The bottom screen while in Festival Plaza shows two large buttons: Battle and [[Trade]]. Battle leads to the options Link Battle, Visit the [[Battle Spot]], and Download Rules, while Trade leads to Link Trade, [[Global Trade System|GTS]], and [[Wonder Trade]]. After the shutdown of Nintendo Network on April 9, 2024, only the Link Battle and Link Trade options from among these are still functional, and only if the player's console can connect to another nearby 3DS over local wireless.


If the player connects to the Internet, the game will grab a list of other players to be new guests in the player's Festival Plaza. The oldest guests previously in the player's Festival Plaza will be replaced with the newer guests; any VIPs the player has registered will remain as VIPs regardless. The player can register a guest as a VIP by finding them outdoors in Festival Plaza or by paging them indoors courtesy of the woman in the back-left of the castle, and then speaking to them. The guest and VIP lists each have a maximum of 50 people. Up to 100 people can also be placed on a block list.

If the player declines to host one of the facilities that Sophocles offers, he will present the player with an item tied to the facility's level. The player can only receive [[Festival Ticket]]s for 1-star facilities if they have previously spoken to the {{tc|Dancer}} outside the castle and received their first Festival Tickets.

At first, Festival Plaza is populated by seven facilities (with the seventh being added by Sophocles after the introductory Rank is completed). These initial facilities come in pairs, such as two food stalls, two lottery shops, and two fortune-teller tents, with an extra facility of another type in the last spot. As the player earns Festival Coins and Ranks, Sophocles will offer new facilities as rewards. These facilities can replace any of the seven existing facilities. Starting at Rank 8, the player can ask visitors if they know any good facilities, and they will respond with their favorite facility (first one on the right), which they will introduce to the player for a fee. In order to place a facility introduced by a visitor, the player must [[save]] the game. Facilities hosted by introduction will greet the player the same way the person who introduced the facility does and comment that they are highly recommended by the person.

Inside the castle in the center of Festival Plaza, the player can talk to the man in the back-right to remodel Festival Plaza. This allows the player to swap the positions of shops. The facility that appears first (rightmost from the castle entrance) is classified as the player's favorite and thus will be recommended to other players if they ask about any good facilities.
