Every character reference in Astro Bot

The nostalgia is real.

Team Asobi’s Astro Bot is a cornucopia of nostalgia and pure joy. Of course, if you’re an avid fan of the past 30+ years of gaming, then the former will feed the latter and vice versa. There are 305 lost bots to find in the platformer, with 173 being cameos from various influential PlayStation titles. Here’s every character reference in Astro Bot.

Where to find every Cameo Bot in Astro Bot

There are seven zones stuffed to the brim with levels of the regular and hidden varieties, each containing 300 known bots. Five extra bots also appear, with one being hidden in a secret level requiring 300 bots and four hidden in Astro’s Play Room. I’ve marked the four from Astro’s Play Room with asterisks so you won’t be pulling out your hair, like I did, wondering why you never found Lady Maria.
