Source-derived summary

Custom Robo, known in Japan as Custom Robo: Battle Revolution, is an action role-playing video game developed by Noise and Studiofake and published by Nintendo for the GameCube. It is the fourth title of the Custom Robo series, and the first title of the series released outside Japan.

Gameplay

An operator of a robo is known as a "commander". A commander pilots and customizes a miniature "robo" to battle each other in a virtual arena called a Holosseum; the average robo is 32 centimeters tall. The majority of the story takes place in a campaign-like mode titled "A New Journey". After this mode is completed, the player may choose to go through the story again or select a new mode consisting of a series of tournaments called "The Grand Battle".

The main objective of the game is to engage in battle with other robos, collect every custom robo, battle part, and item that the player wants; winning every battle moves the player from one part of the storyline to the next. During battles, the objective is to reduce the opponent's hit points from 1000 to 0 by using different custom robos and their arsenal of weapons, including dash attacks, guns, bombs, and pods.

Fights take place in a Holosseum, a battle arena designed for custom robos. Some commanders can make their own Holosseums, or they can use a pre-created Holosseum taken from a Holosseum deck or in the robo itself.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2004 GameCube game. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5196403. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1000.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
