Robomb: Difference between revisions

A '''Robomb'''<ref>''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', string in ROM (filename <tt>gameplayconfigfiles\robomb.config</tt> etc)</ref>, or '''Strobomb'''<ref>[[Luigi's Mansion Arcade]] in-game dialogue: "If you run into a lot of ghosts up ahead, don't be afraid to use your Strobombs!"</ref>, is an object found in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' and ''[[Luigi's Mansion Arcade]]''. First encountered in the [[Old Clockworks]], Robombs activate when [[Luigi]] uses the [[Strobulb]] on them. Upon activation, they pursue Luigi and then explode, causing 20 [[Heart Point|HP]] of damage to Luigi if he is hit. The explosion can also stun any [[ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghost]]s caught in it. Some Robombs malfunction; this is indicated by a different startup sound, red electric sparks around them, and the way they behave. Malfunctioning Robombs first run into place, then charge into Luigi. [[Greenie]]s use these objects to hide from the Strobulb flashes. Luigi can also find an occasional '''Gold Robomb'''.<ref>''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', string in ROM's code binary (<tt>Robomb_Gold</tt>)</ref> Gold Robombs act just as malfunctioning bombs, except they run much quicker and explode in contact with furniture. They release 25 [[bill]]s or five [[Gold Bar]]s when they are destroyed. In the [[ScareScraper]], they are occasionally released from inspecting furniture or using the [[Dark-Light Device]] on [[painting]]s. Gold Robombs also appear as items in ''Luigi's Mansion Arcade'', where they are referred to as Strobombs. Each player gets three to use at the beginning of each level, and they can be used to stun all ghosts onscreen.
