Reddit user 10001010010101001010 recently shared anAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsclip showing their character front flipping into the ocean. The video begins with the Villager passing a house and a small lake that are surrounded by cherry blossom trees. These trees appear on any island during Spring, and the petals can be used to craft numerousseasonalNew HorizonsDIY recipes. The player continues to run as they approach a cliff that drops down at least one level, but instead of stopping dead in their tracks, they jump off the cliff. Despite the bottom of the drop having a rocky shore, the Villager does a front flip into the ocean and performs a shocked expression before swimming away.
How Can Players Replicate This Front Flip?
Like with all actions in the ocean, a player has to acquire a wetsuit before they can do this trick. There are different wetsuit patterns, but any will suffice. The wetsuit can be purchased atNook’s Cranny inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsor the Nook Terminal at the Town Hall for 3,000 Bells. For players to do a front flip, they must hold down the B button and run toward a cliff or pier. Upon reaching the edge, the player is required to push the A button without releasing the B button or the directional thumbstick. If done correctly, their character will perform the action, enabling a more stylish dive than simply entering the water from the beach.
As many gamers hadn’t seen this front flip before, this video may inspire an influx of lapsed players returning to the game. It’s currently unclear if Nintendo intendsto updateAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsagain, making little-known animations like this a potential reason to log in.
