Animal Crossing: Wild World Hints LXXII (DS)

Animal Crossing: Wild World features a very minimal plot. The objective of the game is to pay off a debt to Tom Nook, who allows the player to move into a house he owns. If the mortgage is paid off, the player's house will expand until upstairs, left, right, center and back rooms are included. This is slightly different to the Nintendo GameCube version, in which the finished house only consisted of a basement, a main room and an attic. While paying off a debt, the player can do a variety of optional tasks, including interacting with other villagers and filling the catalog of the things you have, like furniture, fish, clothes and stationary. 

Animal Crossing: Wild World makes use of several of the Nintendo DS' features, including the touch screen, dual screens and internal clock. The touch screen is used for menu navigation and interacting with the surrounding area, including movement, using tools, talking to other villagers, entering buildings, picking up items, etc. The dual screens are used to display the overworld on the touch screen and the sky on the top screen, which varies depending on the circumstances.

Kiki's Delivery Service 

There is a reference to the Studio Ghibli anime film Kiki's Delivery Service. One of the random characters in Animal Crossing is a cat called Kiki. In Kiki's Delivery Service, Kiki has a cat called Jiji (or Gigi). This is an indirect reference, but the cat does bear some similarities with Jiji.

Tortimer 

Go to the Post Office and talk to Pelly at the Civics part. If you look at the background, you can see a bit of Tortimer's face behind a counter.

Gamecube 

Buy the Pink Box. On the top shelf of the box is an Indigo Gamecube with a controller. There are a few Gamecube games on the bottom shelf.
