Sometimes at the top of the screen is a balloon. Use your slingshot to shoot it down for items.
Coconuts
If you find a cocunut on the beach go over to a tree by the beach cut it down dig it up and bury the cocunut. Then in a few days it will grow. Repeat this and get a coconut orchard, then eachtime u get all the cocunuts go and sell them for 500$ each.
Brewster: Become friends
Keep buying coffee from Brewster at the cafe every day until he begins taking to you in a more friendly manner.
Crazy Redd: Entering his tent
To enter Crazy Redd's tent you must give a password the first time and become a member. You can usually find the password by talking to some of the villagers.
Crazy Redd: Detecting forged items
Buy a painting from Crazy Redd, then immediately check the catalog at Nook's shop. If the painting is listed in it, give it to Blathers to be appraised. If the painting is not listed in the catalog, it is a forgery. Sell it to Tom Nook instead of getting it appraised first, which will lower the selling price.
Go up to the item and press A. Crazy Redd will tell you how much it costs. If there is a thought bubble over his head, and he says it "is a very nice item", "it took ol' Redd a long time to get his hands on that!", "a lot of wheeling and dealing", "when it comes to items for Crazy Redd's family, I won't stop 'til I get it!", or "I'm gonna offer it to you for only Bells!", then the item is fake. Pay attention, because after he says these lines he will only say he had another cousin eyeing it. If an item seems very cheap, such as a few thousand Bells (for example, 2,800), then do not buy it, as the item is most likely fake. Note: This may not work if you do not buy the membership, because he only calls you family if you buy it. It is worth a mere 3,000 Bells.

Cause all the mail to be sent
Normally, the mail will only come at 9am and 5pm daily. However, there is a way to make the mail come whenever you want. When you order an item from the catalog, or when you or one of your villagers sends a letter, it becomes "pending to be sent" at the post office. However, the post office can only hold ten letters as "pending" at a time. If more than ten letter are sent, all the mail will come. So, in order to cause the mail to come whenever you want, simply send letters to one of your villagers or another character in your house until there are more than ten total letters waiting to be sent. This is a great way to get items from the catalog whenever you want.
Won't Take Back
If you buy some thing from tom nook or mable they will not put it back in their store so be carful that you want to give back what you give back or you won't be able to get it again unless (from tom nook) you order the item but this will take a while to arrive.

Block Resetti
In front of your house, where Resetti usually appears, drop multiple items (it can be anything) on the ground (multiple items are not necessary, but you should in case you put it in the wrong spot). After you do this, you may turn the game off without saving as you please, as long as you keep the items on the ground there. Resetti will not be able to come to the surface and nag you, blocked by the items.

Magic Rock Money: Everyday, there's a certain rock that you have to hit with an ax or shovel. One should have money bags popping out. They get larger and larger. Eventually it wears out. A timer of 5 seconds starts. It's your limit. I make 100-5,000 bells a day with this trick! Note: It only works once a day.

Go to friends houses in other towns and collect as much fruits as you can
carry, then plant the fruits all over your town. After a while you will have fruit
trees from different towns. You can sell them to nook and they will be 500 bells
instead of the usual 100 bells from your usual fruit. The fruit will also grow back.
If you get a different hair style everyday at the Shampoodle, then you will be introduced to new styles.
Every day around five pm Pete the mail carrier will be in the sky. Shoot him down with your sling shot and he might give you a prize.
Go to the town hall and ask about environment - when you do there will be a comment and you can fix it. Then if you get a perfect environment for so many days you will get something golden.
When you see the walrus around, he is always starving, so give him fish (that is his favorite food). He will love it and give you some wallpaper.
During the flower fest you can win and get the trophy by having the best flower garden, but you can cheat a little by running over other flowers or picking them up and using them as your own.

If you want to see if Resetti is going to get you, then try to get in your house. If it won't let you in you're in trouble! But if not you're OK.

