Cornimer is atortoise who appears inAnimal Crossing: Wild World,Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo, andAnimal Crossing: New Horizons. InWild World, Cornimer is a holiday-specific visitor intown and will exchange items foracorns. InWelcome amiibo, he appears only inAnimal Crossing Puzzle League as the final boss. InNew Horizons, Cornimer serves the same functions asTortimer, providing theplayer access to theirstorage, but only appears duringfall and will give the playeracorns when talked to.

It is implied that Cornimer and Tortimer are the same character. Cornimer's name is likely a portmanteau of "acorn" and "Tortimer."

Characteristics[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Cornimer is identical in appearance to Tortimer, but his head is replaced with an acorn head that has two long oval eyes, a triangular nose, and a toothy mouth carved into it. InAnimal Crossing: Wild World, his mouth is shaped into a smile, but in later games, his mouth is flatter, assuming a neutral expression.

Personality[edit]

Cornimer is presumed to have the same personality as Tortimer, as they both are also presumed to be the same person.

Appearances[edit]

InWild World[edit]

Cornimer talking to the player inWild World.

InAnimal Crossing: Wild World, Cornimer appears only during theAcorn Festival and gives the player items from theMushroom Series in exchange for acorns, which are found under oaktrees during the festival. However, if the player gives him a rotten acorn, he will say that all the other acorns the player gave him that time do not count. Much like Tortimer telling the player's fortune by usingfireworks, he can tell the player's fortune by using acorns.

It is heavily implied that Cornimer is Tortimer in disguise. In addition to their similar appearance and names, during the Acorn Festival, Tortimer is not behind the desk in thetown hall. Additionally, the first time Cornimer laughs in his dialogue toward the player, he says, "Hef horf horf... Wait no! Good luck lil' Oakie!", with "hef horf horf" being Tortimer's laugh.

InNew Leaf[edit]

The final Animal Crossing Puzzle League match inWelcome amiibo.

The roving machine that is whacked by players during theHammer Time tour appears to be Cornimer's head on top of a lawnmower.

Cornimer himself returns in theWelcome amiibo update forAnimal Crossing: New Leaf, where he appears as the final boss in the story mode ofAnimal Crossing Puzzle League. The character is once again strongly implied to be Tortimer in disguise, as Cornimer wears the same red aloha shirt and uses similar language to Tortimer. Unlike previous stages, there is only a single round versus Cornimer but the difficulty is significantly raised. After being defeated he will initially throw a tantrum, but then acknowledge the player's victory and congratulate them.

InNew Horizons[edit]

Although initially absent inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, Cornimer was added in version2.0. Cornimer will appear in place of Tortimer onHarv's Island during the fall season. If the player talks to him once each day, he will ask to give them acorns. If they say yes, he will give them a random amount of acorns. Afterward, he works the same as Tortimer, letting the player access theirstorage.
