Hello Kitty Island Adventure has many different biomes within the island, but each one of them has something in common — they are all surrounded by water. This means players will need to be able to swim from location to location within the game. However, when players first start the game, they won't be able to swim.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure: How to Get Starfish

Rainbow Reef is home to a variety of crafting resources in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, one of them being Starfish.

Once players get a couple of the first quests done, they will be able to unlock Flippers. These will come in handy since some areas are almost unreachable without swimming. Having Flippers will allow the player to be able to swim almost anywhere at any time in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

How To Get Flippers In Hello Kitty Island Adventure

Players will need to travel to different locations within Hello Kitty Island Adventure in order to complete quests and also find the other passengers on the plane. Flippers are a great tool that players can use to access these areas — especially since they will always be equipped with the character, making island life easier.

To get Flippers, players will need to complete a couple of quests and also raise some friendship levels. So, while it might seem like a lot, this guide will break it down. Players will need to complete the "Small Gift, Big Smile" quest first so that then the "Power Up the Gate" quest will be unlocked. Then, players will need to complete that quest, which opens up the gate to one of the other biomes of the island.

Once players have unlocked the gate, they will want to explore and find Keroppi, who will give them the "Finding Flippers" quest. He can be located in the Spooky Swamp part of Hello Kitty Island Adventure. After players have been given the quest, they will be required to gather materials to craft the Flippers.

Players will need one flipper and one strap. Keroppi will give players the flipper needed for the recipe, but players will also need to find a strap to successfully craft Flippers. Finding a strap can be the hardest thing for a player to do out of this whole process, but it isn't too onerous. Players will need to travel north into Spooky Swamps and then go to the wooden structure above the water. Players will find the strap around there. After that, players can head back to their crafting table where they will be able to craft the Flippers. Once crafted, they will automatically equip the player and won't need to be equipped again.
