What’s your favorite island minigame, and which do you like the least? My favorite is probably the flower arranging one and my least favorite is the hardest balloon one because of all of the pitfalls.
My favorite minigame for the overall atmosphere is the Evening Firefly one. It's just so relaxing and peaceful. My favorites games for medal grinding are the Giant Dragonfly, Elite Scavenger Hunt and Elite Ore-Hunter tours. I think they have the best medal vs time ratio and they are fun.
I never did any of the diving tours because I don't like diving that much, so they would probably be my least favorite.
to be honest, i haven’t played new leaf in ages and so i had to google what tours there were again but from what i remember, i always enjoyed the shark-battle, gardening, item-matching, hide-and-seek and scavenger tours! as for ones i didn’t like all that much, i usually avoided the labyrinth and harder tours aha.
The balloon one was my favorite especially with friends. When I heard them yell (because they fell in), I would run over and screenshot it. Good times. I also liked the pico hammer one where you beat the heck outta the cornimer robot.
I think the labyrinth is the least I liked? Man, I don't remember.
My favorite game is definitely the Giant-Dragonfly Tour. It rewards great medals, it's pretty easy, and it involves giant dragonflies... what more could anyone ask for? I also like the Tuna-Kahuna and Shark-Battle tours. Honestly, I will only ever bother with the bug catching and fishing tours. I tried the advanced level balloon popping tour once and vowed to never do it again. And I definitely won't ever touch anything diving-related with a ten-foot pole.
My favorites would probably be the Fishing Tours, the one with the hammer, and the balloon popping one. I feel like the last two have a really fun pace to them.
Labyrinth (except the hardest one), Scavenger Hunt, Hide and Seek and the Fishing tours in general.
Worst for me were definetly the diving tours, as they didn't give you enough time since swimming is so slow and the creatures disappeared so easily. You basically had to rely on your luck to find a creature and for it to not be on a place where it will easily escape.
I think my favorite would have to be the ore-hunter tour, though I do also like the scavenger hunt, labyrinth, and hide and seek ones. The bug-hunting tours are also fun, especially the firefly one. My least favorites would probably be the fishing ones since its so much harder to not pull the fishing rod up early and lose the fish when under pressure.
