Hello Kitty Island Adventure: 9 Best Tips For Beginners
Much like Animal Crossing, Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a lot to take in for beginners, but with these tips, they’ll be comfy and cozy in no time.
Usahana loves gifts with Imagination, Mochi, and Rainbow tags, so choosing gifts with these tags is essential when increasing friendship with her. Currently, Usahana doesn’t have any three-heart gifts and cannot reach Best Friend status in the game. However, increasing friendship levels with her is still important for progressing through the game and unlocking additional activities and items.

Rainbow Beam
A Good Renewable Option
- Tags: Rainbow
- Hearts: 1
- Gift Value: 3
In Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Rainbow Beams are rare and valuable items found in City Town during and after rainfall, but they can only be collected after unlocking rain. To access them, players must complete the ‘Rainbow or Bust’ quest, which requires finishing the ‘Renovation Imagination’ quest and unlocking the Aquafall Machine by completing the ‘Rain or Shine’ quest.
Three Rainbow Beams spawn daily, with an additional three appearing after each rainfall. These radiant treasures serve as valuable currency, allowing players to purchase items from My Melody and Tuxedosam’s shops or to craft useful tools and items for the adventure. While gifting them to Usahana may not be the most optimal choice, it remains a worthwhile option.

Boba
Can Be Made With Items That Regenerate Daily
- Tags: Imagination, Tea
- Hearts: 1
- Gift Value: 3
- Recipe: Tea Leaves, Any Basic Ingredient, Optional Modifier
Boba is crafted from Tea Leaves combined with any basic ingredient and an optional modifier for a personalized touch. These modifiers include choices like Coral Milk, Tapioca, and Honeycomb, which can influence the flavor profile, such as adjusting sweetness by adding 1-3 pieces of Honeycomb. Usahana will accept any form of Boba as a gift, with all having the same effect on friendship.

Dango
Made At The Chef’s Station In Imagination Cafe
- Tags: Imagination, Mochi
- Hearts: 2
- Gift Value: 3
- Recipe: Stick, 3 Mochi
Dango becomes available once friendship level six with Usahana is reached. Much like Boba, it offers the freedom to be customized with a variety of flavors, allowing for endless possibilities. Whether it’s a sweet or savory combination, any flavor is a strong gift for Usahana. Dango is prepared at the Chef’s Station, offering a fun and creative cooking experience for players.
However, it’s not the most efficient gift choice due to the number of ingredients required to make it. Players must combine three Mochi for just one Dango, making it a much more resource-intensive option. Using Mochi as a gift would be a much more effective alternative as they have the same gift value.
4
Mochi
Available Earlier Than Most Other Gifts
- Tags: Imagination, Mochi
- Hearts: 2
- Gift Value: 3
- Recipe: Rice Flour, Any Basic Ingredient
Mochi is available to make once players reach level three friendship with Usahana, making it one of the easiest gift options on this list. To prepare it, players can use Rice, which is given by Usahana when gifted, to create Rice Flour. For the additional ingredient, Pineapple is a great choice, as nine are readily available each day at the Seaside Resort.

Mochi is one of only two gifts that grant two hearts with Usahana, alongside Dango. However, Mochi is the better choice for gifting, as it requires less effort to craft and can be easily customized using whatever basic ingredients the player has on hand. This makes it a more convenient and versatile option for building friendship with Usahana.

Colorpillar
The Most Readily Available Option
- Tags: Critter, City Town Tag, Rainbow
- Hearts: 1
- Gift Value: 4
The Colorpillar is an excellent gifting option for building early friendship with Usahana in Hello Kitty Island Adventure. It can be found in City Town, with common locations outside the Imagination Cafe, near the City Center Plaza, and around the City Critter Park Plaza.
Available throughout the day, the Colorpillar is easy to catch and offers a straightforward, effective way to boost friendship. Unlike many other gifts, it requires no additional resources or crafting — just a net to catch, making it a convenient and efficient choice for players.

Plush Pals
Good Value For The Material Cost
- Tags: Plush Pal, Decorative, Creative, Rainbow
- Hearts: 1
- Gift Value: 5
Plush Pals can be purchased at the Piano Plush Pals shop in City Town, but players must first complete the ‘Piano Plush Pals’ quest to unlock it. This quest becomes available the day after completing the ‘Rainbow’s End’ quest, which helps My Sweet Piano decide what to stock in her new shop.

Colorful Lamb Plush
High Material Cost For A Great Value Gift
- Tags: Creative, Rainbow, Cloud, Wood
- Hearts: 1
- Gift Value: 7
- Recipe: Lamb Plush, Art Supplies or Lamb Plush, Rainbow Beam
The Colorful Lamb Plush is the most complex item to craft on this list, but it’s well worth the effort for its high gift value and friendship XP. To begin, players must craft a Basic Plush using three Wool, which can be easily obtained as a gift from Usahana. Once players reach friendship level six with Usahana, they can combine the Basic Plush with a Stick to create a Lamb Plush. Finally, at friendship level ten with Usahana, players can use the Lamb Plush along with either Art Supplies or a Rainbow Beam to craft the Colorful Lamb Plush.
It can also be obtained by playing the Crane Craze mini-game on hard mode, located inside Merry Meadows Temple at Merry Meadow. To play, players need Game Tickets, which can be collected three times daily from the Resort Plaza in Seaside Resort.
