Hello Kitty Island Adventure: How To Unlock Ziplines
While exploring Big Adventures Park in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, you may have come across a few ziplines that appear to be broken. Luckily, there is a way to repair each one, and it's rather simple, but first, you'll need to build up your friendship with a few of the island's residents.
Ziplines are a great way to get around the island, especially if you have yet to unlock all the fast-travel mailboxes in Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Plus, they often help you reach higher points in each area, which can be a great way to access some of the higher mailboxes while you still have lower stamina.
How To Unlock Ziplines
Increase Pochacco's Friendship Level
Unlocking ziplines in Hello Kitty Island Adventure is done through a quest in the All The Right Tools category. However, like most of the quests in the game, there is a specific resident who will unlock the quest after reaching a specific tier in their friendship, and in this case, it's Pochacco. Additionally, you will also need to have completed the "Power Up The Gate" quest, which is done through Chococat's first friendship level and opens up access to the Spooky Swamp.
Thankfully, unlike unlocking the Water Can with My Melody, which requires a level 14 friendship, unlocking the zipline quest with Pochacco only requires reaching level four. The lower the level of friendship, the quicker the heart fills, so level four is relatively easy to reach within the first day or two of gifting, especially if you attempt to give the best gift you can.
If you're doing this quest late in the game because you never completed it, you may have already unlocked Hello Kitty's companion ability, which boosts the rate of friendship when gifting. If you have, be sure to have her tag along while gifting to help you reach level four even quicker.
For Pochacco, his ultimate favorite three-heart gift is Pochacco's Energy Pop, but since this isn't available until unlocking the Soda Machine in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, it's unlikely you'll have access to this yet. In that case, the best early game one- and two-heart gifts for Pochacco include Everything Pizza which is made in the Pizza Oven on Mount Hothead using Spinip from the Spooky Swamp, Tofu from Hello Kitty, and Dough from Retsuko, but if you can't make that either, just Tofu is also a fine gift.
How To Complete The "A Zipline Adventure" Quest
Use Sparks To Power Up The Zipline
Once you have the quest unlocked, meet up with Pochacco who will show you one of the ziplines, specifically the one in Seaside Resort. He will ask for your help in getting them working again and suggests you speak with Chococat, who may be able to help repair them. While speaking with Chococat, he will explain that the only way to get the ziplines working again is by using Sparks, which he will give you the crafting recipe for.
Thankfully, crafting Sparks is rather easy, especially if you've been working on your friendship with Kuromi. To craft Sparks, you simply need three Light Stones, which are Kuromi's friendship gift in Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Since you don't typically use these for anything but Sparks, you should still have a decent stock of them if you've befriended her at all. Head to Chococat's crafting station to craft a couple of Sparks and then return to the zipline, which you will now be able to power up.
After you activate it, you'll watch a small cutscene in which you, Chococat, and Pochacco will ride the zipline over to Spooky Swamp and this will complete the quest. From here, you're free to unlock the other ziplines at any time, as long as you have the Sparks available to do so.

Where To Find Every Zipline In Hello Kitty Island Adventure
Unfortunately, after unlocking the initial one that connects Seaside Resort and Spooky Swamp, there are only two other ziplines in Hello Kitty Island Adventure to unlock, at least for now. There is one connecting each of the four sections, but there is not one connecting Seaside Resort to Mount Hothead, presumably because Mount Hothead is somewhat intended to be the last area to explore.
All the zipline locations in Hello Kitty Island Adventure can be found in the table below:
Zipline | Image Reference |
|---|---|
Seaside Resort - Spooky Swamp |  |
Spooky Swamp - Gemstone Mountain |  |
Gemstone Mountain - Mount Hothead |  |
Note that the ziplines can be taken in either direction, so regardless of which side you're on, you can use them. Furthermore, if you ever have trouble finding them or forget where they lead, you can open your map and kind of see them. Just look for two wires connecting the areas on the map in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.
