Context Characters / ChibiRobo

Go To

1! Chibi-Robo
2The titular tiny and hard-working robots. Each game stars a different Chibi-Robo.
3-----
4%%* ArmCannon: The Chibi-Blaster.
5* BadassAdorable: While some Chibi-Robos get to display their badassery more than others (The ''Zip Lash'' Chibi-Robo in particular), there's no denying that these little guys pack some serious punch.
6%%* CuteMachines: They're not called ''[[MeaningfulName Chibi]]''-Robos for nothing.
7* CuteMute: Chibi-Robos apparently don't come with a voice chip, as the only way they can communicate is through a green exclamation point sign and red no sign that pops out of their heads.
8* GreenThumb: The Blooming Chibi-Robo model from Park Patrol was built to plant flowers.
9* IdenticalStranger: {{Justified|Trope}}. Since they're all mass-produced, none of the Chibi-Robos that star in different games is the same one, with the Sanderson's Chibi-Robo of the first game and the one in ''Park Patrol'' being two different models.
10* LegacyCharacter: Each Chibi-Robo that stars in the succeeding games is the successor model. In fact, the one that was purchased by an adult Jenny in ''Clean Sweep'' also serves as a ReplacementGoldfish for the Chibi-Robo she knew as a child.
11* PowerCordTail: Chibi-Robos have an electrical plug tail they have to carry and plug into outlets to keep themselves charged.
12* RobotMaid: ''Much'' smaller than most examples, but still able to get the job done.
13* SilentSnarker: Particularly in ''Park Patrol'' and ''Clean Sweep'', he gets plenty of snark across just with an unamused, narrow-eyed stare.
14* TheStoic: He rarely shows any emotion, not even when in danger. However, he will sometimes squint when angry or skeptical of something, and he does a little fist-pump when he gets one of Geotron X's questions right in Photo Finder.
15* TalkToTheFist: Not really a fist, but when [[spoiler:the Queen Spydor has the family captured, the living room flipped upside down, and he and Telly cornered]], his response is to bring out the Chibi-Blaster and aim the business end right at her.
16* TalkingWithSigns: He speaks with "yes" and "no" signs. Generally, [[CuteMute he's mute.]]
17* TheVoiceless: He only talks through green and red signs as "yes" or "no". Photo Finder has a few dialogue trees that Chibi-Robo answers on his own, however.
18
19! Telly Vision
20Chibi-Robo’s often nervous partner.
21-----
22* CasanovaWannabe: In the first game, he claims that the girls are all over him and is convinced at a couple points that Mrs. Sanderson and Jenny are attracted to him.
23%%* CuteMachines: As cute as the 'bot he accompanies.
24%%* CowardlySidekick: He's quite chickenboned on occasion.
25* ExpositionFairy: Explains game mechanics and clarifies goals.
26* LegacyCharacter: Just like with Chibi-Robo, but each Telly Vision is a different model in appearance.
27* MentorArchetype: While he was activated at the same time as Chibi-Robo was, he is his guide and mentor and knows more about their stuff than he does.
28%%* PunnyName: Just read his name out loud.
29* RobotBuddy: Built to serve as a helper to Chibi.
30
31[[folder:Characters in the original game]]
32! Mr. Sanderson
33The scatterbrained and lazy but ultimately loving father of the family.
34-----
35* BumblingDad: He means well and clearly cares about his wife and daughter, but is too lazy, immature, and short-sighted to be a particularly ''good'' husband or dad.
36* BunnyEarsLawyer: Toy-loving slacker that he is, he's still shown to be extremely skilled with machines on numerous occasions.
37* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler: When the Spydorz invade, he goes from being a lazy dope to a highly-competent leader astoundingly quickly. [[PapaWolf His family being in danger no doubt helps this.]]]]
38* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:While arguably ethical of him to quit his former job, Mr. Sanderson doesn't seem to plan ahead on how he'll be gaining income for his family afterward and has been spending a lot of days as a LazyBum who spends constantly on his hobbies. Unsurprisingly, this led to his marriage being strained by the time of the first game.]]
39* EveryoneHasStandards: Near the end of the game, he admits that [[spoiler: he invented the Spydorz to be Chibi-Robo's friends, but the company he worked for (Macroware Robotics Inc.) reprogrammed them to be hostile. In response, he quit his job but told his wife he was fired out of shame.]]
