'''''Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure! '''''is the first game in the [[Chibi-Robo! (series)|''Chibi-Robo!'' series]], and was released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2006. It was developed by [[skip Ltd.]] and published in Nintendo. It became a part of the New Play Control! series in Japan for Wii on June 11, 2009. The main objective of the game is to earn [[Happy Point]]s by making people happy, and eventually become the [[Super Chibi-Robo Suit|best Chibi-Robo]].

==Story==
The game is set in the house of a dysfunctional family, the [[Sandersons]].

On [[Jenny Sanderson|Jenny Sanderson's]] eighth birthday, her father, [[George Sanderson]], purchases her a [[Chibi-Robo]], a small robot whose goal is to bring happiness to everyone. Because of the family's financial problems and Mr. Sanderson not having a job, [[Mrs. Sanderson]] (his wife) gets angry at Mr. Sanderson for spending so much Moolah during such a time.

Even though the family is in a critical financial situation, they celebrate [[Jenny]]'s birthday with Chibi-Robo and [[Telly Vision]]. [[Day Cycle|Night]] eventually comes and the family goes to sleep ([[Mr. Sanderson]] being forced to sleep on the couch as [[Mrs. Sanderson]] is still mad at him), while [[Chibi-Robo]] goes off to explore the house. He and Telly Vision soon find out that the toys around the house can move and talk, and he befriends them, and starts helping them out with their troubles. His adventure around the [[Sandersons' house]] continues.

==Characters==
There are several toys in the house.

One of the first toys the player finds is [[Drake Redcrest|Space Hunter Drake Redcrest]], a hero from a very famous TV show. [[Mr. Sanderson]] is one of his many fans and has everything related to him, like a [[Mug]] and a [[Toothbrush]], both of which Chibi-Robo will use as [[Tools]]. Another toy that will be met on the first night is [[Sophie]], [[Tao]]'s chew toy, who has a crush on Drake Redcrest and loves to watch his patrol. Then, as the adventure progresses, Chibi-Robo will find many other toys, such as the [[Free Ranger]]s, an army of egg soldiers, [[Captain Plankbeard]], an old pirate who wanders around the [[Basement]] and asks Chibi-Robo for several things in order to be able to sail again (like recovering [[The Scurvy Splinter|his ship]] or hiring a pirate crew, for example), [[The Great Peekoe]], a strange toy who likes to meditate and "purify souls" (A gambling mini-game that can be used to make much [[Moolah]] in little time), [[Sunshine]], a bear starving for nectar, [[Princess Pitts]], a lovely princess living in [[Jenny's Room|Jenny's bedroom]], [[Mort]], a mummy living under Jenny's bed with a crush on [[Princess Pitts]], [[Dinah]], a dinosaur made of bricks with a crush on [[Funky Phil]], another toy, who loves to dance and ends up with a bunch of [[Phillies|sprouts]] who dance with him, and [[Primopuel]], who he finds in a [[Tamagotchi|Treasure Chest]].

The [[Sandersons|Sandersons family]] is going through financial problems. [[Jenny]] is their eight-year old daughter who wears a Frog Costume all day and thinks she is a [[Frogs|Frog]]. [[Mr. Sanderson]] is the unemployed father of the family. He quits his company without telling [[Mrs. Sanderson]], which makes her mad at him, especially since he keeps buying new [[Drake Redcrest]] toys without telling her. She eventually ends up locking herself in her [[bedroom]] and threatens divorce. [[Tao]], the dog of the family, also interacts with Chibi-Robo.

Besides toys and the family, there are also many other characters. There is [[Kid Eggplant]], [[Mr. Prongs]], a [[Bird]], two [[Frogs]], the [[Tamagotchi]] and the [[Fish]] (Chibi-Robo, however, only interacts with the goldfish by feeding them with [[Crumb|Cookie Crumbs]]).

[[Chibi-Robo]]'s manager, [[Telly Vision]], is a small TV-shaped [[Robots|robot]] who offers support to Chibi-Robo, most of the time by talking in his place, as Chibi-Robo is unable to speak. His dream is to become a singer, already having a song, [[Teriyaki Blues]]. [[Giga-Robo]] is a giant robot deactivated in the [[Basement]]. He shares a close relationship with all the other [[Toy]]s, but due to an energy crisis, he was deactivated.

There are also the [[Spydorz]], the evil spider robots designed by [[Mr. Sanderson]] and reprogrammed by his company in order to be hostile and evil to [[Chibi-Robo]]s everywhere. Chibi-Robo uses his [[Chibi-Blaster]] to destroy them and used their [[Scrap]] to build [[Utilibots]] in the [[Recyclotron]] in order to help him reach otherwise impossible to reach spots, or move around the house faster. Chibi-Robo soon destroys the [[Queen Spydor]] with the help of [[Mr. Sanderson]], who upgrades his [[Chibi-Blaster]].

==Development==
{{Main|Chibi-Robo! (Prototype Pre-Alpha)}}

Chibi-Robo! was announced in early 2003 with publishing rights held by Bandai. Its original projected release date was June 2003 in Japan and spring 2004 in North America.<ref>http://cube.ign.com/articles/394/394043p1.html IGN Staff (April 17, 2003). "Chibi Robo - GameCube Preview". IGN. Retrieved May 26, 2008.</ref> Unlike the released version of Chibi-Robo!, the beta version entailed the player training Chibi-Robo to defend the home of his inventor from a pair of burglars. The gameplay was different as well; instead of a platform-adventure game, it played like a point-and-click adventure title, where the player was not in direct control of Chibi-Robo, but was rather conveying commands to him by clicking a cursor around the area.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0507/2_2/ Nintendo staff. プラグをかついで プレイレポート (in Japanese). Nintendo. Retrieved March 26, 2011.</ref>

==Sequels==
It received a sequel in 2007 (2008 in Australia) called ''[[Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol]]''. In 2009, a third installment was released only in Japan, titled ''[[Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji!|Okaeri!&nbsp;Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji!]]'', which takes place in the house of a grown-up [[Jenny]], from the first game.

== Trivia ==

*The game was originally going to be published by Bandai as a point & click adventure game.

*At the start of development (presumably 2002), the game's eventual director, Kenichi Nishi was not part of the project.

*In 2003, Nintendo producer Kensuke Tanabe discussed the game with Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto, and Miyamoto said "The character is pretty nice, so I think if Nishi works on the game it will be great." This led to Nintendo publishing the game instead of Bandai, and Nishi taking the duty of director.

*Chibi-Robo is made from recycled aluminum. This was revealed in the second game, ''[[Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol]].''

*The characters show graphical glitches when shot by the [[Chibi-Blaster]].

*The flag on the trophy in the basement behind The Great Peekoe is only one dimensional. If you go behind the trophy, you can't see the flag.
