Islands
There are currently ten islands the player can visit and have monsters on, each one with a specific set of native monsters: Plant, Cold, Air, Water, and Earth Islands are the "natural islands", as they only require purchasing single-element monsters and breeding to populate the island. Gold Island is a place to put monsters that have leveled to fifteen. Nothing is produced on Gold Island, so it is mainly to show off. Ethereal and Shugabush Islands require teleporting monsters from the Natural Islands to begin breeding. Tribal Island is a place for players to form a tribe and get as many members as possible to complete the song and unlock the mysterious Kayna.

Across each island is a unique themed song, made by the combinations of each monster's singing or playing music. Most of the songs are generally between one and two minutes long, and consist of a combination of singing, percussion, and tuned instruments. Each song is played in 3D sound, which allows monsters to be heard distinctly from a certain side.

Monsters
The monsters are what the game is all about! There are 30+ monsters found in the game, and are categorized into different groups: Natural, Supernatural, Legendary, Ethereal, Special Edition, PS-Vita-exclusive, and Rare (which are rare versions of the Natural Monsters). The Kayna, which is found in Tribal Island, fits in an undefined monster group in this game (although in the prequel of the game, it is revealed to be a Natural Monster).

Natural Monsters
Natural Monsters are the most widely seen in the game. They each have a different element configuration based on the elements that they do have. They can also be bred to make more complex monsters. However, the more elements the monster the less likely they can be bred successfully.

There are five different elements that Natural Monsters could have: Plant, Cold, Air, Water and Earth. Four elements are available in each island, which means that certain monsters may not be available in certain islands.

Supernatural Monsters
There is only eight Supernatural Monsters in existance, the Wubbox and seven other Wublins. What all Supernatural Monsters do have in common is that they require a specified number of monsters or, in the case of Wublins, monster eggs, to be powered up.

The Wubbox can be purchased on every natural island for 75,000,000 coins, and on Ethereal Island for 150,000 Shards. Wublin statues can be bought at Wublin Island for 5,000 coins per statue, which only become real monsters when activated. Only the Wubbox may be eligible to be placed on Gold Island.

Mythical Monsters
Mythical Monsters are currently only obtainable on the PlayStation Vita Edition of My Singing Monsters. They cannot be placed on Gold Island, and are only found on one Island each.

 * Buy most monsters and decorations
 * Purchase Islands
 * Produce Treats, which in turn can level up monsters.

Decorations
Decorations are purely cosmetic items which can be used to "spruce up" an island, making it more pleasing for players to watch.

Decorations mostly have no special effect, other than increasing a monster's happiness meter, but some decorations can either emit sound (e.g. Harpsitree) or have unique animations (e.g.Tub Fountain).

Structures
Structures, unlike decorations, have a defined purpose in the game, such as storing unwanted monsters or decorations. Some of them are essential for in-game progress and should be bought right away, such as the Breeding Structure.

Most structures can be bought with in-game money (coins), but some of them, called Premium Structures, are purchaseble only with real cash. There are free alternatives for some of these, so purchasing them is advised if a player is willing to help the developers of the game, and has no restrictions.
