Giuseppi Mezzoalto

Giuseppi Mezzoalto appears in several handheld versions of games from The Sims series, The Sims Bustin' Out for Gameboy Advance, The Urbz:Sims in the City for Gameboy Advance and Nintendo DS, The Sims 2 for Gameboy Advance and The Sims 2 for Nintendo DS.

The Sims Bustin' Out (handheld)
In The Sims Bustin' Out (handheld), he is the main antagonist. The sneaky dealer, Giuseppi Mezzoalto, sells at his van at night and might be someone to steer clear of. Occasionally, he will rob the player's Sim's house. In one mission, the player has to take a photo of him when he kidnaps Uncle Hayseed and threatens to kill him with a guillotine. If the player succeeds taking the picture of him(actually just talk to him only), Detective Dan D. Mann will appear and arrest him. After that, the player's Sim will not get robbed anymore.

The Urbz: Sims in the City (handheld)
In The Urbz: Sims in the City (handheld), Giuseppi has moved from SimValley, but he mentions that he is on parole. In the game's story, Giuseppi appears to work for the antagonist, Daddy Bigbucks and with Berkley Clodd, however it is later revealed that he had been working all along with the Detective Dan D. Mann since he had left SimValley.

The Sims 2 (GBA)
Giuseppi moved to Strangetown (however, no links are done with Miniopolis when it is still said that he moved from SimValley) and is described as the "shady guy".

If the player talks to him in "It All Begins," he will talk about breaking into the pawn shop, tell the player his name, then immediately say that he probably shouldn't have said that.

He works for Frankie Fusilli to look after Ara Fusilli during "Buried By the Mob," and the player has to find a way to distract him. He will often be seen lurking around the casino or in the town center.

In "A Brand New Scent," Giuseppi is seen talking about horses with Tristan Legend. Tristan had asked Giuseppi to clean out some stables for him in order to impress Kayliegh Wintercrest. The player will have to put manure in the stables in order to prevent this.

And finally during the mission, "A Very Special Reunion," the player will need to pay Frankie Fusilli 2000 simoleons in order to provide transportation for Giuseppi, Ara Fusilli, and Kayleigh Wintercrest to return to Strangetown.

The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)
He still resides in Strangetown, but no links are made with Miniopolis, and his only role in the story is to sell a Super Drencher to the player to scare off Emperor Xizzle.

He was replaced by Frankie Fusilli, Ava Cadavra, and Optimum Alfred as the main antagonist(s) in the game. The secret he will tell you if the player's Sim succeeds to be best friend with him is that "Giuseppi in the last game was a robot'", however it is unclear which game is mentioned.

Trivia

 * In The Urbz: Sims in the City for handheld, he does not remember the player's Sim, only saying that they "look familiar."
 * In The Urbz: Sims in the City for handheld, Giuseppi mentions he was raised with four brothers. Who these brothers are goes unanswered.
 * Since there are no connections made with him living in Miniopolis in the later games, it can be perceived that the Giuseppi in The Urbz: Sims in the City was the robot mentioned in his The Sims 2 DS secret.
 * In The Sims Bustin Out, there is a glitch involving the aftermath of the mission where Giuseppi robs Uncle Hayseed. When Giuseppi is arrested and put in jail, players can ask other Sims for errands which they may ask you to take an item to Giuseppi. This is render it impossible to complete or remove the item from your inventory because he will be locked in an inaccessable prison cell where you cannot enter. However, if the player waits long enough: Giuseppi may walk close enough to the front of his cell, allowing you to talk to him through the bars.
 * There is an unused episode in The Sims 2 (GBA) featuring Giuseppi called "Giuseppi Was Framed" and the description was: "Giuseppi is in jail, charged with a disastrous crime he claims he didn't commit. Can you find the guilty party and restore dignity to the city?" However, there is nothing left of this episode other than the title and the description.
