==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==

===As a playable character===

{{Main|Villager (SSB4)}}

The male Villager was confirmed as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' in the first trailer shown for the game at [[E3]] 2013. It would later be confirmed on May 16th, 2014, that, like the [[Wii Fit Trainer]], players will have access to both male and female variations of the Villager. The default Villager's design is based on the male Villager on the boxart of ''Animal Crossing: City Folk'', albeit with tweaked proportions. His moveset consists of attacking with various miscellaneous objects from the ''Animal Crossing'' series, and he is capable of picking up any item or projectile to use it again later.

Currently, Villager ranks 25th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing within the C tier. Villager has a highly effective zoning game thanks to his forward and back aerial slingshot [[projectile]]s, and his [[Lloid Rocket]]. He himself can also counter opposing projectiles with his [[Pocket]] special,  allowing him to catch and store away projectiles, which he can then send back to the opponent with amplified damage. Timber can also be used for a potentially devastating [[edge-guarding]] move. Despite his [[weight]] class, Villager sports some rather powerful attacks, such as his up and down aerials and forward smash. Yet, Villager's weaknesses lay in his slow grab, and lack of reliable KO set-ups despite the aforementioned power of some moves. Regardless, Villager is seen as a very capable character for tournament play, earning him strong results.

===As a playable character===

{{Main|Villager (SSBU)}}

Villager returns as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. The male and female variations of the Villager also return from ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. Unlike the previous game, Villager is an unlockable character instead of a starter character. Villager can potentially be the first character unlocked in the game, as the first character in {{SSBU|Pikachu}}’s Classic Mode character unlock tree.

*Villager and [[Isabelle]] are the only playable characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series whose Japanese names are written entirely in hiragana, as opposed to katakana or kanji.

*In some languages, Villager has two different names to refer to the male and female versions. [[Wii Fit Trainer]], [[Inkling]], [[Pokémon Trainer]], [[Byleth]], and the [[Mii|Mii Fighters]] also share this trait.

*Although based on the player appearance in earlier ''Animal Crossing'' games, primarily ''Animal Crossing: City Folk'', Villager is twice referred to as a mayor, a role the player character has under a different design in ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf''; the [[Boxing Ring]] stage lists Villager's character title as "Mayor of [[Smashville]]", while Isabelle states "the mayor [is] busy with the campsite and Smash" in her reveal trailer for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Additionally, the first trailer for ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' features Villager in a town designed after ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'', and [[Palutena]] claims in the [[Palutena's Guidance]] for Isabelle that the two are from the same town.
