Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town / GameBoy Adv.
Easy Money In Summer
To gain at least 1,000 gold every day in summer, you don't have to grow crops or harm your stamina mining. Just collect grasses. Each grass pays at least 100 gold. collect three in three different places(the hot springs, by the lake mine, the woods by the wood cutter's house, and the beach). do this daily and collect 1,000 gold a day. This hint best works in the summer for there are more grasses grown in that time.

Summer: Pineapples (Zack's house)
Autumn: Sweet Potatoes (Supermarket)

Help From Harvest Sprites
To get help from the Harvest Sprites, give each of them a lot of bread, which you can buy in the supermarket. The gnomes love bread. After you feed them, their heart points should rise to 3. You can now ask them to do your work (watering, taking care of animals, harvesting), or you can play a game with them. Do not forget to give them some bread each week (one piece for each) to maintain their heart level.
Chickens
Build a fence on your field and throw your chickens in there. Since they are trapped in there, they cannot run around your farm and be difficult to find. They will also find their own food in the same area everyday, so you do not need to feed them.
Horse
When you get your horse, always talk to and brush it. When it is an adult, ride it all the time. In two or three days Barley will appear. If you did not take good care of your horse, he will take it.
Getting a Girlfriend
If you want a certain girl to be your girlfriend, make sure you bring her things she that likes at least once everyday. Find out what her schedule is, so that you know what she is doing at each time of the day. Always talk to her and bring her some of your crops that you grow. If she does not like something you give her, do not give it to her anymore.

Avoiding Crop And Animal Problems
Save the game before you go to bed, just in case you forgot to feed your animals, water your crops, etc. You can just turn off your game, turn it back on, and re-do what was forgotten the first time.
Harvest The Middle Crop
Notice that if you plant seeds then water all nine spaces with a level 2 or higher watering can, you will not be able to reach the crop in the middle without cutting a stalk from the sides. However, if you recruit a Harvest Sprite to harvest crops for you, it can walk through the crops and harvest the middle one. This is only useful for crops that can be harvested more than once though.
Angry People
Buy a lot of Gold Lumber, then put it in your field. The next day, an event will occur in which almost every character will visit and yell at you. This includes the Mayor.
No Fatigue With Tools
On certain events, the clock on the bottom right will disappear. When you now use a tool, it will not take down your fatigue. This makes it easier to bless some cursed tools by just swinging a lot.
Winery Sign
The sign on the Winery says that it is closed on Sundays only. However, it is actually closed on Saturdays.
Snow Referred As Rain
In the winter when you talk to the officer, he will say that its raining instead of snowing.
