Hello Kitty Party Land Nintendo Switch 1: Getting Started
Hello Kitty Party Land Nintendo Switch 1 launches you into a cheerful party playground packed with Sanrio characters, mini games, board games, and a surprisingly deep sticker collection system. Your first few hours determine how quickly you unlock the food court, the sky farm, and the hidden crystal cave, so follow this guide to make the most of day one.
Video Highlights:
- How to collect stickers through greetings, hide and seek, and mini games
- Unlocking partners like Bats Maru through board games
- Finding the food court quest with Patty and Jimmy
- Earning the drone camera from Dear Daniel at the photo studio
The game rewards exploration above all else. Every character you greet, every backdrop you photograph, and every puzzle you clear feeds into your sticker book and coin balance.
Spend your first session greeting every character on the map. Each first greeting can reward a sticker, and stickers can decorate your t-shirt in-game.
Sticker Collection Guide
Stickers are the core collection mechanic, and there are multiple ways to fill your sticker book pages.
| Method | How It Works | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Greeting characters | Walk up to each character on the map and greet them | Easy |
| Hide and seek | Play rounds in the plaza | Easy |
| Lavo puzzles | Clear puzzle challenges around the map | Medium |
| Mini games | Clear on all difficulty tiers | Medium |
| Photo studio backdrops | Take a photo with a new backdrop, then exit | Easy |
| Watching credits | View the credits sequence | Easy |
Open your sticker book and hover the cursor over any missing sticker. The game tells you exactly where to get it, which saves hours of guesswork.
Coins and Board Game Progression
Coins fund everything: tools, outfits, and shopping mall goodies. Board games and mini games are the most reliable income source.
Board Games
- Best coin income
- Unlock new partners like Bats Maru
- Required for board progression
Mini Games
- Fast sessions, steady coins
- Difficulty tiers add replay value
- CPU opponents available
Sky Farm Chores
- Use upgraded tools for coins
- Steady passive income
- Requires tool investment first
To unlock all three boards, follow this order:
Complete the Flower Festival board
This is the first board and gates the rest. Finish it fully before moving on.
Clear the next unlocked board
Completing the second board opens the third and final board.
Play all boards repeatedly
Replays earn coins and can unlock additional partners for your roster.
Inside the sky farm's secret cave stands a tree that drains your coins when you linger nearby. Limit your time around it.
Sky Farm, Secret Cave, and Food Court
The sky farm is your early-game investment hub. Buy tools from Grandma Ume's shop in the mall, then upgrade them to boost coin payouts.
| Tool | Where to Get | Upgrade Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Shovel | Grandma Ume's shop (mall) | More coins per use |
| Watering can | Grandma Ume's shop (mall) | More coins per use |
| Net | Grandma Ume's shop (mall) | More coins per use |
| Fishing rod | Talk to the character near the water at the sky farm | Free starter tool |
The secret cave in the sky farm unlocks through a puzzle. Inside you will find treasure mini games with Choco Cat and a secret shop where your active partner may leave you gifts, such as glasses or a bow. The longer you spend with a partner, the more likely gifts appear.
To unlock the food court in the mall, find Patty and Jimmy, choose the Help Out option when passing them, and complete their mini game. They reward a chef hat and open the side entrance, letting you cook treats for characters across the map.
You can change facial features and skin tone at any time through Sugar Bunny's makeup area, so do not stress over your initial character creation choices.
Camera Unlock and Day-One Checklist

Use the basic camera he gives you, then talk to him again.
Take a new-mode photo

- Greet every character on the map for stickers

Is It Worth the Price?
The game launched at roughly 40 to 45 British pounds, and early impressions suggest that price feels steep for the content offered so far. The mini games are fun, the Sanrio roster includes lesser-known characters alongside fan favorites, and it works well as a family party game, though CPU opponents can be inconsistent. Waiting for a sale is a reasonable strategy if you are on the fence.
| Aspect | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Character roster | Broad, includes lesser-known Sanrio characters |
| Mini games | Fun, with difficulty tiers |
| CPU opponents | Inconsistent but serviceable |
| Family play | Strong fit for couch co-op with loved ones |
| Launch price | Feels high; a 25-30 pound range would fit better |
If you love cozy Sanrio games, you will enjoy this one. If you are budget-conscious, add it to your wishlist and grab it on sale.
