Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder

In a cutscene where Miss Clayra is driving the Chibi-Tot kindergarten school bus, she talks about how free she was when she was younger. Then she talks to the tots, and they tell her to grab the steering wheel before the bus crashes. Then, when they land, they hide and one asks Chibi-Robo to play with them. A game they play is hide-and-seek. There are three foods where they hide behind. A pear, a pepper, and an eggplant. The tot with a red bow-tie is the one to hide. All the tots have to scramble and run behind the food and try to make the player miss the bow-tie tot. There are three modes, easy, medium, and hard. The speed increases as progression happens. If the player makes it to hard mode, they must find the Chibi-Tot without the bow-tie on, while the others have one. If the player manages to beat hard mode, a Chibi-Tot will come up, and tell Chibi-Robo that he is so cool, and that he wants to play again sometime. If the player loses medium, the tot will say Chibi-Robo is average, and asks how it feels. Though, this does not affect any notifications on the Chibi-PC about playing again. The first time played, tots will discuss about Miss Clayra with Chibi-Robo. Then it will be time for them to leave. While collecting your Happy Points, the tots will skip toward the bus in a single-file line, and leap onto it.

Chibi-tots are collectables in stages. There are three in each stage. When Chibi-Robo first encounters one,the Chibi-tot will be excited to see Chibi-Robo. Then it will ask if he is as speedy as the tot is. The tot tells Chibi-Robo that there are two others in the stage to find. If Chibi-Robo comes near a Chibi-tot, it will run away. When Chibi-Robo get close enough, they can jump to the other side or stay in place, depending on the stage and the position. A Chibi-tot can be stunned by rolling into one or jumping into it while it is jumping. A roll knocks it into the air, and in either case they land while dizzy. This is temporary, though, as they will try to escape again after a few moments. Once Chibi-Robo has caught up with a Chibi-tot, the player can press the A button to pick it up and store it away. If Chibi-Robo is idle next to a Chibi-tot for a while, they will wave goodbye, and jump down into the background. This makes them irretrievable until the stage is loaded again. Chibi-tots are very fragile, as if they are hit with the Chibi-Plug, they break and become irretrievable in much the same way. Chibi-tots are worth 1000 points each

In stages involving moving with vehicles, Chibi-tots appear inside bubbles. They do not run away in this state and are retrieved by touching them.

After being obtained for the first time, Chibi-tots are transparent.
