Appearances
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Beep-0 is originally the robot assistant of a Super Mario fan working on a visor called SupaMerge that can fuse objects. When the Rabbids end up in her laboratory, one of them puts on the SupaMerge and accidentally activates it, merging Rabbids with various objects and leading to the creation of Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach. Beep-0 and the Rabbids are then transported to the Mushroom Kingdom when a beam from the SupaMerge hits the Time Washing Machine and causes it to malfunction. There, he gains rabbit ears.
Upon his arrival in the Mushroom Kingdom, Beep-0 is saved by Mario from a falling Time Washing Machine. Together with Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Luigi, they fight off enemies with the help of weapons sent to Beep-0 by someone called "F.B.". They discover the Megabug vortex, and encounter Luigi and a Rabbid wearing the SupaMerge, who accidentally leads to the fusion of a Rabbid and a Piranha Plant, creating the Pirabbid Plant. Bowser Jr. appears and befriends the Rabbid, whom he names Spawny, planning to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario's group then defeat Rabbid Kong and return to Princess Peach.
Beep-0 joins the team in Sherbet Desert. The heroes triumph over challenges, ultimately defeating the Megabug, an entity which has possessed Bowser, and saving the Mushroom Kingdom.
Returning to Peach's Castle, the heroes celebrate their victory by unveiling a statue of Rabbid Peach and capturing the moment in a victory selfie. Beep-0 then sends a letter to its past self, revealing "F.B." is Future Beep-0.
Donkey Kong Adventure
Beep-0 is also present in the DLC featuring Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Adventure. After Rabbid Kong's defeat, he attacks a Time Washing Machine and gets vacuumed into it along with other Rabbids. Spawny's SupaMerge energy is accidentally activated, and Rabbid Peach unknowingly plugs her low-battery phone into the machine. This sends her to another dimension, along with Beep-0. On an island, they meet Donkey Kong and Rabbid Cranky. The heroes then search for the Time Washing Machine, finding Rabbid Kong who is upset about his defeat in the base game. He attacks Rabbid Peach, and they seek the Machine in Rabbid Kong's hideout.
Obtaining keys and battling enemies, the heroes reach a jungle temple and defeat Mega Rabbid Kong, falling into a dungeon. Escaping, they vanquish Mega Rabbid Kong again. Rabbid Peach forgives him, leading to his reformation. They return the Time Washing Machine, taking a victory selfie together in Banana Lagoon.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Beep-0 returns in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, where he shares his role with his new creation JEANIE, the operating system of WM ARC, a spaceship he also created. The story unfolds as creatures called Sparks start falling from the sky and a flying manta ray made of Darkmess attacks, abducting Rabbid Peach. Mario and Beep-0 set out to rescue her, aided by a Spark named Starburst. As they are taken to Cursa, the main antagonist of the game, they are saved by Luigi, Princess Peach, Rabbid Luigi, and Rabbid Mario riding the WM ARC.
On Beacon Beach, the heroes meet a warrior Rabbid called Edge, whom they team up with.
As their journey progresses across planets, they confront Cursa at its stronghold and defeat it, rescuing Rosalina. Returning to Peach's Castle, Rosalina praises everyone, including Bowser. However, Bowser remains unsatisfied. In a playful gesture, Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Peach, and Rabbid Luigi approach Bowser, prompting his fiery reaction that sends them flying.
Rayman in the Phantom Show
Main article: Rayman in the Phantom Show
Beep-0 is a protagonist in the DLC featuring Rayman, Rayman in the Phantom Show. After having received an invitation to the Space Opera Network in the form of a golden ticket, he travels there with Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Mario, and quickly comes across Rayman at the Network Reception.
Beep-0 intervenes, assuring Rayman that they are not "run-off-the-mill Rabbids", but heroes. Before they can discuss the situation further, they are ambushed by Goombas and Stooges, and join forces against them.
Upon defeating the enemies, Rayman and the Rabbids introduce themselves to each other and find out that they have all received the same invitation. They praise each other's fighting abilities and decide to team up for the time being. Immediately afterwards, an elevator comes down into the room, and the Phantom comes out of it and towards them. Rabbid Mario and Rabbid Peach, recognizing the enemy they previously fought in the Spooky Trails area of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, are held back by Rayman as they try to attack him, and the Phantom reveals a bouquet of flowers, appeasing the Rabbids. He goes on to explain that he is now a changed person, no longer corrupted by the Megabug, and that he needs their help to restore the studio's ratings as his actors have left him. The Rabbids are instantly convinced by the Phantom's promises of fame and glory, and while Beep-0 is initially reluctant, he is eventually won over by flattery. The heroes are then tasked with performing in three different productions.
Once all three tasks have been completed, the Phantom congratulates them and asks the team to join him by the elevator in the Main TV Studio. They ascend to the Control Room, where the Phantom reveals his duplicity, explaining that he had been plotting his revenge the entire time and only manipulated the heroes into ridding the Space Opera Network of Darkmess. With the help of his newfound fame, as the studio is now number one in the galaxy, he intends to defeat the heroes as part of one last performance.
In battles reminiscent of when he was first encountered, the team eventually defeats the Phantom, destroying the spotlights that provide him with immunity. Beep-0 claims that he was never fooled by their old enemy's promises, but this is quickly dismissed by Rabbid Mario who reminds him that he has already fallen for it once.
Having found a functioning warp portal, the Rabbids decide to head back to Princess Peach's castle, having not found the actor career much to their liking. Beep-0 then goes on to thank Rayman, promising him that he can count on them, should he need anything.
Personality
Beep-0 is shown to be outgoing, sarcastic, and short-tempered. He often uses puns and can be blunt in his communication, sometimes using swear words. In Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Beep-0's short-tempered nature appears to mellow.
