Based on frogs, the Ribots are small Badniks with green and silver armor. They have a small pair of eyes and footrests. Most noticeably, they carry round weights attached to their heads by chains. They either carry a single one on top of their heads or two on both sides of their heads.
Overview
Ribots are only encountered in Launch Base Zone. Here, they remain in stationary positions either on the ground or on red support structures where they repeat their attack patterns constantly.
The different types of Ribots.
The Ribots have can one of three attacks patterns which is determined by the number of weights they carry. When carrying two weights, the Ribots either pound the ground from above or sweep the ground with both weights. When carrying only one weight, the Ribbots swing their weight through the air in a circular arc. Touching the Ribots' weight anyhow will inflict damage, so look out for their attack patterns. The Ribots themselves can be defeated with a Spin Jump.
