'''Tortimer''' is an elderly [[tortoise]] who is the [[mayor]] of the [[town]] the [[player]] moves into in the {{SER}} prior to {{NL}}, where that role is given to the player. He has appeared in every installment in the ''Animal Crossing'' series, with the exception of {{DnM}}. His name is a portmanteau of ''tortoise'' and the given name ''Mortimer''.

In games before {{NL|nolink}}, Tortimer appears outside celebrating during town [[events]] and will give the player holiday-specific items. In {{NL|nolink}}, Tortimer has retired from the role of mayor and now lives on [[Tortimer Island]] where he works as a tour guide. 

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
[[File:Tortimer DnM+.png|thumb|left|80px|Artwork of Tortimer from the {{DnM+}}.]]
Tortimer is a light olive, elderly tortoise who wears black, rounded glasses. His shell has a multicolored pattern shared with that of [[Kapp'n]]. His mouth and eyes have notable wrinkles. When not wearing a hat, a single, large strand of black hair can be seen on his head.

===Clothing===
In {{DnM+}} and {{DnMe+}}, Tortimer wears a red zucchetto with blue lenses in his glasses. For his mayoral attire in the English version of {{PG|nolink}}, {{WW|short}}, and {{CF|short}}, he wears a black top hat and a bowtie on the front of his shell, and his glasses have clear lenses. Starting in {{NL|nolink}}, he wears a straw hat and a red aloha shirt, indicating his retirement.

===Personality===
[[File:GDnM Tortimer Statue.png|{{Film|nolink}}|thumb|right|200px|A statue of Tortimer in town hall in {{Film}}.]]
In numerous games and other media, Tortimer seems to have a large ego, to the extent of having his own {{Wp|cult of personality}}. This is most notably shown in {{Film}}, as Tortimer continuously tells [[Ai]] of his authority as mayor by mentioning "me the mayor" multiple times, at the same time many of his egotistical possessions are shown. Tortimer's [[e-Reader card]] also claims that he enjoys his job as mayor, further supporting this. However, the extent of his ego is slightly toned down in the games, being reduced to him constantly reminding the player of his authority, such as during [[Nature Day]] in {{CF|short|nolink}}, with the slogan "Mother Nature and Father MAYOR." Despite this, Tortimer is also shown in the games to be somewhat greedy, as [[cranky]] [[villager]]s will sometimes say that he takes money the player donates to buy expensive things in {{WW}}, such as a plasma TV, while using the town of [[Boondox]] to justify the donations. However, these could simply be rumors. Tortimer, as part of his pride, also greatly respects the elderly as well as his species, asking the player at the beginning of each game who they look up to or their favorite animal, respectively. If the player does not choose "grandpa" or "turtle" for each respective question, Tortimer will be seen with a contemptful expression.

===Background===
Occasionally, Tortimer talks about his life previous to becoming mayor. He talks about being an expert gardener and once had a wife, Mrs. Tortimer, though she is believed to have died tragically. Some villagers speculate that he became incredibly rich on the turnip market, while others believe he gained money illegally and used it to build the [[town hall]]. This is backed up by the fact that there are no taxes in the player's town, and that Tortimer himself never has to face election. Also, according to the gossip of villagers in {{CF|short|nolink}}, his shell might be fake.

==Appearances==
===In the first-generation games===
[[File:Tortimer PG.png|thumb|left|80px|Artwork of Tortimer from {{PG}}.]]
Tortimer appears in {{DnM+}}, {{PG}}, and {{DnMe+}}. During the player's [[part-time job]] for [[Tom Nook]], he appears at the [[wishing well]] to greet the player. He also appears there during most [[event]]s to give the player an exclusive item. During the [[Fishing Tourney]]s, Tortimer appears in a random acre rather than at the wishing well.

After the player catches every fish or bug, Tortimer appears outside their house the next time the game is loaded to give them the {{I|golden rod|PG}} or {{I|golden net|PG}}, respectively.

After the 15th villager moves into town, Tortimer appears in a random river acre and asks the player if they would like a [[bridge]] built there. If the player says no, he will reappear each day in a different acre.

