| Appears in | Mario Kart World |
The R.O.B. H.O.G. is a bike that appears in Mario Kart World. As indicated by its name, the bike resembles R.O.B., featuring his arms holding the front wheel, his head acting as the headlights and handlebars, a large black spring holding up the seat, and legs holding the rear wheel. The emblem is located right in front of R.O.B.'s neck. The R.O.B. H.O.G. shares stats with the Mach Rocket.
This bike is randomly used by the CPU-controlled Mario (Touring), Mario (Mechanic), Luigi (Touring), and Luigi (Mechanic).
Color schemesEdit
Like most of R.O.B.'s appearances, the R.O.B. H.O.G. has two color schemes: one where the bike is in R.O.B.'s Japanese Famicom colors (white and red) with "Family Computer Robot" near the back wheel, and another where the bike is in R.O.B.'s Western NES colors (light and dark gray) with his name written near the back wheel. Unlike in Mario Kart DS, but akin to the Super Smash Bros. series, both of R.O.B.'s color schemes are available in all regions, although whether NES or Famicom colors are used depends on the character riding the bike.
