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]]. Some of these purple robots do not fire laser, but still have a springy neck.

There is also a very rare type of Laser Robot, which has a bolt on top of it. It is found in [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' on the [[Buoy Base Galaxy#Poké Ball Planet|Poké Ball Planet]], and once Mario or Luigi spins on the bolt, the planet opens up to reveal the [[Power Star]].

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.

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.
