'''R.O.B.''' (short for '''Robotic Operating Buddy''') is an accessory for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] who recently made appearances in a few ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' games as a character. In Japan, it was known as the '''Famicom Robot''', which was short for '''Family Computer Robot'''. R.O.B. functions by translating flashes of information on the television screen into physical actions (using technology similar to the Zapper Gun). R.O.B. was first used for the game ''Gyromite''. R.O.B.s seem to have a relationship with one another, as when the R.O.B.s are about to detonate the bomb [[Outside the Ancient Ruins]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', one of the R.O.B.s is seen waving goodbye to the [[Ancient Minister]].  
'''R.O.B.''' (short for '''Robotic Operating Buddy''') appears in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as a sentient robot that creates computer-generated sound effects, and is most notably featured as a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. R.O.B. in real life is an accessory that was released alongside the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] to help advertise the console as a toy, due to American consumers being uneasy about video games after the {{wp|video game crash of 1983}},<ref name=revive>{{cite|url=gamehistory.org/nes-launch-collection-1985|author=Cifaldi, Frank|publisher=Video Game History Foundation|title=The NES Launch Collection|date=February 27, 2017|accessdate=December 9, 2023}}</ref> though it was compatible with only two games: ''[[nwiki:Gyromite|Gyromite]]'' and ''[[nwiki:Stack-Up|Stack-Up]]''. In Japan, R.O.B. is called '''Family Computer Robot''', shortened to '''Famicom Robot''' or simply '''Robot'''.
==History==
===''WarioWare'' series===
[[File:ROBboss.png|thumb|left||R.O.B. as a boss in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'']]
R.O.B. makes various minor appearances in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', R.O.B. is the subject of [[9-Volt]]'s [[Stack-Up]] [[microgame]]. In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', a R.O.B. is seen in 9-Volt's game room. In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', a R.O.B. accessory appears in the microgame [[Gunslinger]] after the player destroys a blue canister. In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', R.O.B. is featured in the [[R.O.B. Block Set]] microgame.


R.O.B.'s most prominent ''WarioWare'' appearance is in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', as the boss of 9-Volt's boss microgame, [[Star Fox (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Star Fox]]. Like many of his other appearances, R.O.B. model differs between Japanese and western versions. He bobs around, shooting either a large revolver-like light gun using both arms in the Japanese version or its western equivalent, the [[nwiki:NES Zapper|NES Zapper]]. To defeat him, the player has to shoot the flashing blocks set-up for as if he is being used to play ''Stack-Up''.
Players can control R.O.B. with the control pad to make him raise and lower gyroscopes. To make the gyroscope spin, the player must set the object in the gyroscope spinner and then balance it on one of the two round trays that are connected to controller two. Placing a gyro on the red tray lowers the red gates in the game; placing a gyro on the blue tray lowers the blue gates.

[[File:ROB.jpg|thumb|left|R.O.B.'s artwork from ''Mario Kart DS''.]]
[[File:MKDSRobModel.png|thumb|Data-rendered model from ''Mario Kart DS'']]
R.O.B. is the last unlockable character in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. In the game, he is tied with [[Bowser]] for being the heaviest racer. R.O.B.'s symbol is the NES Control Pad, also known as the D-Pad. R.O.B. has two original karts: the [[ROB-BLS]], which resembles R.O.B.'s stand; the colored pegs are from a game that uses them as pieces to a puzzle, and the [[ROB-LGS]], which is a kart that appear like "legs" for R.O.B. His karts are fast, heavy, and have wider handling, but they also offer the weakest drifting among all the other karts.
R.O.B. is one of the four unlockable characters in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', the others being [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Dry Bones]], and [[Waluigi]]. This is R.O.B.'s first and only playable appearance in a ''Mario Kart'' game, and he is the game's only playable character that does not return as a playable character in later installments. He can be unlocked by winning gold trophies on either all Nitro or Retro Mirror cups. In the game, he is tied with [[Bowser]] for being the fastest and heaviest racers. R.O.B.'s [[Emblem|symbol]] is the NES D-pad colored purple and is the only emblem in the game not to be in a circle. R.O.B. has two original karts: the [[ROB-BLS]], which resembles R.O.B.'s stand for the game ''Stack-Up'', and the [[ROB-LGS]], which is a kart that appears like "legs" for R.O.B. His karts are fast, heavy, and have stronger handling, but they also offer the weakest drifting among all the other karts. Due to his arms not being very flexible and lacking true hands, R.O.B. is the only character in ''Mario Kart DS'' who does not control his kart with the wheel, despite his karts having one; instead, he seems to do so by moving his arms, like the real-life accessory.


