Much like how it was in previous games, Gyroids can be found buried underground just like fossils. When dug up, players will receive gyroid fragments. You can find these Gyroid fragments on islands you find on Kapp’n’s boat tour, which cost 1,000 Nook Miles. It’s important to remember that you can only go on one boat tour with Kapp’n each day, so be sure to scout the island out completely to make the most of your tour. You’ll also be given a Gyroid fragment from Brewster when you first meet him.

To get the complete Gyroid, players must re-bury the fragment and water it. If done correctly, a little puff of smoke will come out of the hole from where it was planted. The next day, the player can dig it up and find a full gyroid.

Gyroids can also be customized if you have enough customization kits to do so. So, you can feel free to color their Gyroid to match a room’s aesthetic. These items make distinct musical sounds while standing in your home, giving you the chance to try out unique combinations that make distinct noises while standing next to each other. You can also have music playing next to them to create a distinct rhythm.
