Timer

The Timer is a tool introduced in, and appears in all subsequent games. It allows the player to set a timer for 3, 5, 10, and 15 minutes. The timer comes in one form and, unlike most tools, no other variations are available.

Usage
The timer is most useful during online play, where it can be used to hold competitions amongst friends and visitors. The timer will track how many fish, insects and (in only) how many deep sea creatures have been caught by each player during the allotted time. In, only the player who sets the timer may control it. In, any player has the ability to stop the timer and the alarm will sound even if the timer is buried in the ground. In both games, Brewster will ask players to turn off their timers before K.K. Slider's live show begins.

In New Horizons
Unlike most other tools in the game, the timer has unlimited uses and will never break.
