'''Mametchi''' is a character from [[Bandai Namco Entertainment|Bandai]]'s [[wikipedia:Tamagotchi|Tamagotchi]] franchise, which started out as a simple egg-shaped virtual pet toy and has since enjoyed over 20 years of success, spawning into other media such as video games, merchandise, and {{wp|Tamagotchi! (anime)|anime}}. More often than not, Mametchi is the result of a Tamagotchi with the best possible care, being portrayed as a very intelligent and well-mannered Tamagotchi in almost all Tamagotchi media. Mametchi was initially one of several faces, but eventually became the mascot of the Tamagotchi franchise as a whole.

==History==
====''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2''====
[[File:MametchiMarioKartGP2.PNG|left|thumb|Mametchi in his [[Standard Kart]]]]
Mametchi's first (and currently only) appearance in the ''Mario'' franchise is in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', where he is a playable guest character presumably to coincide with Bandai's then-recent merger with Namco. He is categorized as an Easy-Control character, sharing stats with [[Ms. Pac-Man]] and [[Toad]].

Mametchi is able to use five special items: [[Bagubagutchi]], [[Mame Block]], [[Chibi Syrup]], [[Mame Drink]], and [[Giant Pencil]].

As with the other characters, in addition to a standard kart, Mametchi gets a special vehicle that slightly reduces acceleration in exchange for increased speed. Mametchi's special vehicle loosely resembles a Tamagotchi virtual pet that is pulled by a wheeled mechanical Tamagotchi wearing a Kasa. 

Although Mametchi does not have his own cup, he shares the [[Waluigi Cup]] with [[Waluigi]], as both [[Stadium Arena]] and [[Waluigi Stadium (arcade)|Waluigi Stadium]] feature various Tamagotchi-related advertisements, including cameo appearances of some of his relatives and associates; younger sister {{wikia|tamagotchi|Chamametchi|Chamametchi}}, mother {{wikia|tamagotchi|Mamametchi|Mamametchi}}, father {{wikia|tamagotchi|Papamametchi|Papamametchi}}, Tama-Friends {{wikia|tamagotchi|Memetchi|Memetchi}}, {{wikia|tamagotchi|Kuchipatchi|Kuchipatchi}}, {{wikia|tamagotchi|Violetchi|Flowertchi}}, and {{wikia|tamagotchi|Makiko|Makiko}}, teacher {{wikia|tamagotchi|Grippatchi|Ms. Perfect}}, and the home planet of his kind, the {{wikia|tamagotchi|Tamagotchi Planet|Tamagotchi Planet}}.

==Trivia==
*10 years prior to the release of ''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2'', the Japan-only [[Nintendo 64]] game ''64 de Hakken!: Minna de Tamagotchi World'' featured "Rare Special" adult Tamagotchis based on [[Mario]] and [[Wario]], named Mariotchi and Waruotokotchi respectively.
*Not counting some [[Costume Mario]] outfits in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', Mametchi is the only non-Nintendo character who made an appearance in any ''Mario'' game that did not originate as a video game character, originating from a virtual pet instead.
