Revision as of 20:15, 4 June 2024 by Hoshcof (talk | contribs) (Added italics to game sections)

The Chibi-House is a product developed by Citrusoft that serves as a home for Chibi-Robo. A Chibi-House is included with the purchase of a Chibi-Robo, with the exception of the NostalJunk model Chibi-Robo. All Chibi-House models come standard with an Outlet for Chibi-Robo to recharge his Watts and a Chibi-PC for Chibi-Robo to use for various activities, though each model has unique features past that.

Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!

 
The Chibi-House included with the first generation Chibi-Robo model.

The first generation model of the Chibi-House has a spacious interior, equipped with an Outlet, a Chibi-Ranking board, a Chibi-PC, and a Recyclotron. If the included Chibi-Robo enters the top 10 of the Chibi-Rankings, colored LED blocks are placed on either side of the Chibi-Ranking board. The exterior features a ventilation fan in the ceiling, four ventilation flaps along the upper walls, a handle on the roof for easy carrying, 'eyes' that light up during the power on sequence located either side of the door , and a door that folds down into stairs for Chibi-Robo to enter. The power switch is located on the back of the Chibi-House. In Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!, the Sanderson family keep their Chibi-House in the Living Room near the Kitchen door. Chibi-Robo stores the Giga-Charger inside the Chibi-House, as charging it from one of the Outlets around the house would drive the Sandersons' power bill up too high for them to afford.

Outlet

Main article: Outlet

The Outlet located on the left wall of the Chibi-House recharges Chibi-Robo's Watts and allows the player to save the game, functioning like all other Outlets in the Sanderson home. However, this is the only Outlet where Chibi-Robo can update his Chibi-Ranking after collecting Happy Points. The Giga-Charger is plugged into the bottom socket of this Outlet while Chibi-Robo charges it.

Chibi-Ranking Board

Main article: Chibi-Ranking

The Chibi-Ranking board is located above the Chibi-PC, and displays the Chibi-Robo's current Chibi-Ranking. The Chibi-Ranking is dependent on how many Happy Points the Chibi-Robo has collected. If the Chibi-Robo enters the top 10 of the Chibi-Rankings, colored LED blocks will be placed on either side of the Chibi-Ranking board, one for each spot earned in the top 10.

Chibi-PC

The Chibi-PC is located on the back wall of the Chibi-House and allows Chibi-Robo to access an Online Shop to spend Moolah, use the Recyclotron to build Utilibots with Scrap, and access the Scrap Trade. Chibi-Robo can purchase various Chibi-Gear made by Citrusoft here, as well as change the duration of the Day Cycle. The Scrap Trade becomes accessible after all eight Utilibots are built, and will exchange Scrap for Moolah at a 1:1 ratio.

Recyclotron

The Recyclotron is located on the right wall of the Chibi-House. It is controlled by the Chibi-PC to recycle Scrap into Utilibots. It costs 300 Scrap to build a Utilibot.

Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol

 
The Chibi-House included with the Blooming Chibi-Robo model.

To celebrate the success of the first generation Chibi-Robo, Citrusoft manufactured and distributed Blooming Chibi-Robos to parks around the world free of charge as part of the company's commitment to a cleaner environment. The Chibi-House included with the Blooming Chibi-Robo model has an interior equipped with Watt Reserve batteries, an Outlet, a Flower Counter, a Chibi-PC, Chet, the Blooming Chibi-Robo's manager, and a Reader. There is a siren light on the right side of the Flower Counter, which activates if Smoglings or Smoglobs are in the Smogling Forecast for the day. The exterior features a handle for easy carrying, and 'eyes' on either side of the door, which folds down into stairs for Chibi-Robo to enter. In Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol, a Chibi-House is located at the entrance of the Park, next to a street in the Town.

Watt Reserves

Main article: Watt

Located left of the Outlet on the left wall, the Watt Reserves are batteries plugged into a Happy Point Converter above the Flower Counter via a pink tube. As the Blooming Chibi-Robo collects Happy Points, Chet has the ability to convert them into Watts, which are then stored in the Watt Reserves. Each battery can hold 1,000 Watts, and the Watt Reserves can hold a maximum of 99,999 Watts.

Outlet

Main article: Outlet

Located left of the Chibi-PC, this Outlet allows the Blooming Chibi-Robo to recharge their Watts, update the Flower Counter, and convert any collected Happy Points into Watts for the Watt Reserves with Chet. This is the only Outlet in Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol that allows the player to save the game.

Chet

Main article: Chet

Chet is the manager model for Blooming Chibi-Robos, and is built into the Chibi-House, unlike any other managers. He is attached to the Happy Point Converter above the Flower Counter, and is able to convert any Happy Points the Blooming Chibi-Robo has collected into Watts to be stored in the Watt Reserves.

Flower Counter

The Flower Counter is located above the Chibi-PC, and displays how many Flowers are currently blooming in the Park the Chibi-House is deployed at. It is updated when the Blooming Chibi-Robo plugs into the Outlet, and at the beginning of each day.

Chibi-PC

Main article: Chibi-PC#Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol

The Chibi-PC is located on the back wall of the Chibi-House and is operated using a Control Panel that resembles a Nintendo Famicom controller. The Chibi-PC allows Blooming Chibi-Robos to access Park Projects to revitalize the Park, the Chibi-Gear Shop to purchase Chibi-Gear made by Citrusoft, check the day's weather Forecast, as well as check the sticker collection. This Chibi-PC can occasionally malfunction, causing the Control Panel to break. When this happens, the Chibi-PC will be inoperable until a replacement Control Panel is installed.

Reader

Main article: Cartridge

The Reader is located on the right wall, plugged into the Chibi-PC via a blue tube. The Reader is used to read Cartridges that are included with Blooming Chibi-Robos, downloading the data into the Chibi-PC. The Reader's appearance resembles a Nintendo Famicom, and each Cartridge resembles differently colored Famicom cartridges. Once the data from the Cartridges has been downloaded to the Chibi-PC, the corresponding Park Project will be unlocked.
