Rover makes his debut in {{DnM}} and {{PG}}, serving to set up the game for the first time. In his first appearance, Rover meets the player on the [[train]], when he approaches the player asking if he has the correct date and time, before asking if he can sit adjacent to them, promising that he isn't crazy. Regardless of whether the player rejects him or not, he will sit in the row across from the player and drums up conversation by asking questions to determine the gender and appearance, as well as asking where the player is going, and setting up a house for them to stay in by talking with his friend, [[Tom Nook]]. Soon after this, the train arrives at the player's town.

Rover is a special character in the Animal Crossing series. His job varies in each game, but his primary job is to set up the playable character. He is a blue and white cat with red irises and blue pupils in his eyes. His name likely comes from roving, meaning "to travel without a set destination," which reflects his role in the games.

Appearances

In Animal Crossing

Rover talking to the player on the train in Animal Crossing.

Rover makes his debut in Doubutsu no Mori and Animal Crossing, serving to set up the game for the first time. In his first appearance, Rover meets the player on the train, when he approaches the player asking if he has the correct date and time, before asking if he can sit adjacent to them, promising that he isn't crazy. Regardless of whether the player rejects him or not, he will sit in the row across from the player and drums up conversation by asking questions to determine the gender and appearance, as well as asking where the player is going, and setting up a house for them to stay in by talking with his friend, Tom Nook. Soon after this, the train arrives at the player's town.

The player can also meet Rover again when traveling to another town, though he will not ask questions to the player.

In Wild World

Rover appearing after the player selects Tag Mode from the title screen.

Rover makes a minor appearance in Animal Crossing: Wild World. He can occasionally be found drinking coffee at The Roost on any day from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM. He also begins Tag Mode for the player, appearing when the player selects the option from the title screen.

In City Folk

Artwork of Rover from Animal Crossing: City Folk.

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, Rover returns to his previous role from Animal Crossing, by setting up the player for the first time they play. He meets the player on the bus driven by Kapp'n and asks questions to determine the gender and town name of the player. Rover also appears whenever the game is booted up, asking if the time and date is correct and who is going to be playing the game out of four saved players, as well giving access to options.

Rover also turns on WiiConnect24, as well as other options, such as audio options, by calling him with the phone in the player's attic. He sometimes appears in The Roost, talking about his travels.

In New Leaf

Artwork of Rover from Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Rover yet again sets up the player similarly to previous games. He meets the player on the train before it pulls into town, similar to the original Animal Crossing. Yet, when the player starts the game thereafter, Isabelle greets them, not Rover.

In New Horizons

Rover talking to the player on the May Day Tour in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

While initially absent from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Rover was added in the 1.2.0 April Free Update alongside May Day, an event that runs from April 29 to May 7. He is invited by Tom Nook to celebrate May Day, and he can be found at the goal of the May Day Tour. If the player reaches him, he will congratulate them and give them a prize: Rover's Briefcase or Rover's Photo.

Rover's Poster can be obtained from Nook Shopping after inviting Rover to Photopia via his amiibo.

In Happy Home Designer

Rover appears in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer and is only available his amiibo is scanned. In this game, it is hinted that he has a crush on Katrina. Most of his furniture is train-themed, owing to his like of trains and traveling.

In Pocket Camp

Artwork of Rover from Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

In Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Rover hosts the Garden Safari event, when the player can plant seasonal flowers and catch rare butterflies near them. For the captured butterflies, players will get rewards, including Rover-style furniture. Players can also share butterflies with other players.

Other appearances

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

Rover appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

Rover

Description NTSC-U: This kitty is very outgoing, always looking to meet and learn about new people. He'll ask you all sorts of questions the first time you meet. Hopefully you don't respond with random nonsense, since you'll be stuck with your answers. Who wants to live in a town called "AAAAAAA," anyway?

PAL: Always thrilled to meet new people on the move, he'll ask you your name and where you're moving to. Don't just answer with random nonsense, though. After all, you'll be stuck with the answers you give, and who wants to live in a town called "AAAAAAAA"?!

    Trivia

    • While beginning a new game in New Leaf, Rover says that he "hasn't done this much traveling by train since 2002 or so," a reference to the North American release date of the original Animal Crossing, which is the only other game outside of Japan in which Rover is met on a train. This only appears in the English version of the game.
    • If the player continues talking with Rover after completing the May Day Tour in New Horizons, he may say that he isn't really used to travel by plane, being more fascinated by trains — a reference to his original role in the original Animal Crossing and New Leaf.
