How to wish on stars in Animal Crossing?

The shooting stars are available in a number of different varieties and are a rare crafting material in the game. And since there isn’t any other way to get Star Fragments in the game, meteor showers are quite uncommon. Before you wish upon a shooting star, you actually need to find one.

The best way to find a shooting star is going to a place which allows you to view a large patch of the sky. Once you find the right place, you simply need to wait for a chime-like sound, which indicates that a shooting star is about to pass overhead. Once you spot a shooting star, you simply need to press ‘A’ as you spot a shooting star. Once you press the button, it will result in you making a wish. You can constantly hit the ‘A’ button every time you see a shooting star. However, if you were able to spot a shooting star but you failed to make a wish, you don't need to worry. This is because more and more stars will come afterwards, meaning you will have enough time to be ready.
