'''Mametchi''' is a character from {{wp|Tamagotchi}}, a chain of egg-shaped virtual pet toys produced by [[Bandai Namco Entertainment|Bandai]] that have since established a long-running franchise, including adaptations to other media such as video games, merchandise, and {{wp|Tamagotchi! (anime)|anime}}. On most Tamagotchi releases, Mametchi is the result of a Tamagotchi with the best possible care, and has been portrayed as a well-mannered and intelligent Tamagotchi with an IQ of 250. Mametchi was initially one of several faces, but gradually became the mascot of the ''Tamagotchi'' franchise.


'''Mametchi''' is a character from [[Bandai]]'s handheld digital pet toy called a [[wikipedia:Tamagotchi|Tamagotchi]], which housed in a small and simple egg-shaped computer.
Mametchi's first (and currently only) appearance in the ''Super Mario'' franchise is in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', where he is a playable guest driver presumably added to coincide with Bandai's then-recent merger with Namco. He is categorized as an Easy Control driver, sharing stats with [[Ms. Pac-Man]] and [[Toad]]. His special items are [[Bagubagutchi]], [[Mame Block]], [[Chibi Syrup]], [[Mame Drink]], and [[Giant Pencil]], and his voice clips imitate the beeping sound effect heard in Tamagotchi virtual pets.


Mametchi appears in the crossover ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' game ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'' as a playable character in light of [[Namco]]'s recent merge with Bandai. In this game, Mametchi is a speed type character like [[Ms. Pac-Man]] and [[Toad]]. Three of Mametchi's special items he can obtain during gameplay is a [[Mame Block]], a [[Bagubagutchi]], or a [[Chipi Syrup]].
As with the other drivers, in addition to a standard kart, Mametchi gets a unique vehicle that slightly reduces acceleration in exchange for increased speed. Mametchi's unique vehicle loosely resembles a Tamagotchi virtual pet that is pulled by a wheeled mechanical Tamagotchi wearing a Kasa.  


Mametchi, along with [[Ms. Pac-Man]] and [[Blinky]], doesn't make a reappearance in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''
[[Stadium Arena]] and [[Waluigi Stadium (arcade)|Waluigi Stadium]] of the [[Waluigi Cup]] also feature several Tamagotchi-themed advertisements, including cameo appearances of Mametchi's {{fandom|tamagotchi|Mame Family|relatives}}, {{fandom|tamagotchi|Tama-Friends|associates}}, and {{fandom|tamagotchi|Tamagotchi Planet|home planet}}.

*''"Mametchi!"'' (After Mametchi is selected as character)
In the typical Tamagotchi virtual pets, Mametchi speaks his own language &ndash; Tamagotchi. He uses words such as 'bee', 'bop' and 'bip'. The sounds that he emits make reference to the beeping sounds that the Tamagotchi devices make whenever the player is pressing on the buttons, which are referenced in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2. Not all Tamagotchi characters speak the same language though, as a common child character known as Kuribotchi sounds like 'ba bu ba bu'.
 
Not all Tamagotchi media depicts Mametchi speaking the Tamagotchi speech either. An example is the Tamagotchi! anime TV series, which depicts Mametchi & the other Tamagotchi characters speaking the human language.

Mametchi is a character from Tamagotchi, a chain of egg-shaped virtual pet toys produced by Bandai that have since established a long-running franchise, including adaptations to other media such as video games, merchandise, and anime. On most Tamagotchi releases, Mametchi is the result of a Tamagotchi with the best possible care, and has been portrayed as a well-mannered and intelligent Tamagotchi with an IQ of 250. Mametchi was initially one of several faces, but gradually became the mascot of the Tamagotchi franchise.

Mametchi's first (and currently only) appearance in the Super Mario franchise is in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, where he is a playable guest driver presumably added to coincide with Bandai's then-recent merger with Namco. He is categorized as an Easy Control driver, sharing stats with Ms. Pac-Man and Toad. His special items are Bagubagutchi, Mame Block, Chibi Syrup, Mame Drink, and Giant Pencil, and his voice clips imitate the beeping sound effect heard in Tamagotchi virtual pets.

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

Stadium Arena and Waluigi Stadium of the Waluigi Cup also feature several Tamagotchi-themed advertisements, including cameo appearances of Mametchi's relatives, associates, and home planet.
