If the player has a second Memory Card, they may use the station to visit other towns using one of two methods. If the second Memory Card has save data, the player will travel directly to the other town. If the second Memory Card does not have save data, but does have at least three free blocks, the player can use it to copy their data, such as their appearance, Bells, and items, in order to travel to a town on a third Memory Card. The player's data will be saved to the second card, which can be inserted into a GameCube with a Memory Card with save data; next, the player will enter the town on the third card.
