The series symbol for the Tomodachi universe seems to be loosely based on the house a couple owns after marriage, albeit with a slightly altered window. Treasure's description in Tomodachi Life clearly references his playability in Super Smash Bros.

- The problem with Tomodachi Life is that a lot of the entertainment from it comes from getting to experience all of your miis in wacky situations, but once the island has its first wedding and a baby is born and raised, you’ve pretty much seen everything there is to do.

- R.O.B., or Robotic Operating Buddy (Known as ROBOT or Family Computer Robot in Japan) Is a NES buddy you can play Gyromite or Stack-up with, he comes in the NES deluxe set with gyromite. He is also a smash figher, he sells in tomodachi life for$190.00, he is in tomodachi life as a treasure for.
- (full name Robotic Operating Buddy) is a robot that could substitute for a second player in the Nintendo Entertainment System games Stack-Up and Gyromite. The short-lived accessory did not prove to be popular, leading Nintendo to cancel it. In the following years R.O.B. Would remain alive in Nintendo's video games, however, appearing as a unlockable playable character in Mario Kart DS.

In the wake of The Great Video Game Crash of 1983, Nintendo needed to give their upcoming console, the NES, an edge to make it attractive to market to leery vendors and customers alike. The answer came by packaging a toy and promoting the NES as your means of interacting with it (and could play other games on the side, ostensibly). The Robotic Operating Buddy, or R.O.B., was that toy, and it worked just enough for word-of-mouth to take over selling the systems. His role completed, the plucky little robot was quietly retired, but he continues to live on in the hearts of nostalgic fans and retro hobbyists alike.
In reality, R.O.B.'s only been formally compatible with two games — Gyromite, his pack-in titlenote and Stack-Up. Both games star Professors Hector and Vector as they work together with R.O.B to bypass obstacles and achieve given win conditions, with most of the gameplay switching between controlling the professors and inputting instructions for R.O.B. to follow.

R.O.B.'s cameos
Although R.O.B.'s original purpose is fairly obscure nowadays, he is best known by fans for his myriad of cameos throughout several Nintendo games.- StarTropics: Nav-Com is essentially a purple-tinted R.O.B.
- Kirby's Dream Land 3: Appears alongside Professor Hector as a goal of a Heart Star mission.
- Star Fox series: ROB 64's English name is in honor of the original R.O.B. (In Japan, he's NUS 64 after the development name of the console he debuted on.) Also, the Direct-i drone introduced in Star Fox Zero bears a heavy resemblance to R.O.B.
- WarioWare: Appears in several microgames throughout the series, generally having to do with in-universe Nintendo enthusiast 9-Volt and his friends.
- F-Zero GX: Appears as a background element in the Port Town: Aero Dive track. This carries over to its appearance as a stage in Super Smash Bros..
- Pikmin 2: R.O.B.'s head along with several Stack-Up blocks are some of the obtainable treasures.
- Mario Kart DS: R.O.B. is a playable character, even including a kart based on Stack-Up.
- Super Smash Bros.: R.O.B. has been a playable character since Brawl. The Subspace Emissary story mode from Brawl prominently features R.O.B. models as enemies, and the titular Subspace Emissary turns out to be a R.O.B. himself.
- Tomodachi Life: Appears as an obtainable artifact in-game.
- The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D: R.O.B. appears in the Curiosity Shop, a cameo that was not featured in the original N64 release.
- amiibo: R.O.B. has received a figure based on his Smash Bros. appearance (in two different colors, Red Japanese Famicom and Grey Western NES), and a handful of other games have their own R.O.B. content tied to the figure:
- Super Mario Maker and Yoshi's Woolly World unlock R.O.B. costumes for their characters.
- In WarioWare Gold, R.O.B. is one of the characters that Wario can make a sketch of when the figure is scanned.
- Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash and Kirby: Planet Robobot also have R.O.B.-themed unlocks from the amiibo figure, but R.O.B. does not personally appear in those games.

