Brawl (as "Animal Crossing Boy/Girl"), two trophies (plus a trophy for their Final Smash in the Wii U game) in the 3DS/Wii U game and two Fighter Spirits (one for each gender) in Ultimate.

Ultimate: Adventure and Classic Mode

In the Adventure Mode of Ultimate, "World of Light", the male Villager was seen in the opening cutscene among the forces assembled to oppose Galeem and his Master Hand army. When Galeem unleashed his beams of light upon them, the Villager was seen running around in circles near Wii Fit Trainer and Duck Hunt. All three were overtaken by beams at the same time and fell under Galeem's control. The Villager was among the first characters who could be awakened. At a crossroads near the beginning of Adventure Mode, the Villager was one of three characters who the player could choose to challenge (the other two being Sheik and Marth). If the player awakened one of the other two first, then Master Hand would block off the others, and the player would have to return for them later. Once battled and defeated, the Villager would be awakened and join the playable roster.

In Classic Mode, the Villager's personal route as called "Mistake to Underestimate". The theme of the Villager's opponents in this route is that they were all people who appeared to be unsuitable for combat. The pre-boss portion of the route was bookended by Animal Crossing battles, starting with a battle against a group of Villagers and ending with a battle against Isabelle. The boss of the route was Master Hand (aided by Crazy Hand on higher difficulties).
