Gotchi Figures are figurines that are attached to the TamaTown Tama-Go to unlock games and items. They were both bundled with the Tama-Go and sold separately. The figures came with minigames and a shop that sold items or food.
Function[]
When a figure is attached to the Tama-Go, the data will be loaded into it. To access the content on the figure, the Mametchi icon must be selected from the menu. What content is contained within the figure depends on what type the figure is and what character is attached to it. There are two types of Gotchi Figures:
- Lite Figure: Comes with the Tama-Go. Contains one game, which can be "Cradles" or "Coin Catch" depending on the character.
- Full Gotchi Figure: Sold separately. Contains two games and either a food or item shop.
Loading Other Figures[]
Because of how the Tama-Go reads the data on the Gotchi Figures, it is possible to access content that is either not normally available or exclusive to a different figure.
Lite Figures do not have a ROM. The Tama-Go recognizes that there is a figure attached, but there is no ROM, so a game is loaded from the memory. Another game called "Pattern Shoot" can be unlocked by exploiting glitches. Because a ROM isn't needed for the Tama-Go, Lite figures can be faked using metal wires to connect the contacts on the top of the Tama-Go.
Gotchi Figures have ROMs and certain figures are fitted with the same ROM. By exploiting glitches and covering up the contacts on the bottom, certain figures can be used as up to two other types of figures (Ex: Glitching a Kuchipatchi figure to access content only available on the Memetchi figure).

Trivia[]
- Due to the poor sales of the Tama-Go, only twelve full Gotchi figures ended up being produced.
- The connectors on the bottom of the figures are heart shaped.
- Gotchi Figures of Grippatchi and Mamametchi were shown at the 2010 Toy Fair, but were never released.
- The concept of an attachable piece with extra games and items would be reintroduced as the Tama Deco Pierce for the Tamagotchi P's. Unlike Gotchi Figures, the pierces were small decorative charms that also contained raisable characters.
