Telly Vision acts cowardly through most of the game, an example is leaving Chibi-Robo damaged after first activating Giga-Robo. A running gag seen in the game is Telly Vision's dream of becoming a singer as making a cardboard tuxedo, making a micophone, practicing signing autographs, and even publishing his own record (his only known song is Teriyaki Blues) but before he ever gets the chance to sing Teriyaki Blues something happens to disrupt or hurt Telly in the process stoping his singing. After getting the Telly sticker and the Funky Phil sticker, you can choose Teriyaki Blues and Telly will sing the full version. Telly Vision developed a crush on Mrs. Sanderson when he read love letters from Sophie to Drake Redcrest, miskakingly thinking they were from her to him. Usualy after reading a letter, he would mention "giving her a flower." Later, by the Chibi House, He would request a flower from Chibi Robo. That night, he can be seen placing the flower on Mrs. Sanderson's pillow. Telly Vision can communicate with Chibi-Robo and Giga-Robo while humans can't (an exception is Chibi-Robo taking out a yes or no sign out of its head). Telly Vision also has his own sticker. To get it, you must sit on the mushroom in Jenny's room or the stub in the Foyer and listen to his 8 stories. There is a new story every day. After he tells you about him winning the robot idol show, you will be rewarded the Telly Vision sticker.
