'''R.O.B.''' (short for '''Robotic Operating Buddy''') is an accessory released alongside the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] to help advertise the console as a toy, due to American consumers being uneasy about video games after the {{wp|video game crash of 1983}}, thus giving [[Nintendo]] a foothold in the market and allowing it to be revitalized shortly prior to the release of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''<ref name=revive/> He functions by translating flashes of information on the television screen into physical actions to assist players in its only two compatible games, ''[[nwiki:Gyromite|Gyromite]]'' and ''[[nwiki:Stack-Up|Stack-Up]]''. In Japan, R.O.B. is called '''Family Computer Robot''', shortened to '''Famicom Robot''' or simply '''Robot'''. While R.O.B. has made cameo appearances in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], he has also appeared as a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', where he uses computer-generated sound effects as well as in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].

R.O.B. makes various minor appearances in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', R.O.B. is the subject of [[9-Volt]]'s [[Stack-Up]] [[microgame]]. In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', a R.O.B. is seen in 9-Volt's game room. In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', a R.O.B. accessory appears in the microgame [[Gunslinger]] after the player destroys a blue canister. In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', R.O.B. is featured in the [[R.O.B. Block Set]] microgame.

In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', R.O.B. is the boss of 9-Volt's stage, the [[Star Fox (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Star Fox]] boss level. Like many of his other appearances, his model differs between Japanese and western versions. He bobs around, shooting either a large revolver-like light gun using both arms in the Japanese version or its western equivalent, the NES Zapper. To defeat him, the player has to shoot the flashing blocks set-up for has if he is being used to play ''Stack-Up''.

R.O.B. is one of the four unlockable characters in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', the others being [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Dry Bones]], and [[Waluigi]], and is the first non-''Mario'' character to appear as a playable character in a main ''Mario Kart'' game. He can be unlocked by winning gold trophies on either all Nitro or Retro Mirror cups. In the game, he is tied with [[Bowser]] for being the fastest and heaviest racers. R.O.B.'s [[Emblem|symbol]] is the NES D-pad colored purple and is the only emblem in the game not to be a circle. R.O.B. has two original karts: the [[ROB-BLS]], which resembles R.O.B.'s stand for the game ''Stack-Up'', and the [[ROB-LGS]], which is a kart that appears like "legs" for R.O.B. His karts are fast, heavy, and have stronger handling, but they also offer the weakest drifting among all the other karts. R.O.B. is the only character in ''Mario Kart DS'' who doesn't control his kart with the wheel, despite his karts having one; instead, he seems to control the kart by moving his arms, like the real-life accessory.

This is R.O.B.'s first and only playable appearance in a ''Mario Kart'' game, and he is the game's only playable character that does not return as a playable character in later installments.

His karts are fast, heavy, and have stronger handling, but they also offer the weakest drifting among all the other karts. Due to his arms not being very flexible and lacking true hands, R.O.B. is the only character in ''Mario Kart DS'' who doesn't control his kart with the wheel, despite his karts having one; instead, he seems to do so by moving his arms, like the real life accessory.
 
In the Japanese version of the game, R.O.B. is colored like his Japanese model, and is named '''HVC-012''', the model number for the Japanese version of R.O.B. His karts have also different colors in the Japanese version. Also, the staff ghost data for [[Desert Hills]] and [[Rainbow Road]] feature the Japanese R.O.B. and vehicles, regardless of the version of the game the player has.


This marks R.O.B.'s first and currently only playable appearance so far in the ''Mario Kart'' series, making him the only playable character in ''Mario Kart DS'' to not return as a playable character in later installments so far.

R.O.B.'s general appearance in the game is that of the Japanese version of the accessory, while his NES colors appear as an alternate costume. Also, one of R.O.B.'s alternate costumes is based on the colors of the North American SNES. In addition, a structure that looks similar to R.O.B. appears in the [[Port Town Aero Dive]] stage, as it is in ''[[fzerowiki:F-Zero GX|F-Zero GX]]''. It is visible in one of the stop spots in the background of the stage. R.O.B. is an unusual character as he is fast and is difficult to launch, but has lower attack power than other heavyweights.

=====The Subspace Emissary=====
Before the events of the Subspace Emissary, R.O.B. was the leader of the R.O.B. race of robots, officially titled the '''Master Robot'''.<ref name="DojoSSE">April 10, 2008. [https://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/gamemode/modea/modea17.html Mysteries of The Subspace Emissary]. ''Smash Bros. DOJO!!''. Retrieved June 29, 2018.</ref> He and the other robots lived on the floating [[Isle of Ancients]] and watched over the [[World of Trophies]]. However, it was ultimately invaded by Tabuu, a humanoid entity from Subspace. He attacked the Isle of Ancients, deactivating many R.O.B.s and eventually taking the robots hostage. R.O.B. was forced to ally himself with Tabuu in order to prevent the deaths of more of his robot brethren, and began to hide under his ceremonial robes of mourning and assume the title of '''Ancient Minister'''. The Isle of Ancients itself was converted into [[The Subspace Bomb Factory]], and the Ancient Minister became the commander of the Subspace Army. As the commander of the army, he lead the invasion of the World of Trophies on behalf of Tabuu, while a specially trained group of R.O.B.s served as the "Ancient Minister's" personal bodyguards, the [[R.O.B. Squad]], made up of [[Subspace Army#R.O.B. Sentry|R.O.B. Sentries]], [[Subspace Army#R.O.B. Launcher|R.O.B. Launcher]]s, and [[Subspace Army#R.O.B. Blaster|R.O.B. Blaster]]s. R.O.B.s were also used to detonate [[Subspace Bomb]]s, to the "Minister's" deepening regret.

