Player

"No more debt for me!! My house is all paid off!!!!"

- A player paying off their mortgage





The Player is a term used for the human character in the that is controlled by a human or the "real-life" person playing the game. The player may be either a boy or a girl; the differences in all games are largely cosmetic and with slight variations to some dialogue whenever the conversation becomes gender specific.

Overview
Players, like the main villagers, are short and stubby and fat. The largely-physical differences may become blurred even further due to the fact that Harriet will allow the player to get haircuts of the other gender if one has had all hairstyles of their gender from her. Kicks will also allow the player to wear shoes of the opposite gender after enough shoe shines have been bought. There are several unalterable differences, however.

In City Folk, the female character will always wear a dress, while the male character will always wear shorts, and the female character's default hat is a cone-shaped "princess cap", while the male character's resembles a spiked Viking helmet. These hats are used in as the only hairstyle or head wear.

Even though they are not the only humans, they are the only human children as it is assumed Mom and Dad, who send letters occasionally, are also human in appearance. Players will always have an in-game "Mom" and in spite of Mom referring to childhood events and the home that the player once lived in, there is no indication of any real sense of back story to the human character(s) and occasionally sends presents in the mail.

Only one human from each town may be active at any given time, although in and, visiting players from other games could be in town at the same time.

Appearances
In each game, the player's face is determined by a series of questions that the introductory character asks.

In Wild World
Kapp'n asks you three questions that determine how your character will look like. The questions are as follows:
 * Do you like the rain?
 * No.
 * Yes.
 * Why are you going there?
 * I'm moving.
 * None of your business.
 * Do you have any money?
 * No.
 * Yes.

The questions and answers are worded differently. Though, you still get the same face even so. The way your face is arranged can be determined when you answer them in a certain way.

This is how you get a different face every time.

 * In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, one of the microgames involves the player taking control of a character, its gender corresponding to that of the controller's. The player must pull the Wii Remote up at the correct time to catch a fish.
 * In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a number of human characters appear in the background of Smashville. Both the male and the female humans are available as stickers, while the male character is available as a trophy which is simply named "Boy."
