battle. He previously appeared as an Assist Trophy in ''Brawl''.

*'''Bus to the City''' ({{color|#00F|Blue}}): [[Kapp'n]]'s bus from ''Animal Crossing: City Folk''. The user calls everyone to the user's space.

 

 

*{{Head|Mii Gunner|g=SSB4|s=24x24px}} '''[[Isabelle|Isabelle Outfit]]''' ([[DLC]]): the outfit is based on [[Isabelle]], the secretary for the player character in ''{{s|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Leaf}}''. She is a very popular ''Animal Crossing'' character and has been pushed as the face of the franchise since the release of ''Smash 4''. Isabelle herself serves as an Assist Trophy. The costume was released with a corresponding hat as downloadable content on June 14, 2015. The Mii wears a blonde dog suit with a white blouse, red bow-tie, plaid vest, and green skirt. It wields a party popper similar to the one used by Isabelle during holidays and other special events in ''New Leaf''.

 

*{{Head|Mii Gunner|g=SSB4|s=24x24px}} '''[[K.K. Slider|K.K. Slider Outfit]]''' ([[DLC]]): the outfit is based on [[K.K. Slider]], a nomadic musician from the original ''{{iw|nookipedia|Animal Crossing}}''. In Japan, this costume was available with a corresponding hat for free as part of a promotion with {{s|wikipedia|7-Eleven}} from June 19 through July 11, 2015. It was later released worldwide for free on July 31, 2015 as part of the 1.1.0 update. It was the only Mii Fighter set released for free. The Mii wears a white, full-body dog suit and wields K.K.'s acoustic guitar.

 

 

 

Compositions and arrangements directly sourced from ''Animal Crossing'' games with no alterations. All sourced tracks are "[[wikipedia:Virtual band|sung]]" by [[K.K. Slider]]. He appears in the background of Smashville and Town and City between 8:00 pm and midnight on Saturdays. All pieces are from the original ''Animal Crossing''.

 

 

"'''Title'''" from the original ''Animal Crossing'' was used in the "1st Trailer" for ''Smash 4'', which also served as the reveal trailer for Villager.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*{{GameIcon|SSBB}}'''{{SSBUMusicLink|Animal Crossing|2:00 a.m. - Animal Crossing: Wild World}}''': An arrangement of "02:00 a.m. -Totakeke Mix-" from ''Animal Crossing Sound CD: Keke's Choice! Mix'', a remix of the original 2 a.m music from ''Wild World''. Returns from ''Brawl''.

*{{GameIcon|SSB4}}'''{{SSBUMusicLink|Animal Crossing|Tortimer Island Medley}}''': A medley of tracks that play on [[Tortimer Island]] from ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf''. Returns from ''Smash 4''.

**{{GameIcon|SSBU}} The {{iw|nookipedia|Town Hall}} appears on Isabelle's [[on-screen appearance]] and in her Final Smash.

**{{GameIcon|SSBB}} [[Smashville]] draws primarily from this game. The overall aesthetic of the stage's background, the flat village, and elements such as Kapp'n's taxi, the Roost cafe, and some of the background villagers originated in this game. The stage is simple; its biggest gimmick likely being how the stage changes depending on the time of day. Similar to both ''Animal Crossing'' and ''Wild World'', K.K. Slider will appear on the stage at 8:00 PM on Saturdays for four hours.

 

**{{GameIcon|SSB4-WIIU}} "'''{{SSBUMusicLink|Animal Crossing|Plaza / Title Theme - Animal Crossing: City Folk / Animal Crossing: Wild World}}'''": Incorporates the music of the City Plaza from this game and the Title and 2:00 AM themes present in both this game and ''Wild World'', acting as the main theme of the aforementioned stage.

==Trivia==

*''Animal Crossing'' is the only universe with multiple playable characters in which all of them have made a non-playable appearance in the series prior to their playable debuts, as several [[Villager]]s can appear in the background for [[Smashville]] in ''Brawl'' and [[Isabelle]] appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''Smash 4''.

*The ''Animal Crossing'' universe is the only universe in ''Brawl'' to have its own section in the [[Sound Test]] and Trophy Gallery that does not have a playable character.

*''Animal Crossing'' is the only universe in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series with playable characters that had [[Smashville|a stage]] debut before any playable characters, not counting the {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} universe itself.

*''Animal Crossing'' is the first universe to make a playable debut in ''SSB4'' that has more than one playable character.

*''Animal Crossing'' and {{uv|Mega Man}} are the only universes to have a completely different Assist Trophy in each installment. For ''Animal Crossing'': only [[Mr. Resetti]] is in ''Brawl'', only [[Isabelle]] is in ''Smash 4'', and only [[Kapp'n]] is in ''Ultimate''.

*''Animal Crossing'' is tied with {{uv|Duck Hunt}} for having the longest duration between its debut in the series and its playable character's debut, with both series debuting in ''Melee'' before receiving playable characters in ''Smash 4''.

*''Animal Crossing'' is the earliest fighter-based universe to debut after the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series' debut.

*''Animal  Crossing'' is one of two universes to introduce multiple playable characters, all of whom lack a voice actor. The other is {{uv|Donkey Kong}}.
