The PUI PUI Molcartchi (PUI PUI モルカっち) (PUI PUI 모르카 다마고치) is a licensed Tamagotchi Nano model based off Pui Pui Molcar, a stop motion series about guinea pigs who are also cars.
A second version called the Driving School version released February 4, 2023. It is based off the second season of the series and features more molcars to raise along with different games.
Functions[]
Birth and Growth[]
After the user sets the clock, Baby Molcar will appear and the user will be tasked with taking care of it. When certain conditions are met, Baby Molcar will evolve into one of eleven adult molcar characters. Which character they evolve into is dependent on the quality of care they were given and how much of a certain game was played. If more conditions are met, the character will evolve into a special form.
Buttons[]
There are no on-screen icons, and therefore all information is conveyed through the screen and buttons. The molcar is cared for by filling its meters; they have Hungry and Happy meters, each consisting of four units, which are both empty at the start. The Hungry meter decreases by one unit per hour, and the Happy meter decreases by one every 50 minutes. If either becomes empty, the character will call for attention to fill them.
The user can press the C button for an animation to see what it needs. A dizzy spiral signifies an empty Hungry meter, while a screw icon signifies an empty Happy meter. If both the Hungry and Happy meters are not empty, but the Happy meter is not full, the character will perform a happy animation. If the Happy meter is full and the Hungry meter is not empty, the character will perform a Close Up.
Pressing the A button opens the main menu, with the first option for the food menu, and the second option for the games. The meal option (carrot for all characters except Zombie Shiromo, who eats a meat patty instead) fills one Hungry unit, and the molcar will refuse to eat anymore once the meter is full. The snack (lettuce) fills one Happy unit, and can be fed even when the Happy meter is full. The A button is also used to turn the lights on and off when the molcar has fallen asleep. The characters sleep at 10 PM and wake at 7 AM, and will turn the lights on themselves when they wake up.
Pressing A and C together will open the menu or turn on or off the sound. Pressing the B button will open the clock screen, and pressing A and C together will allow the user to set the time. These two functions are always available regardless of the molcar's circumstances, except when it has departed.
Games[]
There are three games (four on the driving school version), each influencing what character the Baby Molcar will grow into. Games increase the Happy level; winning the game fills Happy by one unit, while a perfect game fills Happy by two.
Standard Version[]
- Emergency Transport: The Emergency Molcar will be racing to transport someone to the hospital. The user must press the A or B button when an exclamation mark appears on the screen, signaling an opening to pass by incoming molcars. Failing to press the button in time will cause the Emergency Molcar to crash. Successfully passing by five molcars counts as a perfect game.
- Chase!: The Police Molcar will be chasing after a criminal who is dropping bags of money on the road. The user must press A to go down and B to go up to avoid running over the money bags. Running over a money bag will end the game. Avoiding five bags will count as a perfect game.
- Car Wash: A molcar will be going into the Car Wash to get clean and the user must rapidly press the A button for 15 seconds. If the A button is not pressed enough, the molcar will become scared of the car wash and not get cleaned. Pressing the button enough times will successfully clean the molcar.
Driving School Version[]
- VR Course: The molcar will be going through a VR training course. When A or B appears on the screen, the user must press the corresponding button so the molcar can successfully make it through the course.
- Rabbit of the Moon: The molcar will be flying through space as meteors fly from the left of the screen. The user must press A to go down and B to go up to avoid hitting the meteors.
- Public Road Debut: The molcar will be making their debut on the road. The user must press the A or B button when an exclamation appears on the screen so the molcar can drive safely on the road.
- Sports Day: The molcar will be going through an obstacle course. The user has 10 seconds to press the A button as much as possible. If the button is pressed enough, the molcar will clear all the obstacles.
Poop[]
Throughout the day, the molcar will leave poo pellets on the screen. Pressing the A button will clean the pellet away. If the user does not clean it up right away, more pellets may gradually appear.
Upset[]
If the user fails to fill the Hungry and Happy meters, or allows poop to accumulate on the screen, the molcar will become upset, depicted by it looking sad and lines appearing at the top left corner of the screen. Pressing the A button twice will cheer it up. The user will not be able to feed or play with the character until it is cheered up, and can't be treated when the character is asleep.
Daily Events[]
Throughout the day, the molcar will do an animation. Pressing any button while it's happening will allow the user to take a closer look.
Departure[]
If enough neglect occurs or the user fails to cheer it up when it sulks, the molcar will run away and leave behind a goodbye letter saying "Pui...". On the driving school version, the letter may also say "Fail". If the molcar is given continued good care on this version, they will graduate from training school and the user can watch an animation showing their graduation.
In both instances, pressing the A and C buttons will bring a new Baby Molcar, starting the cycle over.
