Dòngwù Sēnlín features numerous localization changes to items, events, and textures.

Differences from Doubutsu no Mori

Gameplay

The Doubutsu no Mori (left) and Dòngwù Sēnlín (right) typing interfaces.

• The typing interface is changed from the dial interface to a QWERTY keyboard, similar to the international versions of Animal Crossing.

Events

• New Year's Day is renamed to the Spring Festival and now occurs on a varying day from January 21 to February 20, coinciding with Chinese New Year. The Countdown still occurs on December 31.
• White Day and Children's Day are removed.
• Rather than taking place every Saturday in August, the Fireworks Shows start on the day before the Spring Festival and last until four days after the event.
• The Night of the Thirteenth Moon is removed; however, the 100% chance of clear weather on the day the event would occur still remains.
• Copper's Morning Aerobics sessions take place every morning at 6 AM from December 1 to 31 instead of July 25 to August 31.

User interface

The title screen of Dòngwù Sēnlín

• The Nintendo 64 logo animation played when booting up the game is replaced with the iQue Player logo.

• The English "Press Start Button!" text on the title screen in Doubutsu no Mori is now partially in Chinese, reading "按START钮!".
• All town names have 村 (village) appended to them.

Items

• The sprite and icon for the Grab Bag are changed, likely to avoid confusion with the Japanese kanji on the bag.
• The sprites and inventory icon for the carp were colored red.

• The Japanese text on outdoor objects such as Redd's stall at the Fireworks Festival, Katrina's fortune table on New Year's Morning, and the Countdown clock have been changed to Chinese.

Trivia

• The cover for Dòngwù Sēnlín features Blathers, O'Hare, and Maelle, despite them not appearing in the game; they were all introduced in Doubutsu no Mori+.
• The cover also features artwork of Tom Nook from Animal Crossing, where his apron has a leaf design on it, rather than the kanji 店 (shop), as seen in the Japanese games and Dòngwù Sēnlín.
