To play Animal Crossing: Wild World using Nintendo WFC, each player must have the other's friend code (see page 36) in order to visit. This prevents people you don't know from entering your town. Rest assured! However, if you are talking to another player or if you have a message on the menu window open, a friend who's trying to visit you might not be able to join you. A message will appear when this happens, so follow the instructions. When communication ends, the game will save automatically, so do not turn the power off. You can take items that you got in other towns (fruit, fish, bugs, etc.) to your own town. When in another town, you cannot donate items to the museum or create constellations or designs. Q Check out the different features of each town! I was able to connect through Nintendo WFC before, but... One of the reasons that you may not be able to connect to Nintendo WFC is that your user information may have changed. User information can change if: A 1) You have moved to another DS Game Card. The local fruit... Animals that live there... Stuff for sale... 2) Your user information has been deleted from the Nintendo WFC setting options. 3) Your Animal Crossing: Wild World Game Card was inserted in another DS and played. Doing any of the above will cause your user information to change, so you'll have to ask all of your friends on your friend roster to re-register your friend code (see page 36). Tag Mode With Tag Mode, you can interact with other people playing Animal Crossing: Wild World. 1 How to Begin Tag Mode What is Tag Mode? If two players are in Tag Mode, their Animal Crossing: Wild World games can communicate automatically when their paths cross. Please check pages 42-43 for information on how to set up wireless play. First, go to Tom Nook's shop and buy a note in a bottle, write a letter, and release it into a river or on the beach. 2 Save, return to the title screen, and select "Tag Mode" (see page 5). Through Tag Mode... 3 Tag Mode will start. Either tap the Touch Screen or press to end Tag Mode. In Tag Mode, you can close your DS and continue to search for other players. If your battery runs out while you're in Tag Mode, your game will continue from your last save. You might exchange constellations... You might send and receive bottle mail... Residents might move in or out of your town. 4 Once you've successfully met another player, start a new game to see if you have received something. 2 You don't know who will get your bottle mail, so protect your privacy and do not give out personal information such as last name, phone number, birth date, age, e-mail or home address when communicating with others. 3 4 Establishing the DS Wireless Link (DS Wireless Play) Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection This section explains how to establish the link for local wireless play.

The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection allows multiple Animal Crossing: Wild World owners to play together over the internet--even when separated by long distances. To play Nintendo DS games over the internet, you must first set up the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (Nintendo WFC) on your Nintendo DS system. Please see the separate Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection instruction booklet included with this game for directions on setting up your Nintendo DS. To complete Nintendo WFC setup, you will also need access to a PC that has a wireless network device installed (such as a wireless router) and an active broadband or DSL internet account. If you do not have a wireless network device installed on your PC, you can order a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector directly from Nintendo. See the separate Nintendo WFC instruction booklet for more information. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection gameplay uses more battery power than other gameplay. You may prefer to use the AC Adapter to prevent running out of power when using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. You can also play Nintendo WFC compatible games at selected internet hotspots without additional setup. For additional information on the Nintendo WFC, setting up your Nintendo DS, or a list of available internet hotspots, visit www.nintendowifi.com (USA, Canada and Latin America) or call 1-800-895-1672 (USA/Canada only). · Begin with the distance between systems at about 30 feet or less and move closer or farther apart as desired, keeping the signal strength at two or more bars for best results. · Keep the maximum distance between systems at 65 feet or less. · The systems should face each other as directly as possible. · Avoid having people or other obstructions between the DS systems. · Avoid interference from other devices. If communication seems to be affected by other devices (wireless LAN, microwave ovens, cordless devices, computers), move to another location or turn off the interfering device.
