Candy as it appears in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Candy is an item that appears in Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, often depicted as a sweet wrapped in a red, yellow, green or blue-striped wrapper. In the games in which candy is present, it can be obtained in a variety of different ways- most commonly being sold throughout October in preparation for Halloween. The player can also obtain candy during certain events, often as a "losing" prize, with the method of obtaining it varying between games. Some players may consider candy to be a piece of Trash in the same way that Item:Spoiled turnips (Animal Crossing), empty cans, boots and tyres are, despite no game considering candy as such. This may be due to the fact that in some games, candy can spawn ants around it after being dropped on the ground.

Appearances

In Animal Crossing

On Halloween night in Animal Crossing, from 6 PM until 1 AM the following morning, villagers dressed as Jack, the Czar of Halloween, chase the player in hopes of receiving candy. If the player refuses to give any candy, the clothes or inventory items are transformed. When players give candy to Jack, they will receive an item from the Spooky Series in return.

During October, Tom Nook sells up to five pieces of candy per day, and they cost 100 Bells each. They take the place of flower bags in the shop from October 16 to October 30, while flower bags take the place of saplings, meaning no saplings are sold while candy is being sold.

In City Folk

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, there are four colors of candy: blue, green, red, and yellow. Candy can be given to the player by visiting the houses of the villagers who stayed in on Halloween night by wearing a costume. Also, during the new event, Festivale, candy can be won from villagers in luck-based challenges except hide-and-seek and can be supplied to the host of the festival - Pavé. He will ask for three of a certain colored-wrapper of candy, which will reward the player with Festivale Series furniture. They also can be found on Bunny Day, in some eggs. If the player leaves candy on the ground, ants can appear crawling over it.

During October, Tom Nook sells one piece of candy per day in Animal Crossing: City Folk, and they cost 400 Bells each.

In New Leaf

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the player will no longer receive candy as either a "losing prize", or an item necessary for an event as often as they would have in City Folk. One particular example of this change is the player no longer being able to win candy as a prize for participating, and eventually winning, one of the luck-based minigames. These minigames were playable on an event such as Festivale, with new minigames being added to New Leaf, with some of the exact mechanics of certain minigames being changed and others removed entirely, as was the case for Imaginary Soccer, Coin Toss and the Psychic/ESP Test minigames. Instead of obtaining candy from their villagers, the player would play games such as Rock paper scissors or Charades with their villagers in an attempt to win a feather of a particular color. Obtaining feathers by other means was possible, as some villagers may ask the player to trade feathers. Once the player had obtained three feathers of the color that Pavé had asked them to bring, the player would receive an item from the Pavé furniture series.

Despite no longer being an obtainable item during Festivale, candy is still used in some events, most notably on Halloween. On Halloween, villagers will chase after the player if they get too close. If the villager catches up to the player, dialogue follows in which the villager asks the player to give them a piece of candy. If the player agrees, the villager will inform the player of the mask required to scare a certain villager, who will be hiding inside their house. The mask required to scare a villager is dependent on their species and personality.

Throughout the month of October, the player can purchase candy from the Nookling Stores. This temporarily limits the player only being able to purchase one Fortune Cookie per day rather than two. However, the option to purchase two only becomes available after the Nookling Store has been upgraded to T&T Mart at the minimum.

Candy is also available on Bunny Day.

In New Horizons

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, candy was added in the 1.5.0 Fall Update, being sold at Nook's Cranny throughout the month of October for 120 Bells. Timmy and Tommy only allow the player to buy one piece per day. Candy can be left on the ground to attract an ant.
