Version DifferencesA re-release of a remake of a re-release. We need to go deeper.Debug Mode#
|
This page or section needs more images. |
|
This needs some investigation. |
The game has a debug mode, called "zuru mode" in the code (meaning 'cheat mode' in Japanese), with two different Modes. Mode 1 enables turning on/off many overlays of read-only technical values related to gameplay. The full debug mode, mode 2, provides the ability to change values and also add items/money to the current game.
When zuru mode is activated, the letter "D" will appear in the top-right corner of the screen. In mode 1 the letter is yellow, and in mode 2 the letter is green.
Activating#
Mode 1#
To activate mode 1 on a regular game disc, enter the following code on Controller 2 on the start screen before a game is loaded:
- L + R, then while holding both press Z
- D-Up
- C-Down
- C-Up
- D-Down
- D-Left
- C-Left
- C-Right
- D-Right
- A + B
- Start
(If this code looks familiar, it was also used in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for that game's crash debugger.)
Entering the code while already in mode 2 will display a debug output for the button combination, tracking the status of the user's progression through the button code.
Mode 2#
Mode 2 can be activated in 2 ways:
- All the time (no action required): set the disc ID version field to 0x99.
- Enable & disable by inserting and removing Controller 2 when the disc ID version field is between 0x90 and 0x98
It works on all versions - the North American, European, Japanese (both versions), and Australian games can be enabled in this way.
The disc ID version field is byte #7 (0x00000007) of the ISO/GCM file.
- For use in an emulator modify the ISO file with a hex editor.
- For Nintendont, edit the ISO
- For use on a console, use the Action Replay code below:
The following Action Replay code sets the disc ID version field:

Controller 2 - Mode 1#
Most buttons, when pressed once, will show or hide a debug display.
- A Lots of details related to the current acre and your position inside of it
- DPad-Left Unknown values on the left, the ... and letters seem to represent the players state,
- 'T' appears on the title screen, coincidence?
- 2 unknown values
- 'D' Data Loading? occurs during acre changes, moving between museum rooms
- 'P' The most common, seems to be a semi-paused state maybe so that some things don't happen in this state.
- occurs when item screen is open, pulling weeds, on the boat to the island etc.
- L observed only on the title screen so far.
- DPad-Right a few unknown values
- DPad-Down Famicom File ID?
Controller 2 - Mode 2#
- R changes the game speed rather than displaying something on-screen.
With the Item Screen Open
- C-Up see Controller 2 - Mode 1 (above)
- C-Down gives you one Net, Axe, Shovel, and Fishing Rod
- C-Left increases your money by 1,000 Bells
- C-Right fills your inventory with 30,000-Bell bags.
- Also turns on C-Right Mode 1 View, press C-Right again to turn off
Controller 2 also has two-button combinations, all of which involve holding L, R, or Start.
- Holding R and pressing D-Pad Down, which pauses and unpauses the game.
Other button combinations open Memory editors, Editors are navigated using the D-Pad to scroll up and down between items, and left and right between possible values.
- holding L and tilting the C-Stick left twice opens the "S(SREG)" editor
- holding L and tilting the C-Stick left again flips to the next page
- holding R and pressing Start twice opens the "H(HREG)" editor
- holding R and tilting the C-Stick left again flips to the next page
The editor closes when there are no more pages or when a different button combo starts (e.g., holding R and pressing Start once).
The "H(HREG)" editor, can be used to activate a debug controller input display by navigating to item 47 and setting its value to nonzero.
Controller 3 - Mode 2#
Controller 3 features an item select that can spawn a variety of items into your pockets:
- Pressing Start toggles the debug item spawner on and off.
- When enabled, the text ナシ (nothing) appears on screen.
- D-Pad Up cycles through the categories
- FTR (furniture),
- PPR (paper),
- MNY (money),
- TOL (tools and umbrellas and junk),
- FSH (fish),
- ELS (other junk),
- CPT (carpet),
- WLL (wallpaper),
- FOD (food),
- MSC (music),
- DST (calendar/diary things),
- LOT (raffle tickets),
- IST (insects),
- HPY (grab bags)
- KAB (turnips).
- D-Pad Left/Right change the number.
- Holding B while changing the number will increase/decrease the number by 10.
- Holding A while changing the number will increase/decrease the number by 100.
- D-Pad Down puts one of the selected item in your pocket.
- Pressing X will fill in your entire catalogue.
- In Doubutsu no Mori e+, pressing Y will cycle your Kanji proficiency level between the different modes.
When playing NES games, a few debug controls will be enabled on Controller 1:
- L + R - Freezes the emulation when held. If a certain debug flag is set, this will display the NES game file menu.
- L + C-Stick Left/Right - Slows down or speeds up the emulation depending on how much the C-Stick is pressed.
- L + A/B - Toggles a turbo controller function for the button pressed.

