R.O.B. is a playable character in the Brawl mod Project M.

Attributes

Changes from Brawl to PM

• Down aerial is more mobile and has more flexibility.
• The time required to fully charge Robo Beam has been shortened.
• Gyro now shoots out with significantly less velocity, greatly enhances its uses for stage control, and also allowing R.O.B. to pick it up quicker.
• Gyro shooting out with significantly less velocity hinders its ability to be used at long range, and making it much less effective at camping.
• Has a helpless animation for his air dodge, in which he falls looking down while flicking his arms slowly.
• Up aerial is an eyeblast, similar to his forward smash, that arcs quickly over his head, dealing 15% damage with an electric effect.
• Robo Burner and aerial Arm Rotors have been replaced with Robo-Booster. R.O.B. can quickly boost himself sideways or upwards. He can boost three times before he must land, and landing replenishes all his boosts instantly. Grabbing the edge will only give him one boost back if he has run out. R.O.B.'s grounded Arm Rotor is similar to its Brawl incarnation, but moves him forward more quickly, and always aims diagonally downwards instead of having a changeable angle.

In terms of cosmetics, R.O.B. now has an alternate costume designed to look like a fusion of the Robotic Operating Buddy and the Virtual Boy.

Trivia

• If you look inside the lenses of the Virtual Boy R.O.B., you can vaguely see a moment from the original Mario's Tennis.
