R.O.B. (Famicom) - number 54
R.O.B. (Famicom Color) amiibo – Super Smash Bros. Series
In Japan the character is known as Family Computer Robot. In North America and Europe the name is R.O.B. which stands for Robotic Operating Buddy. The Famicom colored variant reflects the Japanese hardware design. The amiibo was released in July 2015 in Japan and in September 2015 in Europe and North America.
This amiibo supports read and write functionality. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U it creates a Figure Player that can be trained and saved to the figure. The same applies to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Nintendo Switch. The fighter gains experience up to level 50. Behavior shifts over time depending on match exposure. Adjustments are written directly to the amiibo.
The design follows the Famicom palette. The body is white with strong red accents on the head casing and arm sections. The eyes appear blue within a horizontal visor panel. Both mechanical arms extend slightly forward with open grippers. The head remains centered. The pose reflects the neutral idle stance used in Super Smash Bros. It suggests readiness rather than a specific attack animation.
R.O.B. originates from the 1985 peripheral released for the Family Computer in Japan and later for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was bundled with Gyromite and Stack Up. The device responded to light signals from the television screen and moved physical accessories. Within Nintendo history the robot represents a period when the company introduced the NES as an entertainment system. The character returned decades later as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Brawl where hovering movement and projectile tools defined the moveset.
On Nintendo 3DS and Wii U the amiibo stores fighter training data for Super Smash Bros. On Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros. Ultimate expands this system with Spirit support that modifies attributes. In Mario Kart 8 for Wii U scanning unlocks a R.O.B. themed Mii Racing Suit. The same unlock appears in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Nintendo Switch. In additional compatible titles the figure typically grants small bonuses or cosmetic content depending on the software.
The value of the R.O.B. Famicom Color amiibo lies in its combination of function and historical reference. It operates as a persistent Smash fighter while visually connecting to early Nintendo hardware design. The color variation distinguishes it from the grey NES version although gameplay features remain identical. Its purpose centers on stored progress and repeated interaction across supported systems.

Blathers
The Blathers amiibo is part of the Animal Crossing figure series released during the broader rollout of Nintendo’s amiibo platform. Each figure combines a small collectible sculpture with an NFC chip inside the base. When placed on a compatible reader, the console reads the character ID stored in the figure. In practice this allows certain games to reference the character directly. The Blathers amiibo mainly provides access to appearances of the museum curator or small character related features inside supported Animal Crossing titles.
