Mobo Bonanza,[1] known as Spike Bonanza[2] in the North American Genesis version, is the younger brother of Robo and one half of the Bonanza Bros., and the character Player 2 controls.

Appearance[]

Mobo is short and squat with orange skin. His hands are shaped like that of a LEGO minifigure, 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. He wears a blue sleeveless shirt, with what appears to be a white cravat, black pants and shoes. Like all characters in the Bonanza Bros. series, he lacks any legs, meaning his body floats 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[]

  • According to the manual of the U.S. Gold home computer ports, Mobo is described as being more brawny and dimwitted than his older brother.[1]
  • The North American Genesis version of Bonanza Bros. has Mobo and Robo work as security officers instead of thieves, and their mission is to test the security of various establishments. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing rectifies this by saying they are thieves.
  • In the home console versions of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing, 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.
  • Mobo and Robo make a cameo appearance in one of the minigames in the PS2 port of Puzzle & Action: Tant-R, where they are seen in a bar talking to the 1P detective.
