{{Infobox Special Move
The '''Diffusion Beam''' is [[R.O.B. (SSBB)|R.O.B.]]'s [[Final Smash]]. R.O.B. shoots short-ranged whirling lasers out of his eyes (with almost no knockback), followed by some hard-hitting short lasers (with tremendous knockback). Similar to the [[Superspicy Curry]]. R.O.B. can move freely during the Final Smash. Being in the general area in front of R.O.B. causes damage that rises at a 2% damage rate and as long as R.O.B. is in front of an enemy, he will continue doing damage. The short-ranged laser has decent [[knockback]]. However, as the move has such a short range, it is one of the most easily avoided Final Smashes. However, it lasts for a decent time and renders R.O.B. invincible for the duration, resulting in somewhat of a chaos as he chases opponents around the stage, trying to catch them in the deadly vortex of his eye beams. He can also use [[R.O.B. (SSBB)#Moveset|his entire moveset]] (minus a few special moves) during the Final Smash.

The '''Diffusion Beam''' ({{ja|拡散ロボビーム|Kakusan Robo Bīmu}}, ''Diffusion Robo Beam'') is {{SSBB|R.O.B.}}'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
 
==Overview==
R.O.B. gains [[invincibility]] and shoots medium ranged whirling lasers out of his eyes (with almost no knockback), followed by some hard-hitting short lasers (with tremendous knockback). Similar to the [[Superspicy Curry]], R.O.B. can move freely during the Final Smash. Being in the general area in front of R.O.B. causes damage that rises at a 2% damage rate and as long as R.O.B. is in front of an enemy, he will continue doing damage. With the laser having good reach in front of R.O.B, in combination with the hitbox being continuous, the attack lasting a considerably long time for a Final Smash, and R.O.B. being free to move and pursue his opponents, it is often considered one of the most difficult Final Smashes to evade. R.O.B's ability to move during it results in some chaos as he chases opponents around the stage, trying to catch them in the deadly vortex of his eye beams.
 
He can also use [[R.O.B. (SSBB)#Moveset|his entire moveset]] (excluding [[Robo Beam]]) during the Final Smash, and can even use items and taunts without affecting its hitboxes.
 
==Origin==
While the move itself is original to ''Smash'', it takes inspiration from several [[Nintendo]] peripherals. Accessories such as R.O.B and the ''Zapper'' used light and laser technology to function, with R.O.B specifically detecting light changes on a screen to activate one of several actions.

|desc-ntsc=R.O.B.'s Final Smash. He emits a beam from his eyes that spreads across the spectrum and undulates in great variety as it travels. What makes this technique different is R.O.B.'s ability to move while using it. This allows him to use it in combination with his other moves to increase his Final Smash's effectiveness.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*For unclarified reasons, this Final Smash was not described on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!! (SSBB)|Smash Bros. DOJO!!]], making this the only Final Smash that was never covered by the DOJO!!.
*For some strange reason, this Final Smash is the only one that was not described on the DOJO.
*R.O.B. is the only character besides {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}} who can benefit from the [[Bridge of Eldin]] [[Regenerating terrain glitch|Final Smash glitch]], giving him a never ending Diffusion Beam (Jigglypuff's makes it remain huge).
*R.O.B. is the only character besides Jigglypuff who can benefit from the [[Bridge of Eldin]] Final Smash glitch, giving him a never ending Diffusion Beam (Jigglypuff's makes it remain huge). Although, in order to make this happen, the player must have R.O.B. get caught in the re-materialization of the Bridge during the close-up animation that starts the beam. If the player does it at any other time, R.O.B. will merely take damage, and waste the time of the Final Smash. Strangely, if you use it right as the bridge becomes solid, R.O.B. will be invincible and will make the noise of the Diffusion Beam, although he is not using it. However, using his Down B will make part of the beam reappear, which will be harmless. Using the gyro again will bring the beam back. If R.O.B. enters the negative zone with infinite Diffusion Beam he will take damage and suffer the Negative Zone's effects. If the Zone ends with R.O.B. sleeping, he will remain sleeping until the Negative Zone is used again on him and the effect is replaced.
*Even though R.O.B. can grab and use [[item]]s during this state, he cannot use items that activate on contact (i.e. {{b|Starman|item}}).
*Even though R.O.B. can use items during this state, he cannot use items that require the character to "pass through" them. (i.e. [[Starman (item)|Starman]])
*Because the lasers are emitted from R.O.B.'s eyes, they point in whichever direction his head is facing. This makes it possible to hit crouching enemies by also crouching, or hitting enemies above by using his side taunt (which makes him look upwards).
*Because of the way the beam works, it can become possible to cause damage with his taunts because they follow the direction his head moves in. [[Luigi]] and [[Snake]] share this quality, albeit being more convenient for them.
*The only Final Smashes (and quite possibly, the only [[attack]]s) that can damage R.O.B. during his Final Smash are Luigi's [[Negative Zone]] and Jigglypuff's [[Puff Up]] (during the shrinking part). The two Final Smashes cannot be used at the same time without exploiting glitches or hacking.
*If ROB tries to dodge roll through a smart bomb explosion during his final smash, he will take damage for a tad.
