Animal Crossing
Applauding people
If a villager is facing you when you catch a fish, he or she will start clapping.Alternate opening sequence
Watch the opining sequence three times. A different voice will say "Nintendo". It is even more different during the fourth time.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 wish. Begin the game and you should start at that day.The game allows you to change the setting before you load it when beginning. 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 go bad. It depends on the amount of time -- the game remembers.
Play a little every day. While you can reset the game's clock and go to Nook's store, this gets 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 unfolds. 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 getting less new things then you would if you just played the game as it was supposed to be played.
Disappearing flippers in NES Pinball
When you score over 100,000 points in the NES game Pinball, your flippers will disappear. However, after you break the 150,000 point mark they will reappear.Trip to nowhere
Have a second memory card in slot B with no town data in it. Three memory blocks will be used to create travel data and you will get on the train. You will instantly return to the starting screen. When you start the game again, you will get off the train as if you had just started the game.Animal personalities
If you have two animals in your town that have the same personality, sometimes they will say the same thing as the other one in town. For example, if your cow says "Moo La La" after every sentence, a kangaroo with the same personality will also start to say "Moo La La".Gyroid face
If you want your character to have no facial expressions, for example, a face like the Gyroid next to your house, put all your money/items in your house. Travel to another town and once you get there, reset. If you did not deposit your money/items in your house before doing this, you will lose them. When you reload the game, you will get a message that says "You were traveling. All money and items will be lost. Do you want to go to town anyway?" Answer "Sure!". When you reload, your character will have the face like a Gyroid.Get more than one of K.K. Slider's songs
On Saturday from 8:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., visit another town and get a song from K.K. Slider. Leave that town, then repeat the process. You can over 30 songs in one night.Secret K.K. Slider songs
There are four secret songs that Totakeke will not play unless you request them. They are: I Love You, K.K. Song, Two Days Ago, and Only Me.Second house
This trick requires a Game Boy Advance and a link cable. Turn on the Game Boy Advance, then talk to Kappn. Go to the island. There are two houses there. In one of the houses lives the island native. The other house is empty. Drop your stuff inside and acts as like a second house. The second house is as big as the basement or second upgrade of your normal house.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 then be bigger.After you have enlarged your house the first time and pay that off, Tom Nook will ask if you want a basement or if you want to enlarge your house again. Choose the basement because it is a lot cheaper to pay off than the 380,000 bells for enlarging your home. You will then have a big basement to store your items in that the HR does not score you on. After paying that off, choose to enlarge your house and pay off the 380,000 bells.
Store more items in your house
If your house cannot hold any more items and your Gyroid is also full, save the old letters you receive from the Museum, HRA, Mom, etc. Then, take the items you do not want to lose and attach them to the old letters. Then, go to the Post Office and select "Save A Letter." The game will actually be saving the item you did not want to lose (the Harvest Moon, the Autumn Medal, etc.) There are over 100 places to save a letter.Talking to people
When you are talking to residents, talk the same person repeatedly. 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 much greater chance of playing a game, getting free items, or trading things with them.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 repeatedly.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 so, 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 use the same trick on you. Place this behind houses and trees where shortcuts are usually taken to increase the chance that your friend will fall in. Once someone falls in, the Pitfall is used and cannot be reused until found again.Umbrella
To get a free Umbrella, design a pattern. Go to your patterns then select "Use" on the pattern you created. Select "Use On Umbrella" and your character will magically have an umbrella in his or her hand. It disappears if you take it off.Enter Lighthouse
Catch five Giant Beetles and sell all of them to Tom Nook at once. He will say something similar to "Sorry, I don't have any money in the register, would you like to have this?" and you will receive the Silver Seed. Plant the Silver Seed, and when its matures it will grow a Silver Tree with a key on it. Shake the tree and get the key. On March 27th (change the game date to this if desired), take the key to the lighthouse. Face the back of the lighthouse and press A. A menu will appear. Highlight the key, the door will open, and you will enter. Inside are many NES games and bags of Bells. The key disappears after one use. You must repeat the process if you want them 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 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 enjoyed.Get more than one song per Saturday
This trick requires 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 desired, repeatedly delete the second town, make a new one on the second card, and get a new song each time.Golden Butterfly Net
Catch all 40 types of bugs.Golden Fishing Pole
Catch all 40 types of fish. There may be more or less.Golden Shovel
First, buy two shovels. Find a piece of glowing earth and dig it up. Then, plant a shovel in the glowing earth.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 certain 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 greater chance of catching the Coelacanth. They sell for 15,000 Bells a fish. Also, you have a greater 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.
