Despite its short-lived status as a peripheral, R.O.B. has gone on to make many appearances in games. The first in-game appearance was a cameo in ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Dream Land 3}}''; in this game, there is a stage in which [[Kirby]] must complete puzzles in various rooms to collect pieces of R.O.B. for Professor Hector, R.O.B.'s creator in ''Gyromite'', so that R.O.B. can be rebuilt.

R.O.B.'s head appears as treasure in ''{{s|pikipedia|Pikmin 2}}'', and is known as the "{{s|pikipedia|Remembered Old Buddy}}". Similarly to how its head is a collectable treasure, R.O.B.'s status as a collectable is referenced in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D}}'', where it makes a cameo in his entirety in the {{s|zeldawiki|Curiosity Shop}}. However, it can only be seen to the right of the counter when looking from the backroom and cannot be purchased. Robotic cranes designed in R.O.B.'s image can be seen in the ''F-Zero GX'' course [[Port Town Aero Dive]], which can also be seen in the ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' stage of the same name.

''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart DS}}'' notably marked the debut of R.O.B. as a playable character; in this game, R.O.B. appears as an unlockable driver alongside three signature karts, one of which resembles the stand for ''Stack-Up''.<ref name=MarioKart>{{cite web|url=http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/mkds_j2e.shtml#rob|title=TMK - R.O.B. in Mario Kart DS}}</ref> Also in ''Brawl'', {{SSBB|R.O.B}} debuts as a playable fighter and has reappeared in every ''Smash'' release since.

The {{uv|Star Fox}} series in particular has been tied with R.O.B. closer than any other Nintendo series. {{iw|lylatwiki|ROB 64}} references R.O.B. both in name and as a robotic assistant, owing to his status as the pilot of the Great Fox, the Star Fox team's battleship and base of operations. On a related note, R.O.B. itself also appears as a boss in the ''Star Fox''-based levels in 9-Volt's stage in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''.

Lastly, ''Star Fox Zero'' and ''Star Fox Guard'' both feature robots that are almost identical to R.O.B. ''Zero'' features Direct-i, who is tethered to the Gyrowing and functions similarly to ROB 64 and R.O.B. itself by being an assistant to the player. Conversely, ''Guard'' features the A.T.K. Unit, which is one of the "combat class" robots in the game that threaten the player's mining facilities.