Go to the post office in town and deposit 1000 bells, save, turn off the DS, then set your year to 2099, save and reload the game, you will have acquired about 70000 bells interest. Save again and reset the DS calendar back to 2007, reload and save at the year 2007, repeat this process, and every time you will further receive 99,999 bells per time. However, every time you do this the town becomes overgrown with weeds. Happy de-weeding!

When you use Action Replay DS too much on the game, Nintendo will send you a letter with a present in it. The letter is completely blank. The letter also comes with a present. The present is red tulip furniture. The red tulip furniture is glitched. If you put it in your house, the furniture will disappear and you can never use the spot the glitched item was in again. It is best not to use the red tulip furniture, otherwise, I recommend you restart your town.

Money Tree:
Grab a bag of money. Dig a hole and bury the money. In a couple of days there will be a Money Tree. The higher amount of money you plant the more money the tree will grow a higher amount.
100 Bells = 100 Bell Tree
200 Bells = 200 Bell Tree
500 Bells = 500 Bell Tree
1,000 Bells = 1,000 Bell Tree... etc.

When shaking trees, you might encounter bees! That's what I always say. When a honey comb nest falls from a tree, a swarm of bees will appear. Quick! Run! No, they'll catch you anyways. Now you have a swollen eye. Ew. If you don't have insurance, or enough money, you can't buy medicine to fix your eye. When you talk to people, they want to get away from you. So to save money, and friends, quickly save the game. Play the game again and your eye is back to normal!

When shooting balloons out of the sky, occasionally spaceships will appear, shoot this down and talk to the disgruntled spacemen. They will complain about their broken ship, so you have to search your town finding 5 various cogs / parts before they depart - but not without a parting gift! It will be a common item, however they will claim that it is rare and valuable also, after you have shot down 16 items flying above your town, a balloon will come by holding a golden tool box, DON'T MISS IT! This is the legendary 'golden slingshot', and if you use this, three pebbles will be shot at 3 different angles, making your K.O rate increase!

When you're out shaking trees for items, beware the swarm of bees! Or better yet, quickly go onto your menu and grab your bug-catching net! Then quickly swing towards the angry bees and... presto! A bee! And no stingy face either. This doesn't always work though, but you can either donate the bee to the museum or sell it for roughly 2,500 bells! That's compensation enough!

Grab your towns native fruit and get the same amount of neighbors you have. Send a letter to each of your neighbors and attach the fruit to each letter. A couple days later check your mail. There should be a letter from all or most of your neighbors containing a fruit from a different town or a clothing or furniture in it. It helps if you say something like, "You are nice!!" or, "I love you".

Tired of having a silent house? Well, I have got the answer! First time skip to any Saturday 8:00pm, (to time skip; save your Animal Crossing, turn your DS back on, but go onto the little square at the bottom of the screen. Go into the calendar and change the date a couple of days forward and the time, if you go forward more than a month then your town will become overrun with weeds). Now go into the cafe in the bottom of the museum and you will see a dog called K.K. slider. Talk to him and ask for a surprise. He will sing a song and you will get that song in your pocket as a musical note. Go back to your house and put the song into your radio. TA-DA! YOUR HOUSE WILL BE FILLED WITH MUSIC!!!

Don't skip forward to 2099 to get bells because your catalogue won't work afterwards. Nook will say that the catalogue is booked up at the moment. A way to make your catalogue work is to buy three packs of paper, write letters to anyone you want on all the pieces of paper and the next day your catalogue will work!!!

Have you heard of the cheat where on Animal Crossing: Wild World you set the date to 2000, save the game, set the date to 2099 and in your mailbox there's 99,000? Well... DON'T DO IT! Why you ask? Well, A. It doesn't work. B. Your town gets full of weeds. C. Most of your residents will have moved away. So, don't bother! I hope this advice is helpful to you.

If you have a coconut don't bother wasting it by planting it next to your house to be cool. They need water so I recommend planting it right next to a beach but not next to a wall or another tree. Believe me I have made over 1 million bells by just selling coconuts!
