n the most recent installment of the Patapon series, Patapon 3 (パタポン3) begins directly where Patapon 2 ended, the Patapons finish building their bridge and have crossed the river to a new land. They find a large mysterious box. When the Patapons opened the box, seven evil spirits came out and turned everyone into stone except Hatapon. A new tribe called the Bonedeths is seen in the third game's demo. It is unknown whether a tribe is merely a servant of each spirit, or actually manifestations of it. Six other, completely new tribes will likely be introduced in the third game's story. Also, inside the box is a Silver Hoshipon, which finds Almighty and offers to help restore some of the Patapons back to life. The first one Hoshipon restores is Hero and powers him up into Superhero Patapon. Together, they found Hatapon playing PATA PATA PATA in which then you beat PON. After a while Hatapon gives you the PATA drum. Then the demo starts. Experience Points make their debut in this game. Based on speculation, experience points are based on what enemies are defeated within the quest. As the hero gains more levels, it will receive less experience points for beating the same enemies within the quest. Also, even if your hero fails a mission, it will still receive experience points.
Plus: the Patachat is available in Multiplayer Demo.
Demo Multiplayer
Edit
There is a multiplayer mode after the player finishes the story mode mission. It is similar to the Patagate in Patapon 2 but has some differences too. First of all, it has Ad-Hoc functionality to link with nearby players. But the biggest change is the infrastructure (online multiplayer) function; it can support 4 (some say it will have 6) people at a time in both Ad-Hoc and online play. It is also related to Patagate because you use Hero Patapons as your battle character. You can Chat now while playing. There are two missions you have to complete before you can start Versus mode. The first multiplayer mission is called Field Quest. Where you will first battle the Cyclops and the Bonedeth. The second one is called Multiplayer Dungeon. Where there is two parts of the level and the end you battle the Dragon. Unlike the first quest where you can play it by yourself , the second mission the patapons need to be level 2 or higher. Also there needs to be at least 2 people to play. As spoken above, Experience Points also play a role in Patapon 3. A new feature in Patapon 3 is the backwards gameplay, only in the dungeon; when you clear the first area of the quest you go down to a lower level, but the Patapons will be walking the other way (the opposite way than they do in Patapon 1 and 2 its cool ). WARNING: If you exit the mutiplayer screen and go back your hero will reset. If you beat the multiplayer dungeon's two floors, you unlock the versus mode, where two teams of four fight to the death. You can select any of the classes, and they're all level five by default. After a match is over, players are given experience points like in co-op mode, but the difference is that when you return to the title screen or turn the power off, you still keep your experience points from versus mode.
