Perfect town

A Perfect Town refers to player's town being in perfect condition, with many trees and flowers (and in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Public Works Projects) in addition to little weeds or trash. The only way to check a town's status is by checking the Wishing Well (Animal Crossing), talking to Pelly or Phyllis at the civic center (Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk), or Isabelle at the front desk (Animal Crossing: New Leaf) in the Town Hall. The only reasons to get a perfect town are to get a gold watering can, Jacob's Ladders, and in Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, rare mushrooms, other than the satisfaction gained from achieving the feat.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, advice to get a perfect town is given by various special characters in the game. Each quote designates what the quality of the town is.
