Animal Crossing: Wild World Hints XXV (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.

HINTS

MONEY

Plants

At 12:30 on any day, walk along the beach shore and look for fruit. Any fruit you find along the shore is worth 500 Bells.

To get more money for fruit, go to your friend's town. You will get 500 Bells, instead of only 100.

Go to an online friend's town. Pick their fruit and plant it in your town. You can make more money from it when it grows.

When Joan, the turnip peddler, comes to your town (every Sunday morning), ask her if she has Red Turnips. If she sells them to you, plant them immediately. Water them every day for a week, and dig them up on Saturday. They will sell at Nook's shop for 16,000 Bells.

Go to a friend's town and pick their fruit and grow it in your town. Dig out a weed, and plant it there, or chop down a tree and it will grow from 50% to 100%. If you plant it when it is crowded, it will only grow to be a short (tiny) tree. You can sell the fruit to Tom Nook for 500 Bells each.

Whenever you get a fruit you do not have in your town, plant it. After you have planted it, water it. This even works on coconuts that you find on the beach, but they need to be watered more.