- Awesome, but Impractical: As cool as it is to have a Robot Buddy to play games with, the simple truth of the matter is that R.O.B. is too slow and cumbersome to be a reliable partner. In Gyromite, it's far more effective to just push the buttons on the second controller yourself if you don't have another player to help you. Not to mention the peripheral only worked for two games anyway.
- Console Cameo: As a piece of hardware, R.O.B.'s appearances in later games qualify as this.
- Cute Machines: R.O.B. is a little robot with big eyes who plays video games.
- Endless Game: Both games just loop around to the beginning if you complete all their levels.
- Fake Difficulty: Gyromite's gimmick is that gyros need to be spun up and placed on pedals which will then depress one of the controller buttons, moving same-colored pillars in the game level. The timing of R.O.B.'s movements made this problematic in busier sections. It is perfectly possible to simply do this by hand, saving the player a lot of frustration.
- Fun with Acronyms:
- Robotic Operating Buddy, of course.
- Also, in his Pikmin appearance: Remembered Old Buddy.
- Genre Shift: Gyromite had side-scrolling platformer elements and Video-Game Lives; Stack-Up is shown from an overhead view and has no real lose condition.
- His Name Really Is 'Barkeep': R.O.B. has only ever been called 'Robot' in his homeland.
- Interface Screw: One enemy in Stack-Up, Flipper, depresses buttons as he hops across the playing field, possibly adding extra inputs for R.O.B. to follow if he completes a row.
- Labcoat of Science and Medicine: Both professors. What their field of study is, is never explained.
- Misbegotten Multiplayer Mode: An inversion. Given how it is structured, Gyromite is completely playable without the robot, turning what normally is a slow, cumbersome game into a frantic cooperative dash through the levels when played with a second person. Of course, then you'd have to worry about them being an asshole and squishing your player.
- Never Wake Up a Sleepwalker: Game B in Gyromite sees Professor Hector sleepwalking to the right, automatically climbing any ropes he finds. It's up to the player to keep him from blundering into Smicks or pillars.
- Palette Swap: The Famicom Robot is red and eggshell white, similar to the Famicom. The international R.O.B. is silver and grey, like the NES.
- Player Versus Player: Stack-Up's Bingo (2P) mode pits the professors against each other for control of R.O.B., fighting to get more blocks on their side of his platforms.
- Portmantitle: Gyro + Dynamite.
- Robot Buddy: When it's two-thirds of his full name, you'd expect this to be obvious.
- Scoring Points: Stack-Up's goals.
- Sir Cameos-a-Lot: R.O.B. was released with only two compatible games (Gyromite and Stack-Up) and was swiftly forgotten as the Nintendo Entertainment System took off in popularity. Nowadays, R.O.B. is best known for his cameos in multiple Nintendo games, including his playable appearances in Mario Kart DS and Super Smash Bros..
- Swiss Army Appendage: R.O.B.'s hands can either be claws meant for holding gyros or soft foam grips meant for holding blocks.
- Timed Mission: Gyromite's game modes make you lose a life if you run out of time; Stack-Up just penalizes you points.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Smicks love turnips and will stop chasing after the professors to chow down on one.
- Trojan Horse: The most famous one in video gaming.
- Unusual User Interface: R.O.B. himself. While undeniably an interesting piece of gaming history, his two games just highlight how impractical he really was as anything but a novelty.
- Zero Effort Game: Stack-Up is played entirely on the honor system, as the game has no way to verify if you've arranged the colored blocks properly. Once you input that you've satisfied the win conditions, bingo. You win.

Tomodachi Life R.o.b Game
Tomodachi Life in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Tomodachi Life in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tomodachi Life is a stage appearing in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. The stage is based upon the Mii apartments from the game of the same name. The stage takes place on the Mii apartments, featuring three levels with two rooms each and the roof; The room designs and Miis are different with each match, and the Miis inside the apartments are loaded from the system. Like Luigi's Mansion in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, if a player is not standing inside a room, only the outside of the building shows. The outside of the building acts as a dropoff. The Ω form of the stage takes place on the roof of the apartment. The stage reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The graphics are improved, and there are now trees and bushes on the roof. The stage's My Music library is now shared with Summit, Duck Hunt, Hanenbow, PictoChat 2, Living Room, Balloon Fight, Find Mii, Wrecking Crew, Pilotwings, and Wuhu Island. Songs[edit]
