- —Spear-bot, Wario Land 3
Spear-bots[1] are robotic enemies in Wario Land 3. Spear-bots are very similar to Spearheads, who also use a sharp object from their fronts to harm Wario. However, Spear-bots keep their spears within their bodies until Wario is nearby, in which they will extrude it. They also move faster when they pursue Wario, and can even turn around if he is behind them. They have a similar appearance as Fire Robota and Beam Robota, who both have different weapons at their disposal.
Wario Land 3's manual gives Spear-bot a bit of a personality. The manual reveals that he has a rivalry with Spearhead (although it is unknown if this grudge is requited), and it also suggests that Spear-bot is a firm believer in the idea that mechanical beings are superior to organic ones. Finally, the manual states that Spear-bot is mass produced, although it is unknown where.
Spear-bots appear in the following levels, in the following quantities:
- The Peaceful Village (2)
- Bank of the Wild River (4)
- The Tidal Coast (9)
- Desert Ruins (3)
- Cave of Flames (10)
- The Stagnant Swamp (6)
- The Colossal Hole (1)
