A button -> to cycle through the icons B button -> to select C button -> to cancel

When you want to know what Santaclautchi is asking for, have a look at his 'check meter'.

3. The 'needs' icons

* When Santaclautchi gets mad and returns to his house, you cannot use any of the icons.

Check Meter

Use the A button to select the icon and use the B button to open the Check Meter. From here you can use the A button to see the 'Status' and 'Stock' screens. Within the 'Status' and 'Stock' sections, use the B button to see Santaclautchi's condition. Use the C button to return to the Santaclautchi screen.

[Status] Press the A button to see Santaclautchi's current condition. Use the B button to cycle through each 'status' screen.
Age/Weight
Here you can check on Santa's growth. If Santa's weight increases too much, he will become shy and easily intimidated so be careful about it. To get him to lose weight, play the Chimney Game.

Hunger/Happiness
There are 4 hearts for each indicator. When all the hearts are black, Santaclautchi is content. When he is hungry, he'll activate his attention icon to ask for food.



Santarashisa -> {Could be translated as Santa-ness, Santa-osity... basically, how much like Santa is he}
In the beginning this meter will be empty. As Santaclautchi gets each of his 4 main items (please see section 4), each bell will get filled. If you increase his Santarashisa, maybe something good might happen...

Distance
This meter shows how far Santaclautchi is from all his tamagotchi friends who are waiting for him. If you fill the bar, you've reached your goal!

[Stock] Use the A or B button to see how much meat pie and cake Santaclautchi has in his stocks. He can only have up to 4 of each at a time.
