| Arm Rotor / Robo-Booster || 2% (per hit) 0% (air) || Arm Rotor: R.O.B. spins with his arms outstretched, hitting multiple times. This attack can also reflect any incoming projectiles that hit the outstretched arms. The move can be bit difficult to use as a reflector, as there is bit of delay before R.O.B. starts to spin his arms, thus requiring more accurate timing than the other faster reflectors.

Robo-Booster: R.O.B boosts himself forward. This move can used up to three consecutive times without touching the ground. Even after using all three three boosts, R.O.B. can still perform a midair jump if one hasn't been consumed. However, he cannot perform an air dodge. Using any aerial attacks during each boost increases their damage.

*R.O.B.'s console-based alternate costumes contain some Easter eggs:
**If one looks inside the lenses of the Virtual Boy costume, one can vaguely see a moment from the original ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario's Tennis}}''. Additionally, on the base of the costume, one can see the current phone number of Nintendo of America.
**If one looks inside the lenses of the Virtual Boy costume, one can vaguely see a moment from the original ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario's Tennis}}''. Additionally, on the base of the costume, one can see the current phone number of Nintendo of America.
**If R.O.B. gets hit while wearing the Wii alternate costume, a ''Brawl'' disc will pop out.
***The [[Robo Beam]] fired from the Virtual Boy costume (as of ''Project+'' version 2.5) has a red-and-black coloration, likely in reference to the very system's infamous limited color palette.
**R.O.B.'s secret Nintendo 64 costume features a copy of the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' inserted.
**If R.O.B. gets hit while wearing his secret GameCube costume, the cover will open up and reveal a copy of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' inside.
**If R.O.B. gets hit while wearing one of his Wii alternate costumes, a different Wii disc will pop out.
***For his white Wii costume, a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' disc will pop out.

*Although there are several characters who cannot fall helpless in ''Brawl'', R.O.B. was the only one to not have a helpless state animation present in ''Brawl's'' files (the game will freeze if the player accesses R.O.B.'s helpless form). With the reintroduction of ''Melee's'' air dodging, R.O.B. now sports a custom made helpless animation in which he slowly waves his arms in a circle to the sides of him as he looks down.
