It is possible for multiple players to build houses in the same town, but only one player can actually play at a time. It is also possible to use codes to trade items between games. Using another memory card could also allow the player to visit another player's village through usage of travel data. The [[Gamecube]] version takes advantage of the system's inbuilt clock to keep track of the time and date. There are various events which occur on certain days and at certain times, and holidays are also observed within the game.
