"Bad Ending"

To recieve a "bad ending" for the game, at the beginning of the game simply tell the Mayor that ou won't take care of the farm. He'll say something along the lines of "oh, that's too bad" and the credits will roll.

Harvest Goddess Game

During the first week of Spring, if you go to the left channel on your TV, and keep pressing left until the Harvest Goddess shows up, she'll let you play a guessing minigame that gives you prizes for a good amount of answers in a row. Good way to make money at the beginning of the game.

PS. Can be used during any Year, but has to be the first week of Spring.

Make tons of money early in the game.

Befriend Won by giving him gold ore every day until he lets you play his apple sorting game AND sell stuff to him. It shouldn\'t take more than a season or so.
Play the apple sorting game and get a raffle ticket from him. Save and then try to get three numbers in a row. (1-2-3, etc.)
He should give you the record titled "Love" as a prize.
Now, sell it right back to him over the counter for up to 170,000 gold! You can do this repeatedly, for tons of cash early on in the game.

Turning Soil to Normal without Wasting Energy.

Let's say you messed up with your hoe, go get a fence log and deposit it on the messed up tile, then remove it. The tile should be back to normal. This also works with any objects you can deposit on the field (rocks, branches). Your character won't lose stamina/gain fatigue while doing this.
