Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 3, known in Japan as Tamagotchi's Little Shops-tchi - Thank You Everyone! (たまごっちのプチプチおみせっち みなサンきゅ〜！ Tamagotchi no Puchi Puchi Omisetchi Mina Sankyu~!), is the third game in the Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop series, following Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop 2.
It was jointly developed by NaNaOn-Sha and Dimps and published by Bandai, and is followed by the Japanese-exclusive game Tamagotchi no Kira Kira Omisetchi. It was the last game to be released outside of Japan until the release of Tamagotchi Plaza in 2025.
Plot[]
Puchi Hill is in trouble and an S.O.S letter will appear from either Mametchi, Memetchi, or Kuchipatchi. When the player accepts the mission, the Mayor, Mametchi, Memetchi, or Kuchipatchi will come pick the player up on a UFO. The two will ask the player to help them open up shops in Puchi Hill so it can become exciting again. The Mayor will have the player create a Tamagotchi identity and disguise.
Once the game starts, the player will start out trying the Card Shop (Memetchi), Treasure Hunters (Mametchi), Recycling Center (Kuchipatchi), and later Violetchi with the Gardening shop. Once all of the shops are unlocked, the Mayor invites the partner Tamagotchis to the basement of the Clock Tower where they are introduced to Uranaitchi. The Mayor reveals his name as Tamanori and he renames Puchi Hill to Tamanori Hill. Uranaitchi then shows the reason why: Tamanori is the brother of Gotchi King. When he lost a rock paper scissors battle to become king, Tamanori left Tamagotchi Planet to run his own kingdom. Years later, he returns, not having had succeeded at his dream. When he sees applications to run as a mayor for Puchi Hill, he applies as he believes being a mayor is similar to being like a king.
Once all the shops are upgraded to royal, the player will be invited to a royal party by Princess Tamako, and it is revealed that Tamanori's mustache is fake. Tamanori Hill then gets renamed again, this time after the player (for example: ABRAtchi Hill or CJtchi Hill), and the Royal Clock Tower theme will be unlocked.
Gameplay[]
Like the previous two games, the main objective of the game is to work in a shop with a Tamagotchi partner and expand every shop until they are renovated to the Royal status. However, the player can choose which partner you want to work with in one file at almost any time. Violetchi (or Flowertchi in the Japanese version) is also introduced as new partner Tamagotchi.
All four partners now stay at the clock tower which serves as this game's care mode. The player can choose their partner, dress them up, change the tower's theme, and decorate and write in their journal which they can share with other players by connecting with them.
There is also a park in front of and behind the tower which the partner can visit and see other Tamagotchis. The player can decorate the parks with unlocked furniture and feed their partner or other Tamagotchis snacks. The player can also manage a garden where they can grow flowers.
Shops[]
Card Shop[]
The player must follow the customer's orders to make their custom card, using different types of card, backgrounds, speech, characters, and objects.
Day Care Center[]
The player and their partner Tamagotchi must look after babies dropped off at the daycare. As they roam around, they will ask for food, drinks, or toys. If they look sleepy, the mobile must be used to calm them down and put them to sleep. If they hurt themselves, they must be wiped up.
Day Spa[]
The player and their partner give a spa treatment to Tamagotchi customers. This involves cleaning up their face with facial soap, sucking up any germs that appear, applying lotion, and using face masks.
Gardening[]
The player will grow flowers for the customers. This involves planting the seed, watering the plant, giving the right plant food, and picking out weeds that pop up. The DS microphone is also used to blow away clouds and sing to the flower.
Bakery[]
The player bakes bread for the Tamagotchi customers. This involves selecting the right dough, fillings, kneading the dough to the right size and shape, baking it for the correct amount of time, and then placing it in a paper bag.
Ice Cream Parlor[]
The player serves ice cream to the Tamagotchi customers. This includes picking the right flavors for the ice cream machine, putting the ice cream in a dish or cone, and adding the right toppings. The player may also make sundaes and ice cream floats.
Event Coordinator[]
The player must follow the customer's directions to set up the party they want and then host it. This involves using the desired decorations, furniture, party favors, and music for the party ambiance. Once the player finishes setting up the party venue, they must serve the party attendees the food and drinks they want until the party ends.
Decoration Shop[]
The player takes customer's everyday objects, and decorates them with patterns and stickers to make them trendy. The object must be cleaned first before decorations are applied.
Treasure Hunters[]
The player will uncover treasure for the customer by using a radar to uncover treasure from the ground, digging it up, and then cleaning the dirt off from it. The player must be careful to not dig up junk items or damage the treasure while cleaning it.
Piano Studio[]
The player teaches the customers how to play the piano. Sections of the piano must be tapped in rhythm to the song being taught. After the lesson, the customer will perform the song on the piano, the quality of performance depending on how well the player did.
Recycling Center[]
Customers will ask the Tamagotchi to pick up their junk and then recycle and repurpose them into items. The player will first be taken to a location to clean up all the junk. They will then return to the recycling center to break down the junk as it comes through on a conveyor belt. Once the job is done, the junk will be recycled into various items.
Bakery Gardening[]
A combination of the Bakery and Garden Shop, the player grows candy in a garden.
Decoration Day Spa[]
A combination of the Decoration Shop and Spa, the player cleans up the customer's face and applies decorations to them.
Care Mode[]
The care mode has been expanded into the Clock Tower where all four Tamagotchi partners stay. Inside the Clock Tower, these options are available:
- Tamagotchi: Select an outfit for a Tamagotchi partner.
- Clock Tower: Change the Clock Tower's theme.
- Journal: Create a journal and add entries. The player can also share and receive journals with friends.

Outside the Clock Tower at the park, customers that appeared in the shops will randomly appear in the park. The player can tap on them to hear dialogue.

- Food: The player can purchase food to give to the partner Tamagotchi or customers in the park.
- Decorations: Various decorations can be bought for the park.

- Garden: The player can grow their own flowers.
- Recycling Bin: If trash appears in the park, the player can recycle it for gotchi points.
Game Comparison and Differences[]
- There is a new Tamagotchi partner, Violetchi, available in Corner Shop 3, as well as the ones available before (Memetchi, Mametchi, and Kuchipatchi).
- The four Tamagotchi partners live in the "Clock Tower" on Puchi Hill. The Tower's color scheme can be changed. There is a Park in the front and back of the Clock Tower.
- The player can have up to two files. In the previous games, they could have three. However, the player can select whichever Tamagotchi partner they want to work with at almost any time, unlike the previous games, where there is one partner for each file.
- Instead of Princess Tamako delivering the suggestion to upgrade the shop every time, it is the Mayor who does it until the shop reaches the Gotchi status. Then, Princess Tamako will come and upgrade the shop to Royal.
- The Mayor and Princess Tamako will not order anything when they arrive at the shop; they will suggest renovating the place right away.

Trivia[]
- A regional difference occurs when the player creates an ID card at the beginning of a new game. In the Japanese version, one of the questions is what blood type the player has. In the international version, this is replaced with asking what the player's favorite color is. This is because blood types have a cultural significance in Japan, but not in the US or Europe.
- The partner can make a comment about what time of day the player is playing the game, greeting them good morning or asking why they're up so late.
