Chibi-Manual

The Chibi-Manual is a book written by Citrusoft Robotics that was included with a few models of Chibi-Robos to aid the customers in understanding how their new robot friend works. The first version of the Chibi-Manual, seen in Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!, is 8 chapters long and details Chibi-Rankings, Chibi-Gear, Chibi-Tools, Utilibots, and much more. The second Chibi-Manual, seen in Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji!, is a digital book that can be found on the Chibi-PC in the Cutting Edge Chibi-House, and as such, seems to be designed more for Cutting Edge Chibi-Robos to read, rather than the customers. The second Chibi-Manual has 25 chapters, covering topics such as Watts, climbing objects, the Chibi-Vacuum, and the Maintenance Machine and How-Much Machine.

Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!

The Chibi-Robo Chibi-Manual, more commonly referred to as the Chibi-Manual, is an operating manual that came with the first generation of Chibi-Robos. It has 8 chapters, each discussing specific details of Chibi-Robo's functions. In Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!, the night after Jenny Sanderson's birthday party, George Sanderson sleeps on the couch in the Living Room, loosely holding the Chibi-Manual. Shifting in his sleep, the Chibi-Manual will fall to the ground, allowing Chibi-Robo to read it. After finishing a chapter, Telly may give Chibi-Robo 6 Happy Points for studying hard.

Thank you for purchasing Chibi-Robo, a member of the Citrusoft Robotics family. We appreciate your support.

Chapter 1: Chibi-Robo and You

Chibi-Robo is your own, personal “buddy bot.” You'll never have to worry about little Chibi. He's perfectly content to wander about, working to make your life the picture of perfection! If you ever want to know what Chibi-Robo is carrying or you want to know how to control him, just press START to open the Pause menu. From here, you can learn everything you want to know about operating your Chibi-Robo.

Chapter 2: Chibi-Robo Rankings

Competition inspires all to greatness. As a result, Citrusoft has instituted a ranking system. Any Chibi-Robo that reaches the top ranking is upgraded, free of charge, to Super Chibi-Robo status. Encourage your Chibi!

Chapter 3: Bonus Batteries

As Chibi-Robo earns Happy Points to increase his rank, Citrusoft will deliver a bonus battery to boost Chibi-Robo's battery capacity. Just another sign of Citrusoft's commitment to consumer satisfaction! No need to thank us!

Chapter 4: Chibi-Gear

Left to his own devices, Chibi-Robo will seek out Moolah and purchase Chibi-Gear using his personalized Chibi-PC (stored inside of the patented Chibi-House). There are three kinds of Chibi-Gear.

Chibi-Copter

Using the Chibi-Copter, Chibi-Robo can glide safely to the ground from high areas or fly horizontally for short distances (using ).

Chibi-Radar

This handy radar detects useful things nearby.

Chibi-Blaster

This arm cannon fires a blast of sonic energy.

Chapter 5: Chibi-Tools

Chibi-Robo is an inventive and resourceful little fellow. He can carry around certain objects he finds around your house and use them as tools. By using these tools, Chibi-Robo will find all sorts of ways to serve you, so please, try not to be too hard on him if he takes something without asking.

Chapter 6: Changing Suits

Chibi-Robo can fashion unique and stylish outfits, suitable for every occasion. Press while Chibi-Robo is wearing a special suit to make Chibi strike an exciting pose. But you have to pretend you're not looking. Chibi is slightly bashful, and we feel that this is the best solution.

Chapter 7: Utilibots

Chibi-Robo is very eco-conscious, and so one of his primary functions is to collect Scrap from around your house and recycle it into Utilibots. While you will not see the Scrap being recycled into Utilibots, please be assured that they are constructed in an environmentally friendly manner, entirely out of recycled products inside of the Recyclotron in the Chibi-House. There are three kinds of Utilibot.

Ladder

These help Chibi-Robo reach high places.

Warp

These carry Chibi-Robo to far-off places.

Bridge

These help Chibi-Robo cross large gaps.

Chapter 8: More Utilibots

Ladder Utilibots

Chibi-Robo can use Ladder Utilibots to reach high places. Chibi-Robo can push or pull the Ladder Utilibot to anywhere he needs it. To activate the Ladder Utilibot, Chibi-Robo simply inserts his plug into a socket to extend a ladder. Press to stop. If Chibi-Robo overextends the ladder, Chibi-Robo can simply reinsert the plug and tilt down to lower the ladder into position. Once every ten days, Telly returns the Ladder Utilibot to its starting position. This way, Chibi-Robo never loses track of his Utilibots.

Warp Utilibots

Warp Utilibots carry Chibi-Robo to far-off places in the blink of an eye. To activate the Warp Utilibot, Chibi-Robo simply inserts his plug into a socket. The Warp Utilibot will transport him to another Warp instantly. During the warp, Chibi-Robo may spin severely and uncontrollably. If his battery is running low, this may cause operational difficulties for Chibi.

Bridge Utilibots

Bridge Utilibots help Chibi-Robo to cross large gaps. Chibi-Robo can push or pull the Bridge Utilibot to anywhere he needs it. To activate the Bridge Utilibot, Chibi-Robo simply inserts his plug into a socket to extend a bridge. Press to stop. If Chibi-Robo overextends the bridge, Chibi-Robo can simply reinsert the plug and tilt to shorten the bridge until it's in position. Once every ten days, Telly returns the Bridge Utilibot to its starting position. This way, Chibi-Robo never loses track of his Utilibots.
