On Groundhog Day in Animal Crossing, Tortimer appears on a podium in front of the wishing well beginning at 7 AM, while four villagers stand by in anticipation of Mr. Resetti's appearance. At 8 AM, Resetti reluctantly appears as the "groundhog" and announces that spring is coming early. Beginning at 9 AM, Tortimer will give the player one of three models based on different types of flowers—the cosmos model, pansy model, or tulip model—each of which having three color variations, for a total of nine items. Only one flower model can be obtained per player.
