'''Robo Beam''' ({{ja|ロボビーム|Robobīmu}}, ''Robo Beam'') is [[R.O.B.]]'s [[neutral special]] move. The attack is a small pink laser that does a small amount of damage (normally 5%) and has decent stun capabilities. The shots can be angled up or down and reflect off of walls and floors. It should also be noted that this attack does not stop when it hits an opponent, allowing the player to hit multiple foes. R.O.B. must wait 1 second for the laser to recharge, or R.O.B. will shoot a weak, short-range laser. When the laser is charged, the red light on R.O.B.'s head will begin to flash. Kirby also has this property when he copies R.O.B. There are actually two levels of charge; if the beam is left alone for 20 seconds, it will become the '''Super Robo Beam'''. Super Robo Beam is much stronger and thicker and has increased range (enough to travel all the way across any stage), though it is significantly slower than a normal Robo Beam. If used at a very close range, the beam will do higher, [[flame]] type damage, starting at 9%. 

In the [[Subspace Emissary]], [[R.O.B. Blaster]]s use a purple Robo Beam, although it is shorter and cannot be charged.

==Customization==
Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the known variations:
# '''Wide-Angle Beam''': Slightly longer [[startup]], but an increased trajectory angle that allows R.O.B. to aim the move almost vertically, and deals less damage in favor of a piercing ability.
# '''Infinite Robo Beam''': Always can fire a charged laser, but takes longer to charge to a Super Robo Beam, the damage is less, the startup is slightly longer, and the laser loses its ability to bounce off of walls.

==Origin==
While the move is obviously unique to ''Smash Bros.'', the flashing red light on R.O.B.'s head when the Robo Beam is charged is a throwback to when the red light flashed to indicate that [[R.O.B.]] was ready for use with the {{s|nwiki|NES}}. The fact that it is shot from R.O.B.'s eyes could also reference the peripheral being able to track the screen with laser sensors (similar to the {{s|nwiki|NES Zapper}} and [[Super Scope]] light guns) in it's eyes.

==Trivia==
*When the beam is uncharged, R.O.B.'s arms will be down instead of facing straight forward.

-==Overview==
+In the [[Subspace Emissary]], [[R.O.B. Blaster]]s use a purple Robo Beam, although it is shorter and cannot be charged.
-When uncharged, the attack is a thin, red laser that does a small amount of damage (normally 5%) and has decent hitstun. It can be angled up or down and ricochets off of walls and floors, though it will stop if it hits a wall head-on. The laser will penetrate any targets it hits for its lifetime. R.O.B. must wait 1 second for the laser to recharge, or else he will shoot a short-ranged burst that can only hit opponents at point-blank range. Despite its significantly shorter range, the uncharged version deals more damage than the standard Robo Beam.
-When the laser is charged, the red light on R.O.B.'s head will begin to flash rapidly. Kirby also has this property when he copies R.O.B. There are actually two levels of charge: the aforementioned standard "charge", and the '''Super Robo Beam''', which charges if the beam is left alone for 20 seconds. Super Robo Beam is much stronger and thicker and has increased range (enough to travel all the way across any stage), though it is significantly slower than a normal Robo Beam. If used at a very close range, the beam will do stronger [[flame]] damage, starting at 9%.
-In [[The Subspace Emissary]], [[R.O.B. Blaster]]s use a purple Robo Beam, although it is shorter and cannot be charged.

+While the move is obviously unique to ''Smash Bros.'', the flashing red light on R.O.B.'s head when the Robo Beam is charged is a throwback to when the red light flashed to indicate that [[R.O.B.]] was ready for use with the {{s|nwiki|NES}}.

-Robo Beam is virtually identical in function (including the ricochet) to the {{s|wikirby|Laser}} [[copy ability]] from the [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' series]]. R.O.B. has no relation to the ''Kirby'' franchise (outside of a guest appearance in ''Kirby's Dream Land 3''), but this move is likely to have been an idea incorporated by ''Kirby'' creator and ''Super Smash Bros.'' director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] when putting together R.O.B.'s moveset. While the real-life [[R.O.B.]] toy never had the ability to fire lasers, the flashing red LED on R.O.B.'s head being an indicator of Robo Beam's charge is a throwback to when the red light flashed to indicate that R.O.B. was ready for use with the {{s|nwiki|NES}}.
