Digimon Tamers: Digimon Medley, rather than have one unified plot, allows the player to control various characters of Digimon Adventure's, Digimon Adventure 02's, and Digimon Tamers's main casts through short episodes. Battles are one-on-one, where both player and enemy attack at the same time—attacks can collide in mid-air, where the stronger one wins, or miss entirely and hit both combatants. The power of an attack is determined through two mini-games, Count, where the player must rapidly press the A button within the time limit, or Timing, where the player has to correctly time a series of button-presses.

[edit] Story

The game opens with Takato Matsuki, Rika Nonaka, and Henry Wong are exploring a desolate area filled with stalagmites. They find Impmon with a captured Calumon, and Impmon then captures them in a magic circle. They wake up to find themselves trapped against crosses.

In "Adrift? The Island of Adventure", the Tamers watch scenes from the first episode of Digimon Adventure as Taichi "Tai" Kamiya and Yamato "Matt" Ishida meet up and are introduced to the other Digidestined in File Island's jungle. They are then attacked by Kuwagamon. After Kuwagamon's defeat, it returns to the Tamers as they are forced to watch another event.

In "The Dark Messenger, Devimon", Devimon appears before Tai and Matt, angering them. He then vanishes, as Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi walks up to them. The pair are then joined by Takeru "T.K." Takaishi, while Izzy acts as support. The characters climb Infinity Mountainto defeat Devimon.

In "Nanomon of the Labyrnith", the Digidestined are in Etemon's pyramid base. Izzy once again acts as support as Joe Kido, Mimi Tachikawa, and Tai adventure forth. They meet Etemon, who attacks them. Once defeated, Etemon attacks Tai and they both vanish.

In "The Castle of Darkness, Vamdemon" the Digidestined are in Myotismon's castle. Mimi supports as Sora Takenouchi, Matt, Izzy, and Joe traverse the castle and meet Myotismon in front of the gate between worlds.

In "Revival! The Demon Lord, VenomVamdemon" if Tai and the group choose to use the Agumon card, Myotismon appears before Willis in Colorado. Izzy acts as support as he and Tai wander through the flower fields. After finding and beating Myotismon, who digivolves to VenomMyotismon, Tai is transported back to Japan, where Hikari "Kari" Kamiya reveals she's the eight child. If they choose to use the Gomamon card, they find Kari being taken away by Myotismon, and Tai and Matt go after her. They find her in the clutches of Myotismon, who digivolves to VenomMyotismon, and defeat him to save her.

In "The Four Kings of the Mountain of the Devil, Dark Masters" Tai and the group must defeated each of the Dark Masters. "The Clown of Hell, Piemon" path has Tai, Matt, and T.K. face Piedmon; two of the group are turned into keychains while try to seek him out. Gomamon acts as support. "The Dangerous Game! Pinocchimon" has Puppetmon kidnapping T.K., and Matt, Sora, and Kari go to save him. "The Hardened King of the Seas! MetalSeadramon" has Tai, Mimi, and Joe seeking out MetalSeadramon while Izzy acts as support. In "Bombing Mission! Mugendramon", Tai, Izzy, and Kari look through Machinedramon's city in search of the Dark Master while Mimi acts as support.

Completing "The Four Kings of the Mountain of the Devil, Dark Masters" in the order of MetalSeadramon/Puppetmon/Machinedramon/Piedmon (as in the show) leads to "The Final Dark Digimon", in which Tai, Joe, Mimi, and Izzy (with Sora as support) fight Apocalymon. Any other combination leads to "A New World", where it is instead Matt, Sora, T.K., and Kari (with Izzy as support) who face Apocalymon, only to meet Diaboromon in his place. After Diaboromon's defeat, the Digimon Adventure section comes to an end as the Digidestined and their Digimon both reminisce and say good bye.

The scene cuts back to the Tamers, who question what is going on, only to be forced into the beginning of Digimon Adventure 02.

In "The One who Inherits Courage", completing "The Final Dark Digimon" leaves Davis Motomiya, Yolei Inoue, and Cody Hida to head through a forest to meet threes holograms of the Digimon Emperor, each of whom taunts them in front of a Control Spire before siccing an Airdramon on them. Once the Airdramon is defeated, the Control Spire breaks. Kari acts as support through the television. If "A New World" was instead completed, Kari and T.K. (now older) replace Yolei and Cody on this excursion, with Yolei as support.

