Story

You first find Ketchup tending to a tomato garden in the Backyard. His music is meant to help them grow and turn red, but for some reason he can't make it work anymore. He says he needs the legendary fork guitar to solve his woes and make the tomatoes grow red and juicy again so the family can enjoy eating them.

After talking to him and receiving the costume, Ketchup will leave and go to Keith's room to begin his quest. When Ketchup is in Keith's room, you can talk to him to unlock the ability to sell the tomatoes grown in the backyard. After not finding anything useful in Keith's room, he will go to the hallway and then the kitchen in search of the fork guitar. However, Ketchup will not go to the kitchen until you advance Acappella's storyline.

At night when Acappella and Ketchup are both in the kitchen, they will have a conversation that leads to the next part of each of their storylines. Ketchup will point out the fork guitar up on a shelf, which Chibi-Robo can reach by using the Telly pad on the metal chair in the lower right area of the kitchen. However, when you give Ketchup the fork guitar, he will have already realized that it was not the guitar that cased him to fail, it was the fact that he didn't put his soul into his music playing. He then returns to the backyard.

The next time you talk to him in the Backyard, Ketchup will invite you to do a jam session with him. Doing the jam session minigame will make the garden tomatoes turn red. You can do the minigame with Ketchup anytime you like after that.
