Island

The Island is a place that characters can visit in for the GameCube, separate from the main town. Having a Gamecube-Gameboy Advance connector cable and a Gameboy Advance is a requirement. The island's weather is always Summer, regardless of the main town's weather. Once on the island, the player will soon discover their single island villager, who can be one from a select few island-exclusive villagers, and their own island bungalow. The bungalow can be customized in the same way as the player's house. At the bungalow, there is no gyroid so you can't save on the island. Outside, the player will find multiple flowers and coconut trees. They can interact with their villager, catch season-exclusive fish and bugs, and take the coconuts to sell back in their own town.

Once the player has finished on the island, they must speak to Kapp'n again to return home to save. Kapp'n will ask the player if they'd like to save their island to their Gameboy Advance. If the player chooses to do so, they must set up the connection to the Gameboy Advance once more. Kapp'n will save the island to the Gameboy Advance. Once this is finished, the player can continue to interact with their villager on the island, helping them catch fish, eat fruits or coconuts left on the ground, or catch flying presents, all while their character returns to their home village. The changes made to the island in the Gameboy Advance can then be uploaded back to the Gamecube the next time the player goes to visit the island. This can be a useful tactic for making money, as the island villagers can drop slowly increasing amounts of Bells for the player's interactions.
