Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash (なげなわアクション!ぐるぐる!ちびロボ!, Lasso Action! Round and Round! Chibi Robo!) is a 2015 side-scrolling 2.5D platformer for the Nintendo 3DS and is the fifth installment of the Chibi-Robo! series.

Story

Earth’s natural resources are vanishing – could eye-witness sightings of tiny UFOs have something to do with it? Whatever the case, Chibi-Robo must return to Earth to prevent an international crisis and send those thieving aliens packing!

Gameplay

  • Climb, jump, run and throw your plug and cord
  • Whip enemies and ricochet your plug and cord off of walls to solve puzzles
  • Tons of collectibles
  • Tap the new Chibi-Robo Amiibo figure to power up Chibi-Robo into "Super Chibi-Robo" or use a Chibi-Capsule Vending Machine to unlock the in-game collectible Figures.

Bundle Version

This is a special bundle that comes with an amiibo figure. This amiibo transforms Chibi-Robo into Super Chibi-Robo. As Super Chibi-Robo, players will move faster and have a greater range for their plug. Leveling up the amiibo unlocks special characters.

Reception

The game's reception was largely negative, with many reviewers finding it generic and Chibi-Robo fans feeling that it did not represent the series well. A YouTube video criticising it entitled Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash | The Darkest Age of Nintendo received over 2.5 million views, resulting in many referential jokes online when discussing the game.
