'''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''' is a character from [[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 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 started out as just one of many faces, but later on became the mascot of the Tamagotchi francise as a whole.


Mametchi appears in the crossover ''[[Mario (franchise)|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]].

In the typical Tamagotchi virtual pets, Mametchi speaks his own language – 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'.
Mametchi's only appearance in the Mario series 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]]. His special items are [[Bagubagutchi]], a [[Mame Block]], and a [[Chipi Syrup]], and his voice clips imitate the beeping sound effect heard in Tamagotchi Virtual Pets.


Not all Tamagotchi media depicts Mametchi speaking the Tamagotchi speech either. An example is the ''Tamagotchi!'' anime TV series, which depicts Mametchi and the other Tamagotchi characters speaking the human language.
[[Stadium Arena]] and [[Waluigi Stadium (arcade)|Waluigi Stadium]], in addition to being [[Waluigi]]'s home tracks, are also technically Mametchi's home tracks, as both tracks feature various Tamagotchi-related advertisements, including cameo appearances of his family (Papamametchi, Mamametchi, Chamametchi, and Bagubagutchi), his friends and teacher (Memetchi, Kuchipatchi, Flowertchi, Makiko, and Ms. Pefect), and the Tamagotchi Planet.
