Phineas was introduced in ''City Folk'', in which he will randomly appear in the [[City]] giving out free gifts, being a choice of either an easily poppable [[Balloon (item)|balloon]], an indestructable [[Bunny Balloon]], a [[pinwheel]] that spins while running, or a [[Bubble Wand]], which can be used to blow bubbles.
+
===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
 
+
[[File:Phineas NL.png|thumb|left|100px|Artwork from {{NL|short|nolink}}.]]
The player can only receive one gift per day. The balloons, bunny balloons, and pinwheels come in a variety of colors, such as orange, blue, green, red, pink, yellow, and purple. Balloons will fly away if the player trips and falls or gets stung by bees. If a pinwheel is brought into the Town Hall when [[Phyllis]] is working, it will occasionally disappear from the player's pockets and she will be using it in the back of the room.
