This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do: There's leftover debug and test files in the shader folder known ds_debug.shbin and test00.shbin. There's a debug file the script folder known as debug.nb. There's a glitch you can do before the World 3 boss which brings up an invisible debug menu that can play its intro and defeated cutscenes. Look more into this.

Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash is the fifth entry in the series and its first 2D outing. Chibi-Robo must travel across the world to stop aliens from taking it over. The game features bizarre gameplay choices like a spin wheel to randomly select levels and forcing you to grind coins in order to fight the final boss without warning you beforehand. Also many, MANY shameless product placements.

This game is infamous for being so much of a failure that it killed the Chibi-Robo franchise as a whole. After years of other Chibi-Robo games struggling to see commercial success, Zip Lash was universally panned by critics and was one of the biggest commercial flops of any game published by Nintendo. Put simply, this game blows.

Dummy Tracks

In the stream folder, there's three tracks named DUMMY_HOK_STR, dummy_hzmt, and dummy2. They don't contain any music, so it's very likely they were used as placeholders.
