Rescue Service
Rescue Service is an app on theNookPhone inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons that theplayer can use to quickly be transported to a different point of the island, which may be necessary if stuck between objects or lost. Each rescue costs 100Nook Miles, but if the player does not have enough Nook Miles to cover the fee, they will be transported to a random location for free.
The player can also use the rescue service for fun, as well as to quickly travel to their home, resident services, the airport, shop, etc.
Calling the Rescue Service will connect the player to the Operator, who gives them a choice of where to go: thePlaza, theAirport,Nook's Cranny (provided it has been constructed), or the player's home. Once the player has been transported to their chosen destination, the Operator will give the player some advice and say goodbye.
The Rescue Service cannot be used indoors or onMystery Tours, unless the player is on theMay Day tour. For this tour only, the service will extract the player from the maze and drop them off at the island's dock after they spent 100 Nook Miles. The maze will be reset so that the player may attempt it again from the beginning. All items in the player's inventory are removed, except for the gift received fromRover.
If the Rescue Service is called while the player isdreaming, the Operator will begrudgingly not charge the player, but can only take them to the plaza of the island they are dreaming about.
The Operator of the service is usuallyMr. Resetti; an arrangement of his theme music and his voice are heard when calling, and a helicopter with his distinctive helmet and nose is shown on the app icon. Resetti even refers to himself by name in some of his dialogue, and he may state that the player cannot reset because of the game's autosave feature. On some occasions, including if Resetti is present to perform his Reset Service on the island,Don Resetti will answer instead, mentioning that he is temporarily filling in for his brother.
If the player calls the Rescue Service inThe Roost while Mr. Resetti and Don are present, or if Resetti is currently present on the island for his Reset Service with Don Resetti at the Roost, no one will answer the phone.
