History YMMV / ChibiRobo

** Not helping matters is that later Silhouette Film will require more obtuse rarer shapes forcing you to either draw if you're an artist or in Main/Irony use pictures online.

** Making Nostaljunk can be this despite being the main selling point of Photo Finder. The 3ds camera cannot detect light very well so in certain lit areas you could get a picture that's too bright or too dark. This is ob top of an Accuracy system which can be highly inconsistent and if the accuracy of a Nostaljunk is too low it could be destroyed ingame forcing you to save up happy points for more chances.

* TheWoobie: ''[[InUniverse Many.]]'' Then again, it is a DysfunctionJunction.

'''Luckily:''' Chibi-robo befriends some toys that are willing to help him and Chet with the park.\\

* TheWoobie: ''[[InUniverse Many.]]'' Then again, it is a DysfunctionJunction.

** The first installment and ''Clean Sweep'' work as an excellent ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' game, with toys that come alive when no humans are around, and deal with surprisingly serious and mature issues.

* {{Mondegreen}}: A lot of the {{s|peakingSimlish}}imlish said by Mr. Curater is up to interpretation.

** Outside of ''VideoGame/BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight'' and ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'', ''Zip Lash'' is the best ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' game we're going to get for a while.

** After Mrs. Sanderson locks herself in her room and threatens divorce, if you go to Jenny's bedroom at night, she'll be staring at her toy TV, which is showing a strange symbol, while mumbling "Circle. Middle. Radar?" Considering what's happening with her parents, it's not much of a stretch to think that Jenny is going through a HeroicBSOD. She's so focused on the TV, ''her toys don't even bother to stay still.''

'''Result:''' His wife finds out about it and almost divorces him.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Awww! What a cute little game about cleaning up messes, making people happy, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers helping people with their psychological issues, all while keeping a family from being torn apart by divorce]].

* SpiritualAdaptation: Outside of ''VideoGame/BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight'' and ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'', ''Zip Lash'' is the best ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' game we're going to get for a while.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Space Hunter Drake Redcrest, an Expy of [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]] who is as [[LargeHam hammy]] as [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Captain Falcon]]. This may be why he was in ''Photo Finder'' [[spoiler: and ''Zip Lash'']]

* SoOkayItsAverage: ''Zip Lash'' for some it's like a slow paced platformer like ''VideoGame/SuperPrincessPeach'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'', with {{Product Placement}}s from ''[[VideoGame/{{Pikmin}} Pikmin 2]]''. While not bad, is it not terribly exciting either, causing it to fall into this for some.

** A...''very'' strange tweet made by Nintendo of America in Janurary 2018, [[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/951144137352396800 which was simply a picture of Chibi Robo on fire]] and nothing else[[labelnote:*]] The picture itself is actually promo art for ''Zip Lash''.[[/labelnote]], went viral for the sheer inexplicable and random nature of it, as well as the {{troll}}ish nature. (At the time, Nintendo's fanbase was anxiously and vocally awaiting the next WebVideo/NintendoDirect.) Edits using this picture flew across the internet, often combining the burning Chibi with a picture of a Mii in a hot dog suit seen in [[https://twitter.com/NintendoNYC/status/951156733178798080 a similarly confusing tweet]] made by the Nintendo NY Store later that day, and other game developer accounts replied to the picture with one of their own characters engulfed in flames.

** ''Zip Lash'' has been the particular butt of memes starting in the late 2010s thanks in part to being a running gag in videos from Creator/ScottTheWoz, though those memes and references aren't exactly complimentary. ("[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFFREGXa_Gs This game blows!]]")

* ScrappyMechanic: In ''Zip Lash'' the next level you head to is determined by a spin of the wheel. It becomes annoying when you have a few stages left to complete, and if you land on one you've already done, you have to finish it again before you get another chance at the wheel. You can manipulate the wheel so that you can go where you want to more likely, but at that point a straight level select would have been better.

* NoExportForYou:''Park Patrol'' in Europe. The rest of the world likely won't see the third game with it being 2 years old and the DS being succeeded.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The game has some pretty [[EarWorm catchy]] music here and there. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I76cOsLZ9c&feature=related Free Rangers' Theme]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx-0pIVXEEo Drake Redcrest's Theme]] in particular.

* MemeticMutation: [[http://jasper-rolls.tumblr.com/post/131166899336 tfw you find a snack]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: [[InUniverse In the first game]], using the Chibi-Radar in the living room will turn up a "dig spot" in the carpet. Dig and a ''little fat blue man in a purple speedo with a spark plug for a head'' will pop out, and continuing to jab him with the spoon will cause him to dance in place and grow to five times his size before awarding you Happy Points and vanishing. "Mr. Prongs" doesn't do a thing in the main plot or come up at all in between any other times you might look for him again for the points.
** Also, just what the hell were those little portals in the wall? You open a "Chibi-Door," and you're suddenly in a tiny room with MushroomSamba background and music.
* BrokenBase: Initial previews for ''Zip Lash'' are generally positive, but there's a few who find the game unfun and/or generic.
* CultClassic

* HoYay: Between ''robots,'' no less. Telly is certainly, um... ''dedicated'' to Chibi.
** Chet too.

* ThatOneSidequest: The [[spoiler:Space Scrambler]] sticker is much more difficult to get than the others, even when you know what you have to do.

* SoOkayItsAverage: ''Zip Lash'' for some it's like a slow paced platformer like ''VideoGame/SuperPrincessPeach'' [[XMeetsY meets]] ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'', with {{Product Placement}}s from ''[[VideoGame/{{Pikmin}} Pikmin 2]]''. While not bad, is it not terribly exciting either, causing it to fall into this for some.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Does Mrs. Sanderson call Chibi-Robo "Cheebo" as an AffectionateNickname, showing that he's the only person in the household she still likes, or because she doesn't care to call him by his proper name and is only calling him what he thinks his name is?