In non-international releases, R.O.B. is named '''HVC-012''', the model number for the Japanese version of R.O.B., and also colored after his Japanese model. His karts also have different colors in the Japanese version. Also, the staff ghost data for [[Desert Hills]] and [[Rainbow Road]] feature the Japanese R.O.B. and vehicles, regardless of the version of the game the player has.
R.O.B. is the first non-Mario character to appear in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. The others (in the ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' series) are [[Pac-Man]], [[Ms. Pac-Man]], [[Blinky]], and [[Mametchi]]. During online play, they may come across the '''HVC-012''', the red Japanese version of R.O.B. His karts also experience the same change of color. Also, the staff ghost data for [[Desert Hills]] and [[Rainbow Road]] features the Japanese R.O.B., no matter what version of the game it is.

R.O.B. is also the subject of the [[Stack-Up]] [[microgame]] in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' from [[9-Volt]]'s games. In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', a R.O.B. is seen in 9-Volt's game room. In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', a R.O.B. accessory appears in the microgame [[Gunslinger]] after the player destroys a blue canister (this microgame is found in [[9-Volt]]/[[18-Volt]]'s stage). In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', R.O.B. is the boss of 9-Volt's stage, the [[Star Fox (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Star Fox]] boss level. Like many of his other appearances, his model differs between Japanese and western versions. He bobs around, shooting either a large revolver-like light gun using both arms in the Japanese version or its western equivalent, the NES Zapper. To defeat him, the player has to shoot the flashing blocks set-up for has if he is being used to play ''Stack-Up''.

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
[[File:BrawlR.O.BSquad.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Enemy R.O.B.s in The Subspace Emissary.]]
[[File:ROB SSBB.png|frame|class=noclear]]
R.O.B.s have three different roles in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The first role they play is serving as enemies to the characters. They are part of the [[Subspace Army]] and attack any character that goes to their lair on [[The Subspace Bomb Factory]]. There are three variations; R.O.B. Sentries, R.O.B. Launchers, and R.O.B. Blasters. A specially trained group of R.O.B.s serves as the [[Ancient Minister]]'s personal bodyguard; the [[R.O.B. Squad]]. R.O.B.s are also used to detonate [[Subspace Bomb]]s
[[File:BrawlROB.jpg|thumb|left|R.O.B.'s artwork for ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
[[File:SubspaceIntro-ROB.png|thumb|200px|left|R.O.B. in the Subspace Emissary.]]
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|R.O.B. (SSBB)}}
In the [[Subspace Emissary]] it is revealed that the [[Ancient Minister]] is actually a R.O.B. himself, and is being commanded by [[Tabuu]] to destroy the [[Super Smash Bros. World]] to help his people. When [[Samus]], [[Pikachu]], [[Olimar]], [[Captain Falcon]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[Diddy Kong]] infiltrate the bomb factory and meet the Ancient Minister, he refuses to battle with them. [[Ganondorf]] appears in a hologram and forces the R.O.B.s to detonate all the bombs and to shoot the Ancient Minster when he tries to stop them.
R.O.B. appears as a newcomer and unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He is unlocked by playing 160 Brawl matches, collecting 250 trophies, or having R.O.B. join the party in The Subspace Emissary. His moveset is mostly based on the original R.O.B. accessory. His standard special move is [[smashwiki:Robo Beam|Robo Beam]], which fires a beam from between R.O.B.'s eyes. R.O.B.'s side special move is [[smashwiki:Arm Rotor|Arm Rotor]], which has him spin his arms around rapidly to attack. His down special move is [[smashwiki:Gyro|Gyro]], which charges and tosses one of R.O.B.'s gyro accessories. His up special move is [[smashwiki:Robo Burner|Robo Burner]], which uses jets in R.O.B.'s base to fly into the air. His [[Final Smash]] is [[smashwiki:Diffusion Beam|Diffusion Beam]], which fires a short-range constant beam from R.O.B.'s eyes that deals constant damage to nearby opponents.
[[File:ROB SSBB.png|frame|right]]
 
