Gameplay

Gameplay of Animal Relay

In Animal Relay, the player must scan three Character Cards. The scanned characters then team up for a relay race against against another team of three characters. Based on the combined stats of the three chosen characters, the player's team finishes the race in a predetermined amount of team. If both teams have the same characters, the rival team always wins.

There are three difficulty levels that determine the rival team's speed: "Slow", "Average", and "Fast". The amount of time the rival team takes to complete the race is random. If the player's team wins the race, the game gives the player a password.

The North American versions of Animal Relay feature a pseudo-multiplayer mode where the player scans the characters for both teams. No passwords are given in the multiplayer mode.

Rival team characters

The characters on the rival team and the time it takes the team to complete the race are predetermined for each difficulty in each version of the game. Even if the player chooses one of these characters as their teammate, that character will still appear on the rival team:

A

• Slow — Tom Nook, Pete, Jingle (18.70 seconds)
• Average — Bea, Valise, Sprocket (16.70 seconds)
• Fast — Twiggy, Mint, Peaches (16.70 seconds)

B

• Slow — Kapp'n, Mabel, Katrina (18.58 seconds)
• Average — Chevre, Bob, Marcy (16.70 seconds)
• Fast — Limberg, Hazel, Hank (16.70 seconds)

SP

• Slow — K.K. Slider, Sable, Chip (18.81 seconds)
• Average — Claude, Emerald, Leigh (16.81 seconds)
• Fast — Candi, Sally, Gulliver (15.73 seconds)

Passwords

Each version of Animal Jumprope has three passwords: one for each difficulty level. If one of these passwords is sent in a letter to any villager, the player receives a letter in return from Tom Nook that contains an item.