[[File:SubspaceIntro-AncientMinister.png|thumb|left|The Ancient Minister's introduction]]
As the Ancient Minister, he first appeared in the Subspace Emissary after [[Mario]] and [[Kirby]]'s match at the [[Midair Stadium]], where he detonated a Subspace Bomb, sending the stadium to Subspace. He escaped, only to be later chased by Mario and [[Pit (character)|Pit]] in [[The Plain]]s, who had little success catching him. He then detonated another Subspace Bomb at [[The Battlefield Fortress]], attracting the attention of [[Marth]], [[Meta Knight]], and [[Ike]]. Regardless of the group's efforts, he manages to escape their grasp, however, he is soon discovered by Mario and Pit once again, along with [[Link]] and [[Yoshi]]. Again, the Ancient Minister escapes, but not before detonating yet another Subspace Bomb, sending King Dedede's Castle into Subspace.

The Ancient Minister is not seen again until [[Samus Aran]] and [[Pikachu]] corner him at the Subspace Bomb Factory. Samus and Pikachu are ready to fight, but the Ancient Minister refuses, growing depressed at the number of R.O.B.s sacrificed to activate the Subspace Bombs, confusing them. Soon after, [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Captain Falcon]], and [[Captain Olimar]] arrive, also battle-ready, but the Ancient Minister still refuses. A holographic [[Ganondorf]] appears, quickly realizing that he has betrayed him. Using a remote-controlled button, he is able to control the R.O.B.s, ordering them to attack the Ancient Minister and activate every Subspace Bomb in the factory.

However, when the R.O.B. Squad shoots the Ancient Minister, his robes burn off, revealing to everyone present that he was a R.O.B. himself all along. Unable to prevent the bombs from being detonated, he ends up finally being carried away by [[Donkey Kong]] as the factory explodes. R.O.B. escapes with the others on the [[Falcon Flyer]] and later meets up with the rest of the characters on the ground. He and the rest of the cast go into [[Subspace]] to confront Tabuu, but are all turned into Trophies. Eventually, [[Kirby]] saves him and he joins the group who go on to defeat Tabuu and save the World of Trophies. With so many Subspace Bombs set off simultaneously on the Isle of Ancients, only a shining, X-shaped scar appears where the Isle once was when the rest of the world is restored with the destruction of Tabuu and the Great Maze.<ref name="DojoSSE" />

R.O.B. appears again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' as an unlockable character. This time around, his default palette is different depending on the version to match the colors of his original release; in the Japanese version, he is the tan and red Famicom palette, while other versions have the grey NES palette. R.O.B. also has a new Final Smash, the [[#Super Diffusion Beam|Super Diffusion Beam]], which turns R.O.B. into a cannon that fires a single beam, dealing continuous damage until the end of the attack.

Due to the default and secondary palettes being swapped between the Western and Eastern regions, some [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] battles featuring NES-color R.O.B. in the Eastern versions use the Famicom-color one in the Western versions, and vice-versa.

R.O.B. is not seen when the fighters oppose [[Galeem]] for the first time. However, he, like every fighter except Kirby, is hit by one of Galeem's beams of light and imprisoned in the World of Light, where a puppet fighter of him is created. Said puppet fighter initially serves Galeem, but is later forced into serving [[Dharkon]]. Kirby's team defeat the Dharkon-serving R.O.B. puppet fighter in the Dark Realm, freeing the real R.O.B. who joins the team against Galeem and Dharkon.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', Robo Beam has two customizable variations that can be unlocked and switched out. The first custom move is '''Wide-Angle Beam''', which allows R.O.B. to fire a less-powerful beam at wider angles. The second is '''Infinite Robo Beam''', which allows R.O.B. to fire the standard Robo Beam at any point, but it takes longer to charge the Super Robo Beam, the attack itself is weaker, and the laser can no longer bounce off walls.

Two custom variants for Arm Rotor are also available in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. The first is '''Reflector Arm''', which makes it easier to reflect projectiles as R.O.B.'s arms spin completely horizontally rather than at an angle, but R.O.B. can no longer move during the attack. The second is '''Backward Arm Rotor''', which has a shorter spin but allows the uppercut to happen more quickly.

'''Gyro''' is R.O.B.'s down special move, based on the gyro accessories that the actual R.O.B. uses to play ''[[wikipedia:Gyromite|Gyromite]]''. R.O.B. charges the attack by spinning the gyro in place on a stand, similar to how he uses an actual gyro; the charge can be stopped by using another button. Pressing the button again causes him to toss the gyro, the distance and power determined by how long it charged. After R.O.B. tosses the gyro and it lands on the ground, it spins in place for a time until it disappears; while it is active, opponents who run into the gyro receive damage as long as it is spinning. R.O.B. can pick up the active gyro, while opponents can catch it while it is in the air.

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', the Gyro's first custom variant is '''Fire Gyro''', which tosses a flaming gyro that deals more damage but does not travel as far. The second is '''Slip Gyro''', which tosses a gyro that spins across the ground and trips any opponents that are hit by it.

'''Diffusion Beam''' is R.O.B.'s [[Final Smash]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. R.O.B. shoots a constant beam from his eyes for the duration of the move that deals continuous damage to any nearby opponents and will occasionally shoot a blast of energy. R.O.B. is able to move freely, is invincible to damage and unaffected by knockback, and can use any of his other moves while this move is in use.

'''Super Diffusion Beam''' is R.O.B.'s Final Smash in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', replacing the original Diffusion Beam from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. R.O.B. transforms himself into a cannon and fires a laser that splits off and ends in four smaller branches. Opponents caught in the beam are trapped and take repeated damage. Once the beam dissipates, the opponents are stunned for a brief moment and R.O.B. fires a second beam that launches them away. The angle of the first beam can be adjusted with the control stick, but the second beam always fires directly ahead of R.O.B.
