## How Robin joined the Tourney

Dick Grayson was an 8-year-old acrobat, the youngest of a family act called the "Flying Graysons". A gangster named Boss Zucco who had been extorting money from the circus killed Grayson's parents, John and Mary, by sabotaging their trapeze equipment as a warning against defiance. Batman investigated the crime and, as his alter ego billionaire Bruce Wayne, had Dick put under his custody as a legal ward. Together they investigated Zucco and collected the evidence needed to bring him to justice. From his debut appearance in 1940 through 1969, Robin was known as the Boy Wonder. Batman creates a costume for Dick, consisting of a red tunic, yellow cape, green gloves, green boots, green spandex briefs, and a utility belt. As he grew up, graduated from high school and enrolled in Hudson University, Robin continued his career as the Teen Wonder, from 1970 into the early 1980s. The character was re-discovered by a new generation of fans during the 1980s because of the success of The New Teen Titans, in which he left Batman's shadow entirely to assume the identity of Nightwing. He aids Batman throughout the later storyline regarding the several conflicts with Jason Todd until he makes his final return as the "Red Hood". Grayson temporarily took over as Batman (while Wayne was traveling through time), using the aid of Damian Wayne, making his newish appearance as "Robin", to defeat and imprison Todd. With Bruce Wayne's return, Grayson went back to being Nightwing.

## Trivia

* Robin was actually the fourth member of the Teen Titans to be confirmed playable for Super Smash Bros. Tourney, despite being the leader. He was confirmed after Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven.
* The announcer has a special callout for Robin, Mewtwo, Micaiah, Ridley, Krystal, Jody Summer, King K. Rool, and Bowser Jr. in this game, but this was proven false when the announcer was changed from Pat Cashman to Herman Sanchez (Sally Cahill in the sequel). Likewise, Robin is the only DC Universe character to have a special Pat Cashman callout.
* Robin's Super Smash Bros. Tourney rival is the Hidden Leaf Village genin shinobi, Naruto. His second rival goes by the name of Lord Gohda.
* On the Character Select Screen, Robin says "Who is Slade? Who is Slade?". He may be referring to the unlockable character named Deathstroke.
