Harvest Moon GBC 3

Story

The latest Harvest Moon game for Game Boy Color is located on an island. Similar to Harvest Moon 2, you can choose to play either as a boy or a girl. The goal is the same (save the farm) but the way each gender is played is different! It's two games in one!

• The hero has done well in reviving the farm by Flower Bud Village (Harvest Moon 2). One day Mr. Heinz comes to visit and tells the hero about his friend who runs a farm on an island far away. Unfortunately his friend has died and now his daughter is going to take care of the farm. The girl doesn't know the first thing about farming so Mr. Heinz hopes that the hero will travel to the island to help her revive her father's farm.
• The heroine use to live on the island with her father Harry when she was a child. She eventually left the island to explore the world, but one day she received news that her father had died. She returned to the island in order to take care of her father's farm. The heroine never had the opportunity to learn how to run a farm from her father, but Mr. Heinz has told her that he has a friend who is coming to the island to help her.

There are now two world maps instead of just one; the Island map (where your farm resides) and the Mainland, where you go to buy equipment for your farm. Since the Mainland isn't accessible every day you're going to need to plan things in advance. Other features include:

• More Animals - Now instead of 4 of each animal you have 8
• Horses - Eight horses are better then one! You can breed them and enter them into the semiannual horse race.
• Specific Tasks - The boy farmer is assigned to taking care of the crops while the girl farmer takes care of the animals
• Marriage - Will you marry your partner or live the single life?
• Part Time Jobs - Everyone could use more money on the farm, pick up a part-time job and earn some quick G.
• New Locations - Now there's more then just the Village, Mountains, and Farm. Go visit the Theater or the Aquarium!
• And lots more!

Boy as a partner

At first your partner will do a bad job doing his chores, but it will improve alongside with your relationship with him. In the morning talk to him to get him working that day. You'll be given an overview map of the crop field and choose where you want him to work. There are 6 different jobs he could do.

• Clear: He will pull weeds, smash rocks, and chop up stumps
• Till: He will hoe the ground in a 3x3 shape, but if you buy The Farm Story 1 and The Farm Story 2 from Lyla's book store then he will till the soil in a sideways U-shape and in a 2-line shape
• Planting Seeds: Remember you can only plant seeds on soil that has been tilled. Pick this job and then pick which seeds you want him to plant.
• Water: You won't have to fill up his watering can for him
• Harvest: Have him pick mature veggies and put them in the Storage bin. Keep in mind that he can pick a lot but the Storage bin can only hold a maximum of 99 of each item. Anything extra he picks above 99 is wasted.
• Auto: You'll receive this ability near the end of 1^st year Spring. He will do anything he wants. If he is set to do Auto on a patch of crops he'll water the crops but he will also till any untilled soil and plant seeds

Girl as a partner

At first your partner will do a bad job doing her chores, but it will improve alongside with your relationship with her. In the morning talk to her to get her working that day. In order to have animals you need to have grass growing in the pasture area of each breed of animal. And she won't take care of the pasture area so you'll have to do it for her. Also you will need to trade the Shampoo tool from a girl version to your boy version in order to have her take care of sheep. There are 4 different jobs she could do.

• Animals: She will feed and brush the animals
• M-E-W: Gather produce from the animals (Milk, Eggs, Wool)
• Anything: She will feed the animals and gather produce! This chore isn't an option until the Spring 9th.
• None: Don't take care of the animals that day

1. Tilling soil on your farm
2. Tilling soil on your farm
3. Tilling soil on your farm
4. Tilling soil on your farm
5. Tilling soil on your farm
6. Tilling soil on your farm
7. Gift from Marla (see Mermaid's friendship event).
8. You'll need to run into at least 20 logs and trees at Snowboarding Game.
9. Help Cozy fill the tanks in the Aquarium and see Catch the King! event
10. Accept the bribe from the Harvest Sprite (see The Volcano Erupts event).

Your tools will eventually level themselves up with use. You will hear a chime sound when your tools level up. To use the tool in its more powerful form just press the A button down until you hear a different chime. The tools that power up are the Sickle, Hoe, Axe, Hammer, and Watering Can, and just the boy who gets Upgrades.

