The island is the main location in Tomodachi Collection and Tomodachi Life. There is only one main island in the former, while the latter adds a smaller island to the right of the mainland to accommodate the new locations added.

The player must name their island upon starting the game, but can be renamed later in Tomodachi Life. It is entirely inhabited by Miis that they are supposed to take care of. These Miis can be put in the game through transferring them from a Nintendo Wii in Tomodachi Collection, making them from scratch in both games (through Mii Maker), or using ones made on a Nintendo 3DS system and scanning QR Codes in Tomodachi Life. In Tomodachi Life, the overworld map's soundtrack changes to a Christmas variation of the theme in December for all times of the day; duration varies depending on regional version.

Island Address[]

Address

The island address is a feature exclusive to Tomodachi Life. Its purpose is making the island unique and recognizable, so as to distinguish it from other islands found in StreetPass.

Travelers received though StreetPass will state the name of their original island. Clothes and hats received through StreetPass/SpotPass will display the name of the island they came from (usually Nintendo Island in SpotPass) and will be able for purchase in Import Wear.

The island address consists of the island name, a 5 or 6 digit number code, an isle name, and an ocean name. Everything is randomly generated besides the island name. Isle and Ocean names will always use the name of a food item.

Here is an example:

Tomodachi Island
567-231
Soda Isles
Mango Ocean

Quality of Life[]

A news report announcing the introduction of Quality of Life.

The Quality of Life is a number given to the island that generally describes how many luxuries it has to offer the Miis. In Collection and the Japanese version of Life, it is already unlocked at the start of the game, and located on the island info board (Collection)/office (Life). In the Western and Korean versions of Life, it is unlocked at the same time as the Campsite, unlocked after a grown-up baby has been sent as an explorer. It has no actual effect on gameplay and is unknown what increases or decreases the Quality of Life on an island. However, the Mii News report suggests that raises by the total happiness levels of Miis.

Trivia[]

  • In Tomodachi Life, the location of the island varies in cutscenes. The "Unbelievable" dream shows that the island is located somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. However, the Super all-time favorite food cutscene shows that it is located somewhere in the Arctic Archipelago. The latter is the most likely answer to where it is definitively located, as the former scenario is a dream and, therefore, most likely inaccurate.
  • You can name an island for up to 6 characters only in Tomodachi Collection. In Tomodachi Life, you can name it for up to 10 characters.
