Features[edit]

Animal Crossing Calculator has two modes: a standard calculator and a unit converter.

The normal calculator mode
  • Calculator – A basic calculator that can add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers and percentages up to thirteen digits long. If the answer to the typed equation contains all of the same digit (e.g. 111), Tom Nook and balloons will appear on the top screen; if the answer contains only sequential digits (e.g. 123 or 321), Tom Nook and flowers will appear. The calculator keeps a history of past computations, which can be scrolled through with DS L Button.svg and DS R Button.svg.
  • Unit Converter – Can convert the measurements of length, area, weight, speed, volume, temperature, time, and age.
  • Length – Can convert between centimeters, meters, kilometers, inches, feet, yards, and miles.
  • Area – Can convert between square meters, square feet, square yards, square miles, hectares, and acres.
  • Weight – Can convert between grams, kilograms, ounces, pounds, carats, and metric tons.
  • Speed – Can convert between meters per second, meters per minute, kilometers per hour, the speed of light, feet per second, miles per hour, knots, and mach.
  • Volume – Can convert between milliliters, liters, cubic meters, fluid ounces, gallons, and cups.
  • Temperature – Can convert between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and kelvin.
  • Time – Can convert between seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, years, and centuries.
  • Age – Can convert between human, cat, small dog, large dog, hamster, parakeet, rabbit, and horse years.

American English[edit]

Listen to Animalese pronunciation of numbers when you process them and watch for a favorite Animal Crossing character to appear when your results meet certain criteria. Look no further for a fun, but practical, way to experience the charm of Animal Crossing!

  • The "ta-dah" sound that plays during the Nook and balloons Easter egg is the same sound that plays when the player shows off a bug or fish.
  • The sound that plays during the Nook and flowers Easter egg is the same sound as when the player drinks coffee.
  • The sounds that play when the player taps the on-screen buttons are the option menu sounds from the games.
