• Customize your Street Surfer
An electric scooter can be an extremely useful tool for getting around Hawaii. Your Street Surfer comes with a nifty function that will automatically take you to your destination. If the battery runs out, you won’t be able to move the scooter until you recharge it at one of the charging stations scattered across the city.
Furthermore, you can also customize the body and wheels of your Street Surfer, so modify it to your liking and have fun zooming across town!
• Record Suspicious Passengers on the Trolleybus!
Trolleybuses are a popular means of transportation in Hawaii. While onboard, you can chat with your friends, or play the Sicko Snap mini-game. The aim of Sicko Snap is to snap as many clear pictures of different sickos as you possibly can.
■ Tap Into the Island’s Bountiful Resources – Walk, Swim, and Grow Stronger!
There are potent recovery items, weapon materials, and rare equipment scattered throughout the city. The island is filled with hidden treasures, so leave no stone unturned! Search through palm trees, take a dip in the water, or even try rummaging through trash cans or peeking inside toilets to see what you might uncover!
Collecting Items and Ingredients:
• Palm Trees
Shake palm trees or destroy sandcastles on the beach to find ingredients or other items. Cooking can turn your ingredients into healing items that can be used during battle.
• Dumpsters
You can find rare weapon-strengthening items from dumpsters and obtain magazines from free handout boxes.
• Safes and Containers
Instead of finding safes like you would in Japan, there are containers stashed around Hawaii. To open them, you’ll need the right key, but they often contain powerful equipment or useful items that can be used to raise your stats.
• Swimming
Swim freely in the waters of Hawaii! You can dive into the ocean to find ingredients like fish and seaweed. You may even come stumble upon trash.
• Fishing
You can find people fishing around Hawaii. Borrow a fishing rod to join in on the pastime. When you feel a bite, quickly tap the corresponding button to reel it in. You can catch anything from seaweed and fish to some really rare ingredients, so make sure to give it a try!
• Paper Blessings
Kamulop, who, for some reason, once asked Kasuga to collect Tojo Clan crests in Yokohama. It seems that it has started working as a mascot character at a shrine in Hawaii. If you pick up paper blessings, you can hand them to Kamulop and exchange them for fortune points. You can
trade in fortune points for powerful weapons and amulets.
The points you gain from a paper blessing will vary depending on the fortune of the blessing, so try to collect as many Best Fortune slips as possible.
