Origami Tamagotchi

Origami Tamagotchi (おりがみたまごっち) is a 2008 hybrid RPG/Platformer game developed by Retro Studios and published by Bandai Namco Games (under the Bandai brand name) for the Nintendo DS.
The game was released in Japan on June 6, 2008, North America on September 19, 2008, Europe on December 16, 2008, and Australia on March 14, 2009.
Following the game's success, Origami Tamagotchi would later receive sequels based on the anime for the Wii, 3DS, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch.
==Gameplay==
Origami Tamagotchi plays similar to that of the Paper Mario series where the player controls Mametchi across an Origami version of the Tamagotchi Planet. The game features RPG-style elements as well as recruitable characters that can be used as helpers for Mametchi on his adventures.
Each Gotchi Comrade (Tama-Buddy in the Japanese version) has their own unique powers and quarks (for example, KuroMametchi uses physical attacks while Kuchipatchi has a chance to take away any healing items the foes might have).
The RPG system in the game is where the player can either attack or use various items as they take turns fighting a foe or boss. Items can help to fight back and can range from either Ink Balls (which act as healing items), Staple Bazookas (which act as one-time weapons), or a pair of sicssors (which can OHKO any foe).
==Plot==
Origami Tamagotchi revolves around an origami version of Mametchi who is miraculously born from a printer and wants to explore across the origami Tamagotchi Planet and find the true creator of this Origami universe. During his trip, he recruits several Tamagotchis to help him with his mission to find the true creator of the universe - a giant hand puppet known as the Master Crafter, who has turned evil following his corruption by a bad influence.
