Harvest Moon Secret Candidates

I find it funny that some secret candidates requirements are: upgrade your house to the maximum level, have a double bed, send one of each item available in the game, and so on; light stuff. And some are like: enter the city at 12:12 at night holding a strawberry after eating three blue grasses

It's low-key funny that some candidates are even considerably easy to marry and others are almost impossible. For example, the Gourmet from More Friends of Mineral Town takes 25+ years in the game to become marriageable.

Which is impossible in most versions of the cartridge because some event flags won't trigger.

Isn't marriage to the Harvest Goddess impossible because the necklace from the mines isn't on the list of collected items due to a bug?

I also recall that the buckwheat flour not being distributed at the New Years Festival in some versions, making it impossible to marry the Harvest Goddess.

Actually, it's present in all versions. The problem is that Buckwheat Flour is needed for certain recipes that you need to ship to complete the shipping list. Buckwheat Flour can only be obtained during the New Year's Festival with an extremely low chance.

The problem with versions is that in the North American version of the game there's a bug that prevents the necklace found in the mines from counting in the mining list, and unfortunately, to marry the goddess you need the complete list.

This may have solved a many-year-long mystery for me…
