Girls Mode 3 Color Palette

Girls Mode 3 introduces a reason to take pictures in game: the color palette. You start off with only a few colors in each shade, but when you go to different locations and take pictures you can show the pictures to a girl in the park. If you’re lucky she’ll find a new color in the photo and it will be added to your color palette. You can then use those colors for hair, makeup (and presumably clothes design, but I haven’t unlocked clothes design yet).

Either you can run around and take pictures of everything hoping there may be a color in the photo (did that), or you can chat with people who have rainbow colored exclamation marks next to them for a hint about a photo to take. Here are the color palette colors with the photos I used to unlock them. I’m not sure if it’s more helpful to be in palette order, or location order, but I’m going with palette order for these.

Since the game is in real time, I’m missing a few seasonal colors and I haven’t unlocked a couple areas or seen a few cutscenes for colors. I’ll add in those pictures as I unlock them. There may be duplicate images because some images give you more than one color.

Also note, these are direct translations of the Japanese names and the English names may change when (crossing fingers) the game gets localized.

Girl’s Mode 3 and Amiibos

Yesterday FedEx showed up with my much anticipated copy of Girl’s Mode 3 (that’s the third installation in the Style Savvy series as it’s called in English). I promptly started streaming it and you can listen to me ramble and squee over at YouTube or if you’d like to watch it in real time and advise me against certain terrible outfits, follow me on Twitch.tv

One of the first things I wanted to do was see how amiibos functioned within the game. I can’t stream that functionality because while I do own a Japanese new 3DS, it cannot stream, so I bought the physical copy of the game hoping I could switch the cart between the two systems and have my cake and stream it too. 😉 It read the amiibos easily, but I hadn’t done any investigating and I was too excited to actually read the text when it read them. I thought I would immediately be granted the items the amiibos unlock:

  • Mario unlocks a Mario hat
  • Peach unlocks her crown
  • Kirby unlocks a Kirby purse
  • Yoshi unlocks a Yoshi hoodie
  • other amiibos unlock a star barrette

But the game makes you work for these items. Once you’ve scanned the amiibos special customers come to your store. It’s quite obvious (maybe not the one that’s wearing the star barrette) that they’re special because they’re wearing the special items and they want you to make outfits for them that match those items.

HNI_0006

On another note: these customers are all Girl’s Mode versions of the Miis that are registered as the owners of your amiibos. So the little silver-haired girl is their interpretation of my silver-haired mii for my New 3DS. And the cute Princess Peach blonde—that’s my mii on my US wii because I used her for playing Mario Party the other day.

Here’s where I went wrong. I loaded these customers into my game after only playing for an hour. I hadn’t even unlocked the exhibition center where you buy more clothes for your store, so all I had to work with was the starting stock. So, when the girl with the kirby purse wanted an outfit to match her purse, I made her happy. I just didn’t make her happy if you know what I mean. 😛

The original girly outfit I made to match the kirby purse.

She liked the clothes. She even bought the clothes, but she didn’t give me the purse. And I really wanted that purse. So after I had purchased some more clothes I re-scanned the amiibos and fortunately the customers showed up again. This time I gave the kirby girl a mostly pink girly outfit with a blue sweater (I was trying to match Kirby’s eyes).

My retry outfit. I still only had those shoes from the beginning, but everything else was new.

And here’s how she reacted to this new and IMO improved outfit:

Not only did she buy the outfit, but after that she gave me the purse too. Score!

I did the same thing with the girl wearing the star barrette. She wanted a pop-style outfit to match her barrette. While I didn’t have anything overtly star-themed, I decided to try yellows and blues and she mentioned that when she was telling me she liked the outfit.

HNI_0001

And wow did she like the outfit.

After checking out she gave me the star barrette.

"What a beautiful outfit. Here, I'm going to give you this as a gift!" and she gave me the barrette.

“What a beautiful outfit. Here, I’m going to give you this as a gift!”
and she gave me the barrette.

I still have to get the rest of the amiibo items, but at least now I know that I have to make them super happy with the outfits and that if I screw up for whatever reason I can just re-read the amiibos and try again.

Princess Peach's crown will be mine. Also, I really love what they did with my Mii. She's so cute!

The yoshi hoodie will be mine as well. I think I need a few more pieces of pop clothing though.

And just to rant about amiibo for a second, I’m really happy they didn’t make you use any of the really rare amiibos, because the only rare-ish one I have is Shulk (who I scanned btw. He just imports another star barrette customer). The main site shows the Mario Party amiibos, but you can use their Smash Brothers version instead. I used the Mario Party Mario, and Smash Brothers Peach, Yoshi, and Kirby.

And now, I have to try and get the rest of the items. Wish me luck!

Style Savvy Trendsetters: Baby the Stars Shine Bright

I feel like this is off topic…but I got some DLC items a few days ago for Style Savvy Trendsetters. I was really excited because the designer they were from “Baby the Stars Shine Bright” is an actual designer and has a store in San Francisco. I wonder if the in game clothes are real clothes?!

There were two outfits to download. I only took pics of one of them so far. And though the backdrop was cute I didn’t get pics of the shoes or tights. Maybe I’ll play some more later.

I’ve gotten to the final contest in the game and it’s hard! All the others were easy, but I’ve done this one twice and lost both times. I came in fourth last night which was just embarrassing.

Animal Crossing + Style Savvy <3

As a tie in with Animal Crossing A New Leaf’s Japan release, style savvy added two brands to their shop: “GracieGrace” and “Club 444”.

As you download the items, they are displayed on a revolving manequin.

The GracieGrace items


The KK Shirt with the front and back pictured.

Once I figured out how to get the items in game I rushed off to the photo studio to get professional pictures taken. The GracieGrace line includes five items a dress, sunglasses, hat, boots, and purse.

The Club 444 brand only has one item: a DJ KK T-Shirt.
