Get Cash
Sell fruit, fish, shells, bugs, or other unused stuff to Nook. He’ll only give you 25% of what you paid for the item though.
Maximize your time by not selling cheaper fish. You’re better off throwing it back in the water and fishing for more expensive fish. That way you won’t have to go back and forth between Nook’s and the river/sea so many times.
Send presents to the villagers in your letters and they’ll send you furniture or different kinds of fruit that are not native to your town. They’re worth 500 bells instead of 100, but if you plant them you’ll have many trees with lots of fruits that are worth 500 bells!
Deposit money in your bank account and you’ll earn interest every month. You can also cheat by changing the date and get a lot of money in interest. However, be careful because the town will be full of weeds. If you decide to do it, you might as well do it several times to make it worthwhile.
Shake trees and you’ll find a few bells here and there or even hidden furniture. If the bees come out, they will most likely sting you, but you should try to catch them, as they’re worth 4,500 bells at Nook’s!
Do errands for your neighbors and they’ll reward you with furniture or other objects. You can keep these objects or sell them to Tom Nook for some cash.
Fish at the ocean at night time, when it’s snowing or raining. It’s your best chance to fish a Coelacanth, which is worth 15,000 bells. You also have more chances to catch the Red Snapper and the Knifejaw. These are worth 3,000 and 5,000 respectively.
Hit all the rocks in town once a day. One of them will turn red and spit out money bags. Hit it several times consecutively, and you’ll get more money. You can dig three holes around yourself and the rock so when you hit it you don’t accidentally step back. You have to do this before hitting each rock for the first time though.
When you see “stars” in the ground, use your shovel to dig out a fossil, which you can donate at the museum (for free) or sell it to Nook for big bucks after it’s been identified by Blathers the owl. Sometimes it won’t be a fossil, but you can still sell the Gyroids. Pitfall seeds are worthless though.
When you see a glowing portion of earth, make a hole with the shovel and bury a money bag. In a couple of days, it should grow into a money tree.
You’ll receive money in a letter from your parents on January 1st – It will contain 10,000 bells. You can change the Gamecube’s date back and forth between different years, always on January 1st, and that way you’ll receive a bunch of letters with 10,000 bells. However, there’s some risk. You may lose some of your beloved neighbors, and your town will be full of weeds!
Nook’s Cheats, Codes, and Hints
Nook’s Store Upgrades
Nook will make his store bigger and better the more you shop at it.

Expand your house by paying off your mortgage. When you’re done paying what you owe, go talk to Nook and he’ll ask you if you want the upgrade. Say yes and wait until the next day to see your expanded headquarters.
Restock Nook’s Store
If the store is getting empty and you want more items to shop today, just save the game and then change the date before you restart it. Nook’s store will be full of merchandise all over again.
Restock an Item at Nook’s
If you want an item you just bought to become available at Nook’s again, save your game, change the clock to an earlier or later date, save, and then return to the original date. The item will be at Nook’s again.

