Animal Crossing, Wild World, has a lot of the same characters as the original Animal Crossing, but with a new twist. One of those is Gulliver, who used to be the clumsy sailor that washed up on the beach. Each time you ‘rescued’ him from the beach he would give you a rare Gulliver item, usually a piece of furniture that resembled monuments and statues from various parts of the world.

Gulliver in AC: Wild World is a lot harder to talk to. You have to shoot his spaceship down from the sky with your slingshot when you see it going by the top screen. I decided to post my sister’s theory on Gulliver, which has worked for me this week.

1. During any weekday, talk to Booker. If he says something along the lines of “I’m so sorry! I’ll be more careful!” that means either Gulliver or Pete will be flying across the sky during the day.
2. Stand outside the town gate. When the time has a “7″ in the minute spot, Gulliver should fly by. If he does not, then Pete will fly by at 9 AM and 5 PM and you can shoot him down. According to my sister, all he does is talk about Phyllis which is lame because she a lot more rude than Pelly.
3. According to my sister, Gulliver tends to fly by every other week.

Isn’t that interesting? Of course, it would really only be interesting to people obsessed with Animal Crossing. Heh. No, seriously, I’m not crazy.
