According to one of Biff's messages when fighting [[Mechanica]] during the [[Grand Prix]], Springtron may have been built using blueprints stolen from [[Mechanica]] during a failed attempt at discovering her weakness. With additional combat data procured from [[Helix]]'s presence within the ARMS League, Springtron was created. Originally only making sporadic appearances crashing the Grand Prix, he was later allowed proper entry into the competition. | According to one of Biff's messages when fighting [[Mechanica]] during the [[Grand Prix]], Springtron may have been built using blueprints stolen from [[Mechanica]] during a failed attempt at discovering her weakness. With additional combat data procured from [[Helix]]'s presence within the ARMS League, Springtron was created by scientists at ARMS Labs with [[Dr. Coyle]] being the head of the project.

To encounter him, the player must play through Grand Prix on Level 4 or higher without losing a single round prior to the final battle. The player will only have one chance to defeat Springtron (and choosing to Save & Quit on the pause menu will also prevent the player from fighting him again in that Grand Prix), after which they will be taken directly to the Grand Finale. | ||

He always starts each round in a charged-up state as a boss. | ||
