Glitch

A glitch is a program error or a problem in a game. It usually happens when something in a game is done in a different way than the programmers thought. Usually, glitches are harmless, but some kinds can delete stored data. When a glitch occurs, the screen may turn blank or different colors will pop up, strange sounds appear, or the game will freeze or crash. Most of the glitches in the are not harmful. As an example, one of the glitches, as demonstrated in a posted video, is harmless and can actually make the player's house look better. It can be quite useful, but does not add to the HRA score. Some are merely humorous; another glitch, as found in, allows the player to walk on top of surfaces such as tables. Sometimes, players will encounter a glitch on their own while playing normally. It is very rare for it to happen, but this may cause things like a villager standing on top of the roof of their house, Gracie having a house, the player being able to walk into the ocean, beta fish appear, and so on. This could be a result of a player hacking their game, a faulty game or just a random glitch.

There is a glitch, in which Redd disappears during Sale Day.

Miniature Tree Glitch
The Miniature Tree Glitch is a glitch found in, whereupon for no apparent reason a tree would stop growing. It has been hypothesised that this is caused by a building growing or expanding to a point where there is no gap between said building and a tree. This can be further established by the fact that trees planted with no space between them and a building will wilt. It seems that there is no 'wilted' stage for stages 2, 3 and 4 of tree growth, causing the tree to merely stop growing instead of dying. The disadvantage of this glitch is that it prevents fruit growth on said tree, potentially wasting the player 1,500 Bells every four days. Miniature trees count towards perfect town status, just as normal trees do.

The glitch is best observed near Tom Nook's store.

Lighthouse Glitch
The lighthouse glitch is found in and can only be done over wi-fi. It allows the player to climb on top of the windmill and walk on it. It is possible for up to 4 people to get onto the lighthouse at a time. This glitch can also be performed with a windmill but was discovered with a lighthouse. The glitch is due to an error in the programming that has space for a player to walk on top of the lighthouse.

Money Duplication Glitch
The Money Duplication Glitch is a glitch found in. It allows the player to duplicate any amount of money, without time travelling or hacking/cheating. The glitch was discovered by a YouTube user named 8BITADDICTION. In fact, the glitch works with any item, not just money.

Steps

 * 1) Add money to duplicate to one's pockets. MAKE SURE pockets (including letter space) are less than half full.
 * 2) Save the game.
 * 3) Travel to a friend's town.
 * 4) Drop all of the money on the floor. Ask your friend not to take the money.
 * 5) Head back to the gate.
 * 6) Tell Copper that one wishes to go home.
 * 7) When Copper says 'Understood! I will take care of that, of course! It will take just a brief moment!' and the wi-fi connection sound is heard (a high pitch short tune), press the HOME button on the Wii remote several times.
 * 8) When it works, press Reset.
 * Now, log in as one's character with Rover.
 * 1) Exit the house. Check pockets. If done correctly, one's pockets will be filled with the same amount of Bells that were dropped, over in the town of a friend.
 * 2) Go to said friend's town.
 * 3) All of the money, provided the glitch has worked correctly, and that the trusted friend has not stolen the money, it will be on the floor where it was dropped. Glitch complete.
 * 4) Leave friend's town.

Advantages
No hacking, cheating or time travelling required. This glitch is, as far as anyone knows, is risk-free. Easy way to make Bells. Mr. Resetti will not appear if the glitch is done correctly.

Disadvantages
A trusted friend is required. Money is not considered legitimate amongst players. Requires Wi-Fi Connection.
