Gyromite (also known as Robot Gyro) is a video game released in 1985 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, designed for use with the Robotic Operating Buddy. Gyromite is one of two games in Nintendo's Robot Series, the other being Stack-Up.
Plot
Professor Hector and his assistant, Professor Vector, navigate side-scrolling platform levels with the help of their creation, R.O.B. Their lives are threatened by dynamite and hungry little lizards called Smicks, and Professor Hector's sleep-walking tendencies get him in trouble as well.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
This game was the first with the inclusion of the Robotic Operating Buddy, also known as Robot in Japan and R.O.B. in the Americas. R.O.B. is an unlockable playable character, although he was graphically enhanced while wheels and jetpacks were also added on. Gyro (R.O.B's down move) was based on a top thing from the game and the move was also named after the game.
