WARNING, SPOILERS!
The story takes place in space, where Chibi-Robo is cleaning the shuttle with his trusty [[toothbrush]]. Telly appears behind him and notices how hard he is working. He suggests that Chibi-Robo should take a break, and watch some television. Telly's screen displays [[Citrusoft]]'s news broadcast. It says that there is a disappearance of natural resources on Earth. Aliens are believed to have been the cause. Then some aliens appear behind Telly, and head straight to Earth. Telly and Chibi-Robo quickly head inside the station. The Aliens have headed all over the world, so Chibi-Robo and Telly take the [[Chibi-House]] to follow them. They start by going to [[Oceania]], to stop the Aliens from taking the natural resources from Australia. Chibi-Robo tackles harbors, grassy fields, and eventually faces off against [[Robo-Roo]]. After turning the large robot into a pile of scrap, the two head for [[North Africa]], to stop the Aliens from taking Egypt's resources. Pyramids, hot sand, and a golden robot named [[King Kabombra]] stood in the little hero's way. [[The Caribbean]] was next, Chibi-Robo's not much of a swimmer, but Citrusoft sent a submarine to help, especially when Chibi-Robo met up against the massive [[Old Ironhide]]. Chibi-Robo and Telly were then off to [[Europe]] to protect England from the mischievous space men. England got a little spooky at night, especially against [[Count Umbrahla]]. Chibi-Robo's tour of the world then headed back to [[North America]] to stop the Aliens from taking resources from Times Square. Large metal crushers and giant factories were explored before heading up against [[Construktor]]. Finally, it was up to Chibi-Robo to stop the Aliens once and for all at [[The South Pole]]. Antarctica's freezing temperatures soon heated up to volcanic mayhem, as Chibi-Robo traversed both fire and ice to finally reach [[Mothership|The Aliens' Mothership]] and destroy it. But it was far from over, a small floating orb flew out of the wreckage of the Mothership all the way to a large city and splashdowned into the ocean. The orb transformed into [[Mega Mech Menece|a ginormous monster]] and started heading for the city! Telly gets an idea, Chibi-Robo buys the [[Giant Parts]] and builds a [[Giant Chibi-Robo]] that fights the giant monster, eventually, Chibi-Robo wins the fight, and the beast shut down, before exploding. The sun rises just as victory was obtained, and Chibi-Robo and Telly took off back to the shuttle.
