It's enough likelihood since that's the coloring (the basic hat at least) of the female lead. It would be a given.

Maybe The Yellow R.O.B. Is Wall-E  |

Or maybe that's been debunked already and this bump was totally pointless.

R.O.B.'s alternate colors seem to be based on Nintendo consoles. The default red/white R.O.B. is the Famicom R.O.B. while the dark/light gray R.O.B. is the NES R.O.B. It is very clear to me that the dark/light purple R.O.B. is based on the North American SNES controller buttons. The yellow/black R.O.B. looks like its based on Diskun, the mascot of Famicom Disk System. It is possible that the dark R.O.B. is based on the N64 and/or the GCN. The green R.O.B. is obviously the green R.O.B. enemy from the Subspace Emissary so its the exception.

Already tried Diskun. I think we debunked the Cobalt ROB too. I'll be damned if that ROB isn't based on something though.

Colors could be a nod but we have little proof.
I sincerely doubt the SNES colors would be used when the much more attractive SFC colors could be used. I don't think it makes sense like the R.O.B. colors used.
I really want to say that the alt colors for R.O.B. are based on Japanese mechs in anime, but there's no clear proof. Though Evangelion comes to mind whenever I see purple R.O.B., no green debunks it immediately.

Now, About Orange Luigi, I Dub It To Be The Orange Mario On The NES Pinball Cover  Blue Luigi & Pink Luigi Are Clueless To Me But Maybe Pink Luigi Is Based Of His Wrecking Crew Sprites  |

We've gone over these too. The first was ruled out because it is an American only cover. The second was ruled a possibility. The OP just hasn't been updated in quite some time.

I'm sorry but I see a logical fallacy. So because the source is American, its not valid? I guess we should also rule out the NES R.O.B. as a source for the light/dark gray R.O.B. because its American only.  |

Oh Arcadenik! You continue to astound me this long into discussion.
ROB comes in two colour schemes: Red/Cream and Greys. One is the Japanese release and one is the US release. This fact is also known worldwide, largely in part due to both colour schemes being available in worldwide wi-fi matches in Mario Kart DS.
The reason we can discount the Pinball cover isn't just because it's from an American source. There have been various things attributed to American sources now (although perhaps not as many as we might have hoped).
The Pinball cover does not show Luigi, it shows Mario, so it's not even the right character. And the costumes aren't the same either - Pinball Mario has a blue hat, while Luigi has an orange hat. Add those two points to the fact this colour scheme isn't used in game, but on the boxart - specifically the American boxart - and you have a very good argument for why this is not the source of Luigi's orange colour scheme.
It makes more sense to say it's based on fiery Mario/Luigi from SMB3... and that was a completely orange suit with darker orange dungarees. But at least you could say it's the right character from a game he actually appeared in, based on an in-game sprite which is open to interpretation (see Foreman Spike Mario), that appeared worldwide.
It's not the perfect definitive answer, but if we're going to talk shades of what-makes-sense, Pinball doesn't look nearly as appealing.

But I Still Remain Clueless With The Ganondorfs. I'm Thinking The Blue 1 Is Actually Phantom Ganondorf!  |

I guess we should also rule out the NES R.O.B. as a source for the light/dark gray R.O.B. because its American only. Fry covered this too. the American ROBs become popular collector's items in Japan a few years back, moreso than the Robot. |
