SALESBOT 9.99+TX the Merchant (also written as Salesbot 9.99TX[1] or Salesbot 9.99+TX[2]), also known as Salesbot or the Merchantbot[3], is a robotic merchant who appears in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. It sells items on all the planets, including Cursa's stronghold, to the heroes during their adventure. Certain items may be temporarily discounted at certain points in the game. Outside of battle, SALESBOT 9.99+TX can be paid to fully restore everyone's HP when the player presses Down Button, with the price increasing the more this is done, though this is unavailable in The Tower of Doooom. Its name is derived from "9.99 plus tax", a monetary value that is commonly used as a form of psychological pricing.
