The '''Parts Collection''' games are special types of Medarot games where the only objective is to win many battles in a row and create the best Medarots from the parts gained from winning battles. The parts can then be traded to one's main game.

The '''Parts Collection''' games were a series of "power-up" side games that were released alongside the main Medarot series games between 1998 and 2000. They included simplified scenarios with a large number of NPC battles, and generally provided a much easier method of collecting the Medarot parts available in their associated game. The parts could then be traded or transfered to one's main game.
