    Also because King Tutankhamun (tut) died at a very young age, between 17-20. His death has some speculation oh what it exactly was (murder, accident, injury etc) but it didnt look like it was natural causes. So there is the idea he was insanely unlucky, and thus his item passes that along.

    The mystery of the unseen 'new mayor' in New Leaf is odd when you just stop to realize that whoever was supposed to be the mayor has the exact same name as your character. How else would Isabelle and the villagers think you are the new mayor? She even states that the new mayor has your name, and combining that with the arrival time matching yours must mean you are the new mayor. I just restarted New Leaf, so that's how I got that still fresh in my head

    In New Leaf if you put on the King Tut mask, you'd trip while running even if you had a good luck day. It was the same in Wild World, so it's never been connected to your character's luck. I'm pretty sure it's because a lot of people believe that disturbing places where the dead are buried, or taking/possessing their things, is very bad luck.

    As one of the other commenters said, I think the tripping in the King Tut mask is a reference to the infamous mummy’s curse. Perhaps this could also tie into Lucky’s story & the decor of his home? Maybe Lucky used to lived up to his name, until he brought home a cursed artifact… I have no idea what Farley is, but perhaps he’s a reference to something from Japanese folklore? It wouldn’t be the first time the series has featured yokai; and something with a huge nose & long beard that hangs around wells & is associated with wishes definitely sounds folklore-related.

    Serena and Farley both seem to be references to Aesop’s Honest Woodsman (or the Honest Axe) fairy tale in which a woodsman drops his axe into a lake and the god Hermes decides to get it for him but offers him multiple better axes made of silver and gold only for the woodsman to be honest and tell him that they aren’t his axe. After seeing his honesty, Hermes decides to reward him by giving him all three axes. This story has been altered over time though and most modern interpretations (especially those in Japanese media) swap out Hermes with the Lady of the Lake or just another female water spirit. Serena is obviously based on the Lady of the Lake version, used in Japan. Not just based on her being a girl but also her getting angry when you are not honest. Farley seems to be very loosely inspired by the original Hermes version. This makes sense with Farley’s role in the games as Hermes is the god of trade and travel so would naturally take issue if a trade you were tasked with was not completed or if your town was hard to traverse due to trees. Farley also shares his hat with Hermes, as Hermes was regularly depicted with his signature winged cap in pictures and statues. These are pretty much the only traits Farley and Hermes share though but gives enough information for us to make some guesses as to why he was included. Early during localization the Gamecube fountain may have been meant to let you throw your axe into it just like City Folks’ in a bit more of an open reference to the Honest Woodsman story. Obviously you’d need to interact with a character and that may have been the original purpose of Farley. Maybe that would take too much time to develop or would break the game because you could just do it early on and get a really good item so they scrapped it and reworked the character into the final game Farley. Serena’s fountain may have been inspired by those early plans and the Japanese developers decided to replace Farley’s Hermes reference with the more popular and recognizable Lady of Lake reference. Regardless it’s pretty clear that these characters are references to the Honest Woodsman fairytale.

    I know you said not to talk about Ankha, but, I will state an obscure fact about her. She was even in the "original" Gamecube entry of the Animal Crossing franchise, although not how she is now. She was one of a pool of islander villagers to appear on your town's local island. Basically, at random, you have a single islander to be on your town's local island. This single islander never changes and is merely selected at random after creating your town. Ankha was one of those islanders in that pool of a possible islander you could have on your local island. And, like Ankha, those islanders from the Gamecube release of the game, would have their role(s) changed to being in the pool of regular villagers that could appear in your town. I love Ankha, and not for the "weird" reasons many people do that you were trying to avoid talking about. Her unique design. She is not a mere recolor of the basic cat villager model in character design, unlike most cat villagers. She has a special model just for herself, to have that pharaoh headdress thing attached to her head. I was going to say something more, but I forgot it completely while writing this comment

King Tutankhamun (tut) died at a very young age, between 17-20. His death has some speculation oh what it exactly was (murder, accident, injury etc) but it didnt look like it was natural causes. So there is the idea he was insanely unlucky, and thus his item passes that along. Considering how much art history and info has been in these games since gamecube, i dont think its too far off to have it be a reference to real world events too.

    I was thinking this too that it could be around the speculations of how he died! It was theorised for a long time that King Tut died during a chariot crash where he broke his leg and, due to lack of modern medicine, got blood poising and died. He did have a broken leg when he died, but there are no records of a ‘crash’ in Egyptian history, so this is now not as widely accepted. He did, however, have a club foot and other skeletal issues so it could still be that the broken leg was what caused his death at a young age 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Kinda surprised so many don't know this: The mask being unlucky is a reference to King Tut's Curse. It was believed to have afflicted the people who unearthed Tutankhamen's tomb or were involved in the expedition or handled his mummy. Of the 9 people affected, 2 died of sepsis, 1 from pneumonia, 1 from an unspecified illness, 1 in a fire, 1 under "suspicious circumstances", and 1 by suicide. The other 2 survived but the first had his house destroyed twice (once by fire, once by flood), and the other came home to discover his pet canary had been eaten by a cobra, a symbol of the pharoahs. So uh, yeah, pretty unlucky batch of people.

    With the villagers and catchable animals weirdness… I always just figured it was a case of divergent evolution, similar to apes and humans. Frog villagers and catchable frogs have a common ancestor, but aren’t the same species. I sort of figured Animal Crossing was a world where humans weren’t the only species to evolve to our level of intelligence, and that other species did as well and that’s what we have human-sized animals coexisting with humans as neighbors. I think in the most recent game the museum also has some sort of evolution chart showing something similar? Haven’t played it in a while so I’m not sure.

    I would definitely consider process of elimination to be a form of evidence in support of Rover being the secret mayor. Since he's the only character with the information required to set up the events of the game, since he's on the train and not already in the town, and since he's a character that doesn't seem like they'd choose to be mayor but might be important enough to be offered the job, I think this is completely reasonable to believe. It obviously can't be proven, but it makes a lot more sense than any other candidate we see in the games, which simply have no possible relation to this secret mayor at all. The only alternative to him, as far as I can tell, would be a character who is entirely new and unrelated to any of the games or characters so far, which... why would they even bother to do that? lol.

I remember when I was a kid playing City Folk, if you gave Blathers a specific bug (can’t remember what it was) he’ll tell you a story about when he was in school and an egg sac of this specific bug burst and millions of baby insects swarmed his desk. He’s been traumatized by bugs ever since. Edit: Just looked it up and apparently it was a mantis egg that hatched and they swarmed him. Poor guy.

    The King Tut mask thing is a reference to the alleged curse of Pharaoh Tutankahmun. Some of the people who rediscovered his tomb (and therefore “disturbed” it) and other people related to objects taken from it are said to have died under mysterious circumstances or sudden bouts of illness, leading some people to speculate there was a curse placed on his resting place to protect it. That’s why the player trips when they wear the mask, it’s a pilfered artifact from his tomb and therefore gives the player bad luck due to the curse.

    Hi! Nice video, you had lots of interesting points. I have been told the Tut mask falls when you run because it's solid gold and is too heavy, just that simple. and what's interesting about Gulliver and Gullivarrr is if you are a new character talking to Gulliver; the first few times that you're trying to wake him up and he's responding in sleep his name shows as Gulliver and it's not until he wakes up that it all of a sudden change to gullivarrr! I thought that was very interesting. And while you are correct The Fountains don't seem to do anything but when the hour strikes the fountain will change its flow, all of them do. kind of neat. And interesting about whether the residents die or not; with the update if you go to the hospital Joan is in there every Monday and will actually give you turnips.
