Sukapon was made by Dr. Little Emon and Dr. Ivan Walnuts. When Dr. Walnuts declared his intent to rule the world, Dr. Emon used Sukapon to defeat Dr. Walnuts's robots and stop his evil scheme. After an epic battle on the moon and a change of heart by Dr. Walnuts (apparently due to a split-personality), Sukapon returned to a career as a stand-up comedian.

Sukapon is the most basic robot playable in Joy Mech Fight with the most basic of attacks, and so it is mostly played by newcomers and those looking for a challenge. Its specials consist of a suplex-like throw, a rolling attack which can be executed in a variety of ways (including a glowing, powerful jump-attack if a secret input is quickly pressed), and two head-tossing moves: one of which can be used for movement, and one of which is a projectile. Its most distinctive feature is that it has the same speed whether walking forward or backward; though a relatively slow speed going forward, it is rather fast for backing up.
Sukapon is a tricky character, with a moveset slightly unconventional and many ways to keep the opponent guessing. Without stage corners, mobility and pressure become vital, to the point where many characters have potent options for both. Everyone has at least one special move to approach foes or apply ranged pressure; Sukapon has two: Sukapon Roll and Konnanirahen, both of which have extra possible inputs for more options. Sukapon Roll charges towards the opponent and can either spring Sukapon forward, stop all momentum, or use a strict motion input to make a sharp arc for extra but randomized damage. It can be done in the air too, changing arcs based on vertical momentum. Konnanirahen sends Sukapon's head out as a long-range attack, and Sukapon can either allow it to return or slide towards it. Sukapon also has a deceptively-far reaching overhead toss as well as Tondeker, a projectile with adjustable speed via lateral inputs. Sukapon's damage output is average at best, though is regarded as lacking overall due to slow movement, floaty jump, and said movement specials being rather bad as attacks. Sukapon's low gravity leaves it open against many characters after the roll connects, and the head-tossing move Konnanirahen is powerful, but slow.
 
Every one of the original eight robots has an advanced clone. Sukapon's clone, Sukapokon, has a more aggressive playstyle and is considered among the best in the game. Each of the clone enemies are stronger and faster than their base counterparts, as well as having more knockdown attacks. Sukapokon Roll knocking down makes it far more useful despite its lower blockstun. Lastly, Konnanirahen is replaced with Nonsense, a rapid-punch attack borrowed from another character who bears some similarities to Sukapon.

Sukapon appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''Ultimate'', moving around the stage while twirling with raised arms, and can jump with flailing hands whenever. Sukapon attacks by using three special moves: Tondeker, a head-tossing projectile; Sukapon Toss, a close-range throw; and Sukapon Roll, a spinning charge with a long rebound. Sukapon can also block attacks just like in ''Joy Mech Fight'', but is still vulnerable to grabbing. Sukapon has small black dots for eyes but has a circle surrounding the dot when attacked and on the Tondeker head projectile, giving off a surprised expression. The Assist Trophy does a little dance before vanishing, a reference to the ''Joy Mech Fight'' victory animation. Like many Assist Trophies in ''Ultimate'', Sukapon can be defeated. [[Training Mode]] describes the Assist Trophy: ''Spins around and tackles opponents, occasionally chucking its own head.''
Sukapon appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''Ultimate''. It moves around the stage while spinning around with its arms raised and can jump, flailing its hands whenever airborne. It attacks by using its special move, Tondeker, which shoots a copy of its head at opponents. It uses a second special move, Sukapon Toss, where it uses a close command grab then tosses opponents backward. It also uses a third special move, Sukapon Roll, where it rolls its whole body forward fast, then continues to spin when rebounding off opponents. Sukapon can also block attacks just like in ''Joy Mech Fight'', but is still vulnerable to grabbing. Sukapon has small black dots for eyes but will have a circle surrounding the dot when attacked or in its Tondeker head projectile, giving off a surprised expression. It claps its hands and moves its feet side to side when finished, a reference to its victory animation in ''Joy Mech Fight''. Like many Assist Trophies in ''Ultimate'', it can be defeated. [[Training Mode]] describes its Assist Trophy: ''Spins around and tackles opponents, occasionally chucking its own head.''
 
Sukapon is also a Legend-class [[spirit]], available in the [[Spirit Board]] or in the shops. Its spirit fight is a stamina battle against [[Mii Gunner (SSBU)|Mii Gunner]] (meant to represent Dr. Little Emon<ref>https://twitter.com/NintendoVS/status/1080962036572532738</ref>), whose attack power periodically increases, on [[Coliseum]], with Sukapon constantly appearing as a hostile Assist Trophy.

Sukapon also appears as a Legend-class [[primary spirit]].
 
The Sukapon Spirit Battle uses a {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}} puppet fighter wearing a Bear Hat and Bear Suit (meant to represent Dr. Little Emon<ref>https://twitter.com/NintendoVS/status/1080962036572532738</ref>) and is fought on the [[Coliseum]] stage. The stage represents the Stadium, which serves as the first stage featured in the story mode of ''Joy Mech Fight''. The music track is based on the medley of theme songs from ''Clu Clu Land'', which was released alongside ''Joy Mech Fight'' on the NES. During the stamina battle, Sukapon appears as a hostile Assist Trophy while the puppet fighter's attack power increases after a little while.
