What is what to do when you see a shooting star in animal crossing?

When you see a shooting star in Animal Crossing, here's what to do:

  1. Look up at the sky: Make sure your character's view is directed towards the sky. You can do this by pressing up on the right joystick or tilting your Nintendo Switch upwards if you're playing in handheld mode.

  2. Wait for a shooting star: Shooting stars appear randomly at night, usually between 7 PM and 4 AM. They often occur during meteor showers, announced by Isabelle during her daily broadcast.

  3. Put away any tools: Ensure you aren't holding any tools like nets, fishing rods, or shovels. You need to have your hands free to make a wish.

  4. Press A: When you see a shooting star, quickly press the A button. Your character will put their hands together and wish upon the star. You will hear a distinct twinkling sound.

  5. Collect Star Fragments: The next morning, check your beaches. Star%20Fragments, large star fragments, and zodiac star fragments will wash up on the shore.

  6. Use Star Fragments: You can use these fragments to craft various celestial items using DIY recipes, often obtained from Celeste when she visits your island at night.

Important Notes:

  • You can wish upon multiple shooting stars in a single night.
  • The number of Star%20Fragments that appear on your beach the next day depends on how many wishes you made. There's a limit to the amount that will spawn.
  • You can also receive zodiac fragments based on the current zodiac season.
