Orange Tropics is one of the two 2026 Tamagotchi Paradise versions, released worldwide on July 10, 2026 alongside its sister version, White Glacier. It starts you in the all-new Tropical Field — a sun-soaked beach-and-jungle biome full of characters you can’t raise on any of the original 2025 shells. This guide has the full Tropical Field roster, the complete Orange Tropics growth chart, field unlock order, and how it compares to White Glacier.

What Makes Orange Tropics Different
Orange Tropics and White Glacier run the same core game as the 2025 Paradise — the same crank-zoom planet, the same care-mistake and evolution systems — with three real additions:
- The Tropical Field — an all-new beach-and-jungle biome with its own native characters, exclusive (with Ice) to the 2026 versions.
- Two new mini-games, playable solo or with a friend through the new Connection Mini-Game feature when you dock two devices.
- The Golden Peach snack — earned from a perfect 9-egg Egg Hunt, it reduces your care-mistake count by one when eaten. This is the first time a care mistake can be undone, and it makes perfect-care runs far more forgiving.
Orange Tropics does not include the Land, Water, or Sky fields at all — so the original 2025 field characters (like the classic Land-field Mametchi) can’t be raised here. What you get instead is the Tropical roster, the returning Forest roster, and the Ice roster once it unlocks.
Field Unlock Order
| Order | Field |
|---|---|
| Start | Tropical Field 🌴 |
| Unlock 1 | Forest Field 🌲 (returning from Jade Forest) |
| Unlock 2 | Ice Field ❄️ |
The Forest Field debuted on the 2025 Jade Forest shell, so Orange Tropics owners get those Forest characters too — plus the brand-new Tropical roster from the start and the Ice roster once your planet level is high enough.
Orange Tropics Growth Chart (Tropical Field)
Your adult depends on three choices, same as always: the Tropical Field sets the Kid (Tropical Kid), the food you feed most sets the Young species, and your total care mistakes set which of four adults you get. Perfect care means 0 mistakes and both the Hunger and Happy meters maxed 5+ times each. Tropical characters have a 30% sick rate (vs 35% on the original shells).
| Young species (diet) | 🌟 Perfect care (0) | Near-perfect (0–1) | Moderate (2–5) | Heavy neglect (6+) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Roar — Tropical Meat (Tropical Steak, Tropical Patty, Hawaiian Burger) | Tropical Meowtchi | Madillotchi | Tarantytchi | Crocotchi |
| Toddle — Banana (Tropical Fruits, Bananas, Fruit Jelly, Banana on a Stick) | Tropical Mametchi | Parorotchi | Tenatchi | Namakemotchi |
| Lick — Butterflies (Butterfly Snacks, Meal Critters, Butterfly Salad) | Kuikuitchi | Poizutchi | Chameleotchi | Iguanatchi |
| Sprout — mixed / default pellets | Yashikitchi | Tropical Potsunentchi | Ananatchi | Avovotchi |
Secret character — Manapatchi: connect your Orange Tropics to two different version colors while your Tamagotchi is in the Young stage. A Tropical Sprout Young does not qualify — you must be on the Roar, Toddle, or Lick line.
Orange Tropics vs. White Glacier: Which Should You Buy?
The two 2026 versions are identical except for which field you start in and their exclusive secret character:
| Orange Tropics | White Glacier | |
|---|---|---|
| Starts in | Tropical Field 🌴 | Ice Field ❄️ |
| Then unlocks | Forest → Ice | Forest → Tropical |
| Exclusive secret | Manapatchi | Hobohorntchi |
| Best for | Beach & jungle characters first | Snow & polar characters first |
Because some adults are exclusive to the field you raise them in, your starting field decides which characters you meet earliest. Pick Orange Tropics if the Tropical characters are the ones you most want first. For the full head-to-head, see White Glacier vs Orange Tropics.
Should You Upgrade From a 2025 Shell?
Yes — more than any previous re-release. If you own Blue Water, Pink Land, Purple Sky, or Jade Forest, Orange Tropics is the first version with genuinely new fields and characters rather than a recolor. The core care system is unchanged, so everything you’ve learned carries straight over.

The 50% Perfect Egg Hunt — a 2026-Shell Exclusive
A “successful” Egg Hunt means collecting all nine eggs, and it is mostly luck — but not equally so on every shell.
| Shell | Chance of a perfect nine-egg hunt |
|---|---|
| Blue Water, Pink Land, Purple Sky, Jade Forest | ~10% |
| White Glacier & Orange Tropics | ~50% |
Both figures assume your current Tamagotchi is in the hunting party and its happiness meter is full. The 2026 shells make perfect hunts roughly five times more likely, which matters far more than it sounds: a perfect hunt is the only source of the Golden Peach, the snack that erases a care mistake.
If you plan to chase perfect-care adults, that single difference is the strongest argument for buying a 2026 shell.