Rice and Wheat

You can buy Rice and Wheat Seeds at the start of 2^nd year. They resistance to Summer hurricanes, but vulnerable to earthquake. I recommend to wait until the earthquake pass to start planting rice and wheat. Remember to not use Fertilizer on them, it won't affect them. And put your Scarecrow to protect you Wheat (yes, rice didn't get eaten by wild animal). Also you need to plant rice on water. Rice and Wheat will mature after 60 days and harvest them using sickle.

Fertilizer

The benefit of Fertilizer is your Crops will grow way faster than normal. The only plants that are not affected by Fertilizer are Rice, Wheat, and Grass. You need a Garbage Disposal to create Fertilizer (see TV shopping on the Farm event to get Garbage Disposal). It will convert your rotting produce in your Storage Bin into Fertilizer without your intervention. You have to use the Fertilizer before plant your Crops in order for the Fertilizer to work. The soil that has the Fertilizer on it is a lighter color of brown. Also the Fertilizer will stay on the ground throughout the seasons. The only things that will wash Fertilizer away are the same things that destroy your Crops.

Sprinkler

Sprinkler will water a 9×9 square of ground, whether it's Crops or dirt, every morning by itself. In order to work, you need to put the Sprinkler in a square of water. It won't get in your way, since you can walk over the Sprinkler without any problems. The only problem is you only get one.

Pets

When you start your game, you have 8 Pets you can choose from. Pets will help you if they're left outside over night (they don't mind the rain).

• Big Dog: Protects your animals. If you leave your livestock outside over night with the dog outside as well, the next morning they won't be grumpy. Remember though; there has to be mature grass for the animals to eat while they're outside and it can't be raining.
• Medium Dog: Same as the Big Dog
• Small Dog: Same as the Big Dog, but a lot cuter
• Pig: Bring you little bits of money in the morning
• Pink Cat: White cat on the selection screen, appears pink in the game. Bring you random Spring seeds.

Farm

This is where you live. Next to the Storage Bin is the Hot Springs. At the beginning of your game there's nothing there but if you go inside you'll find Shovel laying on the ground. Pick it up and start digging until you reach water and the next day a Hot Springs will magically appear.

Village

All of the houses are locked and you can never go into them (what a bummer). There are 6 villagers; the Elder, Billy, Elza, Bigbee, Kate, and Kirk. Kirk will be at the shore with his ferry on Mondays and Thursdays, but if the weather is bad he won't be there at all. He will stop taking you to the Mainland after 06:00 PM, but if you're on the Mainland after that time he'll always "make an exception" and take you back to the Island. When you finally have your own boat, it will be in the southwest corner of the Village, next to the lighthouse. You can take your boat to the Mainland whenever you want, even in bad weather.

Grassland

In the Spring, Summer, and Fall you'll find produce on the ground that you can ship. You can also chop up the tree stumps here to use for lumber. When you leave the Grassland and then go back, everything will magically regrow. During the Winter you can snowboard here, but you'll need to buy the snowboard from Lucus' Shop first.

The Cliff is a pretty empty place. You will see many event here and you can view the Mainland in the distance.

Mountains

The Mountains is a pretty empty place. You will see event The Volcano Erupts here.

Forest

When you enter the forest your path through is randomly generated so it will look different each time to go in. At the end of the path you'll find the only spot on the Island to catch Large Fish without having access to a boat. When you leave the fishing area you'll be transported to the beginning of the Forest. To leave just use the exit to the south.

Located in the lower right corner. Talk to the lady behind the counter and she will explain the job offer. The nice thing is, you can decline and choose another job if you don't like the offer after the job explanation. You have 30 days in order to complete it. When you have completed the job call the Farmer's Union from your house and pay you at 06:00 PM. The amount of money you earn depends on the type of job, how many days you had left to complete it, and how many jobs you've completed so far. The jobs will increase difficulty the more you do, so one day you may be asked to ship 90 of something.
Part-time job money calculation.
job money = original payment + (days left × total jobs completed).

