The Robobot Armor was introduced and has its most prominent role in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', where it can be obtained in many stages after either defeating an [[Invader Armor]] or finding it docked in a Robobot Armor station (or sometimes just laying out in the open). Kirby can enter the suit simply by touching it, whereupon it changes to a pink hue with a friendlier design and acquires whichever two [[Sticker (Kirby: Planet Robobot)|stickers]] the player has picked on its arms. Kirby gains access to a new set of moves and techniques while piloting the Robobot Armor, and also acquires a new set of physics and limitations. The Robobot Armor is needed in order to progress through certain parts of the game, and is also required to collect many optional goodies such as stickers and [[Code Cube]]s. However, despite its immense firepower, it is not used to fight any level [[boss]]es prior to [[Mind in the Program]], though it is used to fight specific mid-stage bosses such as [[Gigavolt]] and [[C.O.G.S.]]. Once Kirby has entered the Robobot Armor, he cannot exit unless he leaves the stage or uses a docking station.

The Robobot Armor is modular with thirteen of Kirby's regular Copy Abilities (with each mode listed in a table below this section). Which each mode is simpler in terms of moveset than Kirby's equivalent abilities, they are in almost all cases much more powerful, and many of them are capable of tackling specific stage hazards and devices. The Robobot Armor is also able to generally break through heavier blocks and defeat enemies that Kirby alone would not be able to. There are also a handful of devices, such as gated [[door]]s and Screw Switches, which only the Robobot Armor can engage with. Notably, however, the Robobot Armor is never used on or in [[water (environment)|water]], and it is not even possible under intended circumstances to get the armor to a body of water at all in a stage.

At the very end of the Story Mode, in Mind in the Program, Kirby is given one last suit of Robobot Armor by [[Susie]], who instructs Kirby to use it to stop [[Star Dream]] from ending the universe. Using this suit, Kirby combines with [[Meta Knight]]'s [[Halberd]] to form the mighty [[Halberd Mode]] and then takes to outer space to fight the mad computer. After Star Dream is defeated, all of its works are undone, including the Robobot Armor. Before this happens, however, the Robobot Armor acts on its own accord to deliver an unconscious Kirby back to Popstar and then "cries" coolant before vaporizing.

**Additionally, according to the same Ask-a-Thon, the Robobot Armor's memory data is one and the same through each of the individual armors Kirby piloted, meaning that it can be considered a singular entity.
