Nuclear Reactor Robot

The Nuclear Reactor Robot (, Super Energy Robo) is an enemy that appears in EarthBound Beginnings (as SuperEnergy), EarthBound, and Mother 3. This enemy is located near or in the final location in all 3 games. It is located in Mt. Itoi, The Cave of the Past, and in the Laboratory Level of the Empire Porky Building respectively. It is an upgraded version of the Atomic Power Robot, but shares its moves with it.
== EarthBound Beginnings ==
=== Groups with ===
* Megaborg
* Juana
== EarthBound ==
=== Groups with ===
* Ultimate Octobot
* Ghost of Starman
* Final Starman
=== Attacks ===
* Replenished a fuel supply - The Nuclear Reactor Robot fully heals itself or one of the enemies.
* Fires a beam - The Nuclear Reactor Robot fires a beam dealing damage to one party member.
=== Strategy ===
* They explode upon being defeated, dealing damage to the party, so taking them down last during a battle is recommended.
** Pressing A after it explodes to skip the dialogue faster also helps, since this will make the battle end sooner and will avoid that the party takes further damage.
* Poo's Mirror ability can be used to copy the Nuclear Reactor Robot's healing behavior. This will completely restore a randomly-selected party member's HP with no PP cost.
== Mother 3 ==
If the player turns the Robot around by either encountering it from behind or using items (like Duster's Siren Beetle or a Made-You-Look), and then follows up with a physical attack, the robot's explosive device will be destroyed, preventing it from exploding on defeat.
== Trivia ==
* Their form in Mother 3 differs from that of EarthBound, suggesting a new version was made since the last game.
* In Mother 3, its battle sound is Battle Sound 59, a battle sound used only by mushrooms and exploding robots, which falls under Code Numbers 936 for regular attack, 937 for Smaaaash! and 938 for Miss. Like the Atomic Power Robot, Kumatora's Brainshock is required to get it to use its battle sound as it never uses a battle sound inducing regular attack on its own.
* In the companion guide, it is called "Super Energy" in Mother, "SuperEnergy" in EarthBound Beginnings, and "NuclearRobot" in Mother 1 + 2, confirming that this enemy is the equivalent to EarthBound's.
** Their description reads, "It's basically the same thing as an Energy Robo, except this little guy appears alongside such robots as Suzy. Just as powerful as the partner is the follow-up. Plus, the explosion when you destroy it is that much more devastating. Makes its appearance on Holy Loly Mountain.".
