Mobo

Mobo (or Spike in the NA original release) is the younger brother of Robo and one half of the Bonanza Bros.

Appearance
Mobo is short and squat with yellow skin. His hands are shaped like that of a LEGO toy, being a smooth clamp like shape. His face is mostly featureless apart from a nose that holds his rectangular sunglasses up. HIs body has a plastic like quality to it.

Mobo wears a blue sleeveless shirt, with what appears to be a white cravat, black pants and shoes although he lacks any legs, and his body appears to float above his feet. He is rarely seen without his megaphone shaped gun.

Some artwork has Mobo looking more like a regular human complete with ears, a mouth, eyebrows, legs, regular hands and a more peach colored skin tone. In this version he has a scar on his cheek and buck teeth.

History
Mobo and his brother are contacted one day for a big job. Badville needs cleaning up and cleaning out, and only the Bonanza Bros. are said to have the skills to steal all the valuables from the corrupt individuals running the city.

Their crime spree takes them first to the bank, followed by a mansion, a casino, the mint, a department store, an underground vault, a jewelry store, a laboratory, a luxury liner, an antique shop and a pyramid.

Later Mobo and Robo appear as playable racers in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. When their All-Star move is used Mobo summons their blimp, leaps into it and throws bombs from above at the other racers.

The brothers do not return in the sequel, but appear as a cameo hologram in the Race of Ages track.

Trivia

 * Mobo is always the Player 2 character, despite appearing in the top screen.
 * Despite this the Master System version, being only single player, will allow the player to pick between Mobo and Robo in the options screen.
 * According to the Master System booklet, Mobo is easily offended at being thought of as incompetent
 * The Master System booklet also states Mobo is the slower witted of the two brothers
 * The NA Genesis version of Bonanza Bros. has Mobo and Robo work as security officers instead of thieves and the whole thing is to test the quality of the security in these places. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing rectifies this by saying they are thieves.
 * In the home console versions Robo is the driver and Mobo is the passenger that performs the All Star move, but in the DS version Mobo is the driver and Robo takes over All Star duties. Due to DS limitations Robo does not appear in the car with Mobo during gameplay, only appearing when the All Star move begins.