After the R.O.B.s shoot the Ancient Minister, his robes burn off revealing that he was a R.O.B. himself all along. Unable to prevent the bombs from being detonated, he ends up finally being carried away by [[Donkey Kong]] as the factory explodes. R.O.B. then escapes on the [[Falcon Flyer]] and meets up with the rest of the characters on the ground. He goes into [[Subspace]] and is turned into a [[Trophy]] by Tabuu. Eventually [[King Dedede]], [[Ness]], and [[Luigi]] save him and he goes on to defeat Tabuu and save the world.
R.O.B.'s general appearance in the game is that of the Japanese version of the accessory, while his NES colors appear as an alternate costume. Also, one of R.O.B.'s alternate costumes is based on the colors of the North American SNES. In addition, a structure that looks similar to R.O.B. appears in the [[Port Town Aero Dive]] stage, as it is in ''[[fzerowiki:F-Zero GX|F-Zero GX]]''. It is visible in one of the stop spots in the background of the stage. R.O.B. is an unusual character as he is fast and is difficult to launch, but has lower attack power than other heavyweights.
=====The Subspace Emissary=====
Before the events of the Subspace Emissary, R.O.B. was the leader of the R.O.B. race of robots, officially titled the '''Master Robot'''.<ref name=DojoSSE>{{cite|language=en-us|date=April 10, 2008|url=www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea17.html|title=Mysteries of The Subspace Emissary|publisher=Smash Bros. DOJO!!|accessdate=June 29, 2024}}</ref> He and the other robots lived on the floating [[Isle of Ancients]] and watched over the [[World of Trophies]]. However, it was ultimately invaded by Tabuu, a humanoid entity from Subspace. He attacked the Isle of Ancients, deactivating many R.O.B.s and eventually taking the robots hostage. R.O.B. was forced to ally himself with Tabuu in order to prevent the deaths of more of his robot brethren, and began to hide under his ceremonial robes of mourning and assume the title of '''Ancient Minister'''. The Isle of Ancients itself was converted into [[The Subspace Bomb Factory]], and the Ancient Minister became the commander of the Subspace Army. As the commander of the army, he lead the invasion of the World of Trophies on behalf of Tabuu, while a specially trained group of R.O.B.s served as the "Ancient Minister's" personal bodyguards, the [[R.O.B. Squad]], made up of [[Subspace Army#R.O.B. Sentry|R.O.B. Sentries]], [[Subspace Army#R.O.B. Launcher|R.O.B. Launcher]]s, and [[Subspace Army#R.O.B. Blaster|R.O.B. Blaster]]s. R.O.B.s were also used to detonate [[Subspace Bomb]]s, to the "Minister's" deepening regret.
 
