Mr. Resetti (リセットさん, Risetto-san) makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as an Assist Trophy, where he simply sits where he was released and lectures the players with long monologues that can last for over a minute before leaving with his signature "SCRAM!". His large text boxes obscure a large section of the upper playing field, which can be distracting to fighters, or the lower area of the screen (depending on his position), obscuring the damage percentages. He will respond to certain events, such as him falling off the playing field on a moving stage, where he will say, "H-hey! Don't you ditch me punk!".

Mr. Resetti yelling

Depending on the time of day, Mr. Resetti may make a comment (for example, at night, Mr. Resetti tells players to "Get some shut-eye", adding that "Staying up late is for punks"). He will also do impressions of characters on the field (calling them by their player name if those are being used, and usually their win screen taunt). It's possible to interact with him by attacking him, but doing so only adds to his complaining. He will also block projectiles that are thrown at him. Also, he can occasionally explode when attacked enough by players. Mr. Resetti's text box will be visible regardless of the camera position, and even show up on Snapshots.

He also appeared as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee. (Because Animal Crossing had not yet been released outside of Japan at the time of Melee's release, Mr. Resetti's first appearance is listed on his trophy as "Future Release").

Origin

Mr. Resetti is a character in the Animal Crossing games. In all four games, he would appear whenever the player walked out their house after they reset the system or turned the power off without saving. Mr. Resetti would bother the player by giving a long lecture on how "resetting" the game is bad. The player usually had to apologize to Mr. Resetti in order for him to leave. Sometimes though, apologizing wouldn't be enough for Mr. Resetti; he would keep shouting, and sometimes make the player repeat a phrase that is meant to humiliate the player (such as "I'm dirt"). He also sometimes gives a code that he says and you have to type it correctly. In Brawl, Mr. Resetti gives a long lecture about not resetting the game without saving.

Mr. Resetti

Prepare to receive a really long talking-to if you reset this game: the next time you play, Mr. Resetti will be waiting to deliver his best scolding. No matter what your intentions are, pressing the RESET Button will bring you face-to-face with this fervent character. Sometimes the only way to shut him up is to apologize.

Mr. Resetti

Mr. Resetti trophy in Brawl.

A mole wearing a hard hat who'll show up when you restart your game without having saved. He pops up and lets you know in no uncertain terms the importance of saving your game. The problem is, his speeches are entertaining enough to warrant breaking the rules at least once. In Animal Crossing, his brother Don appears too. He's the polar opposite of his sibling.

Mr. Resetti (Feet)

A character who normally appears from underground to lecture the player. However, he is not always underground--in Animal Crossing: Wild World, he can be found sipping coffee at The Roost if you go at a certain time on a certain day. In the Japanese-only "e+" version, he works at a so-called "Resetti Observation Center" where you can pop in for a visit.

One-player glitch

Mr. Resetti saying "Resetti" in a hacked one-player match.

By entering a match with only one player by means of hacking and getting Resetti out of an Assist Trophy, Mr. Resetti is forced to say his own name instead of the nonexistent second player's name, in the sentence "[Player 1].... [Player 2].... You'd be runnin' home to Mama!". The glitched message will appear as "[Player 1].... Resetti.... You'd be runnin' home to Mama!". Presumably, "Resetti" is the next string in memory at the time after the player names, or the game is programmed to display "Resetti" if there is any sort of error getting the intended target's name.

Trivia

• Interestingly, Resetti is one of only three Assist Trophies in the game whose actual trophy is different from his artwork on the Smash Bros. DOJO!!. Dr. Wright and Lyn are the others.
• When Mr. Resetti is on stage, Smash Balls won't appear.
