The Villager is a character from the Animal Crossing series. The Villager joined Mario Kart 8 on April 23, 2015, as part of the second DLC pack: Animal Crossing: New Leaf X Mario Kart 8. When selected, a drop down menu containing both male and female Villagers will appear. The Villager was also joined by Isabelle (also from Animal Crossing) and Dry Bowser, the latter debuting in Mario Kart Wii as a playable character.

The Villager also appears in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as part of the base game content. However, both the male and female Villagers were made into separate characters with different stats.

Characteristics[]

MarioKart8-AnimalCrossing

The female Villager is out for a drive in Animal Crossing. Don't let that smile fool you!

Villager's role in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, as you might have guessed, is a villager who also works as the town mayor. The male Villager wears a team NTDO tee, a pair of tan dogtooth pants, and basketball shoes. He has shaggy brown hair, a red pointed nose, and green eyes. His stats are similar to Tanooki Mario.

The female Villager wears a red riding dress, black formal pants, and shearling boots. She has her hair in a pink ponytail, pink eyes, and a red pointed nose. She has the same stats as Cat Peach.

Unlike the other characters, the Villager is entirely mute. They do, however, react with sound effects from Animal Crossing: New Leaf upon performing actions. For example: When Villager hits a racer with an item, they cheer with the "Surprise" reaction. If they get hit, they respond with "Sadness" (albeit flailing all four of their limbs without tears).

While doing tricks, Villager will either perform the "Flourish", "Laughter", or "Greetings" reactions. If they fall off a course, they'll respond with the "Shocked" reaction.

Upon finishing a race, the Villager responds with the following reactions: Joy for first (The Villagers close their eyes with their hand to their cheek and giggle with flowers around their head.), Glee for a top rank (They clap.), and Sorrow for a bottom rank (Same as their "Sadness" reaction, but holding both arms to their eyes with only their legs flailing.).

Trivia![]

  • Both of the Villagers, as mentioned above, are based on their artwork for Animal Crossing: New Leaf, which was later repurposed for Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo.
