Music box

A Music Box is an item obtained from either Katie in and  or Cyrus in. It is a square box that will play the main theme of Animal Crossing when opened.

In and City Folk
In and City Folk, the Music Box is obtained from Katie after returning her to her mother, Kaitlin, in another town. After escorting her back to her mom, she will mail the player a gift, containing one of nine exclusive items, one of which being a Music Box.

Since May 20th, 2014, it is impossible to obtain this item in due to the shutdown of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection



In New Leaf
In New Leaf, the Music Box can be obtained from Cyrus after bringing him a Giant Clam Shell, a K.K. Slider song and 3,000 Bells. After half an hour, he will return a Music Box to the player. The player can then put it in a Museum Shop exhibit or in their house.

Players can hit the A button and hear the song. It does not repeat, so to hear the song again, they should hit the A button again. In addition, much like with stereos, only one Music Box may play in a room at any one time. If the player activates a Music Box and then tries to activate another, the previous Music Box will deactivate itself. However, a Music Box and stereo can be activated in the same room with no issues.

In, some RVs will have a Music Box available for purchase. It costs 3 MEOW Coupons.