40* GadgeteerGenius: He used to work as an engineer. [[spoiler:He invented the Spydorz, and he shows he's still got it when he upgrades Chibi's blaster for a boss fight with the Queen Spydor.]] ''Clean Sweep'' reveals that he also invented the machine that converts garbage (and ghosts, for some reason) into Watts.
41%%* TheGhost: [[spoiler:He gets mentioned by Jenny in ''Clean Sweep''.]]
42* LargeHam: As demonstrated by his SkywardScream the first time he sees Chibi in action. He's pretty exuberant.
43* LazyBum: Unemployed, he spends most of his time watching cartoons, reading comic books, and snacking with little to no taking care of the house or looking for work. [[spoiler:He starts to shape up a little when Mrs. Sanderson announces she's considering getting a divorce, taking on some chores and trying to cook for the rest of the house.]]
44* ManChild: Excitable and a big fan of toys and cartoons. His habit of blowing money on his hobbies despite being unemployed has put a strain on his marriage.
45* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Once he finally gets it through his head how much his wife is fed up with him, Mr. Sanderson is horrified and begins taking steps to fix everything.
46* NoFullNameGiven: He's only referred to as "Papa" and "Mr. Sanderson" in-game. The Japan-only "Sophie's Blog" revealed that his first name is George.
47* UglyGuyHotWife: An underdressed slob with scruffy hair and a fluffy mustache, married to the well-kept and pretty Mrs. Sanderson.
48
49! Mrs. Sanderson
50The well-meaning, but stern and incredibly high-strung mother of the family.
51-----
52* HouseWife: She's a homemaker who indulges in "homey" downtime activities like sewing and taking tea.
53* JerkassToOne: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Chibi-Robo is pretty much the only one she's kind to throughout the game, since he's the only one who consistently maintains the household, compared to her shaky relationship with her family. Even confiding with him about her personal issues and trusting him to uncover things that her husband tends to hide from her.
54* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After her outburst and locking herself in her room, Mrs. Sanderson will comment to Chibi-Robo that she is also angry at herself; admitting her incredibly strict and cold nature did not help her family issues at all. As the game continues, her desire for divorce becomes less out of frustration with her family and more her feeling she failed them.
55%%* NeatFreak: In contrast to her sloppy husband.
56* NoFullNameGiven: She's only referred to as "Mama" or "Mrs. Sanderson" in-game. The Japan-only "Sophie's Blog" revealed that her first name is Helen.
57* OnlySaneMan: She's level-headed and frank, and, by the time the game starts, a bit tired of the wackiness of the rest of her household.
58* ParentalNeglect: She tends to be this towards Jenny at times, especially when she starts to hole herself up in the bedroom. But nonetheless, does care and worry about her.
59* RageBreakingPoint: She's under a great deal of stress trying to keep the household afloat financially. The final straw is when Chibi-Robo uncovers a toy receipt that Mr. Sanderson hid after claiming he had given them all to her. In response, she locks herself in her room and makes it clear that she's considering divorce.
60* UglyGuyHotWife: Pretty, made-up, classily-dressed, and married to the scruffy and [[{{Gonk}} goofy-looking]] Mr. Sanderson.
61
62! Jenny Sanderson
63The adorable though an incredibly eccentric daughter of the Sandersons.
64-----
65* CloudCuckoolander: Wears a frog hat, speaks in ribbits, and claims (through Sunshine) that an "evil frog wizard" cursed her to behave like a frog. It's all just child's play, though, and when she returns as an adult in ''Clean Sweep'' she's (relatively) normal.
66* CreepyChild: While relatively harmless, Jenny does display behavior that is strange for her age. In fact, on some nights after Mrs. Sanderson locks herself in her room, Jenny can be found in her room staring at her toy TV, ''which is displaying a bizarre symbol''. The toys don't even bother pretending not to be alive while she's doing this.
67* HeroicBSOD: After Mrs. Sandeerson locks herself in her room, Jenny can be found near her door at night with a sad frown.
68* LikeFatherLikeSon: In ''Clean Sweep'', she's also having financial troubles as an adult. But her household is in a worse state due to being a single mother.
69** She shares similar eccentric mannerisms with her father as a child, and can also be smart at times.
70** As an adult, Jenny's issues with Karl's "boring jokes" are very similar to her mother's marital struggles of dealing with her father's LazyBum tendencies. The only difference is that Jenny and Karl weren't married when they had Keith, along with Karl dying in an unknown accident.
