'''''Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji!''''' or '''''おかえり！ちびロボ！ハッピーリッチー大そうじ''''' literally meaning, "Welcome home! Chibi-Robo! Happy, Rich Big Sweep!" is a Nintendo DS game that was released exclusively in Japan on July 23rd, 2009. The game revolves around a [[Chibi-Robo]] who helps out with a now grown [[Jenny Sanderson]] from ''[[Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!]]'' who now has a family of her own. | |||
=Story= | |||
The game starts with a cutscene in a first-person perspective and takes place in a wrecked building. Chibi-Robo is stranded there with only 6 [[Watt]]s left. He looks around for an [[Outlet]] and detects one far from him, only for the Outlet to be blocked by a vent. Chibi-Robo sees another one, and heads toward it. When he gets to the outlet, it gets blocked by another vent. Then he realizes he has no watts left, collapses, and shuts off. Someone speaks while Chibi-Robo is out of power. He is then recharged and wakes up again, now finding himself in a [[Chibi-House]]. He examines the Chibi-House, and the stranger in front of him, who quickly introduces himself as this game’s iteration of [[Telly (Okaeri!)|Telly]], Chibi-Robo’s manager. | |||
Telly explains that you both have been bought by Jenny’s family, the same Jenny from ''[[Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!]]'' who is now an adult with a child of her own. As Chibi-Robo and Telly leave the house, they are introduced to the family, consisting of Jenny, her son [[Keith]], and their dog [[Lucky]]. As they marvel over their newly acquired Chibi-Robo, Jenny tells you that you were purchased to help clean up around the house, since she wasn’t able to keep up with housework because of her job, and it becomes apparent that the family has a lot of financial woes, even more so than in ''[[Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!]]''. | |||
=Gameplay= | |||
Unlike its predecessor, ''[[Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol]]'', ''Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji!'' takes gameplay back to its roots, focusing on cleaning a house and exploring it for {{Moolah|link}} and {{HappyPoints|link}}. A new feature within the game is the ability to vacuum up dust found around the house. This is done by plugging into an [[Outlet]], giving Chibi-Robo the energy needed to do the chore. However, Chibi-Robo is still limited by his cord length and amount of energy, which is available for the house. Electricity is not a free thing, as energy for the house is collected by compacting trash, giving garbage a whole new importance beyond obtaining Happy Points. Moving around in game is done by using the touch screen, rather than the D-Pad like in ''[[Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol]]'', meaning that the actual game is displayed on the lower screen, and not the top. The camera is controlled by the D pad and ABXY buttons, while items are toggled through the L and R buttons. | |||

In ''Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji!'', there is a whole new cast of [[Toy|toys]], including some originals that apparently have "stayed back" since last seen in ''[[Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!]]''. | |||
