Good Friends
"Good Friends" are a mechanic explored in Chibi-Robo!: Plug Into Adventure , but more utilized in Chibi-Robo!: Park Patrol . This article focuses on its use in Chibi-Robo!: Park Patrol.
Obtaining "Good Friend" Status
Each Toy that exists in the City can become a Good Friend. This is triggered by using a Toy for Park Projects a certain number of times while having another Toy known to it. For example, Francois cannot become Chibi-Robo's "Good Friend" unless Molly Mapleleaf has been met, as it requires a cutscene where the two interact.
Effects
A Toy becoming Chibi's "Good Friend" increases the toy's skills (Lower pricing for Park Projects) and allows the toy to complete more Park Projects before running out of juice. In addition, each Good Friend you obtain allows the erection of a statue in their image, as a Park Project. Each statue attracts 10 extra visitors, but you can only have 1 up at a time.
