Hello Kitty: Roller Rescue (Japanese: ハローキティのピコピコ大作戦, Hello Kitty no Pikopiko Daisakusen, literally Hello Kitty's Picopico^[1] Mission) is a Hello Kitty video game for Windows, PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube and Xbox.

In this game planet Earth is invaded by a group of block aliens known as the Block Battalion led by King Block-O, who plan to conquer the universe and turn Earth into a perfect cube.

As Hello Kitty wearing roller-skates, the player must explore various locations to stop the Block Battalion from causing trouble and eventually save the Earth. The player will rescue various Sanrio characters along the way, some of which can be used as partners to help fight off the Block Batallion or heal the player in stages.
