Friendship Beads
Friendship Beads are rewarded to the player when completing Friendship Tasks with another player via 
Multiplayer. When the player increases their Friendship Level with another player, they will be rewarded with special emotes, Friendship Beads, and unique multiplayer abilities. When speaking to 
Keroppi, Friendship Beads can be used to obtain special 
Event furniture. The player will unlock this feature while completing the "Friends From Afar" quest.
How to Earn Friendship Beads
A multiplayer host and guest need to complete friendship tasks to increase their friendship levels. A single Friendship Bead is earned after completing the level 1 tasks. Multiple beads are awarded for completing all tasks for level 6 and beyond; however, starting at level 6, completing a level also requires more than 1 week. The number of other players that a player can complete tasks with is not limited, so players can earn more beads by raising friendship levels with multiple people.
After a level's tasks are completed, the Friendship Bead must be claimed manually from the Friendship Tasks page. The tasks page is accessible through the Friendship Levels button in the multiplayer menu or by selecting the small 
multiplayer icon near the mini-map while a guest is on the island. Rewards earned with a particular friend can only be claimed while playing together with that friend.
How to Exchange Friendship Beads
Friendship Beads are used to obtain past Event furniture.
In order to exchange Friendship Beads for a reward from Keroppi, the player must speak to him while in possession of at least one Bead. The player should select the "I have Friendship Beads!" dialog option. Keroppi will then tell the player that they can exchange a certain number of Friendship Beads for an item. Each week Keroppi will have a different item that the player can obtain by trading with him. All trades after a player's first ever trade cost 2 beads each.
Multiplayer guests cannot exchange Friendship Beads with the host's Keroppi.
Multiplayer Friendship Levels
When a pair of players are in a multiplayer session together, they can perform tasks to raise their Multiplayer Friendship Level together. Friendship levels provide access to specific benefits, with an additional benefit added at every level, that can only be accessed while both players are playing together. Achieving specific levels also reward Friendship Beads.
Players can form as many Multiplayer Friendships as they like. Each new pair of friends starts with level 1 tasks.
Friendship Tasks
Friendship Tasks are tasks that can be completed with a friend to raise your Multiplayer Friendship Level. The rewards for a given level are granted upon completion of all tasks for a specific Friendship Level. You can do 3 tasks in each new level achieved every week. If a level has 3 tasks, you can complete it and start on a new level during the same week, which refreshes your 3 task limit. If you reach the 3 task limit and still have tasks remaining in that level, the limit will refresh the following Monday. If the maximum number of tasks are completed each week, it should take a pair of friends 16 weeks to complete all available friendship tasks.
Certain levels do have tasks that can be completed simultaneously, such as certain selfie tasks. It is possible to do tasks simultaneously, but only one of the two tasks will be registered as complete if done as the 3rd task.
For tasks that require completing a Challenge Course (or Mini Game), both players must collect at least one of the 
Athlete Coins (or Mini Game item) during a successful run. More advanced tiers of Challenge Courses do fulfill tasks for lower tiers, such as if you complete a gold-level course when it requires only bronze.
The player can access the task list for multiplayer Friendship Levels either through the Friendship Levels button in the Multiplayer application menu or by clicking the small multiplayer icon to the right of the mini-map.

Friendship Level Rewards
Each Friendship Bead must be manually collected from the Friendship Tasks page after completing the tasks for a level that rewards one. Ability and emote rewards are only available while a pair of friends are in a multiplayer session together. Each emote is actually a pair of emotes, so that a pair of friends can mirror each other's actions.

Multiplayer Friendship Abilities
These are further details on the abilities that can be unlocked.
| Image | Name | Information |
|---|---|---|
|
|
Basic Gifting | Unlocked after doing the level 1 task. This allows for a pair of friends to gift each other most furniture items, as well as other non-clothing items. Certain items (such as clothing stands are not giftable. Friends should stand near each other and use the giftbox button, like they would if gifting an Island Resident. |
|
|
Friend Cabin | Unlocked after completing all level 3 tasks. This allows a pair of friends to invite each other to move into Visitor Cabins on their islands. |
|
|
Stamina Drain Reduction | Unlocked after completing all level 5 tasks. As long as you are near your friend, your stamina bars will decrease more slowly than they would otherwise. This ability does require friends to be within a relatively short distance of each other to work.
The second level of stamina drain reduction is unlocked after completing all level 17 tasks and further decreases the rate at which stamina is used while near your friend. |
|
|
Stamina Boost | Unlocked after completing all level 7 tasks. When near each other, friends can interact with each other using the  Stamina Apple icon that appears where the character interaction button usually is. This causes friends to wave at each other and grants both a (temporary) extra stamina ring, colored pink instead of the usual yellow. The extra stamina ring does not refill and disappears after it is used up, but the players can use it again as long as they are playing together.
|
|
|
Teleport to Friend | Unlocked after completing all level 9 tasks. When accessing the map, your friend becomes another Fast Travel location. You can click on their icon on the map, or you can select "Your Friend" at the top of the Fast Travel location list. It will place you exactly where your friend currently is. |
|
|
Auto-Pickup | Unlocked after completing all level 10 tasks. As long as two friends are playing together, they automatically grab any nearby item without having to click on it. This works at any distance and even inside areas where Companion Abilities do not usually work, like in the Red Hot Rampage mini game. However, it does not work while riding the mine carts in the Crystal Caves. |
|
|
Clothing Gifting | Unlocked after completing all level 13 tasks. With this ability, friends can gift each other most clothing, including event clothing, with some exceptions. Any character-themed items, such as Character Hats and Gudetama rewards, cannot be gifted. Neither can the Golden Crown. |
|
|
Shared-Pickup | Unlocked after completing all level 15 tasks. One of a pair of friends collecting an item causes the other friend to also receive it. This only applies to basic materials picked up from around the world, including Game Tickets, the magma blooms picked up while playing Red Hot Rampage, and items obtained after watering pink flower buds and Rainfall Flowers. At this time, this ability does apply to event currency materials as well.
This ability does not apply to comics, Strawberry Crates, or any materials obtained through alternate methods, such as fishing, winning mini games, or opening chests. If TOPHAT's companion ability triggers for the host, the guest will also get the doubled material that the host gets. |
|
|
Speed Boost | Unlocked after completing all level 16 tasks. As long as you are near your friend, you will walk faster than normal. This ability does require friends to be within a relatively short distance of each other to work. |
