Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol, known in Japan as Sakasete! Chibi-Robo! (咲かせて!ちびロボ!?, lit. "Make It Bloom! Little-Robo!"), is a video game for the Nintendo DS developed by skip Ltd. and published by Nintendo. It is the sequel of the original Chibi-Robo! for the Nintendo GameCube.

Unlike the previous game, Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol takes place almost entirely outdoors, and puts the player in the role of the titular character Chibi-Robo, a four-inch-tall robot tasked with revitalizing a park. The player does so by growing seeds into flowers by watering them with a squirter, and then spreading more seeds by causing the flowers to dance using a tiny boombox. The player can also alter the terrain, build and repair various structures, visit the accompanying town, and defend the park from noxious Smoglings, bits of pollution which can kill flowers.

Though key elements from the first game are still intact in this game (such as losing watts by walking and performing actions), there are plenty of new features, such as the fact that the game takes place outdoors almost all of the time. There are many tools to use, with some returning from the first game, but most being new, such as the boom box and the clippers. There are also new modes of transportation called Chibi-Rides, which are vehicles like carts and bikes that you can ride in.

The game has two main areas: the park, and the town. The park is where you will spend most of your time in. You water buds with your squirter, and they grow very quickly into either white flowers or colored flowers. If they are white, use your boom box to make them change color and spread seeds. The boom box does not work on colored flowers. To use your boom box, select it in your inventory next to white flowers. A wheel will appear on the screen when you select it. Spin the wheel at a moderate pace to play a catchy tune. Do not spin it too fast or too slow. At the end of each tune, there is a rating that scores your pace from 0-100. if you get a rating below 70, nothing will happen. If you get a rating 70 and up, your flower will change into a different color and will spread seeds to the surrounding area. If you grow 30 flowers in one area, the area will turn from fertile soil into green spaces. In green spaces, you cannot plant anymore flowers in the area, unless you lose a flower in that area. Plants cannot grow in sand.