Golden Axe

Unlock other special objects by entering code at Nook’s. Read more about this on the “Nook’s Cheats & Hints” page.
Special Visitors
Chip: (6am-6pm June-November) He holds a fishing tourney every Sunday during the months of June and November. He’ll give you a prize if you caught the biggest bass that day (so far). At the end of the day, if you were the winner, you’ll receive a prize on the mail.
Franklin: (3pm to 9pm on Thanksgiving) Find him hiding behind trees and buildings. Give him the forks Tortimer gives you at the Town Hall and he’ll give you special “Harvest” furniture. You can repeat this until you have the whole collection.
Gracie: (6am-6am – 24 hours on a random day) Wash her car by tapping A really fast when she asks you to and she’ll give you one of her unique shirts.
Jack: (6pm Oct. 31 to 1am Nov. 1) Everyone in town will be dressed up like Jack that day, but you have to find the real Jack. He will not chase you, but you’ll have to give him candy you bought at Nook’s during the month of November. He’ll give you “Spooky” furniture. If you’re persistent, you’ll find the whole collection.
Jingle: (Dec. 24 – 8pm to Dec. 25 – 1am) Talk to him several times and he’ll give you pieces of the “Jingle” series furniture. Only trick is…you have to change your clothes each time so he doesn’t recognize you!
Joan: (Sunday 6am – Noon) Buy turnips from her and sell them to Nook any day of the week except Sundays. The prices vary like the stock market, so you may make extra money or lose some. Also, you can buy red turnips from her, which you can plant for a special surprise. Turnips rot after a week, so sell them before that!
Katrina: (9pm – 9pm- 24 hours on a random day) She’ll tell you your fortune. Sometimes it’s nothing important, but sometimes she will tell you something special.
K.K. Slider (aka Totakeke) (Saturday 6pm to Midnight) Watch him play music at the cafeteria. He’ll give you a record after the song is done so you can play the music at home. Find the song list at the bottom of the page.
Mr. Resetti (After You Don’t Save the Game) You should be familiar with him by now, but he shows up every time you forget to save your game before quitting. He’ll be really annoying and will talk and talk until he thinks you’ve understood why it’s important to save.
Nat (3rd Saturday in June, July, August, and September) Nat hosts the Bug Catching Contest. He’ll reward you with gifts each time you bring him the rarest bug. Also, he’ll send you the Bug Trophy if you were able to catch the rarest bug that day.
Saharah: (6am to 6am – 24 hours on a random day) She trades rare and exotic carpets for one of your carpets and some money. The prices go up the more you buy from her, but sometimes it’s worth it.
Snowman: (Dec. 25 to Mid-February) If you notice small balls of snow in the ground you should roll them around to make them bigger. Find another ball and roll it on top of the other to make a snowman. If it has the right proportions, he’ll give you special “Snowman” furniture. If he’s out of proportion, he’ll just complain.
Wendell: (6am to 6am – 24 hours on a random day) When you find him, you’ll have the opportunity to give him fish three times. He’ll give you wallpapers in exchange.
Wisp: (Midnight-3am) He’ll appear in your town every night, and you have to catch him with your net. When you let him go, he’ll let you choose one of several items, including rare furniture and objects.
Other Hints and Secrets
Get NES Games:
There are a few other ways to obtain NES games, but here are a few:
- When you’re done running errands for Nook, you’ll receive a “welcome package” with three items. Two of them are NES games.
- Talk to the neighbors and eventually one of them will ask you when your birthday is, especially if you choose the 2nd talk option once in a while. Tell them and, on your birthday, one of the neighbors will visit with a present for you, a NES!
- When you go to the Island (special GBA connection), give the villager a shovel and he might dig out a NES game. You can then try to bribe him with fruit.
- On Christmas’ Eve, you’ll get a NES game on the mail. Yeay!
Pick a Song from Totakeke
Fill your pockets so you can’t carry any more items. Go to the concert and hear the song. Totakeke (a.k.a. K.K. Slider) will realize you don’t have room to store his music track. Keep coming back with your pockets full and listen to the different songs. When you hear one you like, come back with space in your pockets, request the song, and when he’s done singing you’ll get the copy you wanted.
Talk to the Neighbors
Talk to the neighbors you come across a few times. They might get angry, but you’ll also find out more about them and they might play games with you or ask you to do errands for them so you can get objects as a reward.
Making Mr. Resetti Angry and meeting Don Resetti
Turn off the Gamecube without saving, and Resetti will show up to give you his lecture. Keep doing it and he’ll get even angrier! At some point, his brother Don will be the one lecturing you, and if you insist in not saving (about 60 times), Mr. Resetti will come back and kick out everyone in town to give you a lesson.
Make your Neighbors Angry
Walk into the neighbors and push them around or hit them with the shovel or bug net. They’ll become mad and steam will come out of their heads.
Changing the Clock
You can hold A and B when the Gamecube logo appears before you start any games. There you can change the date and time so you can play on a different date in Animal Crossing. The other option is to start the game and select “Before I go…” You can change the game’s clock here without affecting the Gamecube’s clock and therefore other games. Either way, it’s always best to just play on the current date and time. If you change the clock back and forth you may miss stuff like special objects, so it’s not recommended to disrupt the programmed chain of events in Animal Crossing.
Nature’s Punishment
Play your game at least once a week, or the next time you go back to it, the town will be full of weeds and your flowers may be gone or dying. Same thing will happen if you start cheating by changing the date radically.

