Summary
It’s true thatHello Kitty Island Adventureis all about fun and relaxation, but there are still a few pointers that newbies can use to get the most out of their island experience. Crash landing on a new island with a whole new set of adorable animal neighbors does sound like a dream, but it can also be a bit overwhelming.
Relaxation is at the top of the to-do list, but so is crafting equipment, tending to the adorable Sanrio cast,learning new recipes, and fully furnishing a brand-new house. Having fun is the main goal at the end of the day, but other gamers may want a small idea of what else they can do on their new island. Here are some ofthe best tips and tricks forHello Kitty Island Adventurenewcomers.
9Don’t Sweat Character Creation
Your Cute Critter Isn’t Set In Stone
Character creation can be a lengthy process; with all the different facial features, animal types, and colors, it can get a bit overwhelming. While in some games,character customization is permanentafter being confirmed at the beginning of the game,Hello Kitty Island Adventureisn’t as unforgiving. Don’t stress too much over character customization, it can always be adjusted afterward at any mirror.
Not only is it possible to tweak character customization, but it’s also encouraged! Leveling up friendships with the other Sanrio islanders will unlock new colorways to the many character customization options already available.
8Gift Everyday
Build Friendship Meters With Sanrio’s Adorable Cast
While getting lost in adventuring across the vast island can be easy, it’s important to take care of the other neighbors. Don’t neglect the other Sanrio folks! Each character has a friendship level with the main character and, as it grows, new rewards unlock.
One of the easiest ways to level up a friendship level with a character is bygifting them goodiesthey like. Each character can receive three gifts every day. Make sure to make the rounds every day and give everyone their three gifts to level up friendship faster and more efficiently.
7Hunt Down Mailboxes (And Ziplines)
Travel In Style
The overworld map can be a bit overwhelming and scary at first glance, but don’t fret, Cinnamoroll has just the solution: mailboxes. The mailboxes inHello Kitty Island Adventureact as the game’s teleport points and are activated for future use after the first time players interact with them.
Afterunlocking a mailbox, players can then use it as many times as they wish to fast travel around the island. When happily exploring the island for the first time, make sure to keep an eye out for all the mailboxes; they will make it easy to fast travel afterward.
6Prioritize Tools & Equipment
Unlock Crafting Recipes Before Anything Else
Right from the beginning of the game, the player is bombarded with tons of quests. Regardless of how tempting all the other quests look, it is always best to prioritize the quests that require atool or equipment.
Any quest that requires the player to use a specific type of equipment or tool will lead the player to acquire it or the crafting plans to make one for themselves. Optimize exploration time by not walking around empty-handed, ensuring that flying critters can be caught with a handy net or sea creatures can be hooked with a fishing rod.
5Be Patient
Resist The Urge To Timetravel!
Any avidAnimal Crossingfan may know theart of time travelall too well. Although it was never really encouraged and only truly reprimanded in olderACgames, most players have had at least one experience using time travel. Time travel entails manually changing the clock on the console to fool the game into thinking the adjusted time is the correct time, seeing up things like crop growths, seasonal events, and more. However, time travel is strongly discouraged inHello Kitty Island Adventure!
Don’t give in to the urge to jump around from day to day. To make things fair, the developers even send a letter in the mail (in-game) to new players, letting them know all the repercussions for breaking their rules against time travel.
4Use Your Bouquets
Make The Most Of Your Day
Players will automatically be gifted thesebeautiful flower bouquetsfrom the developers (found in the mail section in the menu). Don’t overlook these floral delights! There are two kinds of bouquets: friendship bouquets and island bouquets. Using the friendship bouquet will immediately reset all islanders' gifts for the day, allowing players to give another three gifts to up their friendship levels yet again. The island bouquets allow players to reset all the island’s resources.
Once it seems like all the daily tasks are done, use a bouquet for a quick reset. This will maximize the progress players can make in a single day by bypassing the regular 24-hour reset.
3Always Look Up
Make Use Of Stamina and Climb, Climb, Climb
While the default stamina bar can make climbing a bit difficult, it’s a task well worth the trouble. It can be easy to forget about the climbing mechanic, so always take a breather to stop, look around, and climb every hill or mountain in sight.
Every so often, treasures (and other secrets) are hidden in plain sight, sitting right at the top of a steep hill. Work towards those preciousstamina apple slicesand conquer every mountain and hill.
2Scavenge Everyday
Make Sure To Take Your Daily Stroll Across The Island
All the resources found around the island only respawn once every 24 hours, so don’t waste any time. These island resources are precious and are especially key in the first hours (and even the first couple of days) of the game. Make sure scavenging is high on the list ofHello Kitty Island Adventuredailies as it ensures players will have the items they need for bothgifting and crafting.
If there are any resources left on the island, they will simply disappear at the reset time. Don’t let these rare resources go to waste. Make sure to traverse the whole island at least once a day.
