| − | [[File:NH Island Tune Layout.jpg|thumb|The layout of a town/island tune, as seen in {{NH|nolink}}. Given its simplistic nature, there are no sharps or flats on normal notes.]] | + | [[File:TownTune BasicLayout.png|thumb|The layout of the town tune]] |
| − | The '''town tune''' (known as the '''island tune''' in {{NH|short}}) is a one to sixteen-note melody that plays in the player's [[town|town/island]] in all ''[[Animal Crossing (series)|Animal Crossing]]'' games. Each game has a default town/island tune, and it can be customized by the player. | + | The '''Town Tune''' is the small melody that plays whenever the player talks to a [[character]], and also the small melody that plays whenever the Clock Tower bell ring. A town tune can range anywhere from 1 to 15 notes, as well as the ability to choose one that will play a random note. In the original {{PG}}, players could change the town tune by facing the Billboard next to the [[Post Office]]. In {{WW}} and {{CF}}, the player can change the town tune by going into [[Town Hall]] and then the civic center. Players can talk to [[Pelly]] or [[Phyllis]], select Town Tunes, and adjust the notes. |
| | | | |
| − | A town/island tune is represented by frog icons for each eighth note. They can be set to the natural pitches between ''G3'' and ''E5'' (almost two octaves), a question mark representing a random sharp note, a dash which sustains the previous note, and a sleeping frog representing a rest.
| + | Town tunes can also be played on instruments that can be bought in [[Tom Nook]]'s. If music is playing at the same time, the instrument plays at the same speed. |
| | | | |
| − | The town tune is played in the following situations:
| + | Sometimes when town tunes are played while talking to a character it can tell the player a little about that [[villager]]'s personality. |
| − | *When the player speaks to a character for the first time since entering the area, the town tune plays. Each character plays a unique variation of the town tune with instruments and timing that reflect their personality and size.
| |
| − | *At the beginning of each hour, bells chime to the melody of the town tune.
| |
| − | *When someone enters or exits a building with a door, bells jingle to the melody of the town tune, sped up.
| |
| − | *In games prior to {{NL|short}}, when the player interacts with an [[instrument]] [[furniture]] item, the tune is played by the instrument at the same speed as any music playing in the room.
| |
| − | *When a villager is happy, they sing the town tune.

| + | Cranky villagers may make the tune sound somewhat strange, peppy villagers will make the tune sound bouncy and normal villagers will take the player's tune and make it perky. In Animal Crossing, sometimes villagers will tell the player to change the town tune, and some of them might refer the Town Tune as "the board with the little froggies on it." |

| |
| − | In all [[First generation|first-generation ''Animal Crossing'' games]], the town tune is customized via a board outside the [[post office]]. | |
| | | | |
| − | The ''Animal Crossing-e'' and ''Doubutsu no Mori Card-e+'' collections of [[e-Reader card]]s contain [[e-Reader card#Town Tune Card|Town Tune Cards]], which feature an arrangement of a [[List of K.K. Slider songs|K.K. Slider song]] in the form of a town tune. In {{PG}} and {{DnMe+}}, the player has the option to scan a Town Tune Card at the board outside the post office, which sets the town tune to the one on the card. Additionally, in {{DnMe+|nolink}} only, scanning a Town Tune Card at the board allows the card's song to be requested from [[K.K. Slider]].

| − | *''Hey, you know about the town melody bulletin board over by the post office? That's where you can go to change the town tune. Anyone can do it. That's why it's always changing, probably. I hear that song all the time, like when the clock chimes. It's <Town>'s own way of rocking out! <Player>, you oughta try changing it around, too, <catchphrase>. You look like a musical soul.''
| + | fffcddc_<br /> |
| − | *''I wonder why nobody's changed the town tune lately. Is this town slowly becoming less funkified? I mean, anybody can do it! All you gotta do is go to the big bulletin board by the post office and mess with it. You're welcome to change it, <Player>. You look like you got groove. But don't do it unless you're serious! It's the town's theme song, after all, so it better be something that rocks the house, <catchphrase>!''