===In {{WW|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Tortimer WW.png|thumb|right|100px|Artwork of Tortimer from {{WW}}.]]
Tortimer returns in {{WW}}, serving the same role as the previous installment, except he is now stationed at the newly added town hall. As in {{PG|nolink}}, the player is required to speak with him at the start of the game and afterward gives out special items to commemorate holidays. If no event is occurring, Tortimer can be seen napping at his desk in the town hall behind [[Pelly]] or [[Phyllis]]. Tortimer also appears as the host of [[Fishing Tourney]]s and [[Bug-Off]]s. During the [[Acorn Festival]], [[Cornimer]], a character who is heavily implied to be Tortimer in disguise, is introduced as the mascot of the event.

===In {{CF|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Tortimer CF.png|thumb|left|80px|Artwork of Tortimer from {{CF}}.]]
Tortimer's role in {{CF}} is virtually identical to his role in {{WW|nolink}}, with the exception of various new holidays being added. He no longer hosts the Fishing Tourney or Bug-Off, which are now hosted by [[Chip]] and [[Nat]], respectively.

He will also appear when a new structure ([[bridge]], [[fountain]], [[windmill]], or [[lighthouse]]) is built as a result of donations to the [[town fund]].

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Tortimer NL.png|thumb|right|80px|Artwork of Tortimer from {{NL}}.]]
Tortimer's role is vastly changed in {{NL}}, as he is no longer the mayor of the player's town. Instead, he has retired to [[Tortimer Island]], a private resort home to various activities, known as "[[tour]]s", while [[Isabelle]] fulfills his previous role of distributing festive items. On the island, Tortimer appears as the host of each tour, explaining the rules and regulations for each one, as well as keeping score of the player's progress. Cornimer's head also appears in the Hammer tours, attached to the lawnmower that is hit in the tour. His ego in previous games has also been greatly toned down.

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Tortimer's Poster NH Icon.png|thumb|left|Tortimer's poster in {{NH|short|nolink}}.]]
Tortimer was added to {{NH}} in the [[Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Update history/2.0|2.0 Free Update]]. He appears at the open market on [[Harv's Island]], where he allows the player to access their home's [[storage unit|storage]]. In addition, {{I|Tortimer's poster|NH}} can be obtained from [[Nook Shopping]] after inviting him to [[Photopia]] via his [[amiibo]] card.

===In {{PC|short|nolink}}===
[[File:Tortimer PC.png|thumb|right|80px|Artwork of Tortimer from {{PC}}.]]
Tortimer's role is once again changed in {{PC}}, in which Tortimer hosted a [[garden event]], Tortimer's Floral Fancy, from December 27, 2018 to January 7, 2019.

===In {{Film|nolink}}===
[[File:Animal Village.png|thumb|left|280px|Tortimer meeting Ai in {{Film|nolink}}.]]
In {{Film}}, Tortimer is the mayor of [[Animal Village]]. He appears in town hall when Ai moves in, then outside town hall in the winter to announce the Winter Festival and later to announce the winner of the festival. Throughout the film, Tortimer is running for reelection. Despite running unopposed, he is worried about losing, and he urges all of the residents to vote. At the end of the film, it is shown that Tortimer was the only one in Animal Village who voted.

==Other appearances==
===In {{SSBB|nolink}}===
In {{SSBB}}, Tortimer appears as both a trophy and a sticker, and in the background of the [[Smashville]] stage.
{{TrophyInfo

|description=The mayor of the player's town. Usually in his office in the town hall, he emerges on holidays to usher in special festivities. He's a busy fellow who also serves as the record keeper for fishing and bug-catching tournaments. He cuts a very dashing figure in his hat and bow tie. There may be some link between him and Cornimer, who appears at the fall Acorn Festival.

===In {{SSB4|3dswiiu|nolink}}===
Tortimer appears as a trophy and has a chance of appearing in the background of the Tortimer Island stage exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS version. In the Wii U version, Tortimer also appears as a spectator in the Smashville and [[Town and City]] stages, but doesn't have a trophy.
{{TrophyInfo

|description='''NTSC-U''': A former mayor who is living out his retirement on a tropical island. He's not a hermit, though, and absolutely loves spending time with anyone who goes to visit his tropical paradise. Everyone could learn from his generous spirit. And that aloha shirt looks great!<br><br> '''PAL''': Many cultures around the world see the tortoise as a symbol of great age and wisdom, and Tortimer embodies both in spades. A former town mayor, he now lives a slightly quieter life organising island tours and giving out medals. The Hawaiian shirt definitely wasn't part of his mayoral attire.
