The e-Reader™

reader

Your local post office has its very own e-TM, or e-Transfer Machine. This nifty machine will decode the data on your Animal Crossing e-Reader cards (sold separately) and transfer it to the Nintendo GameCube game, allowing you to receive letters and presents from some of your favorite characters.

The e-TM is easy to use. First, insert the e-Reader into your Game Boy Advance and connect it to your Nintendo GameCube using a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable. (The Game Boy Advance, e-Reader and Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable are all sold separately. See the e-Reader Instruction Booklet for detailed instructions on connecting the e-Reader to your Nintendo GameCube.)

Next, stand in front of the e-TM and press the A Button. You must prepare your e-Reader to scan your Animal Crossing e-Reader cards, so choose "Prep e-Reader" from the menu. Once you have downloaded the card reading program to your e-Reader and Game Boy Advance, you can use it to scan e-Reader cards anywhere in Animal Crossing as long as you don't turn your Game Boy Advance off.

Once the e-Reader is ready, choose "Read Card." Prepare the e-Reader to scan your card, and then just swipe the card. The e-TM will then decode the data on the card and mail it to your house. Remember, you can scan each card only once per day!

NOTE

If you change the original pattern, you'll also change the pattern of any item using that same design. However, outfits and umbrellas displayed at the store won't change, and neither will the flag on your island.

See page 16 to learn how to use your patterns.

Design Cards

reader

Creating detailed designs can take some time. But if you happen to have an Animal Crossing e-Reader design card (sold separately), you can immediately get a fine design straight from the e-Reader card!

First, insert the e-Reader into your Game Boy Advance and connect it to your Nintendo GameCube using a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable. (The Game Boy Advance, e-Reader and Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable are all sold separately. See the e-Reader Instruction Booklet for detailed instructions on connecting the e-Reader to your Nintendo GameCube.) Next, go to the Able Sisters tailor shop. Talk to Mabel and choose Other things. You'll have to get your e-Reader ready to transfer design data, so choose "Prep e-Reader." Follow the instructions on your Game Boy Advance screen, and then swipe your card through the e-Reader! You can transfer the design from the e-Reader card to your Nintendo GameCube game by dropping it onto one of your 8 available patterns. Just remember—youll have to sacrifice one of your 8 designs to save it.

If You Talk to Mabel...

- Create a Pattern

Select a place to store your pattern. This will erase one of the patterns on your item screen.

Using the design tools, create your own pattern. (See page 26 to learn how to use the design tools.)

When you finish the pattern, give it a name. You can enter up to 16 characters. When you finish, you will pay a fee.

Any Suggestions?

Select this to get a recommendation from Mabel on the patterns displayed at the store.

- Save Pattern

You can save up to 96 patterns on a Memory Card.

Other Locations

Police Station

Every police station has a lost & found department, which can store up to 20 lost items. If more than 20 items come in, the older items disappear. Feel free to reclaim any lost goods there. Also, you can get valuable information on upcoming events from the policemen.

When You Visit Another Town... Be sure to stop in at the local police station when you're visiting a friend's town. Officer Copper will give you a map of the town, good for whenever you visit.

See page 32 to learn more about visiting other towns.

Wishing Well

If you can't complete a delivery because the recipient has moved away, place the item in the wishing well, where you can apologize for not delivering it. The wishing well can also tell you about the state of your town.

If You Find Out Where the Recipient Has Moved...

If you know where the recipient lives, you can hand over the item by visiting that town. It's always better to complete a delivery than to apologise for not completing one.

The Dump

Drop off items you no longer need here. They'll stay in the dump until the next garbage-collection day.

Museum

You can donate your fossil, painting, fish, or insect collection to the museum. Any items you donate will be put on display, where you and your friends can see them at any time.

Anyone can post a message on the bulletin board. The bulletin board can hold up to 15 messages. Older messages get deleted as new messages are posted. Once you post a message, you can't delete it, so be careful what you write! Any special town events will be posted on the bulletin board, so be sure to check it frequently.

You can compose and change the tune that plays every hour in your town and whenever you talk to the other townsfolk.

Press START to exit the bulletin board screen.

reader

Sometimes, trying to think up a nifty new town tune can be difficult. However, if you have an Animal Crossing e-Reader card with town tune data on it, you can change your town tune easily!

First, insert the e-Reader into your Game Boy Advance and connect it to your Nintendo GameCube using a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable. (The Game Boy Advance, e-Reader and Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable are all sold separately.

Your town tune will be changed automatically.

Gyroids and Saving Your Game!

Do not remove Memory Card while the save screen is displayed. It could result in corrupted save data, forcing you to start your town from so

The passage of time between when you last played the game and when you play again is calculated by the Nintendo GameCube's internal clock. Changing the internal clock on your GameCube (see page 17 of the Nintendo GameCube user's manual) will affect the time-passage calculations in the game.

