First of all, all Baldi's Basics games belong to Basically Games. This video was created for entertainment and informational purposes. I also have to give a SPOILER warning for absolutely everything, so I recommend you play it first or watch it at your own risk. Along with a warning of loud sounds