Hello Kitty Island Adventureis packed with content for you to complete as you run around the island and make new friends. From a wide range of quests to mysterious puzzle rooms, you’ll never run out of things to do. On top of this, you’ll also be able to participate in several unique mini games.
In this guide, we’ll take a look at where you can find all of the six mini games in Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Overall, the games are fairly simple to get the hang of, but we’ll also go over how you can successfully complete each one.
How To Play Mini Games
to play mini games, you’ll need to useone Game Ticket.This is the pass into a mini game, but thankfully, they aren’t too hard to get a hold of. Each day,three Game Tickets will appear in the Seaside Resort plaza.This is where you begin each day, so you don’t have to travel too far.
You can also get Game Tickets from Weekly quests and special events that are happening. For example, here at TheGamer,theLuck and Lanterns Celebrationis occurring, with Game Tickets as a possible daily reward.
Once you unlock the Gamer ability for Badtz-maru (at friendship level nine), you’ll be able to getone free mini game attempt each day.For this to be active,you’ll need to have Badtz-maru as your companion.
Bogging For Apples
The first mini game we have is Bogging For Apples. This mini game is similar to the challenge courses; you’ll bechasing down white apples that are spread throughout the maze.In total, there are25 apples, and you’ll have 60 seconds to grab them all.
The premise is simple, but since it’s set in a maze, it’s easy to get turned about. Overall,to get all 25 apples, it’s essential to have some sort of speed boost.With theSpeed Walker ability(from Pochacco), you can walk faster.
If you have Pompompurin’s Pudding Pants ability, you’ll be able tojump over the edges, which is great if you want to avoid backtracking.Lastly, consider using theSpeedy Walking Potion,which can be made after you unlock potion-making with Kuromi. This potion doesn’t work if you have Pochacco’s Speed Walker ability, butit combines well with Pudding Pants.

The Incredible Hello Kitty #3
Seapony Racing
Ever dream of become a seapony racer? While this isn’t quite the same,you’ll be able to bet on seaponies and potentially win big.After forking over a Game Ticket, you’ll be asked topick a seapony that you want to support.
The race itself iscompletely random;there is no way to ensure that your pony does well. As such, there is no way to guarantee first place. Overall,this really isn’t a mini game in the typical sense, but there are still some nice possible rewards.
Reward for 3rd Place
Reward for 2nd Place
10x Seashell
Reward for 1st Place
Nordic Stool
6 different music discs
We played this ten times in a row andonly got first place on the final attempt.If you aim for first place and plan on collecting all the furniture pieces, expect to spend a lot of tickets.
Gem Match
Gem Match is anuntimed matching game that tasks you with interacting with gem nodes in order to reveal their color.One Game Ticket gives you two turns, with each turn consisting of activating two gem nodes. If you manage to get a match within these two tries, you’ll get a free turn. This means thatif you continuously get matches, you may keep going with the same Game Ticket.
If you fail at getting a match after the first two sets of guesses,your attempt will be over.Thankfully, you can just pay another Game Ticket to pick up the game where you left off.The ‘board’ will still have the same colors,so it’s important to remember the revealed gems each turn.
The best piece of advice we can give is to simplyremember what you activate.Sometimes, luck isn’t on your side at the start of the game, but as you reveal more gems, remember the colors. If you reveal a matching color,you can return and reactivate the past one.
Reward for a Match (given upon making the match)
2x Iron
2x Shiny
1x Ingot

Rockadoodler Roundup
To compete in this mini game, you’ll first need tocomplete the quest called Rockadoodler Roundup,which is given by Pekkle after reachingfriendship level eight with him.
This game is exactly what it sounds like;use your net to round up some Rockadoodlers.A Game Ticket will give you60 seconds to catch all 15 found in the area.While this may sound simple, it can be tricky at times. Rockadoodlers act like normal critters;they can be scared off and chased around.
If you go out of bounds during this mini game, the game will end and your Game Ticket will be returned to you. If you manage to catch at least one before going out of bounds,you’ll just get three eggs.
Unlike the last two mini games we mentioned,companions can really help here.Similar to Bogging For Apples,Pochacco’s Speed Walker ability is great.you may also opt for Keroppi’sCritter Friend ability,which makes the Rockadoodlers get startled less. This lets you just walk up to them and swing your net.
We suggestcombining the Critter Friend ability with aSpeedy Walking Potionin order to have the best chance of rounding up all 15.
Catch 6 or less Rockadoodlers
3x Egg
Catch 7 to 14 Rockadoodlers
5x Egg
7x Eggs
Other Possible Rewards (for catching all)
1x Egg

Red Hot Rampage
Red Hot Rampage takes place in an underground,platformer-like area where you will need to navigate through ledges and staircases in order to gather 14 Magma Blooms in 180 seconds.This game is difficult, to say the least. Getting all 14 Magma Blooms can beincredibly hard if you don’t have any companion by your side.
In terms of companions to have, we suggestPompompurin(jump higher with Pudding Pants),Pochacco(walk faster with Speed Walker), orKuromi(boost balloon height with Super Balloon).
You can also use aThermal Potion, which boosts balloon flying height.This is essential, as many of the Magma Blooms are quite tricky to jump to. The Hello Kitty Island Adventure Discord community has come through though,providing a map on Reddit highlighting the best path through the mini game.
It’s important to keep in mind thatthis mini game is hard no matter what.Chances are, you’ll need torun through it dozens of times to get all the rewards.
Rewards
You’ll get to keep all the Magma Blooms that you gather.
Grab less than 3 Magma Blooms
Grab between 4 and 7 Magma Blooms
Grab between 8 and 11 Magma Blooms
Crane Craze
Last but not least, we have Crane Craze. This mini game islocated in the Merry Meadows, which needs to be unlocked first.You’ll also need tocomplete the quest called Petal Puzzle, given by Wish Me Mell, which gives you access to the Temple.
The game itself is an oversized crane game, where you willuse a big crane hand to grab boxes that float around on lilypads.Before playing, you may choose between eitherEasy or Hard mode,with each difficulty having different prizes.
When the game starts, the lilypads will be moving around;you’ll use the large buttons to position the crane hand.When lined up in a manner that you like, you’ll then need tostep on the giant purple button to drop the crane hand down.
Consider lining up your crane hand in a cardinal direction,such as all the way towards the waterfall. This may help you time the crane hand with the crates. We also suggesttargeting a box from the start of the game.This will help you focus on learning one pattern,rather than the pattern of every crate that is floating around.
If you successfully grab a crate, you’ll then be able toopen it with the pickaxe.Grabbing a crate can be difficult, especially since the lilypads are constantly in motion. It’s a good idea toget a sense of the timing in order to plan your future crane hand drops.
Rather than dropping the crane right as a box passes underneath,try to anticipate it and lower the crane in advance.When the crane is fully lowered, it should line up with the crate. With Wish Me Mell’s level 13 ability (Precision Play),the crates will be slowed by 25 percent in Hard mode.This ability is essential if you want to grab crates.
The rewards for Crane Craze work a bit differently than other mini games. When you fail to catch a crate, you’ll get three Pollen Puffs, but all other reward crates are marked with the item it contains. Not all crates appear at the same time, butthe crates that do spawn will always hold what is displayed.