Unobtainable NES Games#
The Forbidden Four#
In addition to the fifteen available NES games, there are four normally unobtainable games dubbed "The Forbidden Four" by fans: Mario Bros., Ice Climber, Super Mario Bros., and The Legend of Zelda. Certain NES game requirements were shifted around in each regional version of the game, which resulted in some obscure methods to obtain them.
- In the initial Japanese release, Ice Climber could be obtained as a gift when transferring save data from Doubutsu no Mori via Nintendo's now-discontinued Data Moving Service (which required mailing Nintendo of Japan ¥630, an N64 Controller Pak with Doubutsu no Mori save data, and a 59-block GameCube memory card with Doubutsu no Mori + save data), while Super Mario Bros. was given away as a limited-run Famitsu prize. Both games could also be obtained by mailing villagers passwords written on the back of associated e-Reader character cards; this process is also the sole method of legitimately obtaining both Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda.
- In North America, Mario Bros. and Ice Climber were obtainable via e-Reader cards included in Series 4 of the Animal Crossing-e line of e-Reader card packs. Because the Series 4 pack was released late into the e-Reader's North American life cycle, they were produced in much smaller quantities and consequently are much rarer than cards from the first three series. Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda, meanwhile, are not legitimately obtainable in any capacity.
- In the European release, due to the removal of e-Reader functionality (owing to the fact that the e-Reader was never released in European territories due to its commercial failure in North America) and the lack of a replacement system, it is impossible to legitimately obtain any of these four games.
These games can only be obtained by hacking them into the player's inventory (particularly for European versions, where none of these were ever made available legitimately), as trying to unlock them with a trade code generator will not work. Interestingly, all except The Legend of Zelda have Advance Play options, and in Doubutsu no Mori e+ the Advance Play data still remains via hacking, even though the games were otherwise erased as console items.
Games No Longer Obtainable Without Universal Item Codes#
While all nineteen NES games outside of the Forbidden Four are accessible without hacks, five of them cannot be obtained without the use of universal item codes or third-party code generators due to the method by which they were meant to be accessed by players. Soccer, Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong 3, Clu Clu Land D, and Punch-Out!! were all only available through secret codes generated for the player's specific name and town through Nintendo of America's official website for the game. Because the site is now offline, this means that the official code generation service for these items is no longer functional.
Removed Games#
On top of the nineteen games that can be played, several more are referenced by the game but do not have ROMs or models in the game's data: NES Open Tournament Golf, Gomoku Narabe Renju, Mahjong, Nazo no Murasamejou, and the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2 are only included in the Japanese version (Doubutsu no Mori+), with Gomoku Narabe Renju and Mahjong taking the place of Excitebike and Soccer. Nazo no Murasamejou can be played by setting item 03 of the H(HREG) editor to 21 and starting the Famicom, and Super Mario Bros. 2 can be played by setting item 03 of the H(HREG) editor to 22 and starting the Famicom.
The only mentions for most of these games are in static.map, though Gomoku Narabe Renju can also be seen referenced at F4C2C.
External NES Games#
Each of the playable NES games that can be obtained in-game come as an individual furniture item featuring an NES console with a game box on top of it (a Famicom with a unique cartridge design in the Japanese version). There is also a generic NES console item (a Famicom Disk System in the Japanese version) that can be purchased from Redd that was originally thought to be unplayable, because it would only display the message "I want to play my NES, but I don't have any software." This item actually scans Memory Cards for special files that contain NES ROMs.
ROMs loaded from the Memory Card are loaded into the same NES emulator used for the built-in NES games. The code for loading these ROMs is fully working and features an entire system for loading ROMs and ROM metadata, as well as creating save files for each external ROM. As it turns out, this is a carryover from the original Doubutsu no Mori, where it was only known to have been officially utilized on one occasion: a single sweepstakes in Nintendo Dream magazine where up to 30 participants could win a Controller Pak with Ice Climber on it. It seems that Nintendo originally intended to repeat the gimmick for Animal Crossing (just with GameCube Memory Cards instead), but never followed through with it. This functionality is present in all versions of the game.
One of the metadata tags in the ROM loader supports patching ROMs after they are loaded. This tag can also be used to patch Animal Crossing itself, allowing mods to be loaded via Memory Card.

