Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town [GBA]
Easy Money In Spring
In spring, go through the exit at the botton of your farm, turn left, dont go to the mine, turn left again and you will find 3 bamboo shoots. Sell'em and get 750g.
Easy Money In Summer
To gain at least 1,000 gold every day in summer, you don't have to grow crops or harm your stamina mining. Just collect grasses. Each grass pays at least 100 gold. collect three in three different places(the hot springs, by the lake mine, the woods by the wood cutter's house, and the beach). do this daily and collect 1,000 gold a day. This hint best works in the summer for there are more grasses grown in that time.
Angry People
Buy a lot of Gold Lumber, then put it in your field. The next day, an event will occur in which almost every character will visit and yell at you. This includes the Mayor.
Ann's Love
She likes cooked eggs, birthday Summer 17.
Avoiding Crop And Animal Problems
Save the game before you go to bed, just in case you forgot to feed your animals, water your crops, etc. You can just turn off your game, turn it back on, and re-do what was forgotten the first time.
Best Crops
Spring: Turnips (Supermarket)
Summer: Pineapples (Zack's house)
Autumn: Sweet Potatoes (Supermarket)
Winter: Nothing (but you can fish)
Chickens
Build a fence on your field and throw your chickens in there. Since they are trapped in there, they cannot run around your farm and be difficult to find. They will also find their own food in the same area everyday, so you do not need to feed them.
Cooking Tips
Every Saturday at 1:00p.m. go to Anna's house and she will teach you a recipe.
Ellie's Affection
Ellie loves flowers, any kind. and if you visit the doctor and have a check-up daily, she will like you more.
Fishing for Money
Make use of those Festivals that occur on the beach. Since time doesn't pass, and you don't expend energy you can fish without worry.
1 - Bring your basket!
2 - Fish for the large fish, and fill your basket up. Max out your carry capacity by putting 8 more fish in your rucksack.
3 - Toss aside any garbage. You can always confess to littering later!
Your profit for a day's worth of fishing will be 7600G.
Getting a Girlfriend
If you want a certain girl to be your girlfriend, make sure you bring her things she that likes at least once everyday. Find out what her schedule is, so that you know what she is doing at each time of the day. Always talk to her and bring her some of your crops that you grow. If she does not like something you give her, do not give it to her anymore.

Harvest The Middle Crop
Notice that if you plant seeds then water all nine spaces with a level 2 or higher watering can, you will not be able to reach the crop in the middle without cutting a stalk from the sides. However, if you recruit a Harvest Sprite to harvest crops for you, it can walk through the crops and harvest the middle one. This is only useful for crops that can be harvested more than once though.
Help From Harvest Sprites
To get help from the Harvest Sprites, give each of them a lot of bread, which you can buy in the supermarket. The gnomes love bread. After you feed them, their heart points should rise to 3. You can now ask them to do your work (watering, taking care of animals, harvesting), or you can play a game with them. Do not forget to give them some bread each week (one piece for each) to maintain their heart level.
Horse
When you get your horse, always talk to and brush it. When it is an adult, ride it all the time. In two or three days Barley will appear. If you did not take good care of your horse, he will take it.
How to get Jewels in Winter
First, you go to the place where you find the Bamboo Shoots in spring. If you haven't reached Winter yet, you should always see water. But when it reaches Winter, it shouldn't be filled with water anymore. It will be filled with snow. So you can walk on it. Then you will find a little cave. Go in it and there will be a mine. If you break the rocks, most of the time you will find jewels. Note: This only works in Winter!

Misspelling
If you link up to a Nintendo Gamecube wait for a few seconds. The HG should say "sending dgata". How wierd is that?
Mountain Cottage
Stay married for 50 happy years and your wife will decide to get you a Cottage on Mother's Hill.
No Fatigue With Tools
On certain events, the clock on the bottom right will disappear. When you now use a tool, it will not take down your fatigue. This makes it easier to bless some cursed tools by just swinging a lot.
Popuri Hints
She likes things from your animals (eggs, milk, wool) and chocolate. The higher quality the egg, milk, or wool is, she'll like you more. Give her lots of wrapped gifts on the third day of summer, that's her birthday! If you give her at least three wrapped gifts everyday, she should be on her red heart before the end of the first year.
Rare Power Berry
During any season except winter, throw 2 cucumbers in the lake near the mountain. A Kappa will appear and ask to be left alone. For the next 10 days go to the lake and drop one cucumber each day. On the tenth day, Kappa will give you a Blue Power Berry that will double the amount of fatigue that you can take.