71* SheIsAllGrownUp: She reappears in ''Big Rich Happy Sweep" as a middle-aged woman, but time has been quite generous with Jenny.
72* TheUnintelligible: Unless Chibi-Robo is wearing the frog suit, she only speaks in "ribbit"s.
73* {{Troll}}: When the family is [[spoiler: trapped by the Spydorz]] in the living room near the end of the game, talking to Jenny while wearing the frog suit has her say that she needs to whisper since her mom is there, hinting that the whole frog thing is just something she does to annoy her parents.
74* YouRemindMeOfX: [[spoiler:In ''Clean Sweep'', she tells Chibi-Robo that the other reason why she purchases him is to relive her childhood. Meaning that she's still fond of the Chibi-Robo from the first game and treats the current one as a ReplacementGoldfish.]]
75
76! Tao
77The family dog who is feared by many the toys.
78-----
79* BigFriendlyDog: Aside from what he did to Memphis, he's a nice dog. [[spoiler:And even then, Memphis is willing to forgive him.]]
80* LegacyCharacter: Tao originally appeared as a pet dog in ''VideoGame/MoonRemixRPGAdventure'', which was created by much of the same team which would go on to become Skip Ltd. Tao also appears in the Skip Ltd. games ''Giftpia'' and ''VideoGame/CaptainRainbow''.
81* TalkingAnimal: If you're wearing the Tao suit, he'll speak plain English.
82
83! Space Hunter Drake Redcrest
84An action figure who is having an existential crisis.
85-----
86%%* CoolHelmet: ''[[Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman Gatchaman]]''-style!
87%%* {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman Gatchaman]] and [[Franchise/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]].
88%%* LanternJawOfJustice: Only in the American version of the original, however.
89* LargeHam: It's even said in the Space Hunter code that Space Hunters must greet everyone by yelling.
90%%* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx-0pIVXEEo "Go! Space Hunter Drake Redcrest!"]]
91* MilesGloriosus: He's confident, dramatic, and boastful, but [[spoiler:the one time we see him "in action" - up against a rampaging Sunshine - he's taken out by a child's teddy bear]].
92* TheBusCameBack: Reappears in ''Photo Finder'' as the host of a shooting gallery minigame [[spoiler:And in ''Zip-Lash'' as one of the toys requesting snacks.]]
93
94! Sophie
95A caterpillar doll who has a crush on Drake.
96-----
97* CharacterBlog: Sophie had her own promotional blog published in Japan from 2005 to 2007. It included posts about the events of the game from Sophie's point of view, [[WhereAreTheyNow updates on characters]] after the game's ending, and even excerpts from Mrs. Sanderson's college diary.
98%%* GagLips: Her face is mostly lips and eyes.
99%%* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAN2mgcqCm4 "A Maiden's Thoughts"]].
100* {{Love Letter}}: She writes one for Drake Redcrest. If the player finds it, they can either choose to give it to Drake or give it back to Sophie.
101* StalkerWithACrush: She spends most of her nights following Drake Redcrest, hoping she can work up the courage to confess her crush to him. [[spoiler:When she finally gives him a love letter in the conclusion of her subplot, she passes out (temporarily) dead from excitement, and her ghost will follow Drake around until she's revived.]]
102* ThirdPersonPerson: Sophie refers to herself this way in her blog.
103
104! The Free Rangers
105A bunch of egg-shaped toy soldiers who hold a grudge against Tao.
106-----
107* AscendedExtra: Tampa is just one of the soldiers in the crowd during the first game, but in ''Park Patrol'' he's the only Free Ranger to appear.
108%%* BadassBoast: "You're Free Rangers! You're hard-boiled!"
109* TheBusCameBack: A single Free Ranger (specifically, Tampa) reappears in Park Patrol. Sarge and two other Free Rangers also reappear in Clean Sweep.
110%%* DrillSergeantNasty: Sarge, though he means well.
111%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Again, Sarge.
112* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I76cOsLZ9c "Once Again It's the Drill Sergeant For Us Today"]].
113* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:When the news broke out some of his soldiers left the army due to his rigorous training he invoked, he considers himself not worthy as a leader.]]
114* PunnyName: The group's name is a play on "free-range eggs," or eggs laid by chickens that are allowed to roam free.
115* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:Some of the rangers later ditch the army and get new jobs.]]
116* ThemeNaming: Except for Sarge, all of them are named after American cities.
