'''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 has the second-largest amount of HP in the game, tied with [[Dark Muth]] (only [[Shadoo]] has more health, having 400 HP in total), even more than Brobot L-type. 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.
'''Brobot''' is [[Mr. L]]'s colossal robot in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. His name is a portmanteau of "bro" (a slang for "brother") and "robot", and he was created in the image of [[Luigi]]'s head. After Mr. L loses to [[Mario]] and his team in combat, he summons his giant robotic "brother" and fights Mario's team in a battle oddly similar to scrolling space shooters such as ''Gradius''. Once he loses, Mr. L vows to face Mario again. He has kept his promise, for he comes back in [[World of Nothing|Chapter 6-1]], after [[Sammer's Kingdom]] gets destroyed by [[The Void]]. His new improved [[Brobot L-Type]] has arms and legs this time and is much powerful and able to swallow Mario and fire rocket punches at him. However, Mario uses [[Boomer (Pixl)|Boomer]] to destroy Brobot.


==Combat==
==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.

In battle, Brobot fires homing missiles and straight shots at the party. The missiles can be destroyed by shooting them. Occasionally he uses a laser attack that projects from his eyeballs, but this can be dodged by [[flip]]ping. He can open his mechanical mouth wide and inhale to try and suck Mario in, then chomps on him. During the battle, Choco-bars will float by. The player can get them and use them in his or her advantage. There are five different colors, and each color has a different effect. Red ones will increase the player's Attack power by 1, yellow ones will make the player faster, green ones will allow the player to shoot missiles for a short time, blue ones will create a barrier that will nullify all of Brobot's damage and purple ones will have the player shoot two Squirps rays at once.

Brobot L-type has very similar maneuvers, as well as the abilities of stomping and grabbing. If the player places Boomer in range of his inhale attack, the [[Pixl]] would be sucked inside and explode, doing a hefty amount of damage.

==Trivia==
*Besides [[Shadoo]], Brobot is the boss with the most [[Heart Point|HP]] in the game, even more than the final boss [[Super Dimentio]]. Surprisingly, he has more HP than his improved form. However, Squirps' laser does damage very quickly, counteracting the high HP.
*Its health amount may be a reference to the data storage abilities of classic consoles: a maximum of 255.
*The Brobot is the [[Magnus von Grapple]] of ''Super Paper Mario''. Magnus von Grapple has an [[Magnus von Grapple 2.0| evolved form]], and Brobot has [[Brobot L-Type|one too]].