[[File:SubspaceIntro-AncientMinister.png|thumb|left|The Ancient Minister's introduction]]
As the Ancient Minister, he first appeared in the Subspace Emissary after [[Mario]] and [[Kirby]]'s match at the [[Midair Stadium]], where he detonated a Subspace Bomb, sending the stadium to Subspace. He escaped, only to be later chased by Mario and [[Pit (character)|Pit]] in [[The Plain]]s, who had little success catching him. He then detonated another Subspace Bomb at [[The Battlefield Fortress]], attracting the attention of [[Marth]], [[Meta Knight]], and [[Ike]]. Regardless of the group's efforts, he manages to escape their grasp, however, he is soon discovered by Mario and Pit once again, along with [[Link]] and [[Yoshi]]. Again, the Ancient Minister escapes, but not before detonating yet another Subspace Bomb, sending King Dedede's Castle into Subspace.
 
The Ancient Minister is not seen again until [[Samus]] and [[Pikachu]] corner him at the Subspace Bomb Factory. Samus and Pikachu are ready to fight, but the Ancient Minister refuses, growing depressed at the number of R.O.B.s sacrificed to activate the Subspace Bombs, confusing them. Soon after, [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Captain Falcon]], and [[Captain Olimar]] arrive, also battle-ready, but the Ancient Minister still refuses. A holographic [[Ganondorf]] appears, quickly realizing that he has betrayed him. Using a remote-controlled button, he is able to control the R.O.B.s, ordering them to attack the Ancient Minister and activate every Subspace Bomb in the factory.
 
[[File:SubspaceIntro-ROB.png|thumb|The Ancient Minister's true form: R.O.B.]]
However, when the R.O.B. Squad shoots the Ancient Minister, his robes burn off, revealing to everyone present that he was a R.O.B. himself all along. Unable to prevent the bombs from being detonated, he decides to remain with the other R.O.B.s until he ends up being carried away by [[Donkey Kong]] as the factory explodes. R.O.B. escapes with the others on the [[Falcon Flyer]] and later meets up with the rest of the characters on the ground. He and the rest of the cast go into [[Subspace]] to confront Tabuu, but are all turned into Trophies. Eventually, [[Kirby]] saves him and he joins the group who go on to defeat Tabuu and save the World of Trophies. With so many Subspace Bombs set off simultaneously on the Isle of Ancients, only a shining, X-shaped scar appears where the Isle once was when the rest of the world is restored with the destruction of Tabuu and the Great Maze.<ref name=DojoSSE/>

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====
The lead R.O.B. then becomes a playable character in his own right. R.O.B.'s [[Final Smash]] makes him shoot a group of short-ranged whirling lasers out of his eyes, followed by some hard-hitting short lasers, similar to the [[Superspicy Curry]]. R.O.B. can freely move during this Final Smash, unlike some other characters.  The tiny light on R.O.B.'s head tells how charged up his laser is, being brighter the more powerful. R.O.B. appears primarily as the Famicom [Japanese] version of himself, with the grey NES version available as an alternate costume. Additionally, R.O.B. makes sound effects similar to sounds from an [[NES]].
[[File:ROBSSB4EN.png|thumb|200px|R.O.B.'s NES version appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''.]]
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|R.O.B. (SSB4)}}
R.O.B. appears again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' as an unlockable character. This time around, his default palette is different depending on the version to match the colors of his original release; in the Japanese version, he is the tan and red Famicom palette, while other versions have the grey NES palette. R.O.B. also has a new Final Smash, the [[smashwiki:Super Diffusion Beam|Super Diffusion Beam]], which turns R.O.B. into a cannon that fires a single beam, dealing continuous damage until the end of the attack.


For [[equipment]], R.O.B. uses the Zapper equipment for attack, the Block equipment for defense, and the Booster equipment for speed.
A structure that looks similar to R.O.B. appears in the [[Port Town Aero Dive]] stage. It is visible in one of the stop spots in the background of the stage. Also, R.O.B. is the only playable character in the "Other" category of trophies when sorted by series. He is also the first inorganic playable character. R.O.B. is the only playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' who doesn't have a home stage, which is a stage that pertains directly to it's character. However, in All-Star Mode, [[Mario Bros. (stage)|Mario Bros.]] functions as R.O.B.'s home stage, but technically this is the ''Mario'' series team's stage. It was likely made into R.O.B.'s home stage, because the origins for that stage was from the actual game, ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', which was released on the [[NES]], the same console that ''Gyromite'' was released on. Lastly, ''Gyromite'' is a music choice for that stage.


