Animal Crossing

[GameShark Codes] [FAQ's]

Hints & Tips

Mr. Resetti
Reset the Gamecube while playing. Start the game once again and Mr. Resetti will appear to complain. Redo this to make him more angry.

Change item screen background
Obtain the piece of clothing you want as the background in your inventory. Grab it and drag it to the lower right space. From there, drag it one space down into a blank space, press A, and you will have altered the background.

Easy items
One of the best ways to acquire new items that you cannot buy is to do work for the residents, and do it often. Do their little chores and they will (more often than not) reward you with things that are hard to come by in Nook's store.

Talk to people whenever you are near them. Sometimes they will ask you if you want to take a table or some clothes or other things off their hands. Also, do errands for people a lot. If there are no errands available you will only have to wait ten minutes.

Getting NES games
Talk to the townspeople until they ask you when your birthday is. Most of them will say something similar to "How would you like a train set for your birthday?" Answer "Yes" and you will put in your birthday. On your birthday, one of the townsfolk will be outside your house. He or she will present you with a NES. For example, Virgos will receive Donkey Kong.

Easy money

When bees appear from trees, take out your butterfly net and face the beehive. If you can catch a bee, you can sell it for $4500.

Place orange furniture to the north, green furniture to the south, yellow furniture to the west, and red furniture to the east part of your house.

Every New Year your parents give you 10,000 bells. Change the system date on the Gamecube or in the Animal Crossing options and switch the date to the new year. Check the mail box and you will have 10,000 bells from your parents. Redo the process, but change the year.

Dig for fossils each time you play. When the museum fills up with fossils, you can make a mint at Nook's or trade with residents for good items with fossils. Skulls of dinosaurs seem to be worth the most, nornally bringing in 4,000 to 6,000.

Play the Stalk Market. Turnips do not seem like that much of a commodity, but its gold in the game. You can make a fortune purchasing Turnips and selling them at the right price.

Note: This trick needs a Game Boy Advance and a link cable. Play the game with the Game Boy Advance attached. Gather as much fruit as you can and travel all the way to the south. Go to the pier at the beach. A Kappa will be there and will to bring you to a new island to the south. Get to the new island and drop all of your fruit. Go back to the Kappa and leave. Transfer the island to the Game Boy Advance. On the Game Boy Advance, knock on the door to the house of the island animal. After it appears, move a piece of fruit in front of the animal. It will eat it and become happy. Keep redoingg this until the animal drops money bags. Feed all your fruit to the animal, then put your Game Boy Advance on standby. Resume playing on the Gamecube. Go back to town, then return and talk to the Kappa again. Your game will now be updated with the Game Boy Advance info. Travel back to the island and collect the money bags.

Go around town with your shovel and hit every rock you can locate. One of them should turn red when you hit it. Keep hitting it to get more money.

Note: This trick need's three memory cards, game A, game B, travel data, and plenty of Turnips. Spend the entire week saving up as much Bell as possible on Game A. On Sunday, find Joan and purchase as many turnips as you can afford. Save your travel data on slot 2, then travel to Game B. Find out how much Tom is buying Turnips for. If he is not asking enough, save, then set the clock to the next day and ask once again. Wait until a day when Tom is buying above 1000 Bell, but do not set the clock more than a week ahead or the Turnips will spoil. Sell all your Turnips for the profit. Save and take the money back to Game A. Use the money to buy more turnips. Go back and sell them once again. Because you are saving the travel data, it does not matter that the days do not match up. You can make over 30,000,000 Bell doing this.

Duplicate money and items
This trick need's two Game Boy Advances and a link cable. Connect Game Boy Advance #1 to the Gamecube using your link cable and turn it on. Proceed to your island (located on the dock at the edge of the ocean). When you finally get to the island, drop off the item or money that you wish to copy. Leave the island. When Kapp'n asks if you want to save your island to your Game Boy Advance, select "Yes". After it is done downloading to your Game Boy Advance, you can put it in sleep mode, disconnect it. When you get back to your town, attach Game Boy Advance #2 and turn it on. Leave that screen then immediately return to it. Talk to Kapp'n to go back to your island. After you start leaving you can turn Game Boy Advance #2 off. When you get to your island, pick up the item that you left there then leave the island again. This time when Kapp'n asks you to save your island to your Game Boy Advance, answer "No". When you get back to your town, disconnect Game Boy Advance #2 and connect Game Boy Advance #1 (make sure it is not in sleep mode). Leave the screen and return. Talk to Kapp'n once more. Your island should upload from your Game Boy Advance. When you get to your island, your item will be there again and you will already have it in your pockets. Pick up your item from the ground. You now have two of them. This will also work with multiple items.

