It follows a alternative adventures of [[Ikki Tenryou]] and his friends the town of [[Omikuji]], but doesn't match the established setting in [[Medarot 2]], [[Medarot 3]] and [[Medarot 4]]. |
| Medarot R is the first Medarot game to employ 3D graphics, specifically for its battle sequences. It uses the character designs and feature some characters and Medarots introduced in the [[Medarotter Rintarou!]] manga although its storyline does not closely match that of the manga.

| == Continuity and Placement == | | == Box Art == |
| | |
| The game presents an alternate retelling of Ikki's story, placing it in a different continuity from Medarot 2, 3, and 4. However, it still serves as a sequel to the [[Medarot 1|original game]] and vaguely to the [[Medarotter Rintarou!]] manga as well.
| |
| | |
| == Differences from [[Medarot 2]] ==
| |
| | |
| * The story is still about Ikki facing RoboRobo Gang, but the events of the chapters are completely different from the events of Medarot 2.
| |
| | |
| * The characters have undergone a redesign, some just have a different color scheme but others are practically unrecognizable.
| |
| | |
| * Ikki necessarily starts with Metabee, instead of the player having the choice between him and Rokusho.
| |
| ** However, Kuwagata Medal is given by Hikaru at the end of the third chapter and at the beginning of the next chapter, Rokusho's parts are given to Ikki by Katekin Ten, making Ikki have both medarots in a single game.
| |
| | |
| * The game doesn't have side-quests other than looking for hidden medals, so there's no choice between Arika and Karin with the entire script being very linear.
| |
| | |
| * All medals can be obtained in a single playthrough as there aren't two versions.
| |
| | |
| * All leaders of the RoboRobo Gang from Medarot 2 have been replaced by new characters although they have some equivalence.
| |
| ** Shiokara was replaced by Red Makko.
| |
| ** Sarami was replaced by Green Pork.
| |
| ** Surume was replaced by Pink Duck.
| |
| ** Sakekaasu was replaced by Silver Bat.
| |
| ** Dr. Hebereke was replaced by Medal God.
| |
| ** Katekin Ten has a similar role to the scientist at the end of Medarot 2/Core who releases Primity Baby.
| |
| | |
| * The Island tournament from Medarot 2 was replaced by Medarot Tournament and Hyper Tournament.
| |
| | |
| * The game does not employ the traditional "Relay Race" format used in most of the Medarot RPGs. Rather, a flashing icon is used to display how close a Medarot on either side is ready to perform an action.
| |
|
| |
|
| * This is the first game that introduced the characters from the Medarotter Rintarou! manga. In the main continuity, however, this happens in [[Medarot 3]].

| ** [[Medarot 2 Core]] however has the presence of Rintarou, making it the second game after Medarot R to have the character in a retelling of the Medarot 2 events.
