Resetti has a brother but in the GameCube title it was much less apparent unless you really loved resetting your game mr. Rosetti's brother Don resetti can be seen the fifth time the player resets Don acts notably calmer than his brother especially in city fool in both city folk and newly he can be seen at the resetti surveillance center number 11 there's a special NPC who only appears in Animal Crossing city folk for the week Serena the Chihuahua is the goddess of the fountain who initially appears in the form of a statue she comes to life when a player throws an axe into the middle of the fountain and proceeds to ask the player a series of questions in which she may give the player a silver or golden axe as pretty nice of her considering an axe was just thrown at her number 12 Serena's entire character references the fairy tale of the honnest woodsman which is about a man who dropped an axe into water he's offered both a golden axe and his plain axe and is asked which one is his when he answers honestly he is given both as a reward for not lying see honesty truly is the best policy number 13 Serena doesn't appear in new leaf but she is referenced while talking to a character with a peppy personality the player will sometimes be asked what kind of axe they'd want from a fountain goddess number 14 your loyal mayor assistant Isabelle is known as Chi zu in Japan this is a play on the dog breed that she resembles a shih tzu I still can't picture her being anything else other than a bell bag with arms and legs number 15 while Isabel and Digby don't have similar sounding names in North America it changes depending on where you play in Italy the two are known as foo and fofo while france calls them marie and max once again English follows no rules number 16 if you're an art buff spotting Reds counterfeit paintings is pretty easy work but if you aren't I guess it's time to look online it's worth mentioning that these paintings and statues are counterfeit of real world masterpieces so it bothers gives you the big NO just know that means you need to pay more attention to art history class in school some works of art don't have a counterfeit counterpart like the nice comment and flowery painting in new leaf so for its selling you should be buying those number 17 while Reds wonderful counterfeit works of art or indeed copies of real world works the actual names for each aren't present for example the Mona Lisa is referred to as a famous painting and the girl with a Pearl Earring is referred to as wistful painting number 18 like most of the characters in Animal Crossing cut their trunks name is a pun Shrunk is a psychologist with his name being a pun on shrink a popular slang term for mental health professionals like psychiatrists and psychologists number 19 dr. shrunken teach you a variety of emotional animations at club LOL hence the name in total dr. shrunken teach you thirty nine different emotional animations ranging from a sneeze to bursting out and laughter once doctor shrunk is finished with the emotions he teaches you a special dance which he refers to as a shrunk function a dancing doctor yes please number 20 if you ever use dr. shrinks emotions around another character there's a slight chance that they'll imitate your actions or react to them this applies to dancing as well which means that doing the shrunk funk Chapel will cause other characters to dance with you you'll never have to dance alone ever again number 21 dogs have always appeared as a species in Animal Crossing the villagers seem to be the same breed but with a few small differences Benjamin via biscuit bones cherry cookie Daisy Goldie Lucky Mac Maddy Marcel parsha Shep and Walker you name him however special dog characters like Serena Digby Isabelle Harriet and KK are clearly different breeds number 22 in new leaf Timmy and Tommy nook are introduced as Tom Noakes two young nephews who help run his shops oh it's dem elite Timmy and Tommy are also the names of the troublemaking twin boys in the cartoon Arthur if I ever have twins remind me not to name them to mean Tommy number 23 in different versions new leaf Timmy and Tommy have equally matching names depending on the adapted language this includes Marco and Mirko in Italian Tendo an endo in Spanish and in German the nukes are referred to as Knepper and schleppers both of which are words that refer to con men this is the nuts and nice implication about the little nooks number 24 according to their amiibo cards Timmy and Tommy were both born on June 7 making them Gemini's the sign Gemini is represented by twins coincidence number 25 in the game new leap one of the store that the nuke shop can be upgraded to is called TI y this is a reference to DIY or Do It Yourself home projects meant for people to be able to do themselves guess that means no customer service from them number 26 leaf the sloth is the owner of the gardening store in new leaf his name is an allusion to the title as Ellie I F leaf sounds like Ellie AO in Japanese he's instead called ray G when it's written down in katakana it resembles the English word lazy makes sense and sloths are slower movie animals number 27 the bunny Day characters zipper T bunny isn't an actual rabbit if you listen closely to the way the character talks it's actually another character in costume doing their job is it a zipper I see in the back number 28 there's only one way to catch a bean and it's not pretty the player has to shake the trees in town until an S falls out the bees will chase you and you have to perform the right reflexes to catch them in your net if you fail well you get stung then it's benadryl for you number 29 besides bees a few other creatures can really hurt the player when trying to catch them this includes scorpions and tarantulas who will chase the player if they're equipped with the net both of these can attack the player causing them to pass out and wake up in front of their house number 30 they're not impossible