Plug Into Adventure!'', is a platform-adventure video game for the Nintendo GameCube developed by skip Ltd. and published by Nintendo. The game was first released in Japan in 2005, and then released in North America and Europe the following year. Originally conceived as a point-and-click adventure game, it was put on developmental hold until Nintendo producer Shigeru Miyamoto gained interest in the title and overhauled its production. The player takes on the role of the eponymous character, Chibi-Robo, a 10-centimeter-tall robot owned by the Sanderson family. Gameplay revolves around navigating a household and collecting "Happy Points". These points are accumulated by completing various tasks from housework to helping solve the dilemmas of the Sanderson family and the numerous living toys that inhabit their household. Every action by the game's battery-powered protagonist consumes energy, requiring the player to recharge using the home's electrical outlets. ''Chibi-Robo!'' was generally well received by critics, with praise directed towards the premise, charming storyline, and sound design. However, some gameplay mechanics and the quality of the graphics drew some criticism. Sales of ''Chibi-Robo!'' were modest, but it did spawn several sequels. For the Nintendo DS, ''Chibi-Robo!: Park Patrol'' was released in 2007 and ''Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji!'' was released in 2009, the latter being a Japan-exclusive. For the Nintendo 3DS, ''Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder'' was released in Japan in 2013 and in North America in 2014, and ''Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash'' was released in 2015. The original ''Chibi-Robo!'' also saw a Japanese re-release in 2009 for the Wii as part of the New Play Control! series. ==Plot== The plot of ''Chibi-Robo!'' takes place in a 1960s-style American home and revolves around a tiny, highly advanced robot of the same name. He is given as a birthday gift to a socially withdrawn eight-year-old named Jenny Sanderson by her father. This is much to the dismay of Jenny's mother, a homemaker who is constantly stressed over how much money her husband spends on toys despite his unemployment. Chibi-Robo is packaged with a small "Chibi-House" and an assistant named Telly Vision, who speaks on Chibi-Robo's behalf. Each of the one million Chibi-Robos in the world is supposed to collect "Happy Points" by doing good deeds for their owners, and must occasionally charge their batteries at electrical outlets.〔 During the night or when humans are not around in the Sandersons' house, several toys come to life.〔 This cast includes the superhero action figure Drake Redcrest, a group of egg-shaped army men called the Free Rangers, a wooden pirate named Plankbeard, and others.〔〔 Chibi-Robo eventually finds a large robot in the basement called Giga-Robo, who was once a companion of the Sandersons', but had to be deactivated due to its high electricity consumption.〔 Chibi-Robo attempts to bring Giga-Robo back to life by fully charging its massive battery and makes it a goal to find Giga-Robo's missing leg. At this time, Chibi-Robo is attacked by spider-like robots called Spydorz. When Mr. Sanderson purchases yet another toy, his wife locks herself in her room and tells him that she wants a divorce, prompting the rest of the family to do the housework. Meanwhile, Chibi-Robo finds a strange pattern in the backyard and uses his radar to contact an alien species. Once the aliens land and greet him, Chibi-Robo uses a time machine made by the visitors to go into the past to find a code to a safe in the master bedroom containing Giga Robo's leg. He returns to the present to open the safe, but several larger Spydorz are also released from it and capture the Sandersons. It is revealed that Mr. Sanderson originally created the Spydorz to be friends with the Chibi-Robos, but his toy company reprogrammed them to be hostile, causing Mr. Sanderson to quit his job. Mr. Sanderson upgrades Chibi-Robo's blaster weapon, allowing the small robot to defeat the Queen Spydor, recover Giga-Robo's missing leg, and rescue the Sandersons. Chibi-Robo reactivates Giga-Robo, and the aliens meet them in the backyard. The aliens explain that the toys are able to walk and talk due to a request from Giga-Robo to the aliens to give them life, and to give all Giga-Robos infinite battery power to prevent their energy consumption. The aliens could not do the latter at the time, and returned to their own planet to obtain the item necessary to grant Giga-Robo's wish. They then give Giga-Robo this ability, who shares it with Chibi-Robo and the rest of the robots in the world as well, eliminating the energy problem. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chibi-Robo!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
