Turning Into Mario

On Wednesday, I received my worthy painting in the mail from Jolly Redd. I rushed it over to the museum, and I was very happy (and a bit surprised, actually) when Blathers informed me that it was an authentic work of art!

I also received more of my ordered Mario items in the mail. However, I was a bit disappointed by the large mushroom platform initially, because it wasn’t letting me use it as a table. However, it can be used that way. Maybe I just wasn’t standing in the right place or something.

The large mushroom platform.

Tybalt asked me for a wharf roach, and I agreed to help out. But after a few trips back and forth without finding the bug, I decided to use my warp pipes to help out my search! I put one on each side of the beach, and that helped me to find the bug quicker than crossing town repeatedly. These warp pipes can be used in so many ways!

Yesterday, the Nooklings were paying 144 bells for turnips. I sold 1,000 of my 1,300 at that price, to ensure I’d make a profit for the week.

Last night, I spent some time testing things out as I try to decide on a layout for my Mario obstacle course. I figured some things out, and I have a general idea of what I want to do…but it’s going to take a while.

I ordered the Mario outfit and I also made Tom Nook redesign my house with red and white (for Mario month). The outfit arrived today, and the changes to my house were finished today as well. Here’s a look at both.

It’s-a-me, Mario!
Uh, don’t mind the green hair though.

Several of my villagers commented on my new look.

Apple: Wow! You're at PEAK FAB today. Are you testing a new look?

Today, the Nooklings were buying turnips for 163 bells apiece…even better than yesterday! So I sold my remaining 300 turnips for a total of 48,900 bells.

Gulliver was in town, and I dug up his five communicator pieces for him. He will send me a reward in the mail tomorrow.

Reminder: There is no Friday Night Forest tonight. Maybe next week, but that will probably depend on whether or not I finish my obstacle course by then.

I also want to hold a one-year anniversary party on March 20th, which is a Saturday. A few of you may remember that’s what I did for City Folk’s one year anniversary in 2009 (see video), and I want to do the same for New Horizons as well. I just don’t know what time it will be yet.

  1. I also wanted to make a one-year anniversary on my island. It’s gonna be its own holiday full of balloons and festive items. Then, on the same day, I’ll set my island to Dream Adresses so that we can keep our island forever once we delete our island. The day after is Hamlet’s birthday, so I won’t be clearing away all the festive items on that day.

  2. I just heard that apparently idk if you know this but (I know you know adout the gamecube one) in the gamecube version,it goes to to December 31st 2030 and then at new years 2030 repeats. In wild world it goes up to 2099? (unsure adout that one) and city folk is up to 2035 which after will go back to 2000, new leaf was either 2035 or 2050 and after goes back to 2012,the switchs date thing only goes up to 2060 but new horizons still continues to 2061. (From nookipedia, sorry if some of this is incorrect)

  3. Jeff, I hope you don’t mind me asking, but… if it’s okay with you, could I come to that one-year anniversary party? If you show your Dodo code somewhere in your blog, that is? Just hope it’s at a time that I’m free, ‘cause Saturdays are one of those days that I work, from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m., to be precise. Thanks in advance! 🙂
