Laser Robots are purple in appearance and somewhat resemble [[Topman|Topmen]], they constantly remain stationary and attack by firing lasers in a circular ray-like shock wave and if they hit Mario he will lose one health. Laser Robots constantly fire out circular ray-lasers whether Mario is near or not and the lasers have a limit as to how far they can go before they disappear. They cannot be destroyed under any circumstance, however there is a way to stun the robots, impairing them for several seconds and giving Mario refuge from their barrage of attacks. If Mario either jumps on top of the robot or fires a [[Star Bit]] at it then the robot will become stunned and the spring beneath its head becomes exposed and Mario can then use them like a [[trampoline]].

Laser Robots also have a spiked yellow variant which attacks in the same way as its purple counterpart, but due to its spikes Mario cannot stun it, they also lack eyes.

{{foreign names
The final variant of Laser Robot is a gray, undefeatable, mobile unit with sinister-looking eyes, which hovers around with the aid of a propeller at its bottom. This variant can shoot a straight laser beam at Mario from its mouth that is very fast and very hard to dodge. If Mario stands on its head it will cease all action but once Mario starts moving again it will continue with its attack.

All Laser Robots are invincible, they cannot be defeated by anything less than [[Rainbow Mario]] himself. Mario can throw [[Bob-omb]]s at the robots but they will still not be destroyed and will resume their attack momentarily. .
