Keitai Kaitsuu Tamagotchi Plus
From Tamagotchi Wikia
The Keitai Kaitsuu Tamagotchi Plus, usually shorten to the Keitai or K-Tama, is a Tamagotchi released in Japan in winter 2004. It builds on the Tamagotchi Plus, while adding new features, such as cell phone capabilities and a money system.
The Keitai is also noted as the first Tamagotchi with an antenna on the side. The Tamagotchi Connection Version 3 is made with a similar appearance.
[edit] Gotchi (G)
The Keitai introduces a system of money known as Gotchi (symbolized by a G with a vertical line passing through). On the Keitai, Gotchi is optained from evolving characters, winning games, winning games against other Tamagotchi, and inheriting money from a character's parent. With Gotchi, items and foods may be purchased.
The Gotchi is known as Points (represented by a P) on all Tamagotchi releases outside Japan, starting with the Tamagotchi Connection Version 2.
[edit] Games
Three games are included on the Keitai:
- Catch The Musical Notes, where buttons A and B are used to switch between bags in order to catch falling musical notes while avoiding poo. Single notes are worth 1 point, and double-cleft notes worth 2. To win, gain 100 points total. Winning lowers weight by 2. This game can also be found on the Tamagotchi Connection Version 3.
- Basketball, where the Tamagotchi has to jump in order to knock a basketball into a net. Some balls will fall faster than others. Make 30 baskets to win. Winning lowers weight by 3.
- Race, where the Tamagotchi races against two other characters, and the user bets on which place their Tamagotchi will come in. Betting for first place and winning gives 30 Gotchi, betting and getting second place gives 20, and betting and getting third place gives 10.
[edit] Cell Phone Communication
With the release of the Keitai, a game program became available for cell phones. The Keitai could generate an access code (10 numbers, 2 rows, 5 per row) that can be used to login to the cell phone game. There, the user's Tamagotchi may play games to earn money, find a mate, buy items, and visit parents. The cell phone game would then generate a logout code.
This later became the backbone for the main capabilites of Tamatown.com.