117* UndyingLoyalty: Attitude and harshness aside, Sarge ''truly'' cares for his soldiers, [[spoiler:as the loss of Memphis to Tao motivates him to train hard to rescue him]]. This goes the other way too with his soldiers. [[spoiler:Particularly, the soldiers who previously abandoned the army in favor of their new hobby's and jobs [[BigDamnHeroes all show up during the confrontation with Tao]] to help out.]]
118
119! Captain Plankbeard
120A wooden pirate toy who is still in mourning over an old friend.
121-----
122* CaptainColorbeard
123* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is really attached to Giga-Robo and worships him wholeheartedly. [[spoiler: Understandably, since he is the one who made all the toys alive in the first place.]]
124* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: [[spoiler: He couldn't bring himself to steal from the Sandersons when he saw how poor they had become, so he renounced his piracy.]] [[spoiler: Averted later when he learns that the Sandersons have recovered financially.]]
125
126! The Great Peekoe
127A shady Arabian themed toy.
128-----
129* ConMan: He claims to be a guru and has people gamble in an obviously-rigged game against him as a "cleansing ritual".
130* ScamReligion: He claims that people's souls are cleaned when they get rid of their Moolah, but he really is just saying this because he wants money for himself.
131
132! Sunshine
133Jenny’s teddy bear and one of the more reasonable toys… Unless he is without nectar.
134-----
135* FantasticDrug: He has a heroin-esque addiction to flower nectar.
136* HiddenDepths: When he's not craving nectar, he proves to be wiser and more mature than most of the other toys.
137* {{Leitmotif}}: Sunshine has two: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xi8yw5jpx "So dododo"]] for his regular personality, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB8HVnK-4n4 "Honeyholic"]] for his crazy personality.
138* MoodSwinger: Can go from sweet and cute, to crazy and violent if he doesn't get his nectar.
139* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After Mort..."scares him off", he can be seen sulking in the corner of Jenny's room, thinking about overcoming his addiction.
140* NightmareFace: When he's having a craving, his face changes from a cute, button-eyed teddy bear face to a red-eyed roaring face.
141* NoIndoorVoice: When in "withdrawal mode," he's almost always shouting. His [[SpeakingSimlish Simlish]] even changes from a "baby talk" voice to a "shouting middle-aged Japanese man" voice.
142* TrademarkFavoriteFood: NECTAR!
143
144! Dinah
145An older toy that is a t-rex made of lego-like blocks.
146-----
147* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She has a major thing for Funky Phil. [[spoiler:Nothing ever comes of it, apart from it presumably contributing to her temporary HeroicBSOD over Phil's "death".]]
148%%* BuiltWithLEGO: [[spoiler:Comes into practical play near the resolution of her and Funky Phil's subplot.]]
149* CannotTellAJoke: She fancies herself funny. However, most attempts by her to joke are to [[DontExplainTheJoke oversell]] {{Pun}}s.
150* CoolOldLady: Friendly, supportive, and spunky, if a little high-strung. You wouldn't guess she was an old lady if she didn't refer to herself as such.
151* DeepSouth: Has a Southern accent and a penchant for Southern- and Wild West-themed metaphors and similes.
152%%* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jcOfVuPAcA "I'ma Gonna Do Somethin'"]]
153%%* MotorMouth: Not a ''fast'' talker, but a verbose, rambling one.
154* SentientVehicle: [[spoiler:After she jumps from the loft in her subplot, she's temporarily rebuilt into a truck by Mr. Sanderson.]]
155
156! Funky Phil
157A disco loving flower toy.
158-----
159%%* DiscoDan: ''All'' about disco dancing.
160* IntergenerationalFriendship: According to [[CoolOldLady Dinah]], he's on the young side. Her romantic feelings for him aside, they talk like long-standing mutual friends.
161* Keet: Chatty, outgoing, and high-spirited. The only time you see his groove thrown off is when he's flustered on being introduced to his first batch of kids.
162%%* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTLyJrxs5HI "Funkmaster Flower Train"]].
163
164! The Phillies
165Funky Phil’s six flower children.
166-----
167* TheKlutz: As a dancer, Freaky Phil is apparently not all that well-coordinated with the rest of his family. And let's just say [[spoiler:an instance of him tripping and falling leads to one epic misunderstanding.]]
168* LukeYouAreMyFather: When you first bring them over to Phil, he has no idea where the heck they came from and persistently denies being their "pappy". They keep calling him that nevertheless... and he bites the bullet, takes them under his wing, and quickly takes a shine to them anyway.
