With the help of the Rusties, a group of colourful outmodes who help him discover Ratchet's evil plot, Rodney has to defeat an army of mechanical minions to restore order to the city.
Following roughly the same plot as the Blue Sky movie, Robots is a classic style third person, 3D platformer where the player control Rodney and battle evil bots, upgrading his various weapons and gadgets along the way.
In addition to playing as the movie's hero, the player will also be able to play as his mechanical sidekick, Wonderbot - using him to explore areas that are inaccessible to Rodney.
A few levels let you drive the Transport Pod, a giant metal ball Rodney uses as a vehicle.
The game takes the player to locations from the movie: Rivet Town, Robot City, Big Weld's Factory, the Outmode Zone, Robot City Sewers, Big Weld's Mansion and Madame Gasket's Chop Shop.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Robots for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Robots to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2005.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Robots has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
