Sunshine (Japanese name: サンプー or "Sanpuu") is a toy in Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!. He is a stuffed bear that belongs to Jenny Sanderson, and is usually found in her room after a certain point in the game. He is addicted to Nectar, and goes on rampages if he doesn't get his nectar.
Appearance[]
Sunshine is a pink stuffed teddy bear, and stands at 31cm tall. He wears a light blue bow-tie around his neck. His face changes depending on his mood, from a usual stuffed bear face with beady eyes, to an enraged face with red eyes, and sharp teeth. He lacks any fingers and the tips of his arms, legs and inner ear are a lighter pink.
Personality[]
Sunshine, angry. Chibi-Robo holds an empty squirter against him.
Sunshine is usually happy and calm, acting friendly towards Chibi-Robo. When he doesn't get his nectar fast enough, he becomes furious, his personality and voice changing drastically. He's angry and irritable, attacking objects and people around him. He will return back to normal if given some nectar or honey, though he prefers nectar.
Storyline[]
One night, while he was insane, he shook Princess Pitts' castle causing Pitts to lose her shoe. Later, when Chibi-Robo entered Jenny's Room, he met Sunshine, and soon afterwards, Sunshine ran out of nectar. Then, Sunshine became angry and told Chibi-Robo to give him nectar. Chibi-Robo will need to extract nectar from the flowers in the Backyard using the Squirter and spray it all over Sunshine to sate him. After you give him nectar the first time, Sunshine will become happy again. However, after you scare Princess Pitts with the ghost suit, he will become angry again and try to destroy Princess Pitts's castle. Drake Redcrest tries to save her but is beaten badly by Sunshine after he knocks him down. Mort saves her by making Sunshine laugh with one of his moves. After you completed the Mort and Princess Pitts story, Sunshine will want to cure his nectar problem. He will give you The Legendary Nectar Seed, but it takes ten years to bloom, so you must go back in time using the aliens' time machine to plant it. When you return to the present and get the nectar using the Squirter, pour it on Sunshine, and he will be cured. Sunshine is one of the few toys to be owned by Jenny Sanderson instead of her father.
Trivia[]
- Sunshine and Princess Pitts are possibly the only toys to be owned by Jenny Sanderson rather than her father.
- Sunshine might possibly be the strongest toy, as he is shown to be able to shake Princess Pitts's castle even though it's much bigger than he is. He is also able to knock out Drake Redcrest with a single punch.
- The insults Sunshine uses when angry are Doofus, Pip-Squeak, CrazyPants, Space Punter.
- He could likely be protective of Jenny Sanderson as shown in one point of the game in Jenny's Room.

Because of this, Sunshine is able to watch her and move, and throughout the night he refuses to leave Jenny to get nectar, fearing the risk of leaving her.
- Sunshine, Dinah, and Sophie are the only toys that are based on animals.
- Sunshine's addiction to nectar might be based off drug addictions due to symptoms he shows, like being angry if he goes without it for some time. He has mentioned passing out and not being able to remember what happened. He also mentions never sleeping, which might have come from his addiction.
- Similar to Drake Redcrest, Sunshine might be a cartoon character, as he appears on Jenny's TV.
- His voice changes significantly when he's angry.
- He can be given honey instead of nectar, but he considers it to be not as good.
- Sunshine might have lived in the Sanderson's house for 10 years even though Jenny is eight years old, as he was aware of a Legendary Flower growing in their house 10 years ago.
- Sunshine and Primopuel are the only toys who give Happy Points while they aren't moving.
- Sunshine and Dinah are the only toys to harm someone, although Sunshine does it on screen, and Dinah doesn't.
- Shooting Sunshine with the Chibi-Blaster will make his bowtie spin.
- Even though he cares for Jenny, he still views her as a crazy girl.