169* TheRuntAtTheEnd: They're all identical with their dad's pink and yellow color scheme... except for the last one of them to sprout, the clumsy, unintelligible, red-and-green [[OddNameOut Freaky Phil]].
170* TheUnintelligible: Freaky Phil's dialogue is written almost entirely as "gebahbah" noises and accompanied by a harsh, sharp-yet-fuzzy VoiceGrunting noise.
171
172! Mort
173A hulking mummy doll with a heart of gold.
174-----
175* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:After his subplot with Pitts is completed, if you visit the couple, you'll find they've gotten married and had two kids.]]
176* FaceOfAThug: He's a sweet if glum guy, and laments that his ugly appearance scares people away from him.
177%%* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cVWMOjzG6Q "Timid Love".]]
178* {{Mummy}}: An action figure memento from a film about a mummy that the Sandersons saw on their first date, apparently.
179%%* NiceGuy: Soft-spoken, well-meaning, and gentle.
180* UglyGuyHotWife: You never expected a pretty princess to be attracted to an ugly mummy.
181
182! Princess Pitts
183A gorgeous princess doll and the target of Mort’s affections.
184-----
185* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:She marries and has two kids with Mort after their subplot is resolved.]]
186* {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Princess Peach]]. This also makes her name a {{Pun}}. [[FridgeBrilliance What are inside peaches?]]
187* UglyGuyHotWife: You never expected [[spoiler:a pretty princess to be attracted to an ugly mummy.]]
188
189%%! Fred and Frieda
190%%------
191
192! The Bluebird
193A mean-spirited bird.
194------
195%%* JerkAss: Irritable and... feisty, to say the least.
196* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Their first miniature "quest" has Chibi wake them up from a nap . You can do so by spraying them with water ...or alternatively, shoot them with a Chibi-Blaster, to which they respond in kind with a [[ToiletHumor "gift"]].
197
198%%! Mr. Prongs
199%%------
200
201! Kid Eggplant
202------
203* ShoutOut: A dead ringer for the Eggplant Man enemies from ''VideoGame/WreckingCrew''.
204
205! Giga-Robo
206Chibi-Robo’s predecessor, he is also a household helper and gave the toys their life. Unfortunately the Giga-Robob line used so much power they caused an energy crisis, this Giga-Robo was no exception and now lies in the Sanderson basement lifeless.
207-----
208* BigGood: Remembered fondly by all of the household toys, and is a central figure in the game's main plot.
209* GentleGiant: Every bit as helpful as his smaller counterpart.
210* PosthumousCharacter: Due to the energy crisis his kind caused by his costly battery, his kind fell out of use. By the time you find him, he's in the corner of the basement left in a state of disrepair. He's dinged up in a few places, his left leg is missing, and his battery is completely drained. [[spoiler:That is, until Chibi-Robo is able to revive him.]]
211* SuperStrength: Based on his [[spoiler:past arm-wrestling interaction with Mr. Sanders (and winning, if the cries of pain of the latter are any indication) and the fact he caught a small UFO that was burning up in re-entry with the end result being left dinged up but generally functional,]] it's implied that Giga-Robo (and by extension, his own kind) are ''incredibly'' strong and durable.
212* TragicRobot: He was beloved by both the Sandersons and the household toys, but was forced to stay in the basement when it became too expensive to keep him charged. To this day, everyone who remembers Giga-Robo misses him dearly.
213* TheVoiceless: Like Chibi-Robo, he can't speak.
214
215! Titan, Io, Ganymede, and Little Bang
216Four friendly aliens who are friends of Giga-Robo.
217------
218* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: [[spoiler: After giving Giga and Chibi-Robo infinite power, the aliens depart. As each one reenters the UFO, they turn into a black squid-like creature, suggesting that this is their true appearance.]]
219* AliensSpeakingEnglish: Their language is regular English, just spoken ''very'' quietly.
220* BizarreAlienBiology: They all look like squashed and stretched-out versions of Chibi-Robo. [[spoiler: It is hinted that they really look like little black squid-like creatures.]]
221* HeroicBSOD: After seeing the deactivated Giga-Robo, the aliens become sick to the point where they can't move.
222* InnocentAliens: [[spoiler:It takes them a little while to come to terms with the fact that Giga-Robo is "dead".]]
