The boxart for Chibi-Robo!

Chibi-Robo! is the first game in the Chibi Robo Series. It was released for the Gamecube in 2006. It was developed by Skip, Ltd and published in Japan by Bandai and in North America and Europe by Nintendo. It stars a little robot named Chibi-Robo who tries to make his family happy.

Story

The game is set in the house of a dysfunctional family, the Sandersons.

On Jenny's eighth birthday, Mr. Sanderson gave Jenny a Chibi-Robo, a small robot whose goal it is to bring happiness to everyone, despite not having a job, and the family's financial problems. Mrs. Sanderson, his wife, was mad at him because he had bought it without asking her.

Even though the family was in a critical financial situation, they celebrated Jenny's birthday with Chibi-Robo and Telly Vision. Night eventually came, and the family went to sleep (Mr. Sanderson was forced to sleep on the couch because Mrs. Sanderson was still mad at him), while Chibi-Robo went off to explore the house. He soon found out that the toys around the house were also alive, and he befriended them and started helping them out with their troubles. Drake Redcrest accepts Chibi-Robo as the Universe's 99th Space Hunter, gives him the Drake Redcrest Suit as a gift, for his life needed more justice, and taught him how to Pose with Z.

Chibi-robo and Telly Vision hear strange noises coming from the far side of the Foyer and decide to investigate, yet, the Free Rangers consider him an enemy and avoid him from going any further until he acquired a Mug in which he hide himself and avoided their shots this way.

His adventure around the Sandersons' house continued.

Characters

There are several toys in the house.

A Free Ranger.

The first one the player finds is either Space Hunter Drake Redcrest, a hero from a very famous TV Show, with Mr. Sanderson as one of his many fans, with everything related to him, like a Mug and a Toothbrush, both of which Chibi-Robo uses as Tools, or Sophie, Tao's toy, who has a crush on Drake Redcrest and loves to watch his patrol. Then, as the adventure progresses, he'll find many other toys, such as the Free Rangers, an army of egg soldiers, Captain Plankbeard, an old pirate who wanders around the Basement, and who asks of Chibi-Robo several things in order to be able to sail again (like recovering his ship or hiring a pirate crew, for example), The Great Pekoe, a weird toy who likes to meditate and "purify souls" (Which is basically a way of earning much Moolah in little time), Sunshine, a bear starving for nectar, Princess Pitts, a lovely princess living in 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 sprouts who dance with him, and Primopuel, who he finds in a Treasure Chest.

There is also the family, which is going through financial problems. Jenny is their eight-year old daughter, who wears a Frog Costume all day and things she is a Frog. Mr. Sanderson is the unemployed father of the family. He quits his company without telling Mrs. Sanderson, what made her get mad at him, especially since he kept buying new Drake Redcrest toys. She ends up locking herself in her bedroom. 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 Goldfish (Chibi-Robo, however, only interacts with the goldfish by feeding them with Cookie Crumbs).

Chibi-Robo's manager, Telly Vision, is a small TV-Shaped robot who offers support to Chibi-Robo (Most of the times by talking instead of him, as Chibi-Robo is unable to speak. His dream is to become a singer, having already a song, Teriyaki Blues. Giga-Robo is a giant robot deactivated in the Basement. He shares a close relationship with all the other Toys, but due to an energy crisis, he was deactivated.

There are also the Spidorz, the evil spider robots designed by Mr. Sanderson and reprogrammed by his company in order to be hostile and evil to Chibi-Robos 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 ends up destroying the Queen Spydor with the help of Mr. Sanderson, who upgrades his Chibi-Blaster.
