Bee Courageous
You've done it before -- you've shaken a couple of trees to find some cash, and
out comes a whole swarm of bees and does a "remodeling" job on your
face... Painful. But did you know that you can actually catch the bees and make
some money? It's a bit tricky as the bees move fast, but after you've shaken a
tree and a bee's hive has fallen out, immediately switch to the butterfly net
and turn towards the hive. Time it right and hit the button and you will catch a
single bee, worth 4,500 bucks. Not bad, huh? There are three swarms of bees
hidden on the map every day, so you can make some big bucks if you go bee
hunting.
Fuusui Mysteries
Are you familiar with the ancient art of Fuusui (Feng-Shui)? Who would have
guessed that it even applies to Nintendo's Animal Forest +? It's all about how
you arrange your furniture in your house.
Orange colored furniture in the North
Yellow furniture in the West
Red furniture in the East
Green furniture in the South
What does this do? For example, the yellow furniture increases the amount of
money you receive. The other colors have similar benefits, so be sure to follow
this basic rule when constructing your house.
Get Rich Quick with your GBA
If you've got a GBA and the GameCube Link Cable, you can access an island to the
south of Animal Forest + that lets you make money much more quickly. Collect as
many pieces of fruit as you can carry, hook up your GBA, turn it on, and then go
to the pier at the beach (all the way in the south). A Kappa will be waiting
here in his boat (he only shows up if your GBA is switched on) and take you to
the island. Once you're on the island, drop all the fruit you have collected and
go back to the boat. Tell the Kappa that you want to leave and that you want to
transfer the island to your GBA. Your GBA will turn on and you will have see
your island, complete with all the fruit you have dropped. Move your hand to the
door of your island animal's house and knock. Your animal will come out. Now
grab a piece of fruit and put it right in front of your animal. It will eat the
fruit and turn happy. After a few pieces of fruit your animal will drop a money
bag of random size for each fruit you feed to your little virtual pet. Repeat
this process until all pieces of fruit are gone (you can also direct your pet to
shake trees to get more fruit), then put your GBA to sleep. Do NOT switch it
off.
Go back to the GameCube game. Once back in your town, leave the screen with the
boat and come back. Talk to the Kappa again and the GCN game will be updated
with the new data from the GBA island. Travel back to the island and collect all
the money bags. Some bags contain as much as 30,000 coins! You should be able to
pay off your house in no time now.
Grow a Money Tree
Did you know that besides growing fruit trees, you can also grow money trees?
Yep, no joke. However, you can't just grow them anywhere. Find a sparkly glowing
spot on the ground (the type that hints at a hidden treasure) and use the shovel
to unearth the money bag. Instead of just pocketing the money and closing the
hole, stand in front of it, go into your inventory and select the money bag. Now
choose the "plant item in ground" option that you also use to sow
seeds or fruit and put the bag back into the sparkly spot in the ground. A
seedling will sprout, which will grow into a money-bearing tree. Nice, huh?
Note: that planting a money bag just anywhere will not
produce a money tree. It has to be planted in the sparkly special spot.
Reset Follies
Don't ever hit the reset switch when playing this game. If you do, the next time
you play you will be chastized by Mr. Reset, an angry mole. He will lecture you
on how there is no reset button in real life -- so you shouldn't use it in this
game either. Mr. Reset's rant takes quite a while to get through, but that's
nothing compared to what happens when you hit reset again... His complaints will
get longer and longer and he will even force you to apologize (which requires
you to manually enter your apology via the letter entry wheels). Not fun. So
stay away from the reset switch unless you understand Japanese and want to read
some funny stuff.
Win Famicom Games
Animal Forest + features an even bigger variety of Famicom (NES) games than its
N64 counterpart. You have to be lucky to get your hands on them though. There
are several ways to get new games:
Be the first. The first player to start a character on the included Animal
Forest + Memory Card 59 will receive a letter from NCL boss Hiroshi Yamauchi
after all initial chores are done. The letter includes a grab bag with three
items, two of which are Famicom games.
Enter the monthly lottery at the Tanuki Store on the last day of the month. You
get a lottery ticket for every major purchase you make at the store (stationary
and plants don't count). Every five tickets let you play in the lottery once, so
be sure to collect a bunch of them. Note that lottery tickets don't carry over
to the next month. They're only good for the current month. Prizes in the
lottery vary from month to month, so don't give up if you don't find any NES
games the first time you enter the lottery.
Check your mailbox on Christmas Eve. Every player gets an NES game as a
Christmas present.
Get a game for your birthday. Don't only ask animals if you can run chores for
them -- use the second "conversation" option as well. At one point,
one of your animals will ask you for your birthday and blood type. This animal
will drop by your house on your birthday and personally deliver a new Famicom
game.
There are other ways to get your hands on emulated classics, so keep your eyes
and ears open.
