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.

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.

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.
