The real R.O.B. for the NES, setup in its Stack-up configuration.
R.O.B. (short for Robotic Operating Buddy) was an accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System. In Japan, it was known as the Famicon Robot.
R.O.B. is also (surprisingly) a playable character in Mario Kart DS. In the game, he is one of the heaviest characters. Only Bowser is his equal. R.O.B.’s symbol is the NES D-Pad. R.O.B. has two original karts: the ROB-BLS and the ROB-LGS. His karts are fast, heavy, and have wider handling. R.O.B. is the fourth non-Mario character to appear in the Mario Kart series. In Mario Kart Arcade GP, three Pac-Man characters appear: Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Blinky.
R.O.B. is also the subject of many entries in the WarioWare series, specifically in 9-Volt's games.
