The Fountain is a location in Tomodachi Collection and Tomodachi Life that serves as a location for Miis to hang out, as well as being the place where island donations are collected. Several events are also hosted at the fountain, differing depending on the game and region. It is unlocked early on in the game, as the result of the player's Mii deciding to collect donations from residents to improve the island.
In Collection, the fountain is the only location that serves as both a hangout spot and a host for daily events. Between events, Miis can be witnessed playing instruments in preparation for the Street Live performances. In Life, possibly in reference to this, Miis with the guitar gift can occasionally be seen playing it by the fountain.
Events
Donations
This event is present in both titles in the series, serving as the introduction to the fountain. During the daily donation event, all islanders line up by the fountain to insert coins or bills into a glass piggy bank, or a white box in the Japanese releases.

The item being sold changes daily.

Street Live performances are held from 12 to 1 pm as well as from 9 to 11 pm in Collection. During each daily performance, a set group of Miis will play a song on instruments (a tuba, triangle, and accordion during the afternoon, and a guitar and flute during the night), with another Mii watching. Once the song finishes, the watching Mii will applaud, and the player can join in by tapping the touch screen to clap. The band will continue playing until the player quits out of the fountain.

English Lesson
The English lesson is held from 3 to 4 pm, as well as from 7 to 8 pm exclusively in Collection. During the event, one Mii serves as an instructor and will ask another Mii several questions about themself in English while two other Miis watch. The instructor starts by asking their name and following with questions about other personal information such as their birthday, favorite color, best friend, how many clothes they own, or whether or not they own a specific gift. The participant responds to each question in English. After six questions have been asked, the lesson finishes and the watching Miis applaud, returning the player to the map screen.
Rap battle
The rap battle event is exclusive to the North American and European localizations of Life, taking place from 6–7 pm or 7–8 pm, respectively. During a rap battle, two Miis will exchange rhymes to insult their opponent. A battle ends when one Mii fails to come up with a rhyme, thus making their opponent the winner.
Rap battles vary in duration. At the very least, a given battle will comprise three valid lines and one slip-up, lasting just over 40 seconds. Most battles fall within the range of 3–7 valid lines, though some may have as many as 19, spanning almost 3 minutes. If the number of islanders allows it, each Mii will have a posse of two other Miis behind them to cheer them on.
Text in rap battles can be skipped with A as normal. In this case, a Mii will begin rapping at the beginning of the next closest measure.
Word Chain
Word Chain takes place from 5:30–6:30 pm in all regional variants of Tomodachi Life save for the North American release. In this event, Miis must continue a chain of words based on either "treasure association" (treasures), "food association" (foods), or "general word association" (both categories) by saying the name of a food or treasure that uses the previous word's last letter (e.g. Apple → Eggplant → Tiramisu). If a Mii repeats a word that was previously said, they lose and the event ends.
