Avoid Bee Stings Easily
To easily avoid being stung by a bee, simply press ‘Start’ and select ‘Save and Continue.’ This will refresh the environment and cancel the flying bees, avoiding the need to run into a building or to try and catch them. The beehive will still be on the ground after the save completes.
Easier bug and fish catching!
When hunting for a certain type of catch, such as sharks or palm tree bugs, this trick will help. Search the area where you are looking for the creature, and if it isn’t there hit start and save, but continue playing. This will reset the bug and fish spawns in your game, and it only takes a few seconds.
Skip Kapp’n’s Song
While traveling to or from the Tropical Resort, while Kapp’n is singing tap the the B button rapidly. He’ll suddenly stop singing and say a few things and then drop you off. This saves a lot of time.
