Head to Big Adventures Park, where My Melody is opening a shop and various Sanrio characters join in on the tropical adventure. Things don’t go smoothly upon arrival, so the game begins by trying to find everyone in the group. After that, try to restore the theme park to its former glory \u2014 or better! Players get to customize their character, with different animals, body types, and colours to choose from. Then, dress them up! The more you play, the more clothing and accessory options you will gather. Make friends with everyone on the island, do quests with them, craft items, solve puzzles, decorate cabins, and more.<\/p>\n
