Tamagotchi: Happiest Story in the Universe! (video game)

Tamagotchi: Happiest Story in the Universe! is a 2009/2010 3D platformer videogame (based on the Tamagotchi: Happiest Story in the Universe! movie) developed by Bandai Namco and Dimps and published by Bandai Namco that was released for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and Wii. It was one of the last Tamagotchi games released for the PS2. It didn't sell well compared to other games and got negative reviews. 
 
== Gameplay ==
The game is a 3D platformer where the player controls Mametchi, Memetchi, Kuchipatchi or Chamametchi (all of them with different traits and abilities) in a series of levels based on the events and locations of the movie. 
The player starts the game with five lives and two hitpoints (one in Hard Difficulty and three in Easy Difficulty), however, there are golden hearts that increase the amount of maximum hitpoints by one (the maximum amount of hitpoints a player can have is 6). There are some enemies or hazards that make the player lose multiple hitpoints instead of one. 
When completing the main story for the first time, a new game mode called "Kikitchi's Story" will be unlocked. In this game mode, the player can play the main campaign as Kikitchi, but, there are also levels that are only present in it. 
== Playable Characters ==
Mametchi - Balanced, uses a raygun to take down enemies and threats.
Memetchi - Uses her hair to fly around for a limited amount of time, but falls faster. 
Kuchipatchi - Can ground pound, however, he has a slightly lower speed compared to other characters. 
Chamametchi - Can double jump, but at the cost of jumping low.
Kikitchi - Runs faster and jumps higher, however, he has low traction, making him slippery. 
== Trivia ==
* The movie itself doesn't have an English dub, however, the cutscenes (that are taken directly from the movie) were completely dubbed in English and other languages. That was one of the main reasons why the game was released late in other territories outside of Japan.
* New cutscenes were made exclusively for the video game adaptation
* In South Korea, it initially received a 12+ rating due to having a "darker nature" compared to other Tamagotchi media. But after some days, it was re-rated and received an ALL rating
* It was the first Tamagotchi game to have an Italian, German, Spanish and Korean dub
* Some of the original cast from the English dub of the first Tamagotchi movie were not involved in this game. For example, Stephanie Sheh didn't voice Mametchi, instead, Debi Derryberry voiced Mametchi.
