S4E02: Chibi-Robo! -or- What It’s Like to be Mr. Butlertron: A Rope of Sand

Lawson from Super Wall Jump is here to create happiness by talking about Chibi-Robo! Plug into Adventure! (GameCube, 2005) as he joins Mike and Jaymo for the first GameCube game of The Old SwitchAroo’s epic quest to research and review every retro game in Nintendo Switch Online’s Nintendo Classics catalog!

In this episode, we talk about how Chibi-Robo evolved from a point-and-click game foiling robbers to the platforming chore-completing game that was released, dig into the pop culture references that Chibi-Robo seems to pull in, and Lawson introduces us to everyone’s favorite new “Smash Brothers”-based drinking game, Yoshi Roulette.

Thanks for listening, and a very special thanks to Kristal Fields of The Lazy Circles for our catchy theme song!
