View mode may be activated by pressing the button located in the lower left corner of the screen when viewing any island. In view mode, the user interface is hidden, allowing players a wider view of their island. Pressing the same button again will exit view mode, and the interface will reappear.
Several decorations make noises when tapped in view mode. These include:
- The Guitree will make a noisy twang.
- The Harpsitree will make a harp sound, like the hatching sound effect.
- The Meldablend will make a thump sound.
- The Trumplite will make a trumpet sound, like the sound of going up a level.
- The Wild Bagpipe will make windpipe sounds, like one of the sounds in Thumpies, and Fling a Thing. This is the same sound as the one used for an element in the Memory Game (if not enough monsters are available for a stage.)
- The Orb of Aklino will make a whimsical, electrical sound.
- The Harmonorb Holder will make the sound of an oboe and a crash cymbal playing over a whistle, with subtle hi-hat and ride cymbals and a bass playing too.
- The Sweetstreamz Tree will play a dinging sound, similar to a chime bell.
- The Cold Globe will play a bell ding and a jingle bell ring, as well as a wind blowing sound.
- The Log Drum makes a resonant drum sound.
- The Twihorn makes a loud horn sound.
- The Tamborine Trampoline makes a tamborine sound, as well as a bouncing sound.
- The Gaung Tree makes a gong sound.
- The Simbull Tree makes a crash cymbal sound.
- The Clarinedge makes a harmonic sound of many clarinets playing at once.
- The Ottavine makes a fast flute sound.
- The Stone Drum makes a loud drum sound, less resonant than the Log Drum's sound.
- The Strummy-ache makes a fast zither sound, as well as some weird gurgling noise which, rather appropriately, sounds like a stomach growling.
