go to the Tamagotchi Connection section and there is a list of all the characters with tips on how to get them, etc. AND usefully an approx guide to how often each character goes to the toilet!
At www.peppersoup.com, I went to the control area where it shows you the buttons of a tamagotchi.... It DOES NOT LOOK ANYTHING LIKE MINE . Mine is small and has 3 lil' buttons on the bottom. help?
To the control area? I'm not following you... you need to be more specific on where you went, links you clicked etc. But I can tell you that if your Tamagotchi has three buttons at the bottom it is one of the older Tamagotchis from 96-97.
