Hello Kitty Island Adventure offers various tools to help you navigate the island, with Flippers being one of the first essential items you’ll acquire. They enable you to take a dip in the water, allowing you to explore new areas.
To get your Flippers, you must first find Keroppi, a friendly frog residing in Spooky Swamp. He’ll generously provide one of the necessary materials. However, locating the Straps can be a bit tricky since they’re safely tucked away in a chest. Once you’ve crafted your Flippers, you’ll be able to use water to access shortcuts and discover hidden spots.
How to Craft Flippers
Once you unlock Spooky Swamp, you can find Keroppi the frog there. Cross the bridge, and climb the purple hill with wooden planks. If you keep heading east, you’ll come across him.
Ensure you have activated the Finding Flippers quest, which you can start by approaching any body of water.
When you interact with Keroppi and reach a level one friendship, he will share the crafting plans for the Flippers with you. At the crafting table, combine one Fin and one Strap to make the Flippers.
Keroppi will provide the Fins once you become friends, so that’s one part of the recipe covered. However, finding the Straps can be challenging since they aren’t found out in the open world nor given as quest rewards.
You can find Straps only inside a specific chest at this stage of the game. Head north into Spooky Swamp. If you walk along the wooden path above the water, you will discover the chest there.
How to Swim
Flippers will automatically activate when you enter water. Swimming significantly enhances your exploration in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, allowing you to take shortcuts. You can quickly reach Spooky Swamp by swimming from the right side of the large gate.
Additionally, you’ll unlock new puzzles and areas that were previously unreachable. One of these new locations is Mount Hothead, which you can access by swimming northwest.
You won’t run out of stamina while swimming, so feel free to explore to your heart’s content.
