Story Mode

Story mode is available in single player mode. In story mode, you play as one of 12 Harvest Moon characters as he or she tries to discover why Sunny Island is being overwhelmed by crops. As soon as you pick them, they seem to grow back!

When you first start story mode, you can choose to play as Mark or Chelsea. As you play through each person's side of the story, you'll unlock more characters and their own side of the story.

Each story mode has about 7 rounds of play with cut scenes in between each round. The puzzle matches will either be Team Score, Team Crops, Score, or Survival. Sometimes you'll be playing against the other characters, and othertimes you will work together to finish the goal of the round. You can't skip the story outline that plays before each match.

Playing through story mode once will unlock mission mode.