Tom Nook as he appears in Animal Crossing: New Horizons | |
First game | Animal Crossing (2001) |
Created by | Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development |
Designed by | Noriko Ikegawa Yoshihisa Morimoto |
Voiced by | Naoki Tatsuta (Dobutsu No Mori) |
In-universe information | |
Species | Tanuki |
Occupation |
Tom Nook, known in Japan as Tanukichi (たぬきち),[1] is a fictional character in the Animal Crossing series who operates the village store (or the Resident Services building in Animal Crossing: New Horizons). He first appeared in the Nintendo 64 game Dōbutsu no Mori, released in Europe and North America on the Nintendo GameCube as Animal Crossing. Nook sells a house to the player at the beginning of each title in the series (with Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: New Horizons being an exception, as Nook sells the player a tent at the start of those games), giving a set mortgage for them to pay and offering to upgrade it after the mortgage is paid off. He has also made several appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series. Nintendo's Treehouse localization members Rich Amtower and Reiko Ninomiya have argued that, in spite of his perceived greed, he is a nice person due to taking the risk of hiring someone who is new to the town.[2]
Concept and characteristics[edit]
Tom Nook is based on the tanuki, the raccoon dog. Rich Amtower and Reiko Ninomiya, members of Nintendo's Treehouse localization team, described him as 'that first boss you ever had', adding that, 'despite him being all business and not always having the time for pleasantries, Nook isn't a bad person; because he hired someone new to town. Due to that involving risk, it shows generosity'. Ninomiya agreed, and both felt that Nook's perceived greed is diminished by the city's price index compared to that of his shop. Amtower jokingly alludes to an 'anti-Nook bias' several times throughout an interview with 1UP.com.[2]

Role in the series[edit]
Tom Nook first appears in the Nintendo 64 title Dōbutsu no Mori (ported to the Nintendo GameCube as Animal Crossing in non-Japanese regions) as the town's main shop owner and continues his job in the next two installments. Nook's role in the series remained virtually unchanged from 2001 until 2012 with the release of Animal Crossing: New Leaf. In addition to being the main shop owner, Nook will also sell the player a house at the beginning of the game for around 19,800 Bells (the in-game currency). Because the player will only have 1,000 Bells in their pocket in Dōbutsu no Mori and Animal Crossing (and no Bells at all in the rest of the main series), Nook will request that the player work in his shop for a bit to pay off some of the debt. The chores Nook assigns the player to do are meant to help them get used to the controls of the game. After planting flowers, writing letters, and talking to villagers, the player is sent off to do whatever they want, but have to pay the remaining amount of their mortgage on their own. Each time a mortgage payment is completed, Nook will upgrade or add on to the player's house, each time putting the player into greater debt to Nook, with the last addition being the most costly.
Nook's store also goes through four upgrades and changes throughout the game. The time of the upgrade depends on how many bells are spent in the store. Eventually his humble 'Nook's Cranny' shack-like store with basic tools and very little objects to buy will become 'Nookington's Department Store'—a large, three story building with a wide variety of items for purchase. It is in this expansion that the player meets his two apprentices, Tommy and Timmy, who run the second floor of the store. In every game, no matter what upgrade the store is on, the items in the store will be changed everyday. This means that theoretically, no two days will ever have the exact combination of items for sale.
Animal Crossing Gamecube Item Codes
- In Animal Crossing, at the end of the month Nook will host a raffle with rare items to win. This was not continued in any sequel.
- In Wild World, with the Nookington's expansion the player meets Harriet, a poodle who will do the player's hair for 3,000 Bells.
- In City Folk, Harriet has moved her shop to the city. With the Nookington's expansion, Nook will randomly ask the player a series of questions. How the player answers could change the store to a former appearance.
- Nook returns in New Leaf. Instead of being the local shop owner, Nook is now in charge of 'Nook's Homes' and instead offers exterior renovations for the player's house. He also will expand the player's house for a price, which increases with each expansion. His apprentices, Timmy and Tommy, now run the town shop by themselves.
- Nook makes a minor appearance in Pocket Camp with the player being able to purchase him to put in their camp for 250 Leaf Tickets (Only available for purchase 45 days after starting the game). He later appeared as a free log-in gift to promote the release of New Horizons. He also appears on the button to buy leaf tickets.
- In New Horizons, Nook and his apprentices Timmy and Tommy offer an island getaway package, and help the player to facilitate the setup and progression of the island; eventually, the player helps Timmy and Tommy to establish the town shop which they again run by themselves. Nook offers the player a new program known as the Nook Mileage program as a secondary form of in-game currency. He can again arrange expansions to the player's house, with the loan amount increasing each time.

