- "The whispering of the Robo-Pump counts down to an explosion. You have three turns to take it out before it throws a bomb. Use your special PSI attack and Freeze, or attack it with your regular fighting option."
- — EarthBound Player's Guide
The Robo-Pump is an enemy that appears in EarthBound. It is first encountered by Ness and Jeff in Moonside, and later appears inside Dungeon Man
Description[]
Its overworld sprite resembles a fire, and its in-battle appearance is that of a drowsy gas pump. It often hangs around Enraged Fire Plugs, who share the same overworld sprite.
Battle[]
The Robo-Pump has high offense and defense, and will spend the first few turns counting down to a bomb toss, which deals moderate-to-high explosive damage. It can also "replenish a fuel supply", which works much like Lifeup γ. Robo-Pumps waste turns saying "tick-tock". When defeated, it occasionally drops a Super Bomb.
Trivia[]
- Cuddle Bombs in Mother 3 have an attack that mimics the countdown text of the Robo-Pumps.
