Tasks the player can partake in include socializing with villagers, collecting items, catching fish or bugs, and paying off their [[home loan]]. The game takes place in real-time, meaning the in-game time of day and year matches that of the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. The time of day and year affects aspects of gameplay such as whether or not shops are open or villagers are awake, seasonal events, and the availability of certain fish, bugs, and items. Up to four players can live in a town, with each having their own house. |

+ | [[File:NL Mayor Welcome.png|thumb|right|Isabelle welcoming the mayor after they first arrive in the town]] | ||
+ | The player moves to town by train and is greeted by [[Rover]], whose questions determine the player's appearance. When the first player arrives in town, they are greeted by [[Isabelle]] and three [[villager]]s, who believe them to be the new mayor of the town; all subsequent players are greeted as standard residents. Isabelle, the mayor's secretary, takes the player to [[town hall]], where she gives the player a [[Town Pass Card]] and tells them to go to [[Tom Nook]] at [[Nook's Homes]] to buy a house. After the player chooses a location for their house, Isabelle tells the player they need to increase their approval rating as mayor, which is done by performing various tasks. When the player's approval rating reaches 100%, the ability to build [[public works project]]s and enact a [[ordinance]] is unlocked. | ||
− | + | ===New features=== | |
− | + | ====Mayor==== | |
+ | As mayor, the player can build [[public works project]]s, which are structures such as bridges, benches, and lights, that can be placed around town. The mayor can also enact a [[ordinance]], which changes an aspect of the town, such as the opening hours of stores or the price of items. Only the first player to move to the town is mayor; all subsequent players are standard residents and cannot perform the duties of mayor. | ||

− | *In | + | *In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', one of Donkey Kong's idle animations is pulling out a blue 3DS XL. Sound effects from ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'', one of the four games, are heard. |
+ | *Unlike {{CF}}, {{NL|short|nolink}} does not have separate American and European localizations for French and Spanish, instead having the European localizations for both regions. As a result, characters are referred to by their European names for a language instead of their American names used in {{CF|short|nolink}}, which were the same as in English for both languages. This name change affected the franchise's marketing for Quebec and Latin America, as well as other titles that did receive separate American and European localizations, such as the [[Animal_Crossing_(series)#Spin-off_titles|spin-off titles]] and {{NH}}. | ||