Visit a Friend's Town!

Every town is unique, so when you visit a friend's town, you'll notice that its layout and residents are quite different from yours. If you ever want to meet new people and see new places, you can visit another town using a Memory Card that contains a friend's town data. There are two ways to travel to another town.

Talk to Porter

If you want to take a trip, go to the train station and talk to Porter, the attendant.

Before you travel, check your Animal Crossing clock and Nintendo GameCube system clock to make sure the time settings between your town and your destination are roughly the same. If the two time settings are very different, your turnips might go bad or an item you've sent might not reach its destination.

What's Different in Other Towns?

The townsfolk

The items at Tom Nook's store

The fruit on trees

Look for other differences. Some things in other towns may seem similar to those in yours.

Go Home

When you are ready to head back to your town, go to the train station and talk to Porter again. When you get back home, be sure to talk to your Gyroid and save your progress!

NOTE

If you reset or quit without saving after you return from traveling, you will lose all of the Bells and items you were carrying. Always talk to your Gyroid and save after you've been traveling.

Travel Method 1

- For this method, you need two Memory Cards, one with your town data and one on which you can save travel data.

    B -->|Your travel data| A
    C["Slot A"] -->|Your friend's town data| D["Slot B"]

• Step 1: Create travel data

Talk to Porter and create "travel data" on the Memory Card in Slot B. (This requires 3 empty blocks.) Your town data is saved automatically.

• Step 2: Travel to your friend's town

Insert the Memory Card containing your friend's town data in Slot A while the Memory Card containing your travel data is in Slot B. You're all set to visit your friend's town!

Animal Crossing will automatically overwrite your old travel data before your next trip.

Travel Method 2

- For this method, you need two Memory Cards, one with your town data and one with a friend's town data.

• Step 1: Load your town data

If you talk to Porter while the Memory Card with your friend's town data is inserted into Slot B, you'll enjoy a short train ride to your friend's town. Your own town is saved automatically.

Take some time to visit your island native, go fishing, catch some insects, or decorate your island bungalow. It's always summer on your tropical island, so it's nice to go there when the weather in your town is bad.

You can also paste your own pattern onto the island flag.

When You're Ready to Go Home...

To return to your town, just talk to Kapp'n again. When you get back home, be sure to talk to your Gyroid and save your progress!

When you save your town data, your island data will be saved as well.

Cross the Ocean and Travel to an Island! (Game Boy Advance)

When you return to your town from the island, you can save your island's data onto the Game Boy Advance. This way, you can watch your island's resident while you're away.

First, you will have to load the design tool onto your Game Boy Advance. This will also load any patterns you are carrying. Follow the same steps you do on the Nintendo GameCube to create a new pattern.

• Using the Design Tool

Check the controls below. The Game Boy Advance design tool works much like the one on the Nintendo GameCube.

See page 39 for information on Sleep Mode.

- Naming Your Pattern

Follow the button assignments below to enter characters, following the same steps as on the Nintendo GameCube.

Load Design

Talk to Mabel at the tailor's shop while your Game Boy Advance is connected to the GameCube and the power is turned on. Select "Other things," "Design Advance," and then "Load design." The patterns you created on the Game Boy Advance will be sent to the Nintendo GameCube. The new patterns are saved on your pattern list in the item screen.

Choose a pattern to send to the Nintendo GameCube...

...then select a location to store it.

Sleep Mode

When you're done playing your Game Boy Advance, press SELECT to enter Sleep Mode. Sleep Mode turns the screen off while keeping the power on, helping to save battery power.

- Entering Sleep Mode

Press the SELECT to bring up a screen like the one on the right. Select "Yes" to enter Sleep Mode. If you select "No," the game will resume. If no selection is made after the screen has been displayed for ten seconds, or if there is no other activity for five minutes, the Game Boy Advance will automatically enter Sleep Mode.

You Can't Enter Sleep Mode if...

• You are exchanging information with a GameCube or another Game Boy Advance.
  • The warning message after the title screen is displayed.
  • The game is switching to another screen.

• Returning to the Title Screen

Press the L Button and SELECT simultaneously while in Sleep Mode to bring up a screen like the one on the right. Select "Yes" to go to the title screen and "No" to resume Sleep Mode.

NOTE

If you turn the power off or the batteries run out while your Game Boy Advance is on or in Sleep Mode, any data on the Game Boy Advance will be lost. To save your progress, load your Game Boy Advance data onto the Nintendo GameCube and save at your Gyroid. If you want to disconnect either a Game Boy Advance Link cable or Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable from a Game Boy Advance that has game data saved on it, be sure to do it while the power is on.
