Brobot L-Type is the new and improved version of Brobot, Mr. L's gigantic robot in Super Paper Mario.
In Chapter 6-1, after the Sammer's Kingdom gets destroyed by The Void, Mr. L appears in the new World of Nothing. His new improved Brobot L-Type has arms and legs this time and is more powerful, able to swallow Mario and fire rocket punches at him. He then summons Brobot L-Type and begins a duel with Mario, Bowser, and Princess Peach.
Using a combination of Boomer, cleverly timed jumps and proper defense strategies, the trio of heroes managed to destroy Brobot L-Type once and for all.
Trivia
- Brobot L-Type's name is a portmanteau of "bro" (a shortened word for "brother", referring to Luigi), "robot", the letter "L" (referring again to Luigi), and "type".
- Interestingly, the name "Brobot" was previously applied to a recurring character on the television program The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, although the two characters' names are likely coincidental; the aforementioned portmanteau isn't so creative.
- Oddly enough, Brobot L-type seems to have less HP than the robot's first incarnation. Its HP amount is a reference to the Nintendo 64, since, as seen in Luigi's Diary in Paper Mario, he likes Nintendo 64s (at least at the time of Paper Mario), since he wonders excitedly if the Shy Guys have a Nintendo 64.
