"Animal Crossings": Comparisons and Contrasts Quiz

Answer: eight

"Animal Crossing" (GCN) has acres, so more people can live in the town at a time. There's more room. In "Animal Crossing: Wild World", since there are no acres, and the town is just a whole, there is less divided space per person, permitting less animals to live in your town.

Answer: there is one house per person

In "Animal Crossing" (GCN) there are four houses that each player can live in. In the beginning, Tom Nook asks you which house you want. Each of the four houses are in the same acre, and in the middle of the four houses lies the bulletin board. In "Wild World," the bulletin board is at the civic center in your town. There is no civic center in GCN- just a simple post office.

Answer: False

There are four expansions in both games. The expansions are: Nook's Cranny, Nook n' Go, Nookway, and Nookington's. You cannot get Nookington's if you do not connect with another town in a different memory card for GameCube (GCN), and/or a game card for DS ("Wild World"). You have to have someone buy an item from any expansion of Tom Nook's, and the resident of the town must spend at least 240,000 bells in the shop. Nookington's is the equivalent to a department store.

It has a barber, named Harriet, where you can change your hairdo if you'd like. Also, Nook's nephews, Timmy and Tommy, run the furniture department on the second floor.

Answer: Blathers' sister, Celeste

Celeste refuses to admit that she falls asleep during the day, while Blathers doesn't exactly admit he's asleep, but he makes an excuse for it. He says, "Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....ZWAAAAWK! I get so frightfully tired during the day, wot!" Anyway, Celeste has a telescope in the beginning, but they forgot to include star charts. You can make up your own constellations, and see them through the telescope. You can also check their peak viewing times, so you can see them perfectly in the night sky. Again, Celeste is not in "GCN", but she is in "Wild World".

Answer: False

Really, it's a double false, if there was one. "Animal Crossing: Wild World" has it where there are no real holidays, except for New Year's Eve and Day. Some holidays in it are the Flea Market, La-Di-Day, Bright Nights, and the Acorn Festival. In "Animal Crossing" (GCN), not all of the holidays are real life holidays.

There are other holidays such as Graduation Day, Officer's Day, Toy Day, and Morning Aerobics. There is a Spring Fair, Autumnal Equinox, and a Harvest Moon, but there really is no fair in spring that is an official holiday.

The Autumnal Equinox is the same as the Spring Fair. There is a harvest moon each year, but again, we do not celebrate it as an official holiday.

Answer: There is no ghost in "Wild World"

In "Animal Crossing" (GCN), Wisp appears at night, but he is invisible at first. However, he will call you over without you knowing where he is, but then he will appear. Wisp will ask you to gather up five spirits that he has lost. You have to capture them with your net, and return them to Wisp by 4 A.M. If you do, Wisp will give you three options; he will give you a present, change the color of your house's roof, or remove all weeds in the town. Wisp appears every night.

As for "Wild World", it is a shame, really. You have to pick the weeds in your town yourself.

Answer: they pack their belongings and you can convince them to stay in town

If an animal resident is moving in "Wild World", you can go into their house and talk to them. All they will talk about it moving. If you say "Don't Go!" or what ever comes up, they will either say something that could change their mind, or they say that they will continue to move.

There is a second option. Instead of saying "Don't Go!," you have the option of saying something like "Farewell!" instead. This will make them move if you don't talk to them again to try to convince them about it.

Answer: he rows you to the island

Kapp'n will only appear if you connect your GameBoy Advance or GameBoy Advance SP to the GameCube (for "Animal Crossing" (GCN) only) with the link cable required to do so. Kapp'n will sing a song on the way, and when you get there, there is a house where someone lives inside.

There is one inhabitant of the island- it is a random NPC that you can grow friendly with. There is another shack where you can get two shirts- the red and blue aloha shirts. On the island, also, it is always like summer, so you can catch fish and insects that appear in the summer year-round. Sadly, there is no island in "Wild World".

Answer: watering can and slingshot

The watering can is used to water dying flowers around the town. In "GCN", flowers don't die unless you run over them, so there was no purpose for a watering can before this game. You can get the golden watering can by taking good care of your town for sixteen days. If you can do it, you'll receive the golden can in the mail.

As for the slingshot, you shoot balloons out of the sky with presents attached. You have to go to the northernmost point of the town, though, to be able to shoot it down. Also, it's used for two other things. One, if Pete is flying in the air delivering mail, you can shoot him down.

The second thing is if you see a UFO in the sky, you're not seeing things. It's Gulliver, who was the sailor that washed up on the beach in "GCN". If you shoot his UFO down in "Wild World", he'll need you to get his UFO parts that he lost. If you get all of them scattered around town, he'll give you a rare item. To get the golden slingshot, you must shoot fifteen things out of the sky. Then, you'll have to shoot down the golden slingshot the next time a present appears in the sky.

Answer: Totakeke

Totakeke's nickname is K.K. Slider. You can catch him in either place (depending on your game) on Saturday nights between 8 P.M. and midnight. If you give him a song you've either heard in someone else's house or if you have the guide that has all of the song names in it, he'll play it for you for free.

He'll only play one song per person each week, so make sure you spell the song right! If you have four people, you can get four songs a week. Even if you spell it wrong, though, he'll let you hear him again and again until you spell it right- then you have to leave. Totakeke is also seen in the beginning of "Animal Crossing" (GCN) and he takes the place of what Kapp'n does in "Animal Crossing: Wild World" when he drives the taxi cab in the beginning.
