Nobita uses it to create a jump rope, a seesaw, a roller coaster, and a Ferris wheel, attracting many people, including Gian, Suneo, Dekisugi, and Haruo, to play. When it rains, it turns into an umbrella. After Nobita returns home, it cooks dinner for him. Doraemon is worried that Nobita has come home early. As soon as he gets home, He sees it playing chess with Nobita. Nobita says he hates it, but it is really into it.
