Rain Theme

The Rain Theme is a song that replaces all hourly themes in Animal Crossing (GCN) when it is raining in the player's town.

In and later, there is no longer a "Rain Theme", since the later games will always use the hourly music, regardless of weather condition, in a similar way to when it snows or is Cherry Festival day in.

In, the game uses the hourly music, but includes the tinkles and chimes as soon as it starts to rain (since the game uses sequences, banks and wave archives for music). In and later, they also use the hourly music, but they use streams (such as BRSTM on Wii, and BCSTM on 3DS, which is a raw audio format). The hourly music in and  has separate streams for each weather effect, one for clear weather, one for rainy weather and one for snowy weather.
