K.K. Slider (とたけけ, Totakeke) is a character in the Animal Crossing series of video games. He is a musician who plays music in the coffee shop (in Animal Crossing: Wild World) or the Train Station (in the original game) every Saturday night, from 8:00 PM to midnight. He will then give the players a CD of the song he played.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, K.K. Slider appears as a trophy with the title "Totakeke," his Japanese name. As Animal Crossing had not yet been released in America at the time of Melee's release, his American trophy puts his home game as "Future Release".

Trophy description

Totakeke

A wandering musician whose daily life is a bit of a mystery. He plays in front of the train station every Saturday night starting at 8:00 p.m.. He has a large repertoire and plays both old and new hits from all over the world. His music is so ingrained in the villagers, it's impossible to imagine them living without it.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, in addition to being a trophy and a sticker, K.K. Slider cameos on the Smashville stage, where he plays one of his songs when the stage is played at 8:00 PM on a Saturday night, true to his role in the Animal Crossing games. His voice can be heard in many of these arrangements on the Smashville stage, namely:

Bolded tracks are only played during concerts; the other two can be chosen from My Music.

Although K.K. Slider only plays from 8:00-Midnight on Saturday nights, K.K. Slider can be seen preparing for his performance earlier than 8. Additionally, while Animal Crossing Villagers usually pay full attention to the fight, if K.K. Slider is performing, the villagers' attention will be focused on him instead.

Event 26: The Slow and Easy Life is a special exception, and will always be set during a performance of Rockin' K.K. regardless of the actual time of day.

A wandering musician. He plays concerts every Saturday night at the Roost in the basement of the museum. All he carries is a single acoustic guitar, but he can play music from all genres. You can request a single tune per concert, and afterward he'll give you a recording of the song to take home. In Animal Crossing: Wild World, his playlist included 70 songs.

K.K. Slider is a trophy in both versions, with different designs. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, K.K. Slider reprises his role on the Smashville stage. He also has a similar role on the Town and City stage, playing music in the background at 8pm on Saturdays. On the Town and City stage, he only appears in the background while in the Town section. In the City section, the music will continue, but K.K. is unseen.

K.K. Slider is also the basis of a free downloadable content costume for Mii Gunners.
