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}}. | Robo Beam is virtually identical in function (including the ricochet) to the {{s|wikirby|Laser}} [[copy ability]] from the [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' series]].
