Tutorial Bot is a robot created by The Collector. He is the only bot of his model known to exist.

This is a robot built specifically for the purpose of tutorials. He aids the Unknown Prisoner of the Space-Balls by teaching him how to do things; unfortunately, most of it is common knowledge and is already known. Also, he has no existence outside of whatever screen he’s currently in. If he strays off what is portrayed in the picture, he dies immediately. Furthermore, he cannot conceive of a world outside of the current screen. Fortunately, he is able to fly, as well as translate every conceivable language. His loyalty has, on occasion, come into question, as he is a very mysterious character with no clear motives. He continues to help the Unknown Prisoner of the Space-Balls, however.

As their quest continued, more computer chips were located which added to Tutorial Bot's lost memories and opened up abilities and facets of his personality. As this happened, Tutorial Bot's entire nature has changed.

[edit] History

                    WARNING: Spoilers Ahead.

[edit] Origins

For a time, it was believed that Tutorial Bot grew up as a normal Box Bot in the Box Zone of Malphoid's World. This was due to a series of false flashbacks provided by The Collector.

However, Tutorial Bot's true origins have since come to light.

The machine that would become Tutorial Bot was scattered across Malphoid's World, and Malphoid was hired by the U.P.S. (Under-Paid Sasquatch) to reassemble it.

He succeeded, creating a deadly machine with godlike powers. Unfortunately, Newman, Malphoid's former employer and current archnemesis, had created a similar machine and the two fought using their creations.

Malphoid won the fight, and proceeded to bury his device in a box in the ground.

Strangely enough, the machine somehow began to bond with the box, as it lay dormant.

Soon thereafter, Lester, Malphoid's former sidekick, uncovered the box and gave it to Newman. Newman programmed it and used it to defeat and enslave Malphoid.

Newman then took on the identity of The Collector and collected and built a variety of robots; Meanwhile, he programmed his god-like machine to take on the identity of Tutorial Bot. The Collector would kidnap people and play games with them, allowing them to believe they were captured and attempting to escape, and succeeding. Tutorial Bot seemed to be a simple robot whose purpose was to assist the escaping victim.

[edit] Space-Balls

Tutorial Bot assisted many captive participants in The Collector's game, before he met the Unknown Prisoner. The Unknown Prisoner was another man who'd been captured by the Space-Balls as part of The Collector's games.

Tutorial Bot, at that point in time, couldn't leave the "screen" (The immediate visible area) without being destroyed by unknown causes. When he first encountered the Unknown Prisoner, his arm was caught outside of the visible area and he couldn't move. The Unknown Prisoner rescued him.

Since that time, Tutorial Bot has helped the Unknown Prisoner, giving him tutorials for various areas. Unfortunately, his tutorials often involved nothing beyond a simple explanation such as "Solve the puzzle to complete the screen".

Nonetheless, Tutorial Bot has proved invaluable.

                    End Spoilers.

[edit] 'Modes' of Tutorial Bot

[edit] Tutorial Bot

He originally appeared to be programmed simply to give tutorials, following the Unknown Prisoner only within the confines of the current screen.

[edit] 'Baseball Kid'

The first chip found revealed Tutorial Bot's childhood in the Box Zone; He was a baseball-playing kid robot with a cap and a bat.

[edit] Hero of Time

The second chip reminded Tutorial Bot of his experiences with Link. When he tried to save the Hero of Time from certain death, he failed, but got the hero's tunic, sword, and shield.

[edit] Rocket Bot

The next chip had Tutorial Bot donning a rocket pack and flying rapidly through the sky.

[edit] Happy Bot

The next chip revealed that Tutorial Bot had accidentally become high on drugs, making him supremely happy.

[edit] Vampire Bot

One chip showed Tutorial Bot getting bitten by a Vampire; he then had to feed off Humans to satisfy his hunger.

[edit] Rich Bot

Attracted by the lure of money, Tutorial Bot forgot his vampirism and became a rich guy.

[edit] Saboteur Bot

Spurned by the rich community he'd worked for, he was overcome with hatred and killed them all.

[edit] God Bot

The final chip revealed the truth: That none of the events depicted in the previous chips actually happened. God Bot, the Collector's personal robot, was the most powerful weapon in the universe.
