Animal Crossing: Wild World Hints XXXIII (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 from the Nintendo Gamecube version, in which the finished house only consisted of a basement, a main room and an attic. While paying off the debt, players can do a variety of optional tasks, including interacting with other villagers and filling the catalog of the things they 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

ACTIONS

Alternate inventory background

Find a pattern that you like on a shirt. Drag the shirt over the invisible space on the lower left corner of the touchscreen, and drop it there.

Alternately, go to the patterns section of your inventory. Choose a desired pattern, then drag it to a similar invisible space in the lower left corner of the touchscreen, and drop it there.

Set roof color

The color of the room on your first house is the same as the Nintendo DS menu color when you move into it. You can choose any color desired, by first changing the Nintendo DS menu color before moving in.

Set roof color without house upgrade

Once you get the Nookington's version of your local store, there will be an upper level. Tommy and Timmy will be up there to explain. Go to a wall where you can see a few wallpapers and floorings. At the end of the counter there will be a paint bucket. Tommy or Timmy will tell you that they will be able to paint it soon, if you decide to buy it. Each day, there is a new color.
