Grass is a type of flora in theAnimal Crossing series that covers much of theplayer'stown/island (in the areas not covered by buildings, pavement, and dirt). In earlyDecember,snow falls and replaces all of the town's grass. OnFebruary 25th, the snow melts, and the grass comes back. InSeptember, the grass begins to become lighter to turn darker and browner inOctober andNovember.

Appearances by game[edit]

InAnimal Crossing[edit]

InAnimal Crossing, any part town not occupied by pavement or buildings is grass. There were only a few spots occupied by dirt, and those are designed in figure 8-like shapes.

InWild World[edit]

InAnimal Crossing: Wild World, more of the land was occupied by dirt rather than grass.

InCity Folk[edit]

The comparison of grass and snow inCity Folk.

InAnimal Crossing: City Folk, the player starts out with an almost complete town of grass. However, as the player plays the game, the grass starts to disappear. This process is calledgrass deterioration, and happens in areas where the player walks (and usually walks/runs most often).

InNew Leaf[edit]

Grass deterioration returns inAnimal Crossing: New Leaf, but it is not as prominent as it is inCity Folk. Also, the town is not filled with grass; there are patches of dirt scattered throughout the town.

InNew Horizons[edit]

Grass deterioration has been removed inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons and the land starts with no dirt patches. Instead, dirt is tied to the Island Designer app when unlocked, allowing players to create their own dirt patches and pave paths to their liking.

Designs by game[edit]

There are six different designs for snow/grass in theAnimal Crossing series. The patterns change when grass turns to snow and vice-versa.

InAnimal Crossing[edit]

InAnimal Crossing, towns randomly feature one of three potential grass pattern types:

Group #	Grass Shape	Snow Shape	Preview
1	Triangle	Hexagon
2	Circle	Square
3	Square	Star

InWild World andCity Folk[edit]

InAnimal Crossing: Wild World andAnimal Crossing: City Folk, towns randomly feature one of three potential grass pattern types:

Group #	Grass Shape	Snow Shape	Preview
1	Triangle	Square
2	Circle	Star
3	Square	Hexagon

InNew Leaf[edit]

InAnimal Crossing: New Leaf, towns randomly feature one of three potential grass pattern types:

Group #	Grass Shape	Snow Shape	Preview
1	Triangle	Square
2	Circle	Star
3	Square	Circle

Tortimer Island is also randomly-generated to feature one of the three grass patterns. Since the season there is always summer, the grass shape and color do not change.

InNew Horizons[edit]

InAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, islands feature only one grass pattern type:

Grass Shape	Snow Shape	Preview