You can also get your Cows judged by the Union. A higher Love level results in a better judging (it's a good idea to only register Cow that have 10 hearts). You can't judge pregnant Cows, young Cows, or Calf and a Cow can be judged once.

And you can also enter your Horses in the Horse Races. There is a Derby race (male Horses) and a Filly race (female Horses). Once you enter a Horse into the race you can't get it back, so make sure that you're ready to give up your horses. It's always a good idea to only enter Horses that have 10 hearts. You can see if your horses are winning by purchasing the Cherry Cup Report (available on Spring 15) and the Gallop Stakes Report (available on Fall 15). Once you buy the reports they'll automatically update with the yearly winners while they sit in your bookshelf.

Marriage

Getting married requires you to have a high Love level with your partner. You can raise your Love level by giving your partner items that you've produced on the farm. Your partner will go through 8 Love level stages before he / she asks if you want to get married. You can tell how high your partner Love level by talking to them after finished doing chores and back in the farm house.

You will have the wedding ceremony 5 days after the proposal.

Marriage Life

After marriage don't ignore her Love level. Continue to give her items like before and soon one morning she will tell you that she's pregnant. The unfortunate thing about pregnancy is that your wife won't do any of her chores for 2 seasons (60 days). On the morning of the 60^th day, Nancy the Nurse from Harvest Moon 2 will arrive on your farm to help your wife deliver the baby. The gender of the baby is random. Your baby will stay in it's crib for 30 days. After that it will begin to walk around your farm house. The child will never be able to help you with any of the farm work. Your wife can become pregnant a second time so you can have two children total.

Besides just the speed you complete the course in, your score also includes the difficulty of the tricks you do. The more difficult the trick, the higher your score can be. When you're going down the slope and you come across the mogles, hit one and press the A or B Buttons to gain mega-air. Then press the buttons in a certain order to complete the trick.

• 1 point: Left, B | Right, B | Left, Left, A | Right, Right, A

• 10: Up, A, Down, B | Right, A, Left, B | Left, A, Right, B
• 100 point: A, Up, B, Left, A, Down, B, Right, A

Once you pass the regular slope you can try the advanced course. Everything turns bright pink and there are a lot more obstacles to avoid. You can earn a Power Berry from snowboarding. You need to hit at least 20 trees and logs.

There are 6 different ways to trade with your friend.

• Trading Animals: You can trade young and adult animals. When you select an animal its name, condition, and gender appears at the bottom. Its love level will appear in the middle of the screen. Love levels are scaled between 01 and 99, so if you see an animal with a love level of 62, you know it has a total of 6 hearts. Any animal you trade will have its love level reset to 01. The only exception are Golden Chickens, who will lose their love level like all other animals but will still give Golden Eggs as though they had a love level of 99. You can't trade animal if your friend doesn't have room in their barn and pregnant animals.
• Giving an Animal: If you want to just trade 1 animal to your friend then select this. Your friend will be asked if they wants the gift; accept to continue. Select the animal you want to give and have your friend accept the gift.
• Trading Seeds: You can trade one bag of seeds at a time. Pick the seeds you want to trade and accept the prompts.
• Giving Seeds: Same as trading seeds but you give seeds to your friend.
• Trading Tools: If you want to trade tools select this. You can't trade the Hoe, Sickle, Shovel, Watering Can, or Axe. You can trade all of the other types of tools though. You can even trade the maker you use to make Mayonnaise, Butter, Cheese, Knit, and Yarn.
• Giving Tools: Instead of trading a tool for a tool you can give one to your friend. Select which tool you want to give them and have your friend accept the trade.
• Exit: Leave the trading menu and return to the title screen.

In fact the only way to get the girl partner to take care of the sheep is to trade the Shampoo from a girl version to a boy version. After that when you ask your girl partner to take care of the animals or do "anything", she will take care of the sheep instead of telling you she took care of 0 animals. Don't worry about the lack of Shampoo in the girl game you got it from, because she can go to the Farmer's Union and buy a new bottle.