223* OddNameOut: While the first three are named after various moons found in the solar system, Little Bang is a play on the Big Bang.
224[[/folder]]
225
226[[folder:Characters in Park Patrol]]
227! Chet
228-----
229* ExpositionFairy: Serves the voice that guides Chibi and discusses certain story events.
230* DidntThinkThisThrough: Aside from Mission Control, he's also supposed to provide construction services to rebuild and renovate the park. Problem is, ''Somebody'' who developed the Blooming Chibi-house clearly didn't take into consideration that the way Chet is build into the inside means he is unable to perform his outdoor service at all. Mercifully for both Chibi and Chet, that's where the Toys come in.
231* GenkiGuy: He sometimes gets so enthusiastic about helping Chibi-Robo that he worries he'll short-circuit.
232* MissionControl: He communicates with Chibi-Robo via a satellite dish, alerting him when something important has happened in the park.
233
234! Smoglings
235The main (and only) enemies in ''Park Patrol''. They appear in the park every day and turn any flowers they dance near into black ones that wilt when the day ends. Chibi-Robo can dispatch them by continuously spraying them with water or running over them with a vehicle. Eventually, larger variants called "Smogglobs" are introduced, which turn flowers black just by touching them and can perform smoke attacks that turn flowers into grey Miasmo Flowers.
236-----
237* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Once the main story is cleared, all Smoglings and Smogglobs become pink and turn flowers into Rainbow Flowers rather than black and grey ones.]]
238* MonsterClown: All Smoglings have faces that resemble clown or mime makeup, just like Miasmo.
239* TurnsRed: If you get too close to a Smogling, there's a chance it'll turn red and begin chasing Chibi-Robo. In this form, it's impervious to water, so the only strategy is to run away.
240
241! Sergeant Smogglor [[spoiler: AKA General Greenthumb]]
242TheDragon who serves Miasmo, summoning his minions to hamper Chibi's flower cultivation and keeping any source of danger to Miasmo in check. [[spoiler:He is also in actuality the toy of the GreenAesop {{Superhero}}, General Greenthumb.]]
243-----
244* AlliterativeName: Sergeant Smogglor. [[spoiler:His original persona has this too: General Greenthumb.]]
245* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: General Greenthumb, upon confronting Miasmo was promptly corrupted by his influence, turning his normally bright color scheme into the black and white Sergeant Smogglor.]]
246%%* TheDragon: To Miasmo.
247* EnergyWeapon: His "ZAPPOW" attack, which can sap the life out of living toys. Fortunately, it has no effect on Chibi-Robo. [[spoiler:Except when Miasmo upgrades him to give him the power to zap Chibi-Robo. While it doesn't sap the life out of them, it does result in them ejecting all of their valued tools across the park.]]
248* EvilLaugh: One where he wheezes and coughs, which he {{Lampshade|Hanging}}s at one point.
249-->'''Sergeant Smogglor:''' ...Evil laughter taxes my breathing.
250* GoodCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler: When he returns to his "General Greenthumb" persona, he loses the black-and-white coloring in favor of bright shades of blue and green.]]
251* SuperZeroes: [[spoiler:General Greenthumb wasn't seen in the best light as a superhero, being considered "lame" by the kid who used to own him, preferring the {{The Bad Guy Win|s}}ning over him, and was promptly thrown away and abandoned by said kid.]]
252
253! Miasmo
254-----
255* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: Gives a speech akin to this after being defeated. And he's apparently stayed true to his word, seeing as his Smoglings can still be found terrorizing various gardens in ''Clean Sweep'' and ''Photo Finder''.
256%%* BigBad: Of ''Park Patrol''.
257* FogOfDoom: His entire body is ''made'' of fog.
258* GigglingVillain: His only voice clip is a wheezy high-pitched cackle.
259* MonsterClown: His face resembles warped clown makeup.
260* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Eventually abandons Sergeant Smogglor in the park, calling him "trash".
261
262! Francois
263-----
264* ArmorPiercingQuestion: [[spoiler:"Do you act on your own will? Or is it the strings that control the show? How terrible it must be..."]] What he was asked that results in him traveling the world, he even asks Chibi this at one point.
265%%* GratuitousFrench: "Bonjour, tres bien, et merci!"
266* IJustWantToBeFree: From the strings that are attached to him. [[spoiler:Ever since the day he was asked about whether or not the strings controlled him at all times, he's been traveling the world for a hundred years in search for the solution.]]
