Boondoxedit

From Animal Crossing City

Boondox is a town located to the north of your town in Animal Crossing: Wild World. The name Boondox is probably referring to the word "boondocks", which means "hinterlands", or an uncivilized, poor area. Pelly or Phyllis will first inform you of the town when you ask to make a donation. Both pelicans cry when telling you of Boondox. According to them, Boondoxians just eat grilled cheese, but since there is no cheese or bread, they are forced to eat fried dirt, "without ketchup!"

After a certain bell amount is donated, one of the pelicans will tell you that the Boondoxians are making a well for mud baths. Also one small Boondoxian called Tiny Tommy Hicks will finally be able to have a proper 5th Birthday with frothy mud drinks after some more bells have been donated.

At certain bell landmarks, the Boondoxians will send you a letter informing the player how his or her donations are being used to better Boondox. Also enclosed in certain letters will be a Feather. Donating bells to Boondox is the only way of obtaining the feathers, and cannot be bought from Tom Nook's catalogue. However, if you have obtained these items and move your character to City Folk, you will be able to order them again for under 1,000 Bells.

Boondox will eventually change its name to Boondopolis after becoming a booming metropolis from the players' donations. After this, the players can still continue to donate in order to receive the final feather, the rainbow feather. Despite being a thriving city, the Boondoxians still like to eat mud.

Whether Boondox actually exists is never determined. A cranky villager may claim that Mayor Tortimer walked past and muttered "I'm having steak tonight!" or that Tortimer's installing a plasma TV at his house after the villager made a donation. These villagers are highly skeptical, asserting, "a coincidence? I think not!'" Also, a letter from Boondox may say 'my turtle is better', in the sense that the town owns a turtle. Tortimer is a turtle. "Coincidence? I think not!"
