Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash (なげなわアクション!ぐるぐる!ちびロボ!, Lasso Action! Round and Round! Chibi Robo!) is a 2015 side-scrolling 2.5D platformer for the Nintendo 3DS and is the fifth installment of the Chibi-Robo! series.

Story

Earth’s natural resources are vanishing – could eye-witness sightings of tiny UFOs have something to do with it? Whatever the case, Chibi-Robo must return to Earth to prevent an international crisis and send those thieving aliens packing!

Gameplay

  • Climb, jump, run and throw your plug and cord
  • Whip enemies and ricochet your plug and cord off of walls to solve puzzles
  • Tons of collectibles
  • Tap the new Chibi-Robo Amiibo figure to power up Chibi-Robo into "Super Chibi-Robo" or use a Toy Capsule Machine to unlock the in-game Collectible Figures.

Bundle Version

This is a special bundle that comes with an Amiibo. This Amiibo will transform you into the infamous Super Chibi-Robo. As Super Chibi-Robo, players will move faster and have a greater range for their plug. Leveling up the Amiibo unlocks special characters.

The Amiibo can be purchased separately on Amazon.com.

Reception

The game's reception was largely negative, with many reviewers finding it generic and Chibi-Robo fans feeling that it did not represent the series well. A YouTube video criticising it entitled Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash | The Darkest Age of Nintendo received over 2.5 million views, resulting in many referential jokes online when discussing the game.
