Imagine you're a little robot dude who's only job is to clean and spread happiness. Now imagine you have to fix a messy divorce. And then help aliens. Robot aliens. Aliens who are sick because they're grieving over their bigger robot friend's death. Simple concepts.

Chibi Robo was definetly in that weird experimental time for Nintendo. We can abbreviate this era to the "G.A.M.E.C.U.B.E.". It has so many fun effects such as the music notes reacting to your footsteps, or the pace of the music.

It's very simple, but the small world gets deeper as you do everyone's stories. There's always an incentive in mind, whether through items or story. I think the time system is a bit flawed, and you have to wait a good while before you can maniplulate that.

That being said, this game is a very unusual game, but it hits all the right notes. Sometimes you just wanna be a little guy in a big world.
