The villager's first appearance in the ''Mario'' franchise is in the [[Animal Crossing: Wild World]] microgame in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', in which the objective is for the player to catch a fish. The villager seen in this game, however, is not based on any specific villager artwork in the ''Animal Crossing'' franchise. This microgame returns in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''.

Villager returns as an unlockable playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Players can now see what the Villager has pocketed over the HUD icon on the bottom of the screen. Additionally, Villager can now pocket items with their net grab. Other than this, Villager's moveset is largely unchanged.

However, Villager benefits from the game's universal changes: their mobility is faster; their aerial attacks have less landing lag; their short hop timing is reduced; they can directionally air dodge; and they can use any grounded attack out of a run and use any of their aerials while on ladders.

Villager remains a middleweight, now having the same weight as [[Ice Climbers]], [[Lucario]], [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]], [[Steve (Minecraft)|Steve]], and [[Mythra]], while being lighter than [[Joker]] and heavier than [[Toon Link]] and [[Palutena]].


The male Villager cameos alongside [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[King K. Rool]] in the reveal trailer for [[Ken Masters]] and [[Incineroar]], where he is shown wanting to challenge the latter over the former's defeat, much to Incineroar's chagrin.

The Villager appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as a downloadable character, available for purchase as part of the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC pack as one of the two playable ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (series)|Animal Crossing]]'' characters, with the other being [[Isabelle]]. Like with ''Super Smash Bros.'', both a male and female villager variant are available, both based upon the boy and girl villager artwork from ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: New Leaf|Animal Crossing: New Leaf]]''. Their kart symbol is the leaf symbol that represents furniture in the ''Animal Crossing'' series.

The male Villager shares his stats with [[Tanooki Mario]], while the female Villager shares her stats with [[Cat Mario|Cat Peach]]. The Villager is the only character in ''Mario Kart 8'' that does not have a voice; instead, they use many sound effects from the ''Animal Crossing'' series.

The Villager is the only character in ''Mario Kart 8'' and its port that does not have a voice; instead, they use many sound effects from the ''Animal Crossing'' series.


Both Villagers return as playable characters in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. Unlike the [[Wii U]] game, they take up separate locations on the character select screen (and therefore are treated as separate characters), and are included within the base game.<ref>http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/mario-kart-8-deluxe-switch</ref>
Both Villagers return as playable characters in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. When the game was first released, they took up separate locations on the character select screen (and therefore are treated as separate characters, though they are both referred to as "Villager" despite this), and are included within the base game. However, as with the [[Inkling]]s, they now share a spot as of Wave 6 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', much like the [[Wii U]] game.<ref>http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/mario-kart-8-deluxe-switch</ref> Both Villagers remain middleweight characters; the male shares statistics with Tanooki Mario and [[Inkling|Inkling Boy]], while the female is among the lightest middleweights, alongside Cat Peach, Inkling Girl, and [[Diddy Kong]].
