Skip Kapp'n's SongYou can skip Kapp'n's long song on the way to the Tropical Island by tapping the touch screen repeatedly or hitting the B button. Kapp'n will stop singing, admonish your impatience and then take you directly to the island.
Avoid BeehivesIf you'd like to shake trees in peace without the worry of a volatile swarm of bees chasing you and leaving you with a swollen eye after being stung with a terrible wrenching metalic sound, simply open your town's gate. As long as you are in a multiplayer mode, even if no players have entered your town, beehives will not fall from trees,or if you want the beehives ,but not the bees shake a tree and soon as the beehive falls hit the ground and they appear hit start and select "Save and Continue" and the bees will disappear!
Time TravelingYou can change the time and date in your town on the New Leaf main menu screen before you enter your village. You can change the date and time to manipulate what Bugs and Fish are available, make Bells by appreciating your bank deposits over the new year lapse (You recieve interest returns in your bank account), or skip ahead to force house expansions. Time Traveling is technically cheating, but people still exploit it to get ahead in the game.
Quick Method for Infinite BellsYou need two players both with Animal Crossing, one has to have a really strong price for turnips like 500 bells in their game (to be honest any price will do but this makes it quicker) and the other time travels (by setting the 3DS clock) to sunday morning. Now simply buy in the town that's on sunday and go and visit the friend's town and sell there and repeat with new money that you just got from the selling the turnips at like 5 times their normal value and you have a quick method of making huge amounts of bell. Have fun being a bellionaire.
WARNING: Time Travel may lead to lost neighbors and an abundance of weeds that will overtake your town. They are NOT easy to get rid of. It can also take the fun out of the game, but that's up to the player.
Hitting one of the permanent rocks in your village with a Basic Shovelwill produce Bells totaling 16,000. Hitting one of the permanent rocks in your village with a Silver Shovel will produce either 16,000 - 18,000 Bell, or make 8 colored Ores pop out, this can happen randomly on any day from only ONE of the permanent rocks in your village, you can only get Ores or Bells on the day. The Gold Shovel has same effect as Silver Shovel when striking a permanent rock in your village.
Best Selling PricesYou can make most of your money by selling rare and valuable items from Fossils, Fish, Bugs, and other items. But knowing where to sell them might be a little tricky, in Animal Crossing New Leaf you can sell your items at both Re-Tail (Recycle Shop) and Nooklings in the main street area where all your other shops are at. If you take your items to Nooklings you will only be able to sell them at their lowest average price, if you take your items over to Re-Tail (Recycle Shop) you will be able to sell them for a little more than what they are if the price is reasonable, if you set them on auction at the Recycle Shop you can sell them for double their worth, the max amount your villagers will pay for that item depends if it's worth that value or not ie: Say you were to sell Amber which is usually about 1,200 you can double that to about 3,300 bell. the max limit for most rarest items can go for about 9,500 bell, any higher and the villagers may decline from buying it if you are offering it to them when they see it on the stall.
It should also be noted that you can change the price after a villager expresses interest in your item if you did not use this advice initially. The moment you see them take interest, go to your item and simply increase the price times 4 minus 1 bell. [EX: Item is offered for suggested 400 bells and you are selling it for less than 1,599 bells (400 * 4 = 1,600 - 1 = 1,599).
You can also sell your items directly to Re-Tail (Recycle Shop) by talking to Reese, she can take just about any or all items you want to sell, and they usually sell a lot higher than what you can get from Nooklings. Any rare items such as Silver and Gold Tools will only sell for about 150 Bells.Reese may decline buying fake items such as paintings and sculpts you may have obtained from Crazy Redd's store which appears as a tent on certain days inside your village. Reese will offer to trash these fake items for free, or you can place them in your own trash bins if you have them in your village.
Trash and Lost ItemsUnlike in previous Animal Crossing games, where you had a single dedicated recycle bin found inside the Civic Center, in New Leaf you can place trash cans in your village through Public Works, which cost 53,000 bells. Any items you throw into the trash are permanently gone forever. Your Lost and Found items can be obtained from the Police Box by picking them up from the row of desks. Booker stands watch over lost and found items and you are free to take them as you wish. In a dream at the House of Dreams you cannot pick up these items from the Police Box, nor can you pick them up while over in someone else's village if they've invited you over. If you don't have a trash can, you can have Reese dispose of the trash for a fee (or you can mail trash to villagers to avoid the fee).
Free FurnitureIf you go through a neighbors drawers, vanity, anything that qualifies as a storage unit, they may actually give you a piece a furniture for free. They will say something along the lines of not needed it anymore and simply give it to you.

Easter Eggs
- Magic Rocks
Like in the previous Animal Crossing games, there is a rock in each town that, if you hit it with a shovel or axe, gives out money. It only does this once per day, of course, but you can get up to 16,000 bells if you hit it enough. Every day there will be an extra rock in your town. Hit it with a shovel and it will break and reveal a different mineral. You can take these to Cyrus (once he wakes up) and use them as an additional way to make your furniture different. Or you can just sell them. Once you have the silver shovel, you have a chance of making gems come out of the money rock instead of bells. Also, you can take 3 gold gems to Cyrus and he'll make you a random piece of a special gold furniture set.
Secrets
- Hit Balloon Presents with Net
If ballooned presents come from the coastal side of town, go to the cliff the rest of town is on. Before the balloon reaches the cliff, hit it with your net. Also, if the present comes from the other side of the town, as the balloon reaches the cliff it will lower allowing you to hit as well. - Easier bug and fish catching!
When hunting for a certain type of catch, such as sharks or palm tree bugs, this trick will help. Search the area where you are looking for the creature, and if it isn't there hit start and save, but continue playing. This will reset the bug and fish spawns in your game, and it only takes a few seconds. - Avoid Bee Stings Easily
To easily avoid being stung by a bee, simply press 'Start' and select 'Save and Continue.' This will refresh the environment and cancel the flying bees, avoiding the need to run into a building or to try and catch them. The beehive will still be on the ground after the save completes. - Balloon Frequencies
Whenever the time on the clock ends in 4 (i.e. 12:34 or 8:54), a balloon may appear on one of the sides your town. This means you can get up to 6 balloon presents an hour. You must be outside for the balloon to appear. - Avoid Triggering Beehives in Trees
To shake trees for money and furniture safely without fear of getting attacked by bees, go to the Train Station and open your train gate to visitors. Beehives will not spawn when your train gate is open. - Skip Kapp'n's Song
While traveling to or from the Tropical Resort, while Kapp'n is singing tap the the B button rapidly. He'll suddenly stop singing and say a few things and then drop you off. This saves a lot of time. - Extra item space
Whenever you're full of items in your inventory, you can store your items inside letters, preventing you from having to come back to get whatever you missed. This gives you 10 extra item spaces, handy for selling your bug/fish load from the island. - Change the Club LOL Gyroids
If you go into Club LOL during the morning or afternoon before the show you can walk up on the stage. If you click A on one of the Gyroids you can choose to swap it with one in your inventory. This can give a new back beat to some of KK's songs while he is DJing or playing guitar!
