{{Nihongo|'''Rooney'''|マイク,|''Maiku''|Mike}} is a [[cranky]] [[kangaroo]] [[villager]] in {{NL}}. Along with [[Walt]], he is one of the first and only male kangaroos in the series. <br />
<br />
The name Rooney is play on "kanga'''roo'''," and also may be a reference to the boxer {{W|Kevin Rooney (boxer)|Kevin Rooney}}. Similarly, his Japanese name, "Mike", may be a reference to the boxer {{W|Mike Tyson}} (as featured in Nintendo's ''{{W|Punch-Out!!}}''). <br />
<br />
His catchphrase, "punches," is in reference to the "boxing" nature in which kangaroo jacks fight, and possibly the resulting Australian icon, "the boxing kangaroo".<br />
<br />
He has the fitness [[Hobbies (New Horizons)|hobby]].<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
[[File:Rooney NLWA.png|thumb|left|100px|Rooney in {{NL}}.]]<br />
Rooney is a light blue kangaroo. He has a black nose, downturned green eyes, and reddish brown hair and ears. His paws are red with a black stripe (possibly to represent boxing gloves), and his feet are black. His belly and the insides of his ears are yellow. He has eyebrows that are at an angle, making him look angry or annoyed. He initially wears a Black Track Jacket.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
{{pers|cranky}}<br />
Cranky villagers will usually appear in a grouchy or agitated mood. When talking to the [[player]], cranky villagers tend to become angry if the player disagrees with them or refuses to do a favor. Like all cranky villagers, Rooney will be invested in his [[Hobbies (New Horizons)|hobby]] and will often challenge the player to various competitions. He will easily get along with [[jock]], [[snooty]], and other [[cranky]] villagers, and occasionally [[lazy]] and [[normal]] villagers as well. However, he will find it hard to socialize with [[peppy]] villagers, as they will seem overstimulated or immature.<br />
<br />
==House==<br />
Rooney's house is heavily based on a boxing gym. In {{NL|nolink}}, he has a sandbag, a speed bag and a neutral corner, adding to the boxing theme. He also owns standard gym equipment, such as a treadmill, a weight bench, an exercise bike, and a butterfly machine. Rooney also has a [[Stereo|Cassette Player]] that plays ''[[K.K. Adventure]]''. His wallpaper is the Shanty Wall and his flooring is the Modern Tile.<br />