to catch though players can use the tiptoe feature by holding your net while walking to sneak up on tarantulas and scorpions without being chased that is if they don't see you just be careful though because they can run away into the water and if you keep being chased try finding them without your net being equipped number 31 the good news is that the bee stings can be fixed with medicine it can be purchased once a day from the local nuke shop to instantly fix any swelling or if you're lucky one of you Chi builders will give you medicine if you talk to them with a not so pretty face this medicine can possibly used to cure sick villagers number 32 all villagers usually follow the same template model depending on what animal they are based on dear villagers however are an exception as boys will have antlers and girls won't number 33 many of the games contain an ant eater villager named Serena who was a reference to the famous French figure Serrano tuber Jura they definitely got to burgeon ex knows right with Serrano number 34 many of the characters have Nance based on food that relate to their species this includes a cow named patty a chicken named Benedict and a duck named Pat a cute idea but it seems a little morbid number 35 the bunny characters Chrissie and Francine are very similar in appearance they both have polka dot designs and dresses just in different colors the two appeared together on the cover for the song bubblegum cake a one of my favorites introducing our newest pop princesses number 36 the two don't just look alike though according to the Japanese website for city folk Chrissie and Francine are sisters they have different personalities too with Chrissy being peppy and Francine being snooty reminds me of another pair of sisters number 37 the player character has a history with the seabass upon catching one in the gamecube title they will say I caught a sea bass sea bass in wild world they will say not again in city folk it's not you again and a new leaf it's what you again the player has a good reason to be upset because sea bass are one of the most common fish in the game they can be caught during any season of the year and at any time of the day they're not very valuable either poor guys number 38 coelacanths are notorious for being rare in Animal Crossing they're the only fish in the game that can be caught while it's raining or snowing however they can't be caught on the island even if it's raining number 39 your character is fully aware of how rare coelacanths are upon catching the species in new leaf village named holy fish sticks in huge text they ought to be excited because a coelacanth sells for fifteen thousand bells number forty new leaf introduced Bruce's new Leone cafe the roost the ruse is a species reference brucer is shown to be a pigeon and Roose is a place where birds go to rest you can say the roost is is verse number 41 according to Brewster the ideal temperature for coffee is 175 point 38 degrees this comes out to be a little over 79 degrees Celsius in other words scorching hot dude you're gonna burn your beak booster number 42 almost every character in Animal Crossing has their own favorite coffee order for the roots these are often related to their personalities Isabelle likes a mocha with lots of milk and sugar while mr. Resetti takes his black gives you a good idea of the personality spectrum we're dealing with here not to mention helps to earn those special items for working part-time at the roost number 43 all the characters on tour to Mars Island are kappas which are green turtles all are related to Cap'n the snazzy pirate hanging on the island Leoni behind the counter is captain's wife lay on the floor is his daughter and grams selling stuff is his mother talk about the beach life is slowing you down number 44 both captain's daughter and wife had the word lay in their name this is a reference to a floral lay a garland given in Hawaii as a gift to be worn as the island has a Hawaiian theme this is also seen in their clothes which have tropical hibiscus flowers on them Aloha number 45 Leone wears a flower on her right ear according to some traditions it means that she's actually still single number 46 Lela works at the island as a young merchant who will buy items off of you be careful though because she only pays one twentieth of the actual price for any item you give her ripoff number 47 recent cyrus are the husband-and-wife duo who run the retail shop and are the only alpacas in the game and the entire series if you aren't familiar with alpacas there are a lot like animal love first fluffy coat and capable of warming our hearts number 48 in Japan recent Cyrus are named Lisa and kazoo respectively the way this is pronounced to play on the Japanese word was cycle which is what players do in their shop Cyrus's Japanese name is also play on Kaiser Sulu which references Cyrus's job repairing things for the player number 49 Italy isn't afraid of the obvious over there Reese is instead simply known as apakah Cyrus is known as Reno which is the name of a kind of sheep this is taking up a notch in Spain where Cyrus is known as out while Reese is known as pukka keeping it simple number 50 apakah bar dö pakka are Parkers in Japan the shot we tell is known as our Parkers which references the Japanese pronunciation or al pakka number 51 moving on to villagers let's talk about some species we got frogs horses alligators bears and Cubs but some of our favorite villagers aren't quite the respective species Draco the alligator is a dragon robot is a robot frog stitches has patchwork fabric for a teddy bear look and Julian the horse is the only unicorn in the series and what about lucky is the undead or just clumsy number 52 the alligator character Alfonso wears an especially distinct default shirt when he first moves into your town he'll be seen wearing a red shirt with Mario signature M symbol on it shout-out to the classics number 53 the shirt is referred