Furniture
On different days, you can find a bird washed up on shore, unconscious on the beach. Talk to him and he will give you a piece of furniture you can find anywhere.On the fourth Thursday in November, at 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Tortimer invites a turkey to town to be the main course. The turkey appears, and he will ask you to steal a pair of knives and forks. You must go to the wishing well and steal the pair of cutlery. You must give them back to him, and the villagers who are not at the feast will give you hints as to where he is located. For example, if they say "I saw this strange guy in Acre C, you'd better go check it out", search every acre in the row of Acre C. You can steal the knife and fork as many times as desired, and get as much Harvest Series Furniture as needed.
Duplicate money and items
This trick requires two Game Boy Advances and a link cable. Connect Game Boy Advance #1 to the Gamecube using your link cable and turn it on. Go 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 duplicate. 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, and set it aside. 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.Easy items
One of the best ways to get 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 often. 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 get Donkey Kong.Growing a money tree
First, find 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, get 30,000 Bells. Find 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 full grown and have three bags of 30,000 Bells.
Golden Axe
Get your town rating to be "Perfect" for two entire weeks. The Golden Axe is indestructible.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.
This trick requires a Game Boy Advance and a link cable. Play the game with the Game Boy Advance attached. Collect as much fruit as possible and travel all the way to the south. Go 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. Return 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 repeating this until the animal drops money bags. Feed all your fruit to the animal, then put your Game Boy Advance on standby. Resume the game 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 data. Travel back to the island and collect the money bags.
Go around town with your shovel and hit every rock you can find. One of them should turn red when you hit it. Keep hitting it to get more money.
Every New Year your parents give you 10,000 bells. Change the system date on the Gamecube; or in the Animal Crossing options and change the date to the new year. Check the mail box and you will have 10,000 bells from your parents. Repeat the process, but change the year.
Dig for fossils every 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, usually 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 buying Turnips and selling them at the right price.
If you have at least 10,000 Bells, on Sunday Joan the turnip seller will at your town every from 6 a.m. to 12 noon. Buy 100 turnips as many times you can. The next day, go to Nook's store and sell them all. It is possible to get 73,600 Bells just for 100 turnips.
This trick requires three memory cards, game A, game B, travel data, and a lot of Turnips. Spend the entire week saving up as much Bell as you can on Game A. On Sunday, find Joan and buy 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 again. Wait until a day when Tom is buying for over 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 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.
Try to fish, dig Bells, and work for people until the evening, when you would barely get anything. Go to the Animal Crossing Menu and change the time back to 4:00 when the best fish and bugs appear. It is better if it rains. Then, change to one day ahead to make a lot of money. This is also a good way to pay off the debt to Tom Nook and buy furniture for your house. Make sure that you pull weeds that you see to stop them from growing. Use the shovel to stop weeds from growing from a location permanently. When your ready, put your time and day back. You will always get new mail and offers from Tom Nook. This is another good way to get your home and Tom Nook's shop remodeled. Whatever you did in those days like make the shop larger, and will stay the way it was when you visited the future. You should make about 50,000 Bells in about five hours while in the future.
Use the following trick to get easy money and a lot of fossils. Find three fossils and mail them to the Museum. On the day that they arrive back in the mail, open them and see what you get, as usual. If the museum needs it, give it to them. If not, sell it to Nook. Then, go back to your personal Gyroid Assistant and save the game. Reset the Gamecube with the cover open so the system menu appears. Set the date back one day, and start the game again. Check your mail, do whatever you want with the fossils, then save and restart the Gamecube again. Set the date back to the current day and restart the game. Do this until the museum is full, or you no longer want to continue with the trick. If you reset the game date by using the option the game provides (before you start your game), sometimes your fossils will not be sent to you in the mail and you will not find any for awhile. The game knows when you are cheating this way, and reflects this with less valuable items.
Take fruit from one town and sell it to Nook at another town. You will get paid five times as much for it. This only works if each town has different fruits.
