Dōbutsu no Mori e+ is the only version of the original Animal Crossing to not be packaged with a promotional memory card (even the N64 Dōbutsu no Mori included a themed Controller Pak). This is because the game's extra content expands the maximum file size to 72 blocks: 57 for town data, 5 for saved letters at the post office, 5 for saved patterns at Able Sisters, 1 for NES save data, and 4 for travel data. While GameCube memory cards were officially available in larger 251-block and 1019-block sizes, all first-party cards bundled with games were manufactured exclusively in the minimum 59-block size.

However, unlike amiibo card villagers, the new villagers in Doubutsu no Mori e+ are not present in the game's code. Instead, it allocates a portion of its save data to e-Reader villagers and fills in this blank space using information encoded on the cards themselves, namely a villager's name, physical appearance, initial catchphrase, personality, favorite song, and house type. Over 20 years after the game's release, dataminers discovered that this mechanic permits players to import custom villagers through the e-Reader alone, provided the necessary data is properly formatted.

The song, "K.K. Birthday", would later return to the series in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, with the same requirements to hear it. Unlike Dōbutsu no Mori e+, however, it now has an aircheck version.
