Animal Crossing[]

Fauna Magazine[]

Fauna Magazine is a fashion magazine appearing only in Animal Crossing and Animal Forest e+ that Tom Nook mentions when trying to sell the player clothing, saying that the magazine calls it "hip". Some of the villagers also mention it occasionally.

Wild World[]

Boondox[]

Boondox is an unseen town located north of the player's town in Wild World. It is generally described as a very poor, uncivilized town. The player can donate Bells to Boondox by speaking to Pelly or Phyllis at the Town Hall. At certain donation landmarks, the Boondoxians will send the player a letter informing them how their donations are being used to help Boondox greatly. Enclosed in certain letters will be a feather. Donating Bells to Boondox is the only way of obtaining the feathers, and cannot be bought from Tom Nook's catalog. In one letter, a resident of Boondox states that they are studying for the "Lake University entrance exams".

The existence of Boondox is highly debated. Cranky villagers will tell the player that they donated and after doing so, Tortimer went past them either saying "I'm having steak tonight!" or installing a plasma TV in his house, implying that Tortimer made up Boondox for his own profits.

When talking to other normal villagers, it is revealed they both talk to it, try out hairstyles on it and even cook with it.

The first novel is entitled Sing a Song of Clobbertown. In the book, and presumably the show, the characters speak Elizabethan English.

Peppy villagers also mention that everybody loves the show: "Folks cosplay it, get tattoos of, and name their children after characters!" Fans of the show refer to themselves as "Slobbers".

Bagel Boy is an unseen comic in the Animal Crossing series. Lazy villagers will occasionally ask for it from other villagers. As with other comics and DVDs, the owner will charge Bells 500 Bells a day due to their low amount of Bells. The price will later be changed to 3,500 Bells in the conversation because the lazy villager wishes to keep it for a week, and therefore becomes too expensive for him.

Pudge talking about Chillin' Magazine in City Folk.

The magazine was first referenced in Wild World and has been noted in all subsequent games. Snooty villagers make references to it most often, referring to beauty tips and products.

Precipitation Monthly[]

RUU 0435

Precipitation Monthly is an unseen magazine read by the Snowman which is built by the player during Winter.

If a Snowman is out of proportion, he will say it is only a matter of time before he makes Precipitation Monthly's list of Snowmen with the worst bodies. However, if the player builds a perfect snowman he will comment it's only a matter of time before he makes the list of snowbachelors.

Sumware[]

Sumware is an unseen location in City Folk. Mabel claims it is where Wendell lives in City Folk; in Wild World, he was said to live in Tuskany. The spelling of this location suggests it is not just an ambiguous term for an unknown place or town but an actual area.

Treehut[]

Treehut is an unseen town in Wild World and City Folk, presumably named after the Nintendo North American localization team, Treehouse. Upon the first visit to Able Sisters, all the designs that are there are from people in Treehut. Of the eight known Treehut designers (Tim, Alan, Scot, C-no, Ann, Sass, Rich, and Rei Rei), only three can be paired to their real life equivalent beyond a reasonable doubt (Tim: Tim O'Leary, Scot: Scot Ritchey, Rich: Rich Amtower--Rei Rei likely refers to Reiko Ninomiya; Ann may refer to Ann Lin).

The player cannot travel to Treehut, and it is unknown if the visitors that do come to the player's town are from Treehut.

Tuskany[]

Tuskany is an unseen town in Animal Crossing series. It is the home and place of Wendell in Wild World. In City Folk, Mabel claims Wendell is from "Sumware". In Wild World, when the player asks Mabel about one of Wendell's patterns, she will claim that it is by "Wendell from Tuskany". The name is probably a reference to the Italian region of Tuscany which is famous for its art, spelling it with "tusk" instead for an added pun.
