Music box
The music box is a furniture item in the Animal Crossing series that first appears in Animal Crossing: Wild World. It plays music when interacted with.
Appearances[edit]
In Wild World and City Folk[edit]
In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, the music box is a square box that plays the main theme of Animal Crossing when opened. It is obtained from Katie after returning her to her mother, Kaitlin, in another town. After escorting her back to her mom, she will mail the player a gift, containing one of nine exclusive items, one of which being a music box.
Since May 20, 2014, it is impossible to obtain the music box item in Animal Crossing: City Folk due to the shutdown of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
In New Leaf[edit]
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the music box is a decorative white clam shell that plays a music box version of a K.K. Slider song. It can be obtained from Cyrus after bringing him a giant-clam shell, a K.K. Slider song, and 3,000 Bells. After half an hour, he will return a music box to the player. The player can then put it in a Museum Shop exhibit or in their house.
Players can press and hear the song. It does not repeat, so to hear the song again, they must press again. In addition, much like with stereos, only one music box may play in a room at any one time. If the player activates a music box and then tries to activate another, the previous music box will deactivate itself. However, a music box and stereo can be activated in the same room with no issues.
A music box can be seen in Anabelle, Cally, Diana, and Nana's default houses. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo, Pascal's RV has a "Pondering" music box available for purchase, which costs 3 MEOW Coupons.
In New Horizons[edit]
The music box feature was added to Animal Crossing: New Horizons with the version 2.0 update. Unlike its appearance in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, there are only two music boxes that can play any songs by inserting the song onto the track list instead of being individual furniture items for each songs.
