Medarot 5 was released in 2001 for the Game Boy Color. It was released on two versions: Kabuto and Kuwagata.

The game follows the adventures of Koishimaru Tensan, who has recently moved to the small town of Susutake. Koishimaru gets a new Medarotch and meets a boy named Yamato Shijimi, but his Medarotch breaks after he gets pushed into cow manure. He later finds an abandoned Medarotch and Medarot (Chrotojil (Kabuto) or Shinzan (Kuwagata)) inside of a tree and is forced to activate them in a sudden Robottle.

• The game features a new "combo" system in battles, where choosing parts with the winning symbol (rock, paper, or scissors) awards you bonuses like increased accuracy.
• Medals now have branching forms that the player can choose between.
• Medaforce is now called Medaskill.
• The graphics are much more vibrant and detailed.
• A whole new cast of characters.
• The graphics enhance and minor storyline events change when played on a Game Boy Advance.
• The game's plot is broken into days, and events open up day by day.

Continuity and Placement

Both Medarot 5 and its sequel Medarot G take place significantly after Ikki's games and Medarot Navi. Enough to Ikki and his friends being already in their late teens, as seen in Medarot G.

Trivia

Medarot 5 is a return to form. Compare it to Medarot 1 and Medarotter Rintarou!!, and the similarities are surprising, as 5 has elements of 1, sans the Roborobo gang, it has a smaller scope (Susutake), and no EX story after the credits, and Koishimaru finding Omeda/Nekuu mirrors Hikaru and Bonaparte finding the Medals that'd be used in Metabee/Rokusho.

From Medarotter Rintarou, 5 clearly has a similar hot-booded and energetic youth joining and reforming a Medarot Club, much like Rintarou reforming the Damerot Club in Medarotter Rintarou, and entering many tournaments, like both Medarot 1 and Medarotter Rintarou.
