D-3 Toy

D-3 stands for Digimon, Detect & Discover:


 * Digimon - You battle your Digimon throughout the Areas beating the enemy Digimon. None of Digimon has a default type; it changes based on battling and training. Vaccine = morning, Data = afternoon, and Virus = night.


 * Detect - The D-3 has an antenna, which is used to seek out other D-3s. The same antenna is used for the Digimon Help wave.


 * Discover - With this Antenna you discover Digimental by trying to detect one near an electronic signal (TVs and Radios work well). You can use any Digimental on any Digimon without restrictions.

In each version of the Digimon D-3s you have access to only two Digimon. Version 1 is Veemon/Wormmon and their evolutions, Version 2 is Hawkmon/Tailmon and evolutions, and Version 3 is Armadimon/Patamon. The D-3s allow you to connect to the D-Terminal, just like the Digivice allows you to connect to the Digimon Analyzer. In the D-3s you have the ability to Armor evolve as well as Jogress to evolve further. Progressing through the Area's requires you to take 'Steps' which in turn is a mini pendulum clicking on the inside of the toy. Gather more Digimentals and Jogress to evolve into higher levels. Keep it attached to your belt and as you walk (or shake it manually) the counter will decrease leading you to the boss of the Area. Beat the bosses to progress in the game.
