'''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 franchise spanning over 20 years, 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'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.

*The Japan-only [[Nintendo 64]] game ''{{wp|64 de Hakken! Minna de Tamagotchi World}}'', which was released 10 years prior to ''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2'', features "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 currently 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.
