Trivia[]
- This is the first time you can have a customizable animal character in a Sanrio game.
- The gameplay of Hello Kitty Island Adventure is similar to that of Nintendo's Animal Crossing franchise.
- Adult cartoon series South Park referenced the title 'Hello Kitty Island Adventure' 17 years before its existence in the season 10 (2006) episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft", with character Butters Stotch; it was used to loosely refer to Hello Kitty Online at the time. According to the game's developers, they did not use the reference in the show as an inspiration for the game.
- This game marks the first appearance of Big Challenges in any Sanrio product. This is explained in-game as him having been frozen for years on end.
