Quest Description

"Leap out of the plane, balloon to the ground, and find your friends!"

Quest Information

The player wakes up on the Airplane with Hello Kitty asking if they slept well. The player can then choose the appearance of their Player Character, selecting their species, body style, eye style, mouth style, and palette, as well as what pieces of the starting clothing they wish to wear.

Hello Kitty suggestes that the player talks to the other characters on the plane to meet their new friends. The player only needs to talk to one other character, but it is possible to talk to anyone in the aisle seats of the plane. Some characters will remark that the island destination is quite a mysterious one. Chococat mentions being unable to find much of its history, like "the island appeared and disappeared with the amusement park." Kuromi talks about her initial doubts that the island really existed, having thought "it was an elaborate hoax." Even My Melody says that her "invitation to Big Adventures Park was mysterious."

After the player finishes chatting, Hello Kitty asks if you want some cake. While she is making the cake, the cake machine malfunctions, creating the need for a emergency escape! The Island Residents all line up to jump out the plane door, equipped with Balloons to use to float to safety. Hello Kitty will give the player balloons of their own when they reach the door. (Floating is a good skill for the player to have, but, no matter how far the player falls, the landing is always safe!)

Out of the plane, some Obstacle Course Rings will appear between the player and the ground. The player does not need to go through all 4 at the moment, but doing so will allow the player to find the Island Challenge Airplane Trophy near the landing zone. (If unsuccessful, more attempts can be made later in the game.)

The player lands in the Seaside Resort. With them are Hello Kitty, Chococat, Badtz-maru, Tuxedosam, and Pochacco In the Resort Plaza, Hello Kitty will ask the player to find My Melody and bring her back to the plaza. She will give the player the Map application for their Menu Tablet to help them navigate the island. Receiving the map application causes a mini-map to appear in the top left of the player's screen when not in a building. (Clicking the mini-map or using the up arrow on a controller's D-pad also opens the full map.) Additionally, Pochacco gives the player a Strawberry and requests that they give it to My Melody when they find her.

My Melody is on a path to the upper left of the plaza. When the player offers her the strawberry, she explains the basics of gifting and likes (or item tags) and encourages the player to give gifts to every Island Resident in order to become better friends.

The player leads My Melody back to the plaza and talks with Hello Kitty. My Melody remarks that Kuromi is missing. As Chococat notes, also missing are Hangyodon, Pekkle, Pompompurin, Keroppi, and Retsuko.

A mysterious hologram appears temporarily in the plaza, confused but seemingly attempting to greet the Island Residents before it disappears again. Chococat wants to investigate the mystery and find everyone, so he runs off to set up a camp. Hello Kitty suggests that everyone split up. Badtz-maru does not think it is a good idea to split up on an island without any staff, but My Melody says that she is supposed to be staff and that she sees her store nearby. Hello Kitty has a cafe for herself, too. Every character except Badtz-maru runs off to explore the buildings, and then Badtz-maru complains but goes to investigate the beach. Before he leaves, he tells the player to check on My Melody in her gift shop.
