"I know what you were thinking: You were tentatively looking forward to April 3's The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, but you just weren't convinced it was going to feature your all-time favorite character, R.O.B. the Robot. Well break out the ticket purchases, because as Nintendo attempts to throw every last scrap of shit at the wall, ol' Robby's going to be in there too. A fact that has been leaked by his teensy appearance in a forthcoming tie-in toy set."
"A whole bunch of Super Mario Galaxy Movie merch has been announced just recently, due to go on sale in the first week of April. There's a six-inch Yoshi egg complete with chatty Yoshi inside, already up for pre-order in the UK at an eye-watering £60 ($81), alongside a Bowser Castle Playset and star-shaped launchers that kwa-ping characters into your eye."
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will include R.O.B. the Robot, revealed via a small appearance in a forthcoming tie-in toy set. Extensive movie merchandise will debut in early April, including a six-inch Yoshi egg with a talking Yoshi priced around £60 ($81), a Bowser Castle Playset, and star-shaped launchers. R.O.B. originally debuted as an NES peripheral in 1985 and later appeared in Super Mario RPG, WarioWare titles, Mario Kart DS, and Super Smash Bros., though not in Super Mario Galaxy. The film's marketing emphasizes nostalgic franchise references and colorful fanservice over a clear, cohesive plot.
