The '''Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection'''{{Note|{{Nihongo foot|ニンテンドーWi-Fiコネクション|Nintendō Wi-Fi Konekushon}}}} (commonly abbrieviated '''Nintendo WFC''') was an online play system incorporated into the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Wii]]. It allows online play on games such as {{WW}} and {{CF}}. {{WW|short|nolink}} was the second DS game released that used the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, the first being ''[[MarioWiki:Mario Kart DS|Mario Kart DS]]''. {{NL}}, like all 3DS games, does not utilize the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Instead, {{NL|short|nolink}} has online services that are powered by its successor, the [[Nintendo Network]]. | The '''Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection'''{{Note|{{Nihongo foot|ニンテンドーWi-Fiコネクション|Nintendō Wi-Fi Konekushon}}}} (commonly abbrieviated '''Nintendo WFC''') was an online play system incorporated into the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Wii]].

The first time this happens, a player will be given their own Friend Code to share with other people. Once some friends have been registered, Copper will give the option of either going to a friend's town, or opening the gate and allowing friends to visit. When a player visits a town, gameplay will stop briefly and all other player's screens will show the character entering the town. The same thing also happens if a player leaves a town. Players cannot enter or leave if one player is having a conversation with an animal or other non-player character. While in the same town, players can chat with each other by entering text, or using [[Wii Speak]] ({{CF|short|nolink}} only). |

If one player resets their system, or disconnects from Wi-Fi for any reason, all other players will be presented with a blue screen saying the connection has been lost, and the game will then reset. Mr. Resetti does not normally appear if the player disconnects from Wi-Fi. |
