In
Group stretching was added to in the 2.0 Free Update. The player can start group stretching by interacting with a special in the plaza outside Resident Services. The Tape Deck will move around during special holidays for the player to interact, though it cannot appear during the Countdown. During group stretching, both villagers and special characters will participate, and the player can perform stretches with either button or motion controls. Unlike its original appearance, villagers partaking in the stretching will not panic if they go off-sync with the group, but will instead look around as if to make sure they're doing the same thing as the others.

When having multiple players over, only the host can initiate the group stretching, and all players must participate. All players must also be Best Friends with the host. They are all brought to the plaza to join along, and, once the session has ended, they return to their previous locations.

Special rewards will be given to the player after doing a group stretch once per day.
