Hi everyone! In the spirit of the holiday season, I decided to write a log dedicated to the Santaclautch. I know that this tama is rather uncommon and a lot of people are curious about it. I think it will be good to have an organized space for me to write. I plan to update my main log soon because I have a lot to write there as well.
I got my Santa last February and ran it for a couple of weeks. I haven't gotten it out since then. I wanted to run it the two weeks leading up to Christmas day, so I started it up yesterday, December 11th.
A bit of information about the tama.....
The Santaclautch isn't quite like any other tamagotchi. The goal of the tama is to help Santaclautchi find everything he needs to get ready for his Christmas ride. There are certain items that he needs and you have to find them playing the game and checking the advent calendar daily. There are a lot of items that can be discovered, but only 4 of them are the "essential" items. Instead of the typical evolution of tamagotchis, Santaclautchi changes form depending on which items you give him. This is usually an outfit change. So far, all of the forms I have gotten have been hilarious. This is a very comical tama.
An interesting feature is feeding. You don't have to feed Santaclautchi directly, you just stock his pantry with meals and snacks. He will eat them whenever he feels hungry. You have to make sure that the pantry stays stocked though.
The discipline bar is replaced with a meter to show how far away Santaclautchi is to bringing Christmas to Tamagotchi Planet. The more essential items you find, the quicker the meter fills up.
Sometimes Santaclautchi gets upset and runs away. I'm not really sure why he's such a baby, but he is. When this happens, you have to call Super Kuchipatchi to come save the day. There is an icon for this function. Super Kuchipatchi is literally a Kuchipatchi with a cape. He flies across the screen and drags a reluctant and indignant Santaclautchi back with him, depositing him onto the ground. This is so funny. I seriously laugh out loud every time it happens.
The game: The game is a typical tamagotchi guessing game. There are three chimneys and you have to decide down which chimney to send Santaclautchi. He can either find a sleeping tamagotchi, an item, or get covered in soot. The first two count as wins. This is the main method to finding the essential items. The more you play the game, the higher your chances of finding the items....and you'll need to play a lot because finding them is not easy!
The advent calendar: When you start up the Santaclautch, you have to put in the date. So, mine says 12/12 today. Apparently if you don't find all of the items before two weeks are up, you ruin Christmas for Tamagotchi Planet....no pressure right? Every day you can open the calendar to receive an item. It may or may not be an essential item.
There is also an icon that allows you to see into the world of a citizen of Tamagotchi Planet. It shows them getting ready for Christmas. I think this is a really cute feature. Yesterday, it was a Babytchi looking up at a wreath. Today it is a Tamatchi decorating a tree! I'm not sure if this is supposed to show a tama growing up, or if it's just a completely different home. Either way, I love it.
I think this pretty much covers the mechanics of the tama. Now I will log my personal adventure with it!

This is day 2 with my Santaclautch. So far, I have yet to find any of the essential items. I haven't found any items at all in the chimneys, so my only two have been from the advent calendar. My first item from the calendar was a ball of yarn. When I gave this item to Santaclautchi, he turned into Snowboarding Santaclautchi! The item I received today looked like a roll of wrapping paper. This turned him into Sailor Santaclautchi. The actual outfit that was made for him looked like a dress to me, but he kind of looks like a sailor I suppose.
Santaclautchi has run away a couple of times. I enlisted the help of Super Kuchipatchi and he always brings him back. I think if you wait too long though, he may run away for good forcing you to restart. Hopefully this won't happen
I really love this tamagotchi. I think it is really creative and has a lot of really cute nuances. One more thing...the sound is so loud!! On mine anyway....it is the most shrill and obnoxiously tama I have ever heard. This kind of adds to the appeal though
The sounds definitely make me think of Christmas.
