The Villagers are characters from the Animal Crossing series. They were confirmed as playable characters in Super Smash Bros. 4 and use various tools from their home series, such as a shovel, an axe, and a net.

Character description

In the Animal Crossing series the player acts as the sole human in a town filled with friendly anthropomorphic animals. The player doesn't have a universal appearance, with the look of the player being determined by a series of questions presented by the first non-playable character the player interacts with. Usually this NPC is Rover the Cat, who introduces the player to Animal Crossing. This survey not only determines the player's face but also the villager's gender, the name of their town, and the layout of their town.

While the role of the villager varies very slightly in the series, the general consensus is that the villager lives his or her life in this town with animals. Unlike most games, there is no universal plot to the series but there are plenty of things for the player to do such as go fishing, shopping, designing clothing, etc. The villager also tends to the town's environment such as by planting flowers or by cutting down excess trees.

In the latest title, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the role of the villager is expanded to the villager acting as the town mayor, and this gives the player greater control in managing and customizing their town.

The villagers featured in Super Smash Bros. 4 appears to be based off of the artwork for the male and female villagers in Animal Crossing: City Folk.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

The Villager is mentioned in both K.K. Slider's and Tom Nook's trophy descriptions.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The Villager appears as a background character in Smashville.

A Villager also appears as a trophy in Brawl, in which he is called "Animal Crossing Boy".

The male player character from Animal Crossing. He feels the need to set out on his own and move into town. Chatting with neighbors is a given, but there are a ton of other things to do as well, like collecting furniture, customizing rooms, catching fish and bugs, digging up fossils, etc. He may get bee stung or fall in a pit, but he still has fun.

The Villager was considered as a character in the planning stages of Brawl, but dropped because "he wasn't suited for battle".

As a playable character

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. His moveset consists of attacking with various miscellaneous objects from the Animal Crossing series, and is capable of picking up any item or projectile to throw it later.

On May 16th it was confirmed that, like the Wii Fit Trainer, players will have access to both male and female variations of the Villager.

Villager

NA: An energetic young man from a peaceful town in Animal Crossing, he is eager to make his Smash Bros. debut! His Balloon Trip recovery lets him fly like a character from Balloon Fight. The Villager sets out to answer that age-old question: If a tree falls on the battlefield and foes are beneath it, do they get launched?

PAL: This chipper chap came all the way from his quiet little village to do a bit of aerial sightseeing, take Lloid out for a spin, look after the trees and maybe do some bowling. If you're very lucky, he might even bring along Tom Nook and the Nooklings and throw everyone a party. Gosh, this all sounds like such fun!

Villager (Alt.)

NA: Just a normal girl living a normal life in a normal town—her special moves, however, are anything but. She can pocket items, projectiles, and even beams, and then pull them out at a moment's notice. Her down special lets her plant a tree, water it, and chop it down. If she leaves the tree standing, she can use the axe against foes.

PAL: This girl's special moves are very special indeed. The standard one lets you pocket items, projectiles and even laser beams, then use them by pressing the button again. Her down special plants a tree, which you can water and finally chop down to hurt other fighters. Or you can leave the tree alone and attack with the axe. Up to you.
