Plot

MiPP-E becomes frightened but assertive when Meccanoid approaches him and Bob. Suddenly, MiPP-E notices that Bob is playing Pokémon Go, and stops him. Meccanoid explains to the MiPs that he wants to lead them to the robot village. MiPP-E immediately wants to go, but Bob is still suspicious of Meccanoid. However, when they hear an ambulance siren, the MiPs become worried that they forgot to pay the hospital bill and follow Meccanoid.

Next, they arrive at the robot village: Robot Park. It is full of many other robots. Meccanoid shows the MiPs around, explaining the Storage Station, the Picnic Area, and the Robot Hotel. The Storage Station contains any items a robot might need, the Picnic Area offers shade, and the Robot Hotel is free for all robots. Meccanoid offers for the MiPs to live in Robot Park, and they eagerly accept, MiPP-E singing a song about it. The MiPs run into the village, saying goodbye to Meccanoid.

When no one is looking, Meccanoid sneaks around a corner. He then appears in a room that is almost completely dark, informing the Mysterious Voice that the MiPs are in the village.

Trivia

• When Bob is playing on his phone at the beginning, the music is from Pokémon Go. This is a callback to "MiP Plays Pokémon Go!".

• The first line Meccanoid says in this episode is a quote from Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location: “Don’t be afraid. I’m not going to hurt you. I’m only going to keep you for a little while.”

• MiPP-E says “Topic Twister”, a reference to the book Superflex Takes on Glassman and the Team of Unthinkables.

• When MiPP-E hears the siren and asks Bob about a hospital bill, this references the fact that the two MiPs were in hospitals in the previous episode.

• Jurassic Park music plays.

• “What’s This?" is a parody of the song of the same name from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

• The tripod of the camera used to film MiP’s Adventures can be seen during the MiPs’ final scene in which they say “Thank you”.

• This takes place immediately after "MiP Meets MiP", which ended with Meccanoid approaching the MiPs.

• The fact that Bob has his phone in this episode shows that whoever rescued him and brought him to the hospital after "MiP Plays Pokémon GO!" found his phone and brought it to the hospital.

• The tape that appeared on the back of MiPP-E's head in "MiP Meets MiP" is still there in this episode.
