== Charactah Account ==
R.O.B. is an Ancient Minister, overseeing his world with Master Hand. But when Tabuu possessed the latter, his fellow robots were forced to manufacture Subspace Bombs to expand his empire. The Ancient Minister watched in horror as he was unable to do anything about it, and in the end, he was all that remained of his kind.
R.O.B. was a real-world game peripheral with slow, limited movement and his one playable in-game appearance before Brawl was as a racer in Mario Kart DS. In the Super Smash Bros. series, he can move significantly faster, can perform movements the real-world peripheral could not, is equipped with rocket boosters and laser beams, and can weaponize Gyromite discs.
R.O.B can charge up and launch a top from Gyromite. It stays in place and damages any other player who touches it. R.O.B. can move over and pick it back up to throw it again. The charge time determines how long the top remains spinning.