Golden Fishing Pole
Catch all 40 types of fish. Note: There can be more or less.

Golden Shovel
First, purchase two shovels. Find a piece of glowing earth and dig it up. Then, plant a shovel in the glowing earth.

Growing a money tree
First, locaste a glowing piece of earth. Dig it up and you get a money bag. Plant the money bag in the glowing hole and a seedling will sprout, which will grow in to a money tree.

For a super money try getting 30,000 Bells. Locate a glowing spot and enter the item screen. Get the cursor and click on your amount of Bells. Choose 30,000, take it out, and plant it in the glowing spot. In a couple days it will be fully grown and have three bags of 30,000 Bells.

Golden Axe
Get your town rating to be "Perfect" for two whole weeks. The Golden Axe is indestructible.

Golden Butterfly Net
Catch all 40 types of bugs.

Whisp
Every night between 12 and 4, there is a ghost somewhere in town. You cannot see him until you will step where he is standing. He will ask you to catch five ghouls for him before 4 o'clock. If you do, you can get a prize, roof painting, or he will remove all the weeds in your town.

Pitfall
This item is used to trick your friends that also live in your village. To use it, dig a hole with a shovel, and then bury the Pitfall. Whenever your friend moves around in the village and runs over it, they will fall in the hole. However, if your friend sees that there is an item there, they can also dig it up and preform the same trick on you. Place this behind houses and trees where shortcuts are usually taken to raise the chance that your friend will fall in. Once someone falls in, the Pitfall is used and cannot be reused until found again.

Hear every song
Make sure you cannot carry anymore items when Totakeke gets to town on Saturday nights. Talk to him and he will play a song. Afterwards, he will notice that you do not have room for the Aircheck. He will tell you to return later. Talk to him once again, and he will play a different song. Repeat this until you have heard a song that you like, then drop an item. Talk to him again and request the song you liked.

Fishing
If you are not catching the fish you want to catch, move to another section of the map and fish there. Some fish are only found in peticular areas.

When fishing, do not actually reel in the fish (press A) until you see the bobber go under the water.

Fish at the ocean in the rain. You have a much betterchance of catching the Coelacanth. They sell for 15,000 Bells a fish. Also, you have a better chance of catching the Barred Knifejaw and Red Snapper. They sell for 5,000 Bells and 3,000 Bells respectively. Generally, fishing in the rain is much easier, but in the ocean, for easy money. Also, its easier to fish at night.

When it is raining, you have better chance of catching a fish worth 15,000 Bells.

Skip time
When the Gamecube logo appears, hold A + B to get to the memory card screen. You can change the system clock to whatever time you desire. Begin the game and you should start at that day.

The game allows you to change the setting before you load it when starting. When it asks "Are you ready?", the options are "Yes" and "Before I go". Select "Before I go" and it will allow you to change the game's time without changing with the system clock (which also effects other Gamecube games that rely on it) Also, if you have bought turnips to sell them in the Stalk Market and change the system clock or the game time, they may spoil. It depends on the amount of time the game remembers.

Note: Play a little every day. While you can reset the game's clock and go to Nook's store, this does get old. Also, resetting the clock disrupts timed events that you do not know about. The game is filled with events that depend on month, day, and hour. It is better to just play the game as it comes about. You will get more furniture, carpet, etc. this way. When you change the time, it disrupts the chain of events permanently and you may end up actually obtaining less new things then you would if you just played the game as it was meant to be played.

Angry people
Another way to anger the residents of the town is to push them around by walking into them, or hitting them with your bug net repetitively.

Get more than one song per Saturday
This trick need's at least two memory cards. Have two towns saved, one on each card. At 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, get a song from Totakeke, then go to the other town and get one there. If youlike repeatedly delete the second town, make a new one on the second card, and get a new song every time.

Upgrade to a larger house
Pay off all your debt to Nook then talk to him. He will thank you for paying it off then ask if you want a bigger house. Answer "Yes" and he will tell you to wait one day. Your house will now be bigger.

Talking to people
When you are talking to residents, talk to the same person continually. Talking to them too much will upset them. However, in a few minutes they will get over it. By doing this, they will reveal more of the workings of Animal Crossing to you. You also stand a better chance of playing a game, getting free items, or trading things with them.