====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
[[File:ROBFamicom_SSBU.png|thumb|left|200px|R.O.B.'s Famicom version appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|R.O.B. (SSBU)}}
R.O.B. reappears as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. This time, he has a light gauge on his chassis showing how much fuel he has left when using his Robo Burner, which emits blue when it is full, yellow when it is two-thirds full, red when it is one-third full, and flashes red when it is completely empty. R.O.B.'s pummel now has him headbutt the opponent, while his forward throw now has him rear his arm back, and punch the opponent. R.O.B. travels higher during his up throw, while his down throw now buries opponents; it deals less damage to compensate. His double jumping animation is now a midair twirl.


R.O.B.'s Final Smash has been changed again, this time to [[smashwiki:Guided Robo Beam|Guided Robo Beam]], making him one of the few fighters that have appeared to have a different Final Smash across every game since their introduction (along with [[King Dedede]], [[Pit (character)|Pit]], and [[Samus|Zero Suit Samus]]).
====Special Moves====
=====Robo Beam=====
[[File:RoboBeam.jpg|200px|thumb|left|R.O.B. using '''Robo Beam'''.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Robo Beam}}
'''Robo Beam''' is the name of R.O.B.'s Standard [[Super Smash Bros. Special Moves|Special Move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. In this, he shoots out a laser so long, it takes up the whole width of the screen setting. This move however is extremely thin, approximately 3/4 the size of the [[Zelda#Light Arrow|Light Arrow]]. The move does 3% damage. Also, if the player aims it downwards, it will bounce off the ground. Also, just like Wario's [[Wario Waft]], if the player doesn't use the attack for a while, it will be a Super Robo Beam. However, the attack will not work if used again immediately after firing. [[Kirby]] is able to use this attack if he sucks up R.O.B.'s powers; even saying "Beep!" when using the attack.


In the Korean version, despite R.O.B.'s name being written the same way as in the English version, unlike in the Korean version of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the announcer refers to him as "Robot", as in the Japanese and Chinese versions.
=====Arm Rotor=====
[[File:ArmRotor.jpg|200px|thumb|right|'''Arm Rotor''' in action.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Arm Rotor}}
'''Arm Rotor''' is the side special move of R.O.B. in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. It's a spinning move that hits the opponent a few times. It causes R.O.B. to move forward a little while spinning, similar to the [[Ice Climbers|Ice Climber's]] move [[Squall Hammer]]. R.O.B. can change the direction of the way he is swinging his arms. He can also deflect projectiles.


Due to the default and secondary palettes being swapped between the Western and Eastern regions, some [[spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] battles featuring NES-color R.O.B. in the Eastern versions use the Famicom-color one in the Western versions, and vice-versa. His [[List of stages debuting in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U#Boxing Ring|Boxing Ring]] stage name, The Last Of His Kind, references his role in the Subspace Emissary.
=====Robo Burner=====
[[File:RoboBurner.jpg|200px|thumb|left|'''Robo Burner''' in action.]]
{{main|SmashWiki:Robo Burner}}
'''Robo Burner''' is the up special move of R.O.B. in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. When used, he uses a booster to send him flying. R.O.B. can also angle it to the side. Other attacks can be used whilst flying. The flight lasts about five seconds. A short hop will occur if the special move button is simply tapped.


