'''R.O.B.''' (short for '''Robotic Operating Buddy'''), also called the '''Famicom Robot''' in Japan, was an accessory for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] (NES), intended to disguise it as a toy, rather than a video game, due to toy stores' avoidance of video games after the Video Game Crash of 1983.

[[R.O.B. (SSBB)|R.O.B.]] is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. There are also many R.O.B. enemies in the Subspace Emissary and he also appears when the [[Ancient Minister]]'s clothes are burned off. It sports its Japanese color scheme, being white and red like the Japanese Famicom, though one of its [[palette swap (SSBB)|alternate palettes]] is its North American design, being gray and black like the [[NES]]. It appears as the simple robot, without any specific accessory from its game configurations except for the hands, that are in fact its ''Stack-Up'' hands. It also uses a "Gyro" and the "Spinner" from its ''Gyromite'' configuration during its [[Gyro]] attack. Overall, the R.O.B. in ''Brawl'' looks more realistic than the actual toy.