267%%* MauriceChevalierAccent
268%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Candy canes, most likely because of the cane he's holding.
269
270%%! Chassy
271%%-----
272%%* SentientVehicle
273
274! Kid Cool
275-----

277%%* CatchPhrase: "Yo, man!"
278%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Burgers, even though they're bigger than his entire body.
279
280! Pop and Fizz
281-----
282* PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure: By the second encounter with them, they get into a spat over their roles as Pop Fizz Soda, to the point Fizz leaves and Pop becomes a "solo artist". [[spoiler:It's by the third act does Pop realize how out of touch he is without Fizz.]]
283* ProductPlacement: In-universe example. They're mascots for Pop Fizz Soda, which is also their TrademarkFavoriteFood.
284%%* TotallyRadical
285* VerbalTic: They have a tendency to drop the words "pop," "bubbly," and "fizz" in their dialogue.
286
287! Bull
288-----
289%%* {{Catchphrase}}: "They haven't retired my number yet, you know!"
290* DeliberatelyMonochrome: By the time you meet him, he's entirely sepia, only being restored to full color when he's hyped up, either by seeing his football team score a touchdown, or ramming training dummies. [[spoiler:He explains this is result of being a forgotten, retired relic of a football mascot, who was thrown out by the kid who owned him after he got replaced by a rookie mascot.]]
291* FurryReminder: Tied to his theming as a Football player, he charges training dummies head-first like a bull. Except instead of a training dummy, it's Chibi-Robo.
292%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chewing gum.
293
294! Molly Mapleleaf
295-----
296%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Leaves.
297
298! Tampa
299-----
300* HiddenDepths: While he doesn't let it bother him, as it lets him fulfill his dream of being a construction worker, one conversation suggests he does still miss the rest of the Free Rangers. [[spoiler:When he meets with Pop by the end of the latter's character arc, he recounts the feeling of not knowing what you're missing till it's gone, just like what Pop's going through.]]
301%%* VerbalTic: Addresses Chibi-Robo with "Sir!".

305!Keith
306Jenny's eight-year-old son.
307-----
308* ChildrenAreInnocent: He believes that he can use the family savings tournament to revive his dad.
309* {{Fanboy}}: Of Habanero the luchador.
310* MommasBoy: Despite being a typical eight-year-old boy, he clearly cares about his mom. When Jenny starts locking herself in her room at night, Keith can be found outside her door; when he sees Chibi-Robo, he asks him to check on her.
311* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler: He has purple hair like his dad, Karl.]]
312
313%%!Lucky
314%%-----
315
316!Iberico
317A toy pig who patrols the living room as a policeman.
318-----
319* AnimalStereotypes: Iberico is gluttonous and has a strong nose. He even cannibalizes the remains of the ham under the sink, something pigs are also known for.
320* MeaningfulName: "Jamón ibérico" is a type of ham.
321* PolicePig: A toy one, but a pig cop nonetheless. While Iberico is well-meaning, he's incredibly trigger-happy, threatens to arrest people for little reason, and becomes cowardly when met with actual resistance.
322* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Drake Redcrest. He's the first toy you meet, he patrols the living room at night time, he briefly mistakes Chibi-Robo for an enemy, and he gives Chibi-Robo his first costume. They way he gives Chibi the costume is near-identical to Drake's: he offers to let Chibi-Robo "train" to be his sidekick, which involves performing the costume's action at exactly the right moment.
323* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: He likes to do one pretty much every time he comes to a running stop.
324
325!Acapella
326An toucan-shaped alarm clock who is unaware that she isn't a real bird.
327-----
328* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The real birds outside Jenny's window mock Acapella for her harsh voice and not being a real bird.
329* CatharticScream: Whenever Acapella is angry, she likes to yell into a hole in Jenny's paper wall or an open drawer.
330* CuteButCacophonic: She looks like a cute purple toucan, but her regular voice sounds like a monkey screeching. Justified, as she's an alarm clock.
331* DayDreamBeliever: She doesn't realize she's just a clock, and assumes her alarms are some sort of seizure.
332* HairTriggerTemper: Turns red and angry at the slightest provocation. Telly theorizes that, ultimately, being angry makes her happy.
333* NoIndoorVoice: Incredibly loud, as a result of being a toucan alarm clock. She tries to cure this problem with nectar, but [[spoiler: this makes it impossible for her alarm to wake Jenny. She eventually reverts to her old voice, accepting her role as a clock.]]
