In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The Villager appears as a background character in Smashville.

A Villager also appears as a trophy in Brawl, where 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".

In Super Smash Bros. 4

Villager was confirmed as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 in the first trailer shown for the game at E3 2013.

Trivia

• Sakurai previously stated that the Villager had an "innocent charm that would be ruined if he was in a fighting game." Despite this, the Villager is playable in Super Smash Bros. 4.
• Since the Villager was revealed as a playable character, an Internet meme became widespread, portraying the Villager as a psychopath. This is mostly due to how the Villager is always smiling, the gleam in his eye during the trailer for Super Smash Bros. 4, and the usage of dangerous weapons, such as an axe. A similar meme has also happened with the Wii Fit Trainer.
• Villager is the only newcomer to be in SSBB. He was in the background of Smashville. He also got his own trophy, though he was called "Animal Crossing Boy". He also had a different hairstyle.
