In Hello Kitty Party, players help Hello Kitty and SANRIO friends - including Keroppi®,  Badtz-Maru, My Melody and others - plan and throw a super fun party. Players can send out personalized party invitations; design and iron the perfect dress; shop for party fare; play puzzles and match games; and dress Hello Kitty in a variety of outfits and accessories. In addition, players can have fun in the kitchen-washing, slicing, frying and cooking party food before the guests arrive. When the party is in full swing, players can also show off their moves in the Dance Contest!