In {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary}}, R.O.B. does not appear when the fighters oppose [[Galeem]] for the first time. However, he, like every fighter except Kirby, is hit by one of Galeem's beams of light and imprisoned in the World of Light, where a puppet fighter of him is created. Said puppet fighter initially serves Galeem, but is later forced into serving [[Dharkon]]. Kirby's team defeat the Dharkon-serving R.O.B. puppet fighter in the Dark Realm, freeing the real R.O.B. who joins the team against Galeem and Dharkon.
=====Gyro=====
{{br}}
[[File:Gyro.jpg|thumb|200px|right|R.O.B. uses '''Gyro''' and throws a Gyromite.]]
=====Classic Mode route=====
{{main|SmashWiki:Gyro}}
{|class="wikitable"style="margin:auto;"
'''Gyro''' is R.O.B.'s down [[Super Smash Bros. Special Moves|special move]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. R.O.B. pulls out a [[Wikipedia:Gyromite|Gyromite]] and launches it forward. It's movement varies depending on the stage and gravitational effects. R.O.B. can charge it up to make it launch faster, further and make it spin for longer. this charging technique is similar to [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] move [[Charge Shot]]. To use it once charged, the player must press the Down special attack button when they want to fire it. Once R.O.B. shoots it, the Gyromite can remain on the stage for a while, depending on how long the attack was charged for. R.O.B. or another character can pick it up and throw it again. Until a fired Gyromite disappears, the player can't shoot another one. The name comes from the game ''Gyromite'', R.O.B.'s first appearance, and his weapon, the ''Gyromite''.

'''Diffusion Beam''' is the name of R.O.B.'s [[Final Smash]]. Once the [[Smash Ball]] has been opened and R.O.B. activates it, swirling lasers will come out of his eyes, which deal a lot of damage to opponents caught in their short range, without any knockback. The player can choose to shoot a quick short-range laser beam which does moderate damage and high knockback, and which will cause a KO in most cases. This Final Smash allows the player to move around and pick up items while the lasers are still firing automatically. It also makes R.O.B. temporarily invincible. R.O.B.'s [[Final Smash]] was the only one that wasn't detailed on the [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/hidden07.html Smash Bros. DOJO!!] website.

<br clear=all>
R.O.B. also makes an appearance as a [[Mystery Mushroom]] [[Costume Mario|costume]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. His appearance changes depending on the region: in the Japanese version of the game, his appearance matches that of the Famicom; in all other versions, it matches that of the NES. Upon transforming into R.O.B., the "level start" tune from ''Gyromite'' plays. When {{button|wii|padup}} is pressed, R.O.B. emits beams of light from his eyes.

[[File:R.O.B (US).jpg|thumb|200px|R.O.B. in ''Tomodachi Life'']]
*In ''[[pikipedia:Pikmin 2|Pikmin 2]]'', there are several treasures related to R.O.B., all in the [[pikipedia:Blast from the Past Series|Blast from the Past Series]]. The [[pikipedia:Remembered Old Buddy|Remembered Old Buddy]] is a R.O.B. head, and has the same acronym as the Robotic Operating Buddy. There are also five Gyro Blocks in the series: the [[pikipedia:Fond Gyro Block|Fond Gyro Block]], the [[pikipedia:Memorable Gyro Block|Memorable Gyro Block]], the [[pikipedia:Lost Gyro Block|Lost Gyro Block]], the [[pikipedia:Favorite Gyro Block|Favorite Gyro Block]], and the [[pikipedia:Treasured Gyro Block|Treasured Gyro Block]].
*In the same style as the original R.O.B., R.O.B.'s [[amiibo]]'s coloring differs depending on the region; however, R.O.B.'s [[Family Computer|Famicom]] coloring would later be available around the world. The [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] coloring was never released in Japan.
{{BoxTop}}
**If both are used in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', the player can get two different R.O.B. [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]. Curiously, the same cannot be done in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''.
{{NIWA|SmashWiki=1}}
*In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''{{iw|miiwiki|Tomodachi Life}}'', R.O.B.'s description references its appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, referring to it as an "official Smash brawler."