In other media[edit]
Tom Nook has made several minor appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series of video games, appearing as various collectibles in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl,[3][4] as well as a background character on the Smashville stage, which is based on the Animal Crossing series.[5] Tom Nook's shop music also features in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as part of 'Town Hall and Tom Nook's Store'.[6] Tom Nook has also been featured in several promotional items, including plush toys.[7]
Reception[edit]
Tom Nook has received mixed reception since his appearance in Animal Crossing. IGN listed him as the ninth most-wanted character to appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. They describe him as devious, diabolical, and sinister, commenting that while he may not be a good fighter due to being from a video game without any fighting, they would enjoy seeing him get beaten up.[8] Another article by IGN compares a talking baton given to the protagonist of Major Minor's Majestic March to Nook, calling it the second only to Nook in annoyance.[9]GameSpy listed Tom Nook as one of their favourite bosses; editor Brian Altano specified that he passionately loves to hate Nook, stating that while he provides appreciated services to the small village, he keeps his reality grounded in that he lives in Nook's town, not his own.[10]UGO.com ranked him the fifth best Animal Crossing character, stating that while Mr. Resetti was an irritant, Tom Nook was a jerk. They added that they love to hate him, jokingly suggesting that he was a 'kingpin'.[11]Junkee also offers a fairly negative assessment of Tom Nook's personality, while also pointing out his transformation over different games in the franchise, and arguing that his personal qualities are not as important as the intrinsically exploitative system he represents and benefits from.[12]

Tom Nook has received some positive reception as well. In the Switch version of Psyonix's Rocket League, the 'Nook' car is an homage to Tom Nook, whose favorite game was Rocket League. In author Katherine Isbister's book, 'Better game characters by design: a psychological approach', she cites Tom Nook as an example of a mentor character, one who indirectly helps players.[13] GamesRadar also listed him as one of the 25 best new characters of the decade, stating that he has earned his place amongst the hearts of gamers and people on the Internet as both a viral meme and a deceptively devious character.[14] In 2012, GamesRadar ranked Tom Nook as the 80th best villain in video games in their 2013 'Top 100', saying although raccoons are 'stripy, furry and cute', 'Tom Nook can go to Hell.'[15] That same year, Complex placed him as the 49th coolest video game villain of all time.[16]
Game-studies scholar Ian Bogost described Nook as central to Animal Crossing's effective depiction of the economics of consumption and debt:
None of the townsfolk ever appear in Tom Nook's shop.. In contrast, the player participates in a full consumer regimen; he pays off debt, buys goods, and sells goods. Tom Nook buys goods, which he converts to wealth. .. While the player spends more, Nook makes more. By condensing all of the environment's financial transactions into one flow between the player and Tom Nook, the game proceduralizes the redistribution of wealth in a manner even young children can understand. Tom Nook is a kind of condensation of the corporate bourgeoise.[17]
