Islet

An islet, or river island, is a geographical feature consisting of a small island in the middle of a river. Islets have bridges connecting them to each riverbank. These are very rare and only a few towns have one. The length differs in each game. In Animal Crossing, they are very tiny and are not displayed on the town's map. In and  they are large. In City Folk villagers and the player (provided a house was generated) can live on the island, while this is not the case in Wild World.