to in game as the big bro shirt referencing Mario being older than Luigi to top it all off his catchphrase is it's a B in reference to Mario's signature line diehard fan much number 54 continuing the trend of NPCs having honey referential names we have travelling bird Gulliver a traveler with the name Gulliver it sounds familiar right well that's because Gulliver is a reference to the classic book goal of which travels which is about a man who wait for it travels number 55 have you ever tried planting a coconut or banana only to have it wilt and die immediately symbolizing your failure as a gardener yeah me too well there's a reason why these particular fruit don't make it past a second of life any fruit that grows on a palm tree like say a coconut or banana must be planted on the beach if these trees are planted in the grass they'll never grow number 56 whoever said money doesn't grow on trees obviously hasn't played animal crossing if you use a golden shovel and plant a bag of bells there's a tiny chance that it will grow into a money tree when it grows it will bear three bags of bells that carry the amount originally buried really wishing I had one of these number 57 in Animal Crossing for GameCube planting a money tree differs quite a bit players can actually use a regular shovel to get a tree but they have to bury the bells in one of the shiny spots that show up in the town daily strategic planting number 58 not every KK Schneider song has a KK in its title some of them are regular song names including ones like I love you Neapolitan and stale cupcakes I'm sure KK doesn't need to label all of the songs to stay popular number 59 when you buy some cake a slider albums you might notice that there's some random text written on them the words aren't Japanese nor English this seems to be the written version of Panama Lee's the in-game language how come they don't offer that in school number 60 in wild world and city folk players can change some language settings to determine how the characters speak these are anomalies Peppa bees and silence with bee bee bees characters speak in a more neutral beeping sound like the sound that plays when text is displayed for catching a fish or a bug with silence characters make no noise at all number 61 some furniture can only be found under very special circumstances there's obviously the ones found in fortune cookies and Japanese exclusive items but furniture sets like the egg furniture can only be acquired on bunny day and snowman furniture which can be gained from building a snowman in the winter and then there's also balloon furniture introduced in new lead and is only available from shooting down those presents floating in the sky number 62 Animal Crossing title names can vary based on the country in Japan Europe and Oceania city folk is known as let's go to the city and wild world in Japan is known as animal forest come here number 63 new leaf is named in North America after the phrase turn over a new leaf reflecting all the changes from previous games in Japan however it's known as animal forest jump out it's also known as animal forest pop out in South Korea number 64 when you start new leaf Rober is with you on a train to town Rover says haven't done this much traveling by trains in 2002 or so man that's weird longtime animal crossing fans should catch this reference since is referring to the original animal crossing where you and Rover share train ride towards your town in wild world do you take a taxi and in city folk you go by bus so enjoy the train ride maybe the next game will be by Ober number 65 as of new leaf the species with the least villagers is the octopus there are only three marina octavian and Zucker it must be hard being an octopus land number 66 for the first time in new leaf bear species of villagers was divided into two sets the standard bear consisting of characters like Kurt and tutu will be larger in size the bear cub characters like Pudge and maple are closer to the player in size and call me short number 67 players at shampoodles have to decide the colours based on different descriptions rather than the actual color when getting a new hairstyle this includes angel wings for white and clear sky for light blue number 68 players can also decide their eye color based on certain descriptions they're divided into three categories vast sky large trees and endless ocean these all give variations of brown green and blue maybe then someone can tell you you have beautiful large tree eyes number 69 LaBelle was originally known as label but she adopted the name labelled as a fancier name for her new career I support this life choice because if my name was labeled I would change it to LaBelle to number 70 the winter season is lovely because of all the whites upon cedar trees but if you put the cedar tree too close to a public works project the cedar tree will not have any lights on it number 71 if you get Harriet to style your hair 15 times she'll give you an option for opposite gender hairstyles number 72 the mermaid series is a furniture set that only starts to appear in new leaf the only way to furnish your house with this series it's a purchase to set at the island gift shop the items that are added to the shop change daily and can be totally random so it might take a while to get every single piece in the island gift shop line of furniture is the Cabana series as well although not new to the Animal Crossing series it is exclusive to the island gift shop in newley number 73 things purchased at the island gift shop can't just be bought with bells either players can only buy the items with metals which can be earned by completing tours special island tour games you have to work for those souvenirs I guess how many of you out there have a toy hammer anyone number 74 and newly if your player avatar can actually get a tan this only happens if they stay outside during the summer season with no hat or head accessories the player can also