Island

The Island, also known as Animal Island, is a location that first appears in. It later reappears in its port, and later in  with new islanders. It is separate from the main town, therefore getting its own name. In Animal Forest e+ and Animal Crossing, a Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Cable and a Game Boy Advance are needed to get to the island, while they are not in ''Animal Forest e+. ''It reappears again in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and can get there through Kapp'n's Speedboat.

The islands 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 of several island-exclusive villagers, and their island bungalow. The bungalow can be customized in the same way as the player's house. There is no gyroid outside the bungalow, so it is not possible to save on the island. Outside, the player will find multiple flowers and coconut trees. They can interact with the islander, catch season-exclusive fish and bugs, and take the coconuts back to their town to plant them on it's beach.thumb|300px|right|The music that plays on the [[player's island]]

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 would like to save their island to their Game Boy Advance. If the player chooses to do so, they must set up the connection to the Game Boy Advance once more. Kapp'n will save the island to the Game Boy 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 Game Boy 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 Bells, as the island villagers can drop slowly increasing amounts of Bells for the player's interactions. The player can also get a tan when out in the sun long enough, since it is always summer. If the player is out in the sun too long, they can be sunburned, however, this can be avoided by the use of an umbrella.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf
The Island returns in, but no villagers live there other than Tortimer who decided to retire and live there, and Kapp'n's family. The Island is much smaller in comparison, but still allows Fishing and Bug Catching, and has Fruit Trees. New additions are bushes and rocks, and a shack where Kapp'n drops off the player in his new motorized boat.

Inside the shack the player will meet Kapp'n's family - Leilani, his wife, Kuku, his daughter, and Grams, his mother. Leilani works at the front desk, where the player can choose different games which will award medals in completion. These medals can be spent on souvenirs from Grams, which include furniture and clothes. Kuku can buy certain items from the player, but only for a small amount of Bells.

Tortimer also has mini-games for the player to play while they visit the Island.

The player is not allowed to bring any items from the island back to their Town, unless dropping them off in the box next to the port where they can receive them later.

Islanders
An islander is a villager that lives on the island.

If you connect to the island with a Game Boy Advance, they can be interacted with. They all have favorite fruits and fruits they are allergic too. They can interact with tools if you drop them. They can give you prizes like money bags, which can be collected upon return to the island. There is an island bungalo for the player with four shirts in it, two of which are Red Aloha Shirts and the other two being Blue Aloha Shirts. Every Player can edit this house.
