'''Brobot''' is [[Mr. L]]'s giant robot in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Its name is a portmanteau of "bro" (short for "brother") and "robot". It was created in the image of [[Luigi]]'s head. It is the ''Super Paper Mario'' equivalent of the [[Magnus von Grapple]] robot found in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

After Mr. L is beaten in the [[Whoa Zone]], he summons the Brobot and faces the player and [[Squirps]] in a battle resembling a space shooter. After defeat, he retreats to fix Brobot. He comes back in [[World of Nothing|Chapter 6-1]], after [[Sammer's Kingdom]] gets destroyed by [[The Void]], with the improved [[Brobot L-type]].

Brobot's 255 HP may be a reference to the data storage abilities of classic consoles. It is also the largest amount of HP in the game (tied with [[Dark Muth]] for having the most HP out of any enemy in the game besides [[Shadoo]]), even more than its improved version. However, this is countered by the fact that [[Squirps]]' laser rapidly delivers large amounts of damage.

Brobot appears in volume 37 of the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'', in the ''Super Paper Mario'' story arc, where Luigi calls upon it after thinking about negative memories he had with Mario. The Brobot then gets defeated by the Pure Heart and the happy flowers.

==Combat==
In battle, Brobot fires homing missiles and straight shots at the party. The missiles can be destroyed by shooting them. Brobot also fires lasers from its eyes, but they can be dodged by [[Flip|flipping]]. It can also open its mouth and inhale to try and suck the gang in, then eat them and spit them out, doing major damage in the process. 

During the battle, Choco-bars will float by. The player can get them and use them for their advantage. There are five different colors, and each color has a different effect;

*<font color=#ff0000>Red bars</font color> will increase the player's Attack power by 1.
*<font color=#ffd700>Yellow bars</font color> will make the player faster.
*<font color=#008800>Green bars</font color> will allow the player to shoot missiles for a short time, which deal regular damage but [[piercing attack|ignore defense]].
*<font color=#0000ff>Blue bars</font color> will create a barrier that will nullify all of Brobot's damage.
*<font color=#880088>Purple bars</font color> will have the player shoot two Squirps rays at once.
