Guided Robo Beam (誘導ロボビーム,Guided Robo Beam) isR.O.B.'sFinal Smash inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Overview[edit]
When activated, R.O.B. transforms into a laser cannon and fires a series of small lasers that home in on opponents that are close enough to him. These lasers have knockback angles that are meant to drag opponents in front of R.O.B., in preparation for the main laser. R.O.B then unleashes a green laser that can be slowly angled up or down. After a couple of seconds the laser performs a final blow by growing larger, about the size ofSamus'Zero Laser, and sends opponents flying. While the homing lasers are meant to forcibly position opponents in front of R.O.B, the bulk of the Final Smash can be avoided simply by standing a distance behind him.
Instructional Quotes[edit]
| R.O.B. automatically locks on to multiple opponents, then fires homing lasers at them. Finish the attack by shooting a giant beam that hits multiple targets. The angle of the beam can be adjusted up or down. |
Origin[edit]
Guided Robo Beam is a completelySmash original, having no equivalent inGyromite orStack-Up, the only two games that are compatible with R.O.B. The Beam aspect of the move is very loosely adapted from theOptoelectronic technology used by R.O.B. and theZapper to communicate with games.

Trivia[edit]
- This is the first of R.O.B's Final Smashes not to have the name "Diffusion" in it.
- If Guided Robo Beam is used on 10 or moreIce Climbers, the beam will glitch out and become invisible.
- The challenge "Dharkon", unlocked by winning the battle againstDharkon, shows a screenshot of R.O.B. using the Guided Robo Beam against Dharkon. However, it is not possible to achieve without the use of mods or hacks since Final Smashes will not appear in any boss battles.
- The animation R.O.B. performs when using Guided Robo Beam is nearly identical to how he performedSuper Diffusion Beam, his Final Smash inSSB4. This suggests Guided Robo Beam was built off the previous Final Smash, as evident by this and how R.O.B. has scripts for Super Diffusion Beamcarried over from the previous game, albeit lying in dormancy like the gliding code fromBrawl.
