The "Zebra Stripes Tamagotchi. The V3 is characterized by its small antenna at the top.
The Tamagotchi Connection Version 3 (abbreviated as the V3) is the first Tamagotchi release outside Japan to be able to interact with Tamatown. It has more characters than the previously released versions (a total of 52) and has a password concept similar to that of the Keitai Kaitsuu Tamagotchi Plus and the Chou Jinsei Enjoi Tamagotchi Plus. More items are avaliable (see: List of Version 3 Shop Items) and the Souvenirs concept (see: List of Version 3 Souvenirs) is introduced. The shell has a small antenna sticking out of the side, much like the Keitai and the Tamagotchi Plus Akai. This is also the first American Tamagotchi to feature the new Mametchi sprite that has been used on all versions following the V3. It was the last of American releases to have Mimitchi as the mascot, which was changed to Mametchi in Version 4.
Icons
The icons are the same as all of the previous releases of Tamagotchi Connection. They are: Check meter, Feeding time, Toilet, Activities, Connection, Discipline, Medication, Lights, Tamagotchi Notebook and Attention Sign.
Check Meter
The check meter consists of six screens: Hunger/happiness, Discipline, Name/age/weight, Gender/generation, Gotchi Points and Username.
Hunger/Happiness Check
Like many other Tamagotchi, hunger and happiness are displayed in four hearts. The more hearts filled, the more full/happy the Tamagotchi is.
Discipline Check
Like all other Tamagotchi that have this feature, discipline is displayed in a bar. The more lines filled in the bar, the more well disciplined the Tamagotchi is. The bar holds nine lines though the Tamagotchi may beep for more discipline.
Name/Age/Weight Check
The Tamagotchi's name is displayed. It can be up to five letters long. The Tamagotchi's age and weight is also displayed. One earth day = One Tamagotchi year. Tamagotchi will gain weight as it eats and lose weight by exercising.
Gender/Generation Check
The Tamagotchi's gender and generation is displayed. The gender is displayed in words, either "Boy" or "Girl". Every time the Tamagotchi has a baby, the baby will become the next generation of the Tamagotchi's family.
Gotchi Points Check
By playing games, more Gotchi Points are earned. Up to 9999P (P for Points) can be stored on the v3.
Username Check
This screen displayes the user's Username set up at the start up. The username is used for accessing Tamagotchi Town.
Feeding Time
Here the user can feed their Tamagotchi a meal or a snack. There are four default meals and four default snacks and the user can buy more if she or he wishes.
