“BULL'S EYE! I got the golden slingshot! I'm right on target!”
― The player, upon receiveing the Golden Slingshot in Wild World.
The Slingshot is a Tool in the Animal Crossing series which is used to knock down objects directly above in the air. It was introduced in Wild World.
Usage[]
“The slingshot can be used to shoot down things flying in the sky, like the balloons you've no doubt seen!
It can't be used indoors, though. When you are outside, equip it from your pockets window!
By just pressing (A), you can easily aim and release your shot! Pew pew!”
― Timmy/Tommy's explanation for the slingshot, New Leaf
Slingshots are used to knock objects out of the sky in the series. They are commonly used to pop balloons carrying presents, but can also be used to knock down Pete and Gulliver in some of the games. If the player holds down the 'A' button while using any of the slingshots, the slingshot will not fire but will wait for the player to let go of the 'A' button to then do so.
In New Leaf, the player can pop balloons without needing a slingshot by hitting them with another tool as they ascend or descend over a cliff. This counts towards slingshot-related tasks, such as badges, the Slingshot Sniper Initiative, and collecting the silver and golden slingshots. It is possible to complete all slingshot-related tasks in the game without ever using a slingshot.
In New Horizons, the slingshot has 20 uses before breaking. The slingshot can be crafted using a DIY recipe or bought from a Timmy and Tommy store. Unlike previous appearances, the golden slingshot does not shoot three pellets, has durability, and must be crafted from a DIY recipe obtained by shooting down the present with a golden balloon that appears after popping 300 balloons.
