Data Carddass (データカードダス, Dēta Kādodasu) is a series of Japanese arcade machines created by Bandai, which largely focus around the use of collectible trading cards. It is an expansion of Bandai's Carddass collectible card series, which allows players to use special cards to interact with games. Many of these machines revolve around various Anime and Tokusatsu franchises owned by Bandai. The machines first began release in Japanese arcade from March 2005.
Data Carddass make use of special Carddass cards with data stored on them. These collectible cards can be read by various Data Carddass machines in order to interact with the game. For example, in Aikatsu!, a game revolving around fashion, players can scan cards featuring various clothes to make their character wear them. Depending on the machine, cards can either be inserted via a slot or scanned via a flat panel. Each machine is also fitted with various controls unique to their specific minigames, such as buttons which require timed presses or touches. Performing well in these games can also grant additional cards. Select machines utilise IC cards, which allow frequent players to save personal data from the games. Certain machines can also scan collectible toys to affect the gameplay.
These machines are periodically updated as new elements are added in their respective franchises.