Shakitto (Unused NPC)#
An odd unused NPC can be found within the game's code. Recent digging within the files of Doubutsu no Mori+ has revealed her Japanese name to be 'Shakitto' (シャキッと), meaning crisp/crunchy; immediately following this name is the text "りゃ〜" (Rya〜), which may have been a catchphrase (or also part of her name?). These two text files are the last ones in the game's code associated with her, indicating that she may have been removed late into development. Internally, her texture and model files refer to her as "xsq", which likely means "extra squirrel".
However, despite initial speculation that Shakitto may have been a cut villager, there is prominent evidence suggesting that she was actually meant to be a special character. In the game's code, she's referred to under the filename "ac_ev_dokutu", which can be broken down into "Actor Event Dokutu". Characters with "ev" in their filename are traveling characters like Redd or Saharah, while "dokutu" is most likely a Kunrei-shiki romanization of "dokutsu", meaning "cavern" (洞窟/どうくつ) or "hole in the ground" (土窟/どくつ); most other actor characters also had their names shortened in code. Given that the player can use a shovel to dig holes and thus uncover buried items, and that real squirrels are known for burying their spare food, it's possible that her intended role in the game would've had something to do with burying special items that the player would then dig up to collect, similar to a certain island tour in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Shakitto can be spawned into a player's town using the below Action Replay code, using xxxx as a regular villager, with yyyy being set to either D06C or E15A.
040051A0 3C600001
040051A4 3863xxxx
040051A8 7C032040
040051AC 7C832378
040051B0 4082000C
040051B4 3C600001
040051B8 3863yyyy
040051BC 4E800020
0453A198 4BACB009
04544FFC 4BAC01A5
Because her text data was overwritten, Shakitto will use one of Kapp'n's dialogues when D06C is used. When E15A is used, she'll use whatever text corresponds to the gender of the villager she overwrote. If she is spawned into a player's town with the above code and yyyy set to D06C, her name will be displayed as "ù«–•B¡¡". This is the default name for special NPCs, which was untranslated from Doubutsu no Mori+ (ジョニー・B) and translates to Johnny B; the garbled appearance of the name is the end result of the game attempting to display text characters that no longer exist in its code, instead displaying characters that occupy the same hexidecimal positions as their kana counterparts. When using E15A, she will take Jambette's name; this is because Jambette's villager index is cataloged first at E05A. Because villager text data data wraps around after E0FF, long before E15A, Shakitto will use Jambette's data by default.
Music#
Title Theme#
In the normal course of play, the game's title theme fades out after a minute and 3 seconds, corresponding with the length of time of the demos played on the title screen. However, the full track runs for an additional 21 seconds, with this extended outro only normally being accessible by ejecting the game disc during the first demo that plays when booting the game up. Technically speaking, this means that the full title theme isn't completely unused, but it is inaccessible under typical circumstances.

Dummy and Duplicate Tracks#
The first track defined for the BGM sequences is a dummy track composed of silence, defined as "BGM_DUMMY". There are also duplicates of certain tracks that play in different scenarios;
- A duplicate of the song from when you choose your house that plays when you "agree" to work for Tom Nook.
- A duplicate of K.K.'s third invalid song, titled in later games as "To the Edge". Possibly used as a "default" failsafe.
- A duplicate of "Pulling into Town"; probably plays when you're arriving in another town as opposed to your own.
- A duplicate of Resetti's theme for when he pretends to reset your game for you.
- Duplicates of the theme that plays for when Tom Nook's shop closes for each expansion of his shop, despite them sounding identical. It is possible the closing theme may have originally varied.
- An empty track with channel data, but no music or note data.
- A duplicate of Don Resetti's theme.
- Several entries of silence so that K.K.'s songs would start at a hex value ending in 0. One of these was actually filled in Doubutsu no Mori e+ with the music for Tom Nook's shop when he is awoken at night.
Leftover Items#
Several furniture items are leftover in the files from Doubutsu no Mori +, the Japanese exclusive GameCube version of the game released before. When spawned, they appear as a "DUMMY" model that is a white triangle with red Japanese text on it reading "ダミー" or "DUMMY". Below is a list of the item's names along with their internal hexadecimal IDs and their models from Doubutsu no Mori +.

