On Animal Crossing, How Do You Catch Floating Presents?

"Animal Crossing: Wild World," released for the Nintendo DS in 2005, is the sequel to the GameCube game "Animal Crossing." A variety of new features were included in "Wild World," such as new items, characters and in-game features like floating presents. These presents float across the screen during the day and include a number of items for your character such as new furniture pieces. There is only one way to catch a floating present in "Animal Crossing: Wild World."

Instructions

  Purchase a slingshot from Tom Nook's store, located randomly in each player's town. The slingshot costs 500 bells. The items are stocked randomly every day; keep checking the store until the slingshot appears.

  Press "Y" to access your inventory and equip your slingshot.

  Listen for the sound of a gust of wind, indicating a floating present has arrived. This sound can occur anywhere from 10 a.m. from 4 p.m. in real time when the minutes on the clock end in 4. For example, the gust of wind can occur at 10:04 or 10:24 a.m.

  Press "A" to fire a pellet from your slingshot straight into the air. When the pellet connects with the balloon holding the present, the balloon pops causing the present to fall.