334* UptownGirl: Ketchup describes her as one, as she's from the "city" (inside the house) and he's a simple "country" (the backyard) gardener/musician.
335
336!Mesa
337A toy shark who likes causing mischief. Has beef with Habanero, and hates spicy food.
338-----
339* DamselInDistress: [[spoiler: Becomes trapped in the toilet when Keith decides to throw her away for being toothless.]]
340* TheGadfly: Enjoys scaring people and playing pranks, including offering Chibi-Robo a waterproof scuba outfit just before dropping it in the water where he can't reach.
341* IOweYouMyLife: Owes a debt to Habanero, [[DebtDetester much to Mesa's chagrin]].
342* SwallowedWhole: Mesa swallows Chibi-Robo, but can't chew him because his body is made of metal.
343* TheToothHurts: [[spoiler: In an attempt to save Habanero's mask from the drain, Mesa loses all of her teeth. They can be re-grown if Chibi-Robo uses the Tomato outfit to play music for her.]]
344* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Bright red tomatoes. Since Habanero's spicy tomatoes are visually identical, Mesa can be tricked into eating a tomato that's too hot for her to handle.
345* {{Tsundere}}: Denies that she likes Habanero at all, even when [[spoiler: she asks him to win the championship for her sake.]]
346
347!Habanero
348A toy based on Keith's favorite luchador.
349-----
350* CompanionCube: His mask, which he calls his "partner".
351* DistressedDude: [[spoiler: After saving Mesa from being stuck in the toilet, he becomes stuck in her place afterwards.]]
352* GratuitousFrench: Oddly for a luchador, one of his battle cries is "OUI!"
353* HurtFootHop: Habanero has a tendency to twist his ankle when landing from a jump, causing him to hop and yell.
354* LargeHam: Being an action figure of a ''[[LuchaUnderground luchador]]'', he loves hamming it up for the crowds.
355* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's around the same size as Chibi-Robo, and is also the one who teaches Chibi how to push books around with the Wrestler costume.
356%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Tomatoes. Specifically, [[{{Squick}} green ones]] covered in spicy sauce.
357* VocalDissonance: You wouldn't expect such a burly-looking luchador to have such a high-pitched voice.
358
359%%!Skullton
360%%-----
361%%* DemBones
362
363!Ketchup
364An anthropomorphic tomato doll Chibi-Robo meets in the backyard. He's a gardener who plays music to make tomatoes grow.
365-----
366* AllThatGlitters: He ventures into the "city" (inside the house) to find the Legendary Fork Guitar, hoping it will help him make music that makes his tomatoes red again. With Chibi-Robo's help, he finds it, but after overhearing Acapella say she's trying to be true to herself, Ketchup realizes that he was so focused on finding the guitar that he forgot to add heart to his music. Upon realizing this, he decides to return to playing his old guitar.
367* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Ketchup initially believes that finding the Legendary Fork Guitar will help him play music that turns his tomatoes red again, but when he hears Acapella say she's trying to be true to herself, he realizes that he was so focused on what he was playing on that he forgot to add feeling to his music. Sure enough, once Ketchup realizes this, his music starts working again.
368* LargeHam: One of his idle animations involves him playing his guitar while leaning so far backwards his head is touching the floor.
369* MagicMusic: It helps tomatoes grow!
370* MickeyMousing: In a sense. When Ketchup talks, he strums his guitar at the same time.
371
372!Karl
373Keith's father, who died in an accident a year after he was born.
374----
375* CommitmentIssues: Had trouble with the idea of getting married with Jenny, to the point where they had Keith long before he finally promised to marry her.
376* DisappearedDad: He's Jenny's boyfriend and Keith's father, who died a few years before the start of the game.
377* TheLostLenore: Jenny genuinely wanted to marry him and was deeply affected by his death. Because of this, she becomes uncomfortable when a coworker asks her out.
378%%* PosthumousCharacter
379* PungeonMaster: Was known for telling incredibly bad jokes. [[spoiler: When you meet him possessing a frog-shaped donation jar, he makes jokes about going back to ''ribbing'' life.]]
380* {{Sizeshifter}}: [[spoiler: When returned to the world of the living, he's only slightly larger than Chibi-Robo himself. However, when the moon comes out, he temporarily returns to his normal size.]]
381* UnfinishedBusiness: [[spoiler: Karl's last regret was not being able to marry Jenny like he promised.]]
