== Gameplay ==
=== Exploration ===
Each of them have their own places of interest, unique Yo-kai that are found, Treasure Boxes and hidden items. Almost all of them have shops that either sell Food, Items, and Fusible Materials or be traded in for various objects. Some areas are locked behind Rank Doors, where unlocking them grants the player access to rarer items or unexplored locations.
When the player runs, they have a stamina meter which is displayed via a circle-shaped gauge where it depletes. Running out of stamina will cause the player to become tired and walk slower then the average speed until the gauge is replenished. Although, using Staminum can help give the player a temporary infinite running speed for a short amount of time. Other methods of faster transport are unlocked later in the game's story, such as the Mirapo Warp or Bicycle.
=== Catching Critters ===
Bugs and Fish can be caught in the game, when the Bug Net and Fishing Rod Key Items are obtained. Catching them is done by trying to make the wheel stop on the bars, which landing on them catches the bug or fish. Using Fish Bait or Black Syrup increases the chance of it being caught by adding more bars to the wheel. Occasionally, red bars will appear where landing on it will cause a Rare variant of the bug or fish to be caught.
They can be traded in Jungle Hunter, where catching specific types of Fish or Bugs allow the player to obtain specific items from them by trading for the required amount.
=== Yo-kai ===
They are spiritual creatures that serve the main purpose of the video game, which can be found via the Yo-kai Watch.
Yo-kai can be befriended by feeding them food during battle, where the chance heavily depends on the description of the item along with the price that was sold for to an extent.
=== Crank-a-kai ===
When the player receives Crank-a-kai coins or using Nintendo 3DS Play Coins, they can free a Yo-kai from the Crank-a-kai machine located at Mt. Wildwood. However, the player can make use of it for only three times each day. The player can receive those coins from Yo-kai Cam rewards or from treasure chests. The player can use the QR code at Piggleston Bank to get coins. If lucky, the player might receive a super-rare Yo-kai that can only be freed from the Crank-a-kai machine.
=== Battle System ===
Yo-kai Watch 5 introduces a completely new Action RPG based battle system akin to the Yo-kai Watch Blasters series. While Yo-kai can still be leveled regularly, the playable character is now able to level up, allowing for more power to be used in the watch.
The player can now fight the opponents which can have different effects depending on the character. This battle system is called “Yo-ki“, in which the human can use various moves like orbs,
The befriending mechanic has also been drastically overhauled; the player now must use the watch to extract the souls of Yo-kai in a specific order which can depend on the targeted Yo-kai based on the Rank and Tribe.
The way in which Soultimates works is also different. By pressing both X and A/Triangle and Circle buttons simultaneously, the Yo-kai get into a powered up form known as "Great Form" in which they don a gold aura similar to the G orb from the Blasters series, What all of these forms have in common is that they can perform their Soultimate move. They can be powered by either timing or mashing the A/Circle button. Certain Yo-kai.
