He has appeared in every installment in the ''Animal Crossing'' series, with the exception of {{DnM}}, as well as {{AM}}. His name is a portmanteau of 'tortoise' and the human name 'Mortimer'. |

− | + | During town [[events]], Tortimer can often be found outside celebrating, and will give away holiday-specific items on certain days. Players can only obtain one holiday-specific item from Tortimer per player, which means even if the same player talks to Tortimer next year on the same event, the player won't be able to receive another special item of that day (for example, the player cannot obtain another Cornucopia from Tortimer on next year's Harvest Festival if already received on that day). In {{NL}}, Tortimer has retired from the role of mayor and now lives on [[Tortimer Island]] where he works as a tour guide. | |

He talks about being an expert gardener and once had a wife, Mrs. Tortimer, though she is believed to have died tragically. Some [[villager]]s 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 ''City Folk'', his shell might be fake. |

+ | Tortimer, after being absent in {{DnM}}, is introduced in {{PG}}, {{DnM|nolink}}'s enhanced GameCube port. He is first introduced on the first day the [[Player]] moves to town, walking around the [[Wishing Well]], and is required to be spoken to alongside the rest of the [[Villager|Townsfolk]]. Tortimer appears a very old tortoise and is the mayor of the player's town. At any events, like the [[Flower fest|Flower Festival]], he will stand outside the town hall to explain the event, as well as a gift to commemorate the occasion. These include sparklers during the [[Fireworks Show]], a Pink Tree Model during the [[Cherry Blossom Festival]], or a party popper for [[New Year's Eve]]. The events he appears at are spread out at all different times of the year. In {{DnMe+}}, Tortimer appears in the additional event Bonfire night. | ||

+ | Tortimer returns in {{WW}}, serving the same role as the previous installment, except he is now stationed at the newly-added [[Town Hall]], a replacement building for the [[Wishing Well]] in the previous game. As in {{PG|nolink}}, the player is required to speak with him at the start of the game, and afterwards 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]] if it is night). During the [[Acorn Festival]], Tortimer's alter-ego, [[Cornimer]], is introduced as the mascot of the aforementioned event. | ||

− | + | Tortimer's role is greatly revamped 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 "tours", 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 lawn mower that is bashed in the tour. His ego in previous games has also been greatly toned down. | |

+ | Tortimer is a tan, elderly tortoise that wears a black top hat with black, rounded glasses. While not wearing his hat, Tortimer is notably bald. His shell is a multicolored pattern shared with that of [[Kapp'n]], and also wears a bow tie on the front of his shell. His mouth and eyes have notable wrinkles in them. In the Japanese version of {{PG}}, Tortimer wears a red hat with blue lenses in his glasses. | ||

+ | In numerous games and other media, Tortimer seems to have a large ego, to the extent of having his own [[Wikipedia:Cult of Personality|cult of personality]]. This is most notably shown in {{AM}}, 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 ''City Folk'', with the slogan 'Mother Nature and Father MAYOR'. Despite this, Tortimer is also shown in the games to be somewhat greedy, as [[Cranky]] villagers 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. | ||
