TIP 2: KEEPING UP WITH YOUR TAMAGOTCHI
Happiness and Hunger Check: A simple way to check if your Tamagotchi character is happy, is if the happy meter is full and if it’s not, keep reading to learn how you can keep your Tamagotchi character happy and satisfied. That said, don’t let your Tamagotchi character get too hungry – this may also affect its happiness.
Happy and Hungry Meter: You can use the hunger meter to check if it’s time to feed your Tamagotchi character. Continue reading to find out how to do so! Press ‘A’ to open up the menu page, select PROFILE SETTING by pressing ‘A’, pressing ‘A’ again to select PROFILE, and pressing ‘A’ once more to view both the Happy and Hungry Meters!
Biology: 1 Earth Day = 1 Tamagotchi Year. Your Tamagotchi character will change several times before reaching its adult form. The shape and personality of each Tamagotchi character is based on how well you take care of it! If you take extra good care of your Tamagotchi character the older it will get, and more extensive your family tree may become! Otherwise, it will die, and you will need to start all over again.
TIP 3: KEEPING YOUR TAMAGOTCHI HEALTHY
FEED: We all need to eat, our Tamagotchi character included! To feed your Tamagotchi character press ‘A’ until a knife and fork appear and press ‘A’ again to decide between going to the FRIDGE or RESTAURANT. Under both options, you can choose between a MEAL or SNACK for your Tamagotchi character. Once you make your decision, Press ‘B’ to feed your Tamagotchi character. If you’re up for an adventure, you can also visit other TOWNS to grab food to bring back to your Tamagotchi character’s FRIDGE. Be careful though you don’t want to overfeed your Tamagotchi character!
MEDICINE: You’ll know your Tamagotchi character needs a little TLC if a sick bug appears on the screen. Press ‘A’ until the FIRST AID KIT icon is highlighted and ‘B’ to give them their medicine.
TOILET: Just like us, your Tamagotchi character needs to go to the bathroom, and it’s your job to clean it up or else your Tamagotchi character will get sick! Press ‘A’ button until the BATHROOM icon is highlighted, then press ‘B’ to go before it poops in your living room! Don’t you worry – they will do a little potty dance before having an accident so keep an eye on them to avoid a mess! If they do end up having an accident, choose BATHROOM again and a broom will appear to clean up their mess.

Time Function: When you need to know the time, just press ‘B’ twice!
Pause Function: When you’re really busy, you can leave it at the TAMA HOTEL for babysitting for 10 Gotchi Points per hour! Or if you’re onto your second generation (a My Tama), you can drop them off at their parents’ home!
Reset: To reset, all you need is an object small enough, like a pen or pencil, to press into the little reset button on the back and a new Tamagotchi character egg will appear, ready to hatch. After reset, you can choose CONTINUE or RESET ALL
Sound: For a little peace and quiet, you can turn off the sound on your Tamagotchi device by going to your PROFILE, selecting SETTINGS, clicking on SOUNDS and toggle sound ON or OFF!
Battery: Loosen the screw on the back and take out the old batteries. Then insert 2 new AAA batteries and re-screw the back cover.

Just make sure to check the time is correct.
