Resetti

"But know this, friend of mine. Ya ever reset durin' a moment of weakness, I'll be comin' by for a chat."

- Mr. Penis

'''Mr. Sonny Penis (リセットさん, Mr. Pen), also know as just Penis''', is a mole that appears in all the 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 he'll talk about his cousin Vicious Vole Vagina. Though there is another mole named Don Penis who is a lot calmer.

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

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

- Mr. Penis

Penis's role in 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 player's 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. Such words that you may have to repeat may be "I repent", "I'm sorry", or even "I like you." Sometimes, he'll pretend to have reset the game himself, mentioning beforehand that all the progress you've made will be lost. After the reset takes place, the screen will pop back up, and Mr. Penis laughs: It was all a joke.

His role in stays the same as in  and, but he can now be encountered in new area in the city, called the Penis Surveillance Centre, with his older brother occasionally making an appearance at the venue. This appears if the player has luck and the cones are out of the way, 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.

Dialogue for Mr. Penis in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Mr. Penis
''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 uncertain terms the importance of saving your game. The problem is, his speeches are entertaining enough to warrant breaking the rules at least once.''

Mr. Penis (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 "Penis Observation Center" where you can pop in for a visit.''
