Totally Real!: Guide to Mystery Island

So, you've got tickets to sunny Mystery Island for the annual Gadgadsbogen festivities, but it's your first visit, and you're looking to fill out that itinerary? Look no further than Totally Real!:Guide to Mystery Island! We've got you covered with a list of things to do, places to see, and even a couple to avoid at all costs. Let's dig in! 1. The Tropical Fruits Shop On the western side of the island sits the Tropical Fruits Shop. If you're here for the Gadgadsbogen Festival, you might want to make this your first and last stop! By the end of the festival, some Tropical Fruits will stop growing on the island, and a new generation will take their place! Grab some old fruit while you can, and be sure to pick up some of the new! Totally Real! Gadgadsbogen Fact: An elder of the Pango Tribe, currently Cinto Pango, announces the list of new Tropical Fruits at the end of each festival! 2. The Singing Stones Stones carved into the shape of heads can be seen across Mystery Island, but those that sit near the Rock Pool are especially interesting. The expertly carved stones here have had small airways tunneled through them. As the wind passes through these tunnels, the carvings almost seem to sing! Totally Real! Gadgadsbogen Fact: Some believe that the "songs" the stones sing during the festival foreshadow which Tropical Fruits will disappear! 3. The Underwater Chef's Restaurant Though most of his time is spent whipping up meals for Mumbo Pango, he also heads a successful restaurant/academy. The menu here is designed to perfectly highlight each available Tropical Fruit, so there's bound to be something you'll like. Make sure to reserve a table before your visit, though, as there is rarely room for walk-ins! Totally Real! Gadgadsbogen Fact: At the end of every festival some menu items are retired...

The Plight of Petpets
While our pets are often afforded the royal treatment, spending extended periods of time lounging about the Neolodge or filling themselves to contentment at Kelp or The Golden Dubloon, how often do our Petpets ever get such nice things?
