The next screen will ask you for your birthday. After this, you will be taken to the character screen where there is a bouncing egg. Wait 1 minute for it to hatch. Once it has hatched, it will tell you the gender of your tama, then you can enter a name. You must use hiragana for a name.

Free Throw
In the free throw game, you need to bump the ball, and make a basket. Timing is the key to this game. It is best to hit the ball just as it fully appears on the screen. Press the B button to make your tama jump up and head-butt the ball. Make 30 baskets in a row to win.

When starting the foot race game, you must select which place your tama will take in the race. If you think you will take 3rd place, then select third place. If you plan to win, select first place. Press the A button to select a placing, then use the B button to confirm. Once the race starts, alternate between pressing the A and B buttons quickly to race the other contestants.

Friends
Every time you connect your tama to another Tamagotchi, it will save the other character in the friends section.

Treasure
The treasure section holds all of the items that you have purchased from the vendor or through passwords that are not food. If you see a communicating heart icon, it means the item can be used when communicating with another Tamagotchi.

Pocket Money
Use this option to donate some of your gotchi points to the Gotchi King. Once 1000 points has been donated, you will get a reward.

Memories
Memories functions as a sort of family album. The grave option shows the Tamagotchis that have died, while the family option shows the previous successful generations.

Mating
Your Keitai can mate with other Keitais, and create a new generation of tamas. There are two ways of marrying and mating. You can connect your Keitai to another Keitai (opposite genders), and have them get to know each other until they marry. You can also wait for the matchmaker to arrive. The matchmaker will begin to show up 72 hours after your Keitai matures into an adult. She will appear everyday afterward at 11:30AM, 3:00PM, and 7:00PM. She will bring a mate, and you will have the option of selecting yes or no.

Note: The matchmaker will not mate two seniors. You must have two Keitais to do this.

Mute
To mute the sound, press the A and C buttons simultaneously while on the character screen.

Set Clock
To set the clock, press B on the character screen. Then press the A and C buttons simultaneously on the clock screen. Use the A button to change the values of the date and time. Press B to confirm.