visit the island during the day for that summer Sun all year round funny cuz I only managed to get a sunburn number 75 everyone knows that when you cut down a tree in Animal Crossing a stump from but the tree rings exposed we have mentioned previously that you can get unique patterns like a Triforce or a butterfly when cutting a tree down and using a regular or golden axe there's a slight chance you will get something other than a normal stump but if you use that trusty silver axe you will always get a special pattern there are six four oak trees and six four cedar number 76 many of the events characters judge contests that directly relate to their species the bug off is judged by a chameleon because it's a species that mostly eat insects the fishing contest is judged by a beaver an animal known for being a fantastic swimmer number 77 a running joke in the fishing contest is that the beaver judge chip will eat any fish he's given but if chip were an actual beaver he'd be a pretty strict vegetarian number 78 animal crossing gave players eight different designs for boy and girl characters to choose from in new leaf there are up to 13 faces available for boys and for girls customizing has come a long way number 79 most fish and animal crossing and pier in various sizes from the same shadow underwater this changes however when a player encounters a big fish like a shark in this case the fish's fin will be sticking up out of the water cue jaws music oh it's just an ocean sunfish number 80 animal crossing had eReader support in Japan the name of the game changed to reflect the feature and was known as animal force B plus to clear up any confusion number 81 before there were amiibo cards there were several different e-reader card types that can be used in Animal Crossing for Gamecube these included villager cards sibling cards Town Tunes mini game cards and design cards the cards were used to enhance the animal crossing experience in many different ways yeah that's a lot of cards number 82 villager cards give letters from specific villagers along with an item sibling cards would have codes on both sides with related characters on them like Kelly and Phyllis town tune cards would give you special town tunes mini game cards would give you any s games and design cars would offer special patterns number 83 the e-reader card mechanic would find its way to modern-day Animal Crossing gaming by way of amiibo cards well enemy will figure 2 in Animal Crossing happy home designer for the Nintendo yes and Animal Crossing amiibo festival for the Wii U amiibo support was the main feature Animal Crossing amiibo

something more manageable switch to amiibo figures number 85 Animal Crossing happy home designer it's a spin-off game released in 2015 revolving around designing the villagers homes instead of acting as mayor the player works as a new employee for the happy home academy so if you like a break from the responsibilities of mayor relax and exercise your interior design skills number 86 Lodi a pink Otter who works at the happy home Academy introduced in happy home designer is known for wearing a lot of makeup and loyal for uncle mentioned that it worries him a little bit she looks so different without it so much that Digby asked if she's feeling all right when Shiba gets to put it on savage number 87 this lack of makeup is actually visible on Lonnie's in-game model and her standard appearance her eyes are big and she has thick eyelashes and some Easter eggs however the player can see her eyes without makeup this reveals that her eyes are actually very small the magic of makeup number 88 pitaka song is an easter egg that is well known amongst intend no fans and it's been hidden in several installments of Animal Crossing happy home designer is no different if you have the DJ KK amiibo card you can scan it to enter his house if you place the DJ turntable in his home the talk of song will start playing number 89 one event in the Animal Crossing amiibo festival revolves around a rainy day causing the characters to stay in and play video games the game they're playing amiibo festival there seems to be some kind of weird dimensional loop going on here number 90 in happy home designer one of the four games that the player can put into a home is amiibo festival number 981 a slight references Mario Cart can be found in happy home designer in the handbook you can play sounds in the sound scenery options if you play city sounds you can hear go cards and even a Koopa shell as long as there's no bananas number 92 in fall 2016 it was announced that new leaf is perceiving amiibo support the free update allows players to use the amiibo figures and cards on the 3ds game to expand the game even more in update for 2012 game in 2016 that's awesome number 93 similar to how happy home designer used amiibo to reach specific villagers the free update allows players to use amiibo to bring in specific villages into their town to visit via mobile home the

she really wouldn't fit in this town anyway number 96 in addition new amiibo cards were announced alongside the update this new way which came out of nowhere is adding 50 new cards each featuring a brand new builder two new leaf some returning from past games like Boyd and Hopkins who only appeared in animal forest B plus as well as the interior design of that villagers mobile home number 97 the

in both her summer outfit as well as her winter outfit accompanied with alternate expressions and effect pieces the summer version was actually released in 2016 the Nendoroid line totally works for the animal crossing design so I'm hoping they make more characters number 100 following the success of miitomo Nintendo announced in 2016 that an animal crossing app was in development one of the goals ki Mishima made for the animal crossing mobile app was to create a connection between the console games and mobile devices the apps will offer a new mode of play while also making the original
