-Game Boy Advance
-GBA/GCN Link Cable

Turn on your game boy advance and ensure that the link cable is plugged in. The make your way to the dock. You will see Kapp'n there in his boat. Talk to him to go to the island. Make sure you leave your GBA turned on for the trip over there.

The Island Cabana

There is a vacant house on animal island. The first time you will visit you will see that it contains two Blue Aloha Shirts and two Red Aloha Shirts. This is the only way you can get those shirts in the game so if you don't visit your island you're out of luck. You can store things in the beach house or decorate it any way you like. However, all four human players share the same house so make sure no one steals your best stuff.

There is also a flagpole on the island. You can fly any flag you choose, the default flag is plain white. Create a new texture the same way you would for clothing then simply head to the island to fly your new flag.

If you spend time out in the sun on the island without using an umbrella your character will get a tan. The longer you are out the darker you get. It doesn't have any effect on the game though. The tan goes away slowly over time and is not permanent.

The island never experiences winter so many of the game's bugs are available year round. To find out which ones check out the collection guide and look for the entries with an * next to them. Rumor has it that out of season fish can also be found there but it is unconfirmed which ones.

Island weather does not always parallel the mainland. It can be raining in one place and not the other. You never know until you get there.

You can trade islands with a friend through the the gba screen's "trade islands" option. In this way you can also trade anything that may be on an island with your friend. This includes; items, islander, island name, and island geography.

The Native Islander is the biggest feature of the island. Your islander does very little on the gamecube island, but is responsible for a lot on the gameboy advance island. On the gcn island your islander may ask you to bring him or her items.

GBA Islander:
Use the hand cursor to lead your islander along, pick him up, or move items around. If you islander cries for help improve it's mood by lifting it out of danger. If you leave fishing poles, nets, or shovels on the island your islander can use them. By using the net your islander can catch the presents that float over the island. With the shovel your islander can dig up items you have buried and turn them into rarer items that you want. With the fishing pole the islander can haul up deep sea treasures.There are many items that are exclusive to the island and it takes a lot of work to collect them all.

Islanders and Fruit:
Each islander has fruit that it likes and fruit that it is allergic to. If you see a skull it means that the islander is allergic to that fruit. Feeding it that will only make it less likely to drop money bags. If your islander is happy it will drop various denominations of money for you depending on how happy he or she is.

Islander Favorite Fruits: There is much controversy over which fruits are preferred by which islanders. It has been suggested that they all like coconuts and their favorite fruit is one of the other ones, since none are allergic to coconuts. You will have to experiment with what works best for your islanders as submissions have been widely inconsistent.
