How to get Fast Flippers in Hello Kitty Island Adventure
There is a whole underwater world to explore in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, filled with new resources to gather and quests to complete. Sadly, swimming under the water can be pretty slow, but there is a way to speed things along. The underwater areas of Island Adventure open up for exploration once you’ve unlocked the basic Flippers through Keroppi and unlocked the Snorkel through Kuromi. It’s a vast space, rivaling the landlocked areas in size and secrets, but it can take a long time to explore. If you want to upgrade your Flippers to the faster version, here’s what you need to know.

You’ll only be able to get them once you’ve completed a long list of quests: “Open the Nature Preserve” (Keroppi level 2) “Comic Relief” (Hangyodon level 6) “Bring Back the Swing” (Pekkle level 5) “Fire Up the Volcano” (Retsuko level 11) “Swimming Lessons” (Retsuko level 17) “A Long Awaited Introduction” (after unlocking Merry Meadows) “A Clue on the Shore” (after completing all of the above) “Island Stone” (after completing “A Clue on the Shore”) “Rain or Shine” (after completing “Island Stone”) I know this looks like a dreadfully long process, and it is, but you’ll be able to complete these quests through regular gameplay as a natural part of progression. Completing “Rain or Shine” will unlock rain on Friendship Island, and it’s this rain that you’ll need if you want to unlock Fast Flippers because the rain will make Rainfall Flowers emerge in any area where it happens to be raining. These flowers can be watered using the Watering Can, just as you would water Gift Flowers. Every time you water a Rainfall Flower, you stand a chance to get the Fast Flippers recipe. Once you’ve got that, you’ll need to continue watering Raindrop Flowers to get 50 of their usual resource, Raindrops. Once you’ve got the recipe and the required 50 Raindrops, you can craft Fast Flippers at either of the Crafting Tables in Seaside Resort or Gemstone Town. You only need your original Flippers and the 50 Raindrops to make Fast Flippers. Are Fast Flippers worth it? Screenshot by Destructoid In a single word, yes. Fast Flippers dramatically increase your swimming speed both on the surface of the water and while diving. This is useful for underwater exploration because it means you’ll be able to get further using less stamina. The effect will also stack with character abilities and potions, so you can team up with Hangyodon, consume a Swimming Speed potion, and zip through the waters of Rainbow Reef at lightning speed.
