Leap Day 2016

Happy Leap Day, everyone! As I started up the game today, I got Mott’s goodbye letter in the mail. He said his biceps are too big for one town, so he’s taking them on tour.

Mott's goodbye letter.Of course, February 29th doesn’t come by every year. Believe it or not, this is just the 2nd Leap Day to pass by since the release of the game. A message is posted on the bulletin board that points out the relative rarity of this date.

~ Leap Day ~ Today is February 29th, the day that comes but once every four years! Do you feel like you gained a day?Villagers may also mention that it’s Leap Day. For example, Static was wondering why February wasn’t over yet.

Static: I was just wondering why February wasn't over yet, but that explains it.Alli said that she loves Leap Day, even though it’s not really a holiday. She suggested that we should make it a holiday and name it after her. I’m not exactly sure how that would work.

Alli: I love February 29th... It's a day that happens every four years, yet it's not really a holiday.Tutu wanted me to find her some trendy furniture; she says I’m the only one that can get it for her. She said not even the internet can help!

Tutu: Only you can get me my furniture. Even the internet can't help me!But when I tried giving her some furniture I found in the recycle bin, she said it wasn’t trendy enough. Oh well, I guess you’re not getting furniture from me then.

After I went up to Able Sisters to change my path pattern to green bricks, Chow asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. I had ten minutes to find him, Twiggy, and Static. About 90 seconds into the game, I found Chow hiding behind Tutu’s house.
