'''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]]''.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', R.O.B. appears in the toy chest at the top of [[Booster Tower]]. In both the original and the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], R.O.B. uses his Famicom colors.

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''.

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.'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.

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.

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]]).

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.

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.

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.

|''Originally released in 1985 as a peripheral for the NES, R.O.B. was a little robot that responded to flashing lights in games. In this game, he can fire gyros and lasers at his enemies. He also has the ability to hover, which is handy for recoveries. Keep in mind that his Robo Beam can be charged up for an extra-powerful shot.''

The beam splits up partway through into smaller beams that drag foes to the center, where they'll be hit continuously. The assault finishes off with a single wide beam just for good measure.
