==Unused Villager==
 
An unused villager, fan-dubbed Blazel, can be found in the game's code. The villager's name is a series of glitched characters ([key]ù«–•B¡ ¡ [there is no textual character for a vertical key]), and has characteristics similar to Bliss and Hazel. Talking to the villager a second time changes its name to Jambette, possibly due to memory errors. An odd quirk is that it's loaded in the memory with other non-villager NPCs. It has a cranky personality. Interestingly, it talks like Kapp'n, and he himself says he doesn't like squirrels.
 
 
The villager can be seen by using the [[Action Replay]] codes {{hex|QRV3-4RM5-ZZKU7 KKJQ-YNNA-01B4D}} in the US version:

So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Animal Crossing is a port of Doubutsu no Mori to the GameCube, and the first game of the series to be localized.

Version Differences
A remake of a remake that got a remake. We need to go deeper.

Debug Mode

The game has a debug mode which can be activated by setting the disc ID version field to 0x99. Use a hex editor to change byte #7 (0x00000007) of the ISO/GCM file. It works on all versions – the North American, European, Japanese (both versions), and Australian games can all be modified in this way.

  • Shows info about the game build date/version/etc. on startup, and on the title screen
  • Shows the ID of the current message in the corner of the screen
  • Shows 3D arrows pointing to various special things (like event NPCs and balloons)
  • Shows a CPU/memory usage meter on the boot screen
  • Enables button combos on Controllers 2 and 3
  • Prevents Resetti from showing up
  • Shows a crash dump if the game crashes
  • More?

Controller 3 features an item select that, if you have the patience to use it, can summon a variety of items directly into your pocket:

  • Pressing Start brings up text that says ナシ (nothing).
  • Up on the D-Pad cycles through the categories FTR (furniture), PPR (paper), MNY (money), TOL (tools and umbrellas and junk), FSH (fish), ELS (other junk), CPT (carpet), WLL (wallpaper), FOD (food), MSC (music), DST (calendar/diary things), LOT (raffle tickets), IST (insects), HPY (grab bags), and KAB (turnips).
  • Left and Right on the D-Pad change the number.
  • Down on the D-Pad puts one of the selected item in your pocket.

Controller 2 features everything else. Most buttons, when pressed once, will show or hide a debug display. The C-stick is four separate buttons, one for each of Up, Down, Left, and Right. R changes the game speed rather than displaying something on-screen.

In the item screen, C-Down gives you one net, axe, shovel, and fishing rod; C-Left increases your money by 1,000 Bells; and C-Right fills your pocket with bags of 30,000 Bells.

Controller 2 also has two-button combinations, all of which involve holding L, R, or Start. All but one of the possible combinations opens memory editors of some kind (the exception being holding R and pressing Down on the D-Pad, which pauses and unpauses the game). Memory editors can be opened by holding one of the three buttons mentioned earlier, and pressing another button twice. For example, holding L and tilting the C-Stick left twice opens the "S(SREG)" editor. holding L and tilting the C-Stick left again flips to the next page, and so on. The editor closes when there are no more pages or when different button combo starts (e.g., holding R and pressing Start once).

Editors are navigated using the D-Pad to scroll up and down between items, and left and right between possible values. The editor that opens from holding R and pressing Start, "H(HREG)", can be used to activate a debug controller input display by navigating to item 47 and setting its value to nonzero.

Hmmm...
To do:
Get screenshots, post them, figure out other debug functions, make this not be walls of text.

Map Select

Careful, you'll lose an eye.
This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

The "forest map select" from Doubutsu no Mori still exists and can be activated using this Action Replay code in the European version and pressing the Reset button once at title screen or twice in-game:

04002FF0 38000001
04002FF4 3C8080D4
04002FF8 98047EB7

The Forbidden Four

In addition to the 15 available NES games, there are four normally unobtainable games dubbed "The Forbidden Four" by fans: Mario Bros., Ice Climber, Super Mario Bros., and The Legend of Zelda. Certain NES game requirements were shifted around in each regional version of the game, which resulted in some obscure methods to obtain them.

  • In the initial Japanese release, Ice Climber could be obtained as a gift when transferring save data from the N64 game (although this service has long since been discontinued), while Super Mario Bros. was given away as a limited-run Famitsu prize.
  • In North America, Mario Bros. and Ice Climber were obtainable via very rare e-Reader cards in Series 4 of Animal Crossing-e.
  • The Legend of Zelda is legitimately unavailable in any version, and none of these games are available in European versions without hacking.

These games can only be obtained by hacking them into the player's inventory, as trying to unlock them with a trade code generator will not work. Interestingly, all except The Legend of Zelda have Advance Play options, and in Doubutsu no Mori e+ the Advance Play data still remains via hacking even though the games were otherwise erased as console items.

Unused Items

Hmmm...
To do:
Find screenshots of each item; include screenshots of the Unknown Item's inventory sprite and the Sickle's overworld sprite.

Within the coding of the game lie several unused items that can only be accessed by hacking. These include:

  • DUMMY, a glitch item appearing as a white triangle with red Japanese text on it reading "ダミー" (which translates to "DUMMY", hence the name). Unlike other items, this one can be accessed through a glitch – once in an Igloo (the winter equivalent of a Summer Camper's tent), you obtain the item in a similar way to other furniture. The villager inside might want to play a game where s/he will ask you to pick two cards: one card forces you to buy something, while the other gives you a free prize. The prize card may sometimes be a DUMMY.
  • Named DUMMY items. Here is a list of all the named dummy items:
kagamimochi 
heavy chair 
school chair 
towel chair 
stepstool 
unused dresser 
unused monkey 
modern den chair 
giant dharma

DUMMY 
  • The Legend of Zelda appearing as a standard NES that will reset Animal Crossing upon attempting to play.
  • A blue fish with a hook in its mouth, possibly used to test the fishing function.
  • A glowing yellow box that moves back and forth, can push the player around (sometimes making them float), and can modify the spread of Paper Airplanes; it was most likely used to test the lighthouse.
  • A tool labeled "Sickle", which makes the player function as if they had nothing in their hands. Strangely, it appears as a toolbox when dropped, a feature that only appeared in Doubutsu no Mori (evidencing that the icon is still in Animal Crossing's code), Wild World and New Leaf. However, a toolbox can be seen in Animal Island.
  • An "Unknown Item" that appears in the player's inventory as a box with a question mark, and appears in homes as a clone of DUMMY.
  • Paper Airplanes which, if you place on the ground, walk offscreen, and come back, will duplicate itself. Pressing A while on top of the paper airplane will make it disappear visibly, but will still exist in the system's memory. When the airplanes fill up an acre, that acre shuts down and is rendered inaccessible. Letting the airplane multiply too much can shut down your entire town and crash the game.
  • Present items that can't be removed or opened from the inventory.
  • Full grown saplings, trees, town tune board, stores, map and train models.

Unused Clothing

Eight unused clothing items exist in the game, and can be added to the first inventory slot using Action Replay codes 01520000 08000000 03266488 0000XXXX (US only), where "XXXX" is any of the following:

  • Plum Kimono - 2412
