Tamagotchi Mini

From Tamagotchi Wikia

Tamagotchi Mini, known in Japan as the Chibi Tamagotchi is a miniature version of Tamagotchi. It is 66% of the size of a original Tamagotchi, has limited features, and most treat it like a fashion accessory.

[edit] Functions

This Tamagotchi does not have icons, so the caring is done with A button. If the owner suspects the character needs something, they press the A button. If the character does a specific animation, or a certain menu appears, the owner can care for it accordingly. This is used to feed, clean poops, turn on or off lights when it's sleeping, or cure sickness.

The B button switches between the clock and main screen, and C cancels out of any open menu (as in Food selection or lights). Due to the screen size, the Tamagotchi Mini does not have a "Date" function.

The first stage of the Tamagotchi's life lasts approximately 24 hours before becoming an adult. It will become a special adult within 7 days, and pass away approximately 7 days later.

[edit] Characters

Marutchi hatches from the egg, and may evolve into either Mametchi, Masktchi, Kuchipatchi, or Nyorotchi.

Mametchi can evolve into either Unchi-Kun (Japanese release) or Ginjirotchi (worldwide release), depending on region. The other three adults evolve into Oyajitchi.

[edit] Special Releases

After the initial debut in Japan, special designs of the Chibi Tamagotchi were released to tie in with a new series of Tamagotchi-based clothing. A special Tokyo design was also released.

In late 2007, a special New Years edition, known as the Kaien version, was released, including new foods and two new secret characters. Mametchi evolves into a character named Miko-san, while the other adults become Darumatchi.
