Animal Crossing Cheats Codes FAQs & Hints for Gamecube page 3

Take several pieces of fruit and plant them on your island. When they grow into trees, do not shake the fruit off. Instead, let them stay there so that during the hours of 7 p.m. and 8 a.m., you can go to the island and catch beetles that are attracted to the fruit. Since there are only three to five trees for them to crawl on, the odds of a beetle appearing will increase significantly. Each beetle is worth at least 1350 Bells, except the Drone Beetle. You can catch thousands of Bells worth of beetles. However, if you shake the fruit off the trees, the beetles will not appear.

Plant a pear tree on the island. Let it grow then return with your net only after 5:30. Make sure it is not raining. Go to the pear tree and look for the Evening Cicada. It is worth 850 Bells. After you catch one, go to another panel and immediately go back. There will be another keep. Catching them until your inventory is full. You can make up to 70,000 Bells in one hour.

Fishing for Money
Get a fishing pole, and on a rainy day, go to the ocean and catch a fish that is worth 15,000 Bells. it takes time to see the big fish, but he will be there. You can also catch an orange fish worth 3,000 Bells, and a Barred Knife Jaws worth 5,000 Bells. If you catch a Sea Bass, throw it back, and keep fishing until you catch the good ones.

Another fish to catch is the Large Char. It is worth 10,000 Bells. You can catch those at the waterfall or at different places for different people. If you see a big shadow in the water, it is a fish worth 10,000 to 15,000 Bells. Play the game after it is dark and go to the waterfall. There will be a fish called a Large Char which sells for 10,000 Bells each. They are common to catch, and you can make about 100,000 Bells in about five hours.

Go down to the shore and start fishing. If you catch a Sea Bass, throw it back because it is worthless. If you catch the really big fish that sells for 15,000 Bells, give it to the Museum. This will increase the chances of you catching it again.

GBA Fishing
This trick requires a Game Boy Advance. Link your Game Boy Advance into the Gamecube and go to the island with only a fishing rod. Go there only to fish, and only keep Red Snappers, Knifejaws, and Coelacanths. Throw back all Sea Bass and put all the Boots you get in the beach house. It is possible to make 100,000 Bells in one hour.

Dig it Up
If you look on your map, you will see a flashing, golden spot somewhere. If you can find the location, dig there to receive 1,000 Bells. If you do not dig there every day, the spot will disappear. Eventually, the spot will become a hole. Plant a money bag and eventually a Money Tree will grow from the golden spot. If you plant a shovel at the golden spot, eventually a Golden Shovel Tree will grow. The Golden Shovel Tree is the only way to acquire the Golden Shovel, which can be used (dig with it at the golden spot to receive more than 1,000 bells - or sold.

If you look around your town in every acre, you will eventually find a flashing golden spot in the ground. If you find the location, dig there to receive 1,000 Bells. If you have saved over 99,999 Bells in your town, you will get a separate bag filled with 30,000 bells so you can keep saving up to 99,999 Bells. Each time you get up to 99,999 Bells, you will get a separate bag of 30,000 bells which lowers your cash to about 70,000 Bells. Do not worry, even when it shows the separate bags your items screen states you only have 70,000 Bells, whenever you go back to Tom Nook's shop your money will be the 30,000 Bell bags plus what the game says you have saved in your items screen.

Now, instead of burying the 1,000 Bells, bury the 30,000 Bells. When the tree grows, there will be a total of three 30,000 Bell bags in it. Shake that tree. This will add to your total bells in the items screen. Note: If you save too much Bells, your item screen will fill up with the 30,000 Bell bags. You may want to store some of the bags inside your house. If you do not have 99,999 Bells saved, you can go to your items screen, put the hand to the money, and click it. Select 10,000, 1,000, or 100 bells and you can bury those also.

More Rocks
Find a rock that turns red when you hit it. Dig two holes in a 'V' shape. Have the bottom point on the 'V' as the rock and the two other points at the holes that you dig. The holes keep you from moving backwards from the recoil. You can hit the rock as fast as possible. It is possible to get about 13,000 Bells per day by doing this.

$100 a Pear
If you get your item screen with three pears, sell it to Tom Nook. He will give you 100 Bells for each one.
