List of references

Animal Crossing features in a number of Nintendo games, making cameo appearances in games such as Super Smash Bros. Brawl and WarioWare: Smooth Moves.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
In 'Super Smash Bros. Melee, three trophies (Mr. Resetti, Tom Nook, and Totakeke) from the Animal Crossing series are obtainable. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a wider variety of Animal Crossing trophies are obtainable, along with music, stickers, and even a stage appear. On the Animal Crossing stage, Smashville, red balloons float around with food, a referance to floating presents. A new item is also introduced, the Pitfall Seed, which can be thrown and trap enemies in a hole. Mr. Resetti also appears as an assist trophy, where he starts yelling at players, much like when the player resets in an Animal Crossing game.

Minigame
During the 9-Volt level in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, one mini-game involves the player controlling an character (either a male or female, depending upon the player's gender). The player must pull up the wii remote in order to catch a fish from the river. There are three difficulty stages to this game-


 * Easy There is one fish in the river.
 * Intermediate There is one fish in the river that takes a long time to tug on the bait.
 * Hard There are two fish in the river.

All fish from Wild World are potential catches in this minigame. Failure to pull up the fishing rod will result in the player losing a life.

Inconsistencies with Animal Crossing: Wild World
Despite being an obvious reference to Animal Crossing, there are a number of inconsistencies with the game-


 * Fish that cannot be found in rivers may be caught, one example being the Football Fish.
 * Lilies can be seen in the river; this is an -only feature, and is not present in Wild World.
 * The male character's hat has green horns that match the pattern of the hat- no matter the pattern in Wild World, the horns will always be grey.
 * Every time the game is played, the fish pulls down the bobber immediately. Although this can happen in-game, it is very unusual, and certainly does not happen all the time.
 * The music playing in the background is from.
 * When the fish is caught, a generic 'success' noise is played, rather than the Animal Crossing 'success' noise.

'Silhouette' Minigame
In one minigame in the Ashley level, a player has to rotate a silhouette of an object in order to work out what the object is- after a time, they are given a seletion of objects that it could potentially be, usually all quite similar in shape.

Sometimes, a thin version of the typical gyroid may show up- objects similar to it in shape include a cacti and an eraser.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
In Phantom Hourglass, the Postman asks Link not to shoot him down with a slingshot. This could be a reference to Pete in Wild World.

Kirby Superstar Ultra
In Kirby Superstar Ultra, there is a subgame called "The Great Cave Offensive". The objective of it is to escape with the most items possible, and some of these items are references to other games from Nintendo. One of these items is the Gold Watering Can, an obvious reference to the Golden Watering Can.

Wii Music
The Animal Crossing theme and K.K. Blues (known as Animal Crossing -- K.K. Blues) both appear as songs. The descriptions are for the Main Theme and K.K. Blues respectively; "The cats, dogs, and others in the world of Animal Crossing know this melody. It's one of Nintendo's cutest tunes, so play it with a song in your heart!" and "If you've got the blues, this tune by the musical pooch from Nintendo's Animal Crossing series is just what you need. Play it with soul!"

Wii Fit +
In Wii Fit + there is a game called Segway® Circuit. The player has to stop moles from taking beach balls with a pet. The moles looks resemble Mr. Resetti.
