GRAAAH! I SAID NO RESETTIN'! WHAT DON'T YOU GET?! THE 'NO' OR THE 'RESETTIN'' PART?!
— Mr. Resetti, Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Sonny Resetti, usually referred to as Mr. Resetti or just Resetti, is a grumpy mole character in the Animal Crossing series.

Working for the Reset Surveillance Center, Resetti checks whether the player properly saved the game before quitting. If they did not, the next time they start the game, he appears by their house to lecture them. The more the player resets, Resetti becomes angrier. He forces the player to type apologies and self-deprecating phrases, and can even resort to fourth-wall-breaking scare tactics like pretending to delete the save file. His tirades often end on a non sequitur.

Resetti is controversial for his hostile authoritative personality, which upset and frightened some players instead of coming across as humorous. Instruction manuals started to warn parents about the character, and he has taken on less prominent roles in games since.

Mr. Resetti cares deeply for his brother Don, who sometimes fills in for him after a reset.

Appearances[]

Canon appearances[]

Mr. Resetti was a staple character who used to appear in every Animal Crossing game. However, his role has become less prominent due to the controversy and his obsolescence by the autosave feature.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Resetti is laid off. However, players can opt into bringing him back through a public works project, for which he will be grateful. He also lets the player off the hook if they say their batteries died or they don't remember resetting.

Following the introduction of autosave, Resetti is also absent from Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, and did not appear onscreen in the original version of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Mr. Resetti also appears in trophy form in Super Smash Bros. Melee alongside Tom Nook and K.K. Slider. This makes him one of the first three Animal Crossing characters to appear in the Super Smash Bros. series.

Fanon appearances[]
