Whether you want to make the perfect gifts for each of the Sanrio villagers, or you just want to make one of everything it’s possible to make, you’ll need to venture far and wide and complete a long list of quests to unlock some of the equipment. 

Here’s how to unlock all of the major, most useful tools and machines in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

Cooking Stations in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

Cooking Stations are, at least to begin with, machines that can only be used in specific locations. Some of the Cooking Stations (such as the Oven and the Pizza Oven) can eventually be crafted and placed in visitor cabins, but you’re most likely to venture to their original locations. 

Here are all of the Cooking Stations currently available in Island Adventure on PC and Nintendo Switch and how to unlock them:

Cooking Station upgrades

Each of the Cooking Stations (except the Cauldron) can be upgraded when certain requirements are met. This allows you to cook using two additional ingredients on top of the base ingredient for each Station, rather than just one, unlocking further recipes to cook.

Here’s how to upgrade each Cooking Station:

  • Oven: Level 15 friendship with Hello Kitty
  • Soda Machine: Level 6 friendship with Pekkle
  • Dessert Machine: Level 13 friendship with Pompompurin
  • Egg Pan Station: Take 102 Gudetama photos
  • Pizza Oven: Level 9 friendship with Retsuko
  • Espresso Machine: Level 4 friendship with Hangyodon
  • Candy Cloud Machine: Level 5 friendship with Kiki

There are 11 player-based tools in Island Adventure that allow you to further interact with Friendship Island. These are invariably unlocked by leveling up friendships with villagers and completing their quests. 

These tools will either appear on the tool wheel (such as the Net, Fishing Rod, or Camera), or they will automatically become available to use when you approach an object that requires the tool (such as the Watering Can or Pickaxe). 

Here are all the player-based tools and how to get them:
