The
DigiWindow is the Digimon Savers equivalent to the Digimon Analyzer and
the D-Terminal. It contains a Digimon database of over 160 Digimon and
connects with the Digivice iC. (The Digiwindow does
not connect
with any other v-pet or Digivice.) Like the previous databases, the
DigiWindow's gameplay revolves around a series of minigames that allow
the player to unlock new Digimon. For a look at some of the gameplay, please visit the official Japanese site
here.
Mission ModeMission
Mode greets you with a simple ON/OFF selection screen. Switch it to on
and the unit will shift to a Standby screen that features your current
selected partner for half a minute or so. The unit will then go off,
making noise (if the sound is on) and flashing the lights below the
screen. The screen will read "EMERGENCY!" and after hitting the Enter
button a couple of times, you will be brought to a map to select which
emergency you wish to tackle. After selecting the map area, you will be
given one of ten minigames to play in order to unlock a new Digimon.
Below is a list of the various games and how they are played.
***
Given a 3*3 grid - on one square there is a skull. Press the number from 1-9 in
the corresponding position on the keypad. Repeat three times before the time
runs out.
Nanimon lights the fuse on a bomb, next to the Digimon you're
trying to get. The defusing combination appears along the top. (It can include
the arrow keys.) Enter it on the keypad before time runs out.
Poops are
falling from the sky. Move your Digimon left and right to dodge them. Avoid
being hit until the time runs out to win.
Given four arithmetic
questions over two pages (answers are one or two digits). Enter the correct
answers before the time runs out.
Your Digimon is moving to the left and
has to jump over poops. Press Up to jump, and Enter to move an extra step
forward. Hitting a poop causes a delay while your Digimon recovers.
Get to the end of the course before time runs out.
Your Digimon and
another are having an eating race. A row of randomly ordered food and vitamins
appears to your left. Press Enter to take a bite of food and Left to take a bite
of vitamin, depending on what's at the front of the queue. (If you hit the wrong
one, you don't eat anything.) It counts how many you and your opponent have
eaten. Eat more than your opponent to win.
You are given a Digimon name in Japanese with one letter missing. Input the correct letter to win.
A
Digimon quickly moves across the screen, then you're given a choice of
four names (again, in Japanese). Select the correct name to win.
Given a 3*4 grid, with
3 dark squares, which you have to copy on the keypad (the whole 3*4 section)
within a very short time. If you do it right, you blast the other Digimon and
catch it.
Your
Digimon faces another one, and two symbols appear at the top of the
screen. These symbols correspond to Rock, Paper, Scissors. (The age-old
Paper beats Rock, Rock beats Scissors, Scissors beats Paper.) If your
Digimon has the winning symbol, press up. If your Digimon has the
losing symbol, press down. The winner fires a fireball and the loser
defends. Repeat until you defeat your opponent.

New
Digimon will be sorted into one
of two groups--DATS and Enemy. DATS Digimon will be available for you
to use on missions. Below is a list of the various Digimon, where in
the game they may be found, and what minigame you have to play to
unlock the Digimon. In the case of minigames like the name-guessing
game, the question will be repeated. This is helpful if you can't read
Japanese and are reduced to wildly guessing names. Keep in mind that
the games get more difficult as you progress through the map. Below is
a listing of Digimon's locations and which minigames you will play when
you encounter them.
DATS Digimon FileEnemy Digimon FileDATSThis
option shows you which three Digimon you currently have selected as
your partners for use in Mission Mode. The default three are Agumon,
Gaomon, and Lalamon. New partners may be selected in the Digimon File.

Here,
you can view Digimon in the three groups. When you select one of these
options, you will be brought to a screen with six options, which allow
you to sort the Digimon you wish to view by level or view them all at
once.
