Location Spotlight: Uratama Town

 

Uratama Town is a location on Tamagotchi Planet, being home to many characters, such as the Ura-Tamas, like Ura Mametchi, Ura Memetchi, Ura Kuchipatchi, as well as characters like Tougyutchi, Gosutchi, and Kujakutchi.

Believe it or not, Uratama Town is located inside of the mouth of Tamagotchi Planet! this explains why it always seems to be night time here, and the fact that the stars are tied up and hung high up in the sky. these stars illuminate the town below. the river seen in the town is actually drool, and leads outside of Tamagotchi Planet, where it remains in one big dangling blob of drool.

this whimsical town has appeared in many different pieces of media. it's appeared in multiple of the virtual pets, those being the Ura Jinsei Enjoi Tamagotchi Plus, the 15th Anniversary Tamagotchi ID L, and both the 20th Anniversary Tamagotchi M!x as well as the Gift M!X.

a Tamasma Card based on the Ura Jinsei Enjoi, as well as the Chou Jinsei Enjoi Tamagotchi Plus was released in a bundle with a Tamasma Card based on the Keitai Katsuu Tamagotchi Plus, as well as the Keitai Katsuu Tamagotchi Plus Akai. this card included rooms, items and watch wallpapers based on the Ura Jinsei Enjoi, as well as a minigame based on it. this card included Ura Mametchi as a raisable character, and is obtainable by feeding him the Drooling Water snack more than any other food or snack during the teen stage.

Uratama Town was also an accessible location in the e-Tamago website, which was the japanese equivalent of  Tamatown. unfortunately, just like Tamatown, this website has been shut down. the e-Tamago website can still be accessed on Famitama.com, a fan-made revival of e-Tamago, as well as the Tamagotchi Friends online game and Tamatown. unfortunately, no matter which code you've input, you cannot currently get past the password screen.     (hopefully this changes someday -_- but as of writing this on 12/17/2022, it is unfortunately stuck like this.)

Uratama Town has appeared in multpile games, those being Tamagotchi: Party On!, where it's a location you can play in, and Tamagotchi Let's TV! Play Tamagotchi Resort. in this game, Uratama Town is an unlockable location. there are two games, those being River Race and Circus Run.

in Circus Run, you must collect stars while balancing on a circus ball. and in River Race, you must race in a gondola down the Drool River.

unfortunately, Uratama Town has never been mentioned in the Tamagotchi! anime, nor any of the movies. hopefully, as more media for Tamagotchi is made, Uratama Town will be included more. i'd kill to see more Uratama related stuff, as it's probably one of my favorite locations on Tamagotchi Planet. the colors are so pretty, and the concept of a town inside the mouth of a living planet is super interesting. i love how it's always night there, the night is so pretty. i love it's overall vibe and almost nostalgic (to me, at least) feel!
