3''Teleroboxer'' is a 1995 Platform/VirtualBoy game developed by Creator/{{Nintendo}}.

5It takes place in a future where people use a combination of the Virtual Boy and futuristic control technology to pilot robot boxers.

7----
8!!This game contains examples of:
9* ActionBomb: Bomb-kun is a nuclear bomb robot.
10* AllThereInTheManual: Your robot is named "Harry". You wouldn't know this unless you read the manual (or if you get the Harry Spirit in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''). The manual also contains brief backstories for Pagero, Spokong, Prin and Ikanger.
11* AnimalMotifs: Spokong is modeled after a KillerGorilla, Ikanger is a BoxingKangaroo and The Legendary Champion, [[spoiler: Bamsham]], is a cat. [[spoiler:Justified, as the pilot is ''literally'' a cat]].
12* AwesomeButImpractical: Your machine-gun punch can do some pretty solid damage, but the attack has to charge up for a second before you can use it and there's another half-second delay before the punches are thrown; ''none'' of your later opponents will sit still long enough for the attack to make contact.
13* DefeatEqualsExplosion: More like multiple explosions, as most of the enemies will have these happening to their robots before they fall into pieces, except Bomb-kun, who just... kinda drops into pieces. But then again, a nuclear bomb robot detonating ''would'' be horrifically devastating.
14* TheDreaded: Before beating the seven opponents, you don't even get informed about the "Real Champion". You can only fight him if you beat the first seven opponents without a single loss. You don't even get to know his name until you defeat him, with the game only referring to him as "The Legendary Champion". Oh, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1AQsg0AZEE this]] is the music for his fight.
15* {{Eagleland}}: The negative type, as both the American robot and pilot are depicted as brutish and ape-like.
16* {{Fembot}}: Prin, the French robot, complete with shooting its boobs at you.
17* FluffyTheTerrible: [[spoiler: The pilot of the Legendary Champion is a cat named "Milky"]].
18* GermanicEfficiency: The German robot is a repurposed construction robot, itself piloted by a robot, indicating that Germany has become even more industrial and automated somehow.
19%% * GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
20* LandDownunder: So of course the Australian robot is a kangaroo, complete with a pouch that holds a baby robot kangaroo.
21* LethalJokeCharacter: Bomb-kun is apparently supposed to make people laugh, except that it can kill you instantly if its timer runs out.
22* {{Ninja}}: Tukikage, the penultimate opponent, is a Japanese ninja robot piloted by fellow ninja Mamu.
23* {{Portmanteau}}: Telerobotics (remote control of semi-autonomous robots) + Boxing = Teleroboxer
24* RapidFireFisticuffs: Your special technique, the Machinegun Punch; charge into one direction until your fists glow, at which point you let loose a quick flurry of punches.
25* ShowgirlSkirt: Prin seems to be wearing one, along with a corset, despite being a robot.
26* SmokeOut: Defeating Tukikage has his pilot Mamu, do this, leaving behind the classic piece of wooden log.
27* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Cheri is the only female combatant (Picky's gender is shown as "?" on their profile), though there are two female-styled robots: Prin and Ikanger.
28* TimeLimitBoss: Bomb-kun, who has a time limit of 50 seconds displayed proudly on his chest.
29* TorpedoTits: Prin's special attack is pummeling you with her breasts.
30* TurnsRed: The whole game being in red and black aside, all enemies will enter an enraged stage when they take a certain amount of damage, in which they are more aggressive and often change tactics. You can tell when it happens because the robot's neutral expression changes and steam comes out of its ears. Ikanger can temporarily enter this status early if you manage to punch its baby.
