There are a total of 48 Challenge Courses to take on and complete, with a varying number of them in each distinct area. Compl♓eting Challenge Courses will reward Trophy Pieces as well as the plans needed to make the trophies. Each course has a Bronze, Silver🀅, and Gold tier time.

The starting point for every Challenge Course takes the form of a flower on a stick, belo🦩w which you’ll find a pink platform. When you stand or run over this platform, Athlete Coins will appear on the land, or Obstacle Rings will appear if the course is underwater. 

The aim of any Challenge Course is to run around and collect all of t🦩he Athlete Coins, or swim through all of the Obstacle Rings. Each tier requires you to complete the course in a certain amount of time, and you’ll earn one Trophy Piece per course when you complete the course within the required time. 

With those Trophy Pieces, you can then think about crafting the Trophy💧 for each ar𓃲ea. However, you’ll need to complete every Challenge Course in an area before you can craft each Trophy. 

Every Challenge Course in Hello Kitty Island Adventure

The 48 individual Challenge Courses are split across the seven individual areas of Island Adventure. To mak꧙e this easier, let’s split this by area and then go through the location of each Challenge Cou🔜rse.

  1. Oasis Race
  2. Cactus Garden Chase

There are a surprisingly small number of Challenge Courses on Mount Hothead, with only six on the volcano, and some of them won’t become accessible until you’ve worked through a substantial amount of the story quests unlocked by leveling 🔯up characters. It is, however, possible to reach the top of the volcano before this point if you’re stubborn enough, although I wouldn’t recommend doing so. 

Here’s each of the Challenge Courses located🦩 onও Mount Hothead:

  1. Caldera Plunge
  2. Hothead Hot Foot
  3. Hot Spring Hustle
  4. Lava Rock Drop
