Robo Pit is an arena fighter where you build your own mechanical gladiator. You get to choose the color, body, eyes, and legs for your robot. While most of these choices are just for show, the legs you pick do affect how fast and agile your fighter is, as well as its special attack.
Once you've created your robotic brawler, it's time to climb the ranks. To progress, you have to fight the robot that's occupying the rank above yours. When you beat them, you get an arm and can move up. The game continues like this until you've defeated all the other combatants. However, there are some surprises along the way. You can acquire different arms, from swords to cannons, which get faster and more effective the more you use them. There's also a "boss" robot that uses special weapons that only it has access to. Defeating these bosses gives you an advantage in the rest of your fights.
The arenas are simple but varied, offering different layouts and obstacles for cover or surprise attacks. The fighting is straightforward but effective. You use the left arm for square and circle attacks, the right arm for jumping, and the special attack triggers with the X button, which charges up as you use it more. Different weapons have their own ranges and timing, which improve as you master them.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a robot combat simulation game where players design and upgrade AI-controlled fighting machines for corporate-sponsored arena battles. Players strategically build and customize their robots, using parts from defeated opponents, to advance through a single-elimination tournament.
Story
Robo Pit History
The Robo Pit battles began in 2042 after all forms of physical violence against organic lifeforms were outlawed.
Wealthy corporations sponsor the development of advanced artificial intelligence fighting machines to battle each other. Triumphant corporations and robot creators gain prestige and profit.
Battle Regulations
Any traditional or experimental weapon system can be used in the single-bout battles. The only regulation is that the winning machine must remain functional at the end of the battle.
Advancement in the tournament is by elimination. Victorious robots can be upgraded with components from defeated competitors.
Your Invitation
You have been invited, in the strictest confidence, to construct a fighter to enter the Robo Pit. Details are attached.

Robot List
When you first enter the Robo Pit, your Robot List will contain only two Default Robots (RB RED and RB BLUE). You can use one of these well-balanced fighters to make your challenge.
To make your battles more interesting, see the section on Robot Making to construct your own custom Robots. As you create Robots, they will also be added to your Robot List.
Use the Directional Buttons to highlight one of the pre-created Robots from the Robot List. The information screen in the lower left will show that Robot's name, rank and current Weapon Arms.
Press the X Button to move the cursor to the small menu in the lower right. Press the X Button again to select OK to select that Robot, or press the Up/Down Directional Buttons to choose CH to change Weapon Arms (see page 10) or DEL to delete a Robot from your Robot List. Press the O Button to go back one screen.
After selecting a Robot, you can proceed to Fight, VS or other options.
Scrapping a Robot
While you're in the process of developing the perfect combination of parts and weapons, you may find it necessary to scrap one or more of your Robot designs. The Robot List can contain up to 10 custom Robots at one time.
To add additional Robots, you will have to delete some older ones. The default Robots can also be deleted to make space. Once you delete a Robot from the Robot List, you won't be able to access it again.
Robot Making
To create your own custom Robo Pit fighter, select Robot Making from the Main Menu. In the Robot Lab, you will select various components which will affect your fighter's speed and maneuverability in the Pit.
You can also customize your Robot by selecting colors, facial features and available weapon arms. Unfortunately for you, like all rookie Robo Pit fighters, you'll start with a minimal arsenal. Don't worry, you can add to your weapons by crushing your opponents and taking an arm as a trophy. Remember to save your creation to use in the main tournament.
Creating a Fighter
1. Enter the Name of your Robo Pit fighter using the Directional Buttons to scroll through the letters, X to select a letter, O to delete (a maximum of 10 letters).
2. Choose a Body type by using the Directional Buttons to scroll through the available body types, pressing X to select, O to cancel. Body types vary in power, weight and defense. Experiment with several before taking on the tournament's toughest.
3. Choose a Face type by scrolling through the available faces. Press X to select.
4. Choose a Base type by scrolling through the available base types, pressing X to select, O to cancel. Base types vary significantly in speed, turning ability and jumping height. The type of base you choose will affect your fighting style.
5. Choose two Weapon Arms by using the Directional Buttons to scroll through the available weapon arms, pressing X to select, O to cancel. Each weapon arm is different from the others in offensive strength and type of attack. Weapons also vary in skill value, which will increase when that weapon is used effectively in battle. You can exchange weapon arms between battles. As you win battles, you will obtain additional weapons.
You can change the colors of certain Robot parts by pressing the L1 or R1 buttons during the selection process. You can change the color of a weapon arm whenever you select that arm to use.
