'''Kicks''' is a [[skunk]] who appeared in {{CF}} and {{NL}}. He shines [[shoes]] for a living in the [[city]] on fair weather days. He is such a good shoe shiner that some animals that enlist his services are unsure that they are wearing the same shoes as when he began. He can be found outside a run-down building beside [[Lloid|Lloid's]] auction house. He wears a brown hat with matching brown suspenders. He also has an Australian accent. In the UK version he has a Cockney accent.

If the [[player]] buys his services for 500 [[Bells]], Kicks' shoe-shine will change the color of the player's shoes to match his or her hair or outfit (not including pattern-made shirts which produce the defaults). If the [[shoes]] do not change colors, he will not charge for his services. There are only a select number of shoe patterns which can match each hair and outfit combo. He can match by style or by what color the player is wearing. The name "Kicks" is a reference on the slang word for tennis shoes, "kicks." He does not appear if it is raining or snowing. Even if the player [[time travels]], he still appears.

Kicks returns in {{NL}} and {{PC}}, where he runs the shoe shop [[Kicks (shop)|Kicks]]. In both of these games he sells footwear.

Kicks can be found outside a run-down building beside [[Lloid]]'s auction house on fair weather days. He does not appear if it is raining or snowing, and he appears even if the player [[time travels]]. When talked to, he will offer to shine the player's shoes for 500 [[Bells]]. Kicks's shoe-shine changes the player's footwear (i.e., the color and appearance of their socks and shoes). He will not charge the player if their shoes do not change after shoe-shining.

The player may choose whether their footwear should be matched by color or by style. If "Go by color" is chosen, the dominant color of the player's worn clothing items and hair color is taken into consideration. Kicks doesn't seem to distinguish colors too well: for example, a player wearing pink clothes and accessories may receive red shoes, and vice versa. If "Match my style" is chosen, the dominant style of the player's worn clothing items is taken into consideration.<ref name="CF-Liquefy" />

Like [[hairstyles]], there are different footwear for male and female players, but Kicks will eventually give the option of wearing footwear of the opposite gender. If the player is wearing the Rainbow Feather, Kicks will let them choose their shoe color.<ref name="CF-Ratleh-Walkthrough" />

Kicks is a skunk who first appeared in Animal Crossing: City Folk, where he shines shoes for a living in the city. He is such a good shoe shiner that some animals that enlist his services are unsure that they are wearing the same shoes as when he began. He wears a brown hat with matching brown suspenders. The name "Kicks" is a reference on the slang word for tennis shoes, "kicks." He also has an Australian accent—in the UK version he has a Cockney accent.

Kicks returns in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, where he runs the shoe shop Kicks. In both of these games he sells footwear.

Kicks, as he appears in City Folk

Kicks can be found outside a run-down building beside Lloid's auction house on fair weather days. He does not appear if it is raining or snowing, and he appears even if the player time travels. When talked to, he will offer to shine the player's shoes for 500 Bells. Kicks's shoe-shine changes the player's footwear (i.e., the color and appearance of their socks and shoes). He will not charge the player if their shoes do not change after shoe-shining.

The player may choose whether their footwear should be matched by color or by style. If "Go by color" is chosen, the dominant color of the player's worn clothing items and hair color is taken into consideration. Kicks doesn't seem to distinguish colors too well: for example, a player wearing pink clothes and accessories may receive red shoes, and vice versa. If "Match my style" is chosen, the dominant style of the player's worn clothing items is taken into consideration.[1]

Like hairstyles, there are different footwear for male and female players, but Kicks will eventually give the option of wearing footwear of the opposite gender. If the player is wearing the Rainbow Feather, Kicks will let them choose their shoe color.[2]

Kicks

Description NTSC-U: Crikey! This shoeshine has really come up in the world. He used to work in a faraway city, but now he runs a shoe store with an impressive collection of shoes to choose from. And you can tell from that sharp-looking hat he's wearing that his is a style you can trust.

PAL: Hello, chum! This friendly shoe shop owner used to shine shoes in the city, but now he's managed to save up enough money for his own little shop in town. His outfit might make him look like he sweeps chimneys for a living, but don't worry - you definitely won't find any soot on his wares, awright?
