Happy Home Showcase

The Happy Home Showcase is a new location that appears in the town in. The plaza appears behind the arch in the centre of Main Street, opposite the train tracks.

The main service this area provides is the ability to visit StreetPass players houses from other towns.

Digby stands outside the plaza, and will greet the player before they enter. He will then follow the player through and provide them with information on the area.

Features
What is first noticeable when entering the Happy Home Showcase are the number of homes with other players walking around them. Each of these houses belong to a player the current player has visited using StreetPass.


 * There are 46 houses in total, with 16 in 3 blocks each which can be seen in the area Digby walks the player through to.
 * After a while, the player may notice some houses being replaced by newer houses they have visited.
 * Homes may be saved and are symbolized by a pink heart floating above it. These homes will not be replaced by newer buildings, but the player may only save 16.
 * Homes which have been updated since the last visit are colored yellow.
 * Homes which have not been updated since the last visit are colored grey.

The player may also be able to order furniture which has been added to another player's house. However, the player will only be able to order 5 items a day. hgh

StreetPass
StreetPass is one of the network capabilities of the Nintendo 3DS. It allows the player to connect to other Nintendo 3DS consoles, whether they are in sleep-mode or currently in use. The player does not need to connect manually to another player's 3DS, as this is done automatically when another console is within range.

In, when another 3DS console with the game installed is within range, the 3DS will download some of their data to the Happy Room Showcase, including the house and furniture, and any badges received from Phineas. Details such as names are not included, making the homes and their players anonymous.

The feature can be turned off. However, this does mean homes may not be added to the Showcase.
