Mr. Resetti (リセットさん, Mr. Reset), also know as just Resetti, is a mole that appears in all the Animal Crossing series games. His job is to make sure the player saves. The more times you reset the harsher he gets, so children must make sure that they save their game. After resetting many times in Animal Crossing: Wild World he'll talk about his cousin Vicious Vole Vinnie. Though there is another mole named Don Resetti who is a lot calmer.

His name is a pun on the word "Reset" as that is what causes him to appear. Resetting the game too many times will lead to a "fake" reset.

"Resetting... It's like...pressing an emergency call button. You press it and I gotta come read you the riot act. See?"

— Mr. Resetti, Animal Crossing

Resetti's role in Animal Crossing stays the same throughout the whole series, but one of the main differences in this game is when he tells the player "Thanks for buying Animal Crossing!", which breaks down the fourth wall, where characters in a game or television program talk directly to the audience, or in this case, the playable character. As forementioned, he appears when the Gamecube resets or is turned off without saving. He will appear outside the players house, giving a lecture of why saving is important. Resetting constantly will lead to him forcing the player to repeat lines of text to remind them of the importance of saving.

Role in Animal Crossing: Wild World

"If you're gonna quit, you gotta SAVE first! Use your head, punk! It's even written in the manual!"

— Mr. Resetti, Animal Crossing: Wild World

"... You hate me, don't you? I mean, you just hate me more than anything, right? More than laundry, traffic jams an' bad breath all rolled together, right?"

— Mr. Resetti, Animal Crossing: Wild World

In Animal Crossing: Wild World, he plays the same role as in the GameCube game. However, he may be seen in The Roost in the Museum on Sundays between 2:30 PM and 4:00 PM drinking coffee with a relaxed, calm attitude. He will talk about his work and will not be against you.

"Uh, yeah, so anyway, this is Animal Crossing: City Folk. Thanks for pickin' it up. Appreciate the support. So, on behalf of everyone at Nintendo, I... Uh... Yeah... So... I mean, I, uh...Oh FORGET ABOUT IT!"

— Mr. Resetti, Animal Crossing: City Folk

His role in Animal Crossing: City Folk stays the same as in Animal Crossing and Animal Crossing: Wild World, but he can now be encountered in new area in the city, called the Resetti Surveillance Centre, with his older brother occasionally making an appearance at the venue. This appears once the player has drank one coffee each day for 7 days at the roost, then one day after 8:00 PM, to the right of the city near the tunnel where he may give the player a Silver Shovel to leave the area. He will also appear the second time the game is accessed by the same player, to talk about the important of saving, regardless of whether or not the game has been turned off or reset with or without saving. This is the only time he will appear by the player's house for something positive.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Trophy Information

Mr. Resetti

A mole wearing a hard hat who'll show up when you restart your game without having saved. He pops up and lets you know in no certain terms the importance of saving your game. The problem is, his speeches are entertaining enough to warrant breaking the rules at least once.

Mr. Resetti (Feet)

A monster that normally appears from underground to terrorize players. However, he is not always mean or underground--in Animal Crossing: Wild World, he can be found sipping coffee at The Roost if you go at a certain time on a certain day. In the Japanese-only "e+" version, he works at a so-called "Resetti Observation Center" where you can pop in for a visit.

Trivia

• Mr. Resetti's name is a play on the word "reset", as he comes whenever you try to reset the game and or quit without saving.
• His first name is revealed to be "Sonny" in Animal Crossing and Animal Crossing: City Folk by his brother, Don.

Parental Guidance in European Manuals

In the European Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City instruction manual, it states that Mr. Resetti may be frightening and/or disturbing to young children.

"Information for parents - Mr Resetti

It is important that players save before switching off the Wii console in order to retain data after each play session (see Saving Data, above). If players switch off without saving, the character Mr. Resetti may appear upon restarting.

Mr. Resetti's purpose is to teach players the importance of saving. However, parents should be aware that his personality and tone of voice, while intentionally humourous, are authoritative and may be disturbing to young children."