Legend of Zelda |
1D F0 |
 |
Fully functional unobtainable NES game furniture and fully playable copy of the NES game "The Legend of Zelda". Has its own unique model. In Doubutsu no Mori+, it appears as a Famicom Disk System and plays the FDS version of the game. It is technically obtainable with a secret code in this game only, but such a code was never officially generated. |
Legend of Zelda |
1F BC |
 |
Broken NES game. Crashes and resets Animal Crossing when pressed and attempts to load. Model is reused from the plain game-less "NES" item. In Doubutsu no Mori+, it appears as a Famicom with the LoZ cartridge, and plays the Japanese cartridge version of the game. It is also technically obtainable with an unofficial secret code in this game. |
sickle |
22 2C |
 |
Handheld item, no model visible when placed in house or equipped but uses a toolbox sprite from previous versions of the game when dropped outside. Of note is that an inventory icon for the sickle is present in the 2020 source code leak for Doubutsu no Mori. |
- |
Various |
 |
Can be spawned as an object on the ground, but is an unused object and sprite in normal gameplay. Cannot be picked up. Of note is that the 2020 Doubutsu no Mori source code leak includes three generic fish icons, one of which resembles this sprite, rather than distinct ones for each species; this appears to be a remnant of that idea. This sprite can also be seen if a catchable version of a fish, rather than its furniture item, is forced into a house. |
unknown |
Various |
 |
Broken item that has no model visible when placed. When picked up, it cannot be interacted with in the inventory or sold at Tom Nook's Shop, only prompting an error noise when A is pressed on it. Has its own unique inventory icon. |
DUMMY |
33 C4 |
|
The model for most leftover and unused items. Unlike other items, this one can be accessed through a glitch. Winter Igloo Campers have the DUMMY in the pool of items that they can give the player. |
§ÿ³„Ñ à |

 |
The Japanese name for this item is クエストてがみ, meaning "quest mail". This can be seen when modified into in the Japanese versions, but in Animal Crossing it just displays as mojibake. |
§ÿ³„ÕØ |
25 01 |
 |
The Japanese name is クエストぬの ("quest cloth"). Another similar item was added as a lost item in Doubutsu no Mori e+. |
§ÿ³„ÁÂÖ |
25 02 |
 |
The Japanese name is クエストおかね, meaning "quest money". |
money1000Bell |
25 0D |
|
The Japanese name is おかね1000ベル, meaning the same thing. This is likely the 1000 Bell down payment the player automatically gives Tom Nook at the beginning of the game; it is even present in their inventory on the train before. When dropped outside, it uses the usual Bell bag sprite. |
爁 |
25 13 |
 |
The Japanese name is おみくじ or o-mikuji, often translated as "fortune slip". Katrina gives the player this item on New Year's Day, but instead of going to their item inventory, a letter appears in their mail inventory. It does not have a sprite when dropped, but when Katrina hands it to the player, it actually has a different sprite depending on the game: In Doubutsu no Mori, it uses the normal letter sprite from the post office; in Doubutsu no Mori+ and e+, it uses a sprite of an actual o-mikuji; and in Animal Crossing it appears as a slip with no writing. |
🗙Þ |
25 1D |
 |
The Japanese name is ムラノまっぷ, meaning "town map". This is the map sprite Tom Nook gives the player when doing chores, and Copper gives it to town visitors. However, merely picking up the item will not allow map access, as this is set by dialogue flags. |
|
|
To do: |
Additional unused items include:
- MBG, which is a glowing yellow cube that moves back and forth, can be placed outside, and can push the player around (sometimes making them float). Initially, is it invisible, but once the player enters a building and returns, the item becomes a yellow cube moving left to right while rotating counter-clockwise. The block has collision and pushes the player if they are in its way, meaning it was likely a debug item used to test collision. In Animal Crossing, the mbg has a corrupted icon and in Doubutsu no Mori e+, it uses the same icon as the mosquito.
- Airplane, which is a paper airplane that can be placed outside. Upon reloading the area a paper airplane resides in, it will duplicate, effectively doubling the amount of paper airplanes each time. This repeats indefinitely until the game crashes. Pressing A while on top of a paper airplane will make it disappear visibly, indicating that the player has picked it up. After doing so, if Z is held and the control stick is flicked, the airplane will fly from the player as if being thrown; the trajectory and distance it is thrown depends on how the control stick was flicked. Once the paper airplane lands, the player is unable to move, softlocking the game. The airplane has a corrupted icon in Animal Crossing and uses the mosquito icon in Doubutsu no Mori e+.
Unobtainable Clothing#
Eight unobtainable clothing items exist in the game. They can be spawned as items from memory and can be obtained through universal item codes, but only exist for villagers during certain events in normal gameplay.

In addition to the items shown above, eight unused furniture items from the original Doubutsu no Mori remain in the code of Doubutsu no Mori +, Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+. In most cases, their models are removed; their IDs instead point to duplicates of the Spooky Wardrobe furniture item in + and the DUMMY furniture item in Animal Crossing and e+. The sole exception is the unused chair, the model for which is still present in + (though not Animal Crossing or e+, where it again just appears as a DUMMY item).

Unused Seasonal Palettes#
In Doubutsu no Mori e+, two unused seasonal environment palettes were added for grass. These palettes go unused in the final game. The first palette appears to be for a transition between Fall and Winter, as the grass underneath the bush is green. The second palette is likely for mid- or late Winter.
Unused Text#
At the beginning of string_data.bin is a test line of text.
Test Line of textAmong the catchphrases are some temporary strings of text that indicate catchphrases that haven't been translated.
