Neat mini-game when you don't play for a while...

[Valerie]

I had set the date back on my 3DS in order to catch all the January/ February fish and bugs. Today I set my clock forward to the actual date and got to play a game with Reiji (the Sloth, don't know what his English name is...)



It came down to this: I had 50 weeds. My goal: Pick them as quickly as possible to get a prize.





Then I got my gift!





Pretty neat, eh? Makes not being able to play for a while worth it, I think!

Edit: the piece is also not orderable. Not sure if you can get it any other way (perhaps on grass day?)

Nice! Definitely a cool feature make cleaning up a bit more easy

 

[Liquefy]

I've been purposely not pulling weeds in order to get Lazy to appear. The villagers keep pulling weeds!

 

[Officer Berri]

Hnnng.

I'm going to NEED that item he gave you! It is absolutely beautiful!

NEEEEEED! Dx

 

[taygo]

So if you don't pull weeds he shows up and kinda makes you? Sweet!

 

[JimmyJacobAC]

I've known about this for a while, but never saw any of the furniture. This is definitely good motivation to pick weeds after a long hiatus.

I don't know what it is, but your house looks great! I love the simplicity. That couch is great.

 

[Dustbunnii]

I thought he came and did that for some holiday (like grass day?), but I may be wrong
I really do like that furniture :I but I don't want to time travel or go so long w/o playing just to get him to show up...

I wonder if you get different items every time.

I wonder if you get different items every time.

There's different tiers of performance, and there are multiple items in each tier. Tier A is the best and Tier E (I think) is the worst. Even if you perform the same, you're likely to get a different prize.

 

[MadamSpringy]

That screen is so cute! I wonder what the other items that you can get look like.

Isn't this grass day, but that happens in September

idno

These are the same items you get during grass day, in September. There is a lily record player, a rose chair/sofa, the violet screen (shown in this thread), etc. I have a bunch already from a friend, will try to show it in the live stream tomorrow

Well that's nice that there are multiple ways to do this.

Technically he actually is not making the character do it considering the main player is like the leader of the town.

What a very neat feature!

Eh, Isn't this Grass day? I mean...yea. I dunno about trusting this info. I hate Time Traveling.

No. Grass Day, which is in April in the North American and European versions, does not involve a time limit. Lazy can appear in your town as a Special Visitor, offering a timed mini-game, if you have more than 50 weeds in your town. You can receive hybrid seed bags as a reward, which are not available on Grass Day.

I understand hating time traveling: I normally don't do it. But when I lost my town data, what was most upsetting about losing the town was the fact that I had successfully caught all the catch-able fish/ bugs and seafood.

So I set the date back to January 31st and played from that date forward for about 3 weeks.

Then I set the clock back forward to the current date.

I don't see how doing so makes my information unreliable. What possible reason would I have to lie/ deceive?

I like this mini-game, interesting!
