Dr. Nerdnick is a spectacled, white-haired inventor who lives in Robo Land with his robot assistant, Bunsen, and mainly specializes in building robots. He only speaks in an unintelligible language that only Bunsen and other robots in Robo Land understand.
History[edit]
Dr. Nerdnick only ever appears in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Robo Koopa". Prior to the events of the episode, King Koopa came to Robo Land, where he managed to get Nerdnick into building him a robo-suit, which he used to become Robo Koopa, allowing him to terrorize the city. Whether Nerdnick was bribed or forced is unknown. Knowing that Nerdnick was the only person who was smart enough to devise a plan that could stop him, Robo Koopa cuffed Nerdnick to an operating table in Nerdnick’s workshop.
Bunsen manages to escape from Robo Koopa, finds Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad in Robo Land, and brings them back to the workshop. With their help, Bunsen is able to rescue and escape with Nerdnick, but not with Princess Toadstool and Toad getting trapped in Robo Koopa's force fields.
After escaping from Robo Koopa, Nerdnick leads Mario and Luigi to a junkyard, where he and Bunsen build a robo-suit that Mario and Luigi can use to fight Robo Koopa with called the Plumbinator. After fighting against Robo Koopa, the Plumbinator is destroyed, and Robo Koopa succeeds in recapturing Nerdnick. With Bunsen acting as his interpretor, Nerdnick tricks Robo Koopa into thinking that his robo-suit is going to run out of fuel unless he pushes the ejector seat button. Robo Koopa pushes the button, and is blasted out of the robo-suit, thus ending his reign of terror.
Afterwards, Nerdnick realizes that Robo Koopa's suit is too dangerous to keep around. As a reward to Mario and Luigi, he converts it into a pizza oven.
