A Gyroid as seen in Animal Crossing.

A Gyroid (not to be confused with Gyroids the Furniture item) is a special item that sits outside the Players house in Animal Crossing. When the Player wants to quit, they save their game progress by talking to the Gyroid, if they don't save Mr. Resetti will punish them with a long lecture the next time they play the game, about how you shouldn't "Reset"(Turn off the console without saving). When the Player buys a house from Tom Nook, he throws in the Gyroid free, and will explain what it does to the Player.

In Animal Crossing: Wild World, Nook won't give the player a Gyroid outside his/her house, instead the highest floor of the player house is a bedroom where the player can save progress. In Animal Crossing: City Folk, the player can simply go to the highest floor in their house and jump into bed.

[edit] Messages

The owner of the Gyroid can teach it messages, and when another player talks to that Gyroid it will repeat the message.

[edit] Selling Items

The Player can place items in the Gyroid that it can sell to other Players if they talk to it. The player can also set the price of the items, or make them Display only.

  • Gyroids have appeared in Pikmin 2 and some of the WarioWare games.
