A Chibi-Robo is a robot produced by Citrusoft Robotics, programmed with the goal of making people happy. Every Chibi-Robo comes with a Chibi-House shaped like its head. Chibi-Robos were preceded by Giga-Robos, a similar looking robot also made by Citrusoft Robotics, a long time before Chibi-Robo were created. Chibi-Robo are unable to speak, but can communicate using yes or no using signs. They run on Watts and can be recharged by plugging into an Outlet.

The First Series of Chibi-Robo

The first generation of Chibi-Robo was dedicated to helping around the house doing things like household chores. Over a million Chibi-Robos were sold in the first 6 months after their initial release.[1] They came with a Chibi-Copter built into their head and could purchase a Chibi-Blaster and Chibi-Radar with Moolah. They each come with a manager/mascot robot called Telly Vision. These Chibi-Robos eventually caused an energy crisis like the Giga-Robos and got less popular.

The Sandersons' Chibi-Robo

The first generation of Chibi-Robo can be seen in Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!, and is owned by the Sandersons. George Sanderson bought the Chibi-Robo for his daughter, Jenny Sanderson, as a birthday gift. Its first objective was to get a gift for Jenny. Mrs. Sanderson was angry at her husband for buying the Chibi-Robo since he was between jobs. He then eventually met several toys. The Chibi-Robo eventually discovered the Sandersons' Giga-Robo in the Basement. He in fact stopped a divorce for the Sandersons and saved Mr. and Mrs. Sandersons relationship.

The Sandersons' Chibi-Robo was a gift for Jenny Sanderson on her birthday from her dad. It's first objective was to get a gift for Jenny. Mrs. Sanderson was angry at her husband for buying it since he was between jobs, and he only really wanted it for himself. It would soon find the Giga-Robo that was put away due to the bills. Not only it would fight the Spydorz but their Queen as well. After Chibi-Robo Successfully reactivated Giga-Robo he made his third wish, after once again realizing that the Chibi-Robos would result in another energy crisis Giga-Robo wished for an infinite battery supply, allowing him to function forever with any Chibi-Robo that plugs itself into Giga-Robo. Giga-Robo now lives peacefully with the Sanderson's, Chibi-Robo and all the toys that thank him for bringing them to life and everything was back to normal.

Blooming Chibi-Robo

Appearing in Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol, this model of Chibi-Robo was created because flowers around the world were disappearing. He was programmed by Citrusoft Robotics and was later included in a special project to repair parks that have been abandoned and shipped thousands of the Chibi-Robos to these parks, claiming to be, "Free!". This Chibi-Robo model comes with a Boom Box to make plants happy. Through the Chibi-Gear shop, this model can also use a Squirter for watering flowers and a tiny bike to get around quicker. Blooming Chibi-Robos come with a Chibi-House with their manager, Chet, built-in. Its Chibi-PC is the planning area for Park Projects, which must first be installed via Cartridge. The Blooming Chibi-Robo's manager is supposed to hold full responsibility for project completion, but on at least one occasion this Chibi-Robo was shipped with a manager unable to exit the Chibi-House. In such instances, other help must be found by Chibi, usually in the form of toys. Should Project Cartridges be lost, Citrusoft is able to re-issue some cartridges for a fee in watts, however, the remainder must be recovered by Chibi.

To accomplish its main goal of flower growth, Chibi-Robo must first use the Boom Box near White Flowers to dance. At the end of the song, Chibi's dance is scored. The higher this score is, the higher the number of seeds released by the flower. This score must be at least 70 points (50 with the Chibi-Gear powerup active) for any seeds to be produced. These seeds then embed themselves in the ground, and become buds. Chibi-Robo can then cause these buds to grow by squirting them with the Squirter. However, buds can only grow when the plot of land they are growing in is not sand. After a successfully completed dance, the flower's color will change to a random color capable of growing in that plot.

When there at least 30 fully grown flowers in a plot of land, that plot will become a green space, and any unwatered buds will become happy points. Any white flowers that have not danced will also change to a random flower capable of growing in that plot. Should a seed land in a plot that has already turned green, it will still become a bud, but should Chibi attempt to water it, it will become a happy point instead.


Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji!

A Chibi-Robo owned by Jenny's family. He contributes to the family's Savings Tournaments, and orders new furniture from the TV shopping network to help make the family feel richer.

NostalJunk Chibi-Robo

The NostalJunk model of Chibi-Robo can be seen in Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder. This model specializes in taking pictures of various NostalJunk, and is the only Chibi-Robo model without a Chibi-House. The design of this model is not too different from the first two. His eyes are slightly smaller than the first model Chibi-Robo. The Chibi-Plug is less round, lacking the small rings near the cord. The main design of the plug has more rectangular edges. The cord is thicker. His cap is slightly larger. His legs are closer to the middle. His signs are a green circle with white outlining, and a red 'X' with white outlining as well.

Curator's Chibi-Robo

Th serves the Curator by helping his NostalJunk museum grow by collecting NostalJunk in the past. As a Chibi-Robo, he serves the Curator as he was built by Citrusoft to make people happy. This Chibi-Robo is a very busy one, as he does work for the Curator and many others characters. Unlike the past models, this Chibi-Robo's initial battery can hold a maximum of 50 watts, however through acquiring battery extensions from the Curator, This Chibi-Robo can increase its battery from 100 to 200 to 500, to infinite battery.

Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash

This Chibi-Robo is the latest model. He seems to not be owned by anyone. This Chibi-Robo is independent, as he demonstrates self-defense for himself, with his cord. This model does not seem to have the Chibi-Blaster equipped. His home is in space, unlike previous models. He has a toothbrush, but is never seen using it in gameplay. Unlike to ones from the other games, he doesn't have his watt capacity increase from time to time, as instead, his watts start with 999 watts. His watts can only be increased as Super Chibi-Robo, at 2000 watts. His communication signs have been changed, as no would remain an 'X' and yes would become a check mark.
