The two Metal R.O.B. puppet fighters represent Metal Gear REX, a giant Metal Gear robot mass-produced for warfare, where two are battled throughout the Metal Gear Solid series. The stage is based on Shadow Moses Island, the main setting of Metal Gear Solid, which features the debut appearance of Metal Gear REX, who appears as the background character. R.O.B. starts the battle with a Steel Diver, which will shoot explosive torpedos, referencing how Metal Gear REX is equipped with a railgun designed to fire nuclear warheads. Other trivia: This spirit's Speed ↓ ability references how Metal Gear REX is one of the slowest Metal Gears in the series. In World of Light, the Metal Gear REX spirit must be defeated to access the Snake fighter, referencing how Snake pilots a Metal Gear REX in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Inspired by Soviet-era designs for a bipedal tank, Metal Gear REX is a prototype mobile nuclear weapons system designed by Hal Emmerich. Emmerich was opposed to nuclear warfare, and was unaware of the mech’s purpose, believing REX to be a defensive armament. REX was left to rot after the Shadow Moses Island Incident, but it saw combat once again nine years later in a battle against Metal Gear RAY.