In "The Digimon Kaiser's Loneliness", Davis, Yolei, and Kari traverse a canyon area while Cody acts as support from the Human World. Along the way, they meet Wormmon several times, before coming across the Digimon Emperor with Wormmon at his side. He sends another Airdramon after you. After Airdramon's defeat, Davis unmasks the Digimon Emperor as Ken Ichijouji.

In "The Combined Beast, Chimeramon", Davis, T.K., and Kari infiltrate the Digimon Emperor's base as Yolei supports from the Human World. Wormmon guides them to the energy core before sacrificing himself to give them power. In the power core of the base, the Digidestined meet the Digimon Emperor and Chimeramon, who guard the Digi-Egg of Miracles. After Chimeramon's defeat, the Digimon Emperor sees the error of his ways and begins to grieve for Wormmon.

In "The Insect Master's Trap", Davis, Yolei, Cody, and Ken are trapped in the Big House. They search for a way to escape while Kari fufills the role of support. They meet a woman, who reveals herself as Arukenimon. They defeat her, only to be stopped by her partner, Mummymon.

In "Darkness Ultimate, BlackWarGreymon", Arukenimon and Mummymon attack the first Destiny Stone. Davis interupts them, and they send BlackWarGreymon after him. After BlackWarGreymon defeats Veemon, he attacks and destroys the Destiny Stone with Gaia Destroyer.

In "Mysterious Ruin, Holy Stone", Kari meets BlackWarGreymon at the second Destiny Stone. She and Gatomon are no match for the Mega Digimon, and he again destroys the Destiny Stone. The scene cuts to Yolei, who faces and defeats Arukenimon but fails to save the third Destiny Stone. It then goes to T.K., at another Destiny Stone, who faces BlackWarGreymon. After he and Patamon are defeated, he destroys the Stone. Mummymon distracts Cody from his Stone. At the final one, Davis, Yolei, Cody, and Ken rally and defeat BlackWarGreymon, and Azulongmon reveals himself.

In "All Chosen Children Sally Forth! Imperialdramon," the Digidestined have to take care of the Control Spires and rampant Digimon around the world. The China and New York paths result in "New York and Hong Kong, Battle Royal", where Cody, Kari, and Izzy take down a Mojyamon in Hong Kong in the former, while Mimi and Davis fight a Cherrymon in the latter. The Paris path leads to "Coral and Versailles, The Rebel Fight" and Tai and T.K. fighting three Giromon. The Mexico and Russia paths go to "Love and Borscht, The Fierce Fight!" where, in the first, Matt and Ken fight a Minotarumon while the second had Yolei, Sora, and Joe facing a Mammothmon.

In "The Deadly Struggle with the Dark Digimon", Davis, Yolei, Kari, and Ken fight the Daemon Corps, culminating in a battle with Daemon himself. Ken then sends him back to the Dark Ocean.

In "Terror! BelialVamdemon", Davis, Cody, T.K., and Ken traverse the battle-scarred city to come across Yukio Oikawa, who kills Arukenimon before transforming into MaloMyotismon. After his defeat, he draws the Digidestined into the Dream Realm.

In "Our Digital World", Davis, Yolei, Kari, and Ken travel through the Dream Realm in search of MaloMyotismon as T.K. acts as support. They fight MaloMyotismon once more and defeat him for good. Afterward, Oikawa dies and gives his life energy to both revitalize and protect the Digital World. The Digimon Adventure 02 section comes to an end as all the Digidestined and their Digimon think back to their adventures.

It goes back to the Tamers and their Digimon. Empowered by what they've seen, the Digimon break free of their restraints and free their Tamers as well. Reinvigored, the Tamers continue forth in the area of stalagmites. They find Impmon, who still has Calumon in his grasp, before defeating him. Unfortunately, an unknown voice comes and knocks the Tamers away before forming energy orbs around Impmon and sending them into him. The Tamers again make their way to him, only to find the energy orb is the Digimon Sovereign Baihumon, who attacks them. After Baihumon's defeat, he leaves with a cryptic message and gives Impmon back. The game ends with the Tamers pondering what Baihumon meant.
