Harvest Moon DS Glitches (DS)

Harvest Moon DS is the first game in the farm simulation series developed by Marvelous Interactive and published by Nintendo exclusively for the DS handheld consoles. The game was released in Japan on the 17th of March 2005, the 12th of September 2006 in the United States, the 13th of April 2007 in Europe and the 7th of June in Australia.

An interesting twist to the game is brought by the fact that the player can also get married if he is able to find 60 Harvest Sprites. Of course, none of the things you have to do in the game is easy and, unfortunately, there are numerous glitches. Here is a list of them - you can use these glitches to your own advantage:

GLITCHES

Leave the screen
Get on your horse. Go to a place where there are two walls on each side near the transition area (for example, the entrance to the beach). Get as close as you can to the edge of the screen without going to the next area. Have your horse touch and face the right wall. Get off the horse. You will be off the screen but still able to move left and right. To exit, just move back towards your horse. You will instantly move to the area you were near.

Buckwheat Flour
During the New Year’s Festival, most games receive Buckwheat Noodles instead of the flour. This will then make your cooking list and shipment list incomplete, ruining the chance to marry the Harvest Goddess.

Animal Deaths do not count
In order to trigger the Witches Purple Heart event you will need to have killed fifty of your own animals. However the game does not count them correctly, so the "death toll" will never reach 50, ruining your chances of marrying the witch.

Milker level goes up faster
After your milker reaches level 1, every time you use it afterwards it goes up another level. This is useful for getting level 99 for your milker, which means every time you milk a cow you will get 99 bottles of milk.

Brushing increases milk and wool levels
Brush your horse. Switch your brush to the milker while the brush is still moving. You will get a level 2 milk. If you equip your shears while the brush is still moving you will get a level 2 wool.

Easy milk and wool
Brush an animal (any except for dog, chicken, cat, or duck) with the Touch Gloves and then tap "Back" and quickly switch the brush with the milker or wool cutter. You will get milk or wool. This works better if you upgrade your milker to level 99.

Unlimited life in mines
When in the in the mines, if you fall in the hole and it drops you a large amount (100 or more), just before you die drink a Bodigizer (by switching the Bodigizer to the slot very quickly). Note: If you put the Bodigizer in the slot next to the green slot it helps for quick access.

Leia gets blown away
If you marry Leia she will live in your pond outside. However, your pond can still be blown away due to a storm. If this happens Leia will disappear permanently, even if you re-build the pond. This can really affect your chances of having a baby.
