Mr. Resetti is a character in the Animal Crossing games. In both games, if the player turned the power off on the Nintendo GameCube or Nintendo DS, whenever the player walked out his or her house, he or she would come face to face with Mr. Resetti. Mr. Resetti would bother the player about how "resetting" the game is bad. He wouldn't stop annoying the player until the player apologized. Sometimes though, apologizing wouldn't be enough for Mr. Resetti and he would keep shouting and sometimes make the player say a phrase like "I'M DIRT!" or something similar. He got a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee before the GameCube Animal Crossing or Animal Crossing: Wild World came out (his trophy reads: "future release", although Animal Crossing was released on the N64 months prior).
He also makes an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl 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 moving stages). Depending on the time of day, Mr Resetti may make a comment (For example, at night-time, Resetti tells players to "Get some shut-eye", adding that "Staying up late is for punks".
He will also do impressions of players 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. Resetti's text box will be visible regardless of the camera position, and even shows up on Snapshots. He is often considered one of, if not the most, Assist Trophies to get in a brawl.
Trophy Description
Mr. Resetti
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 certain 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 roast 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.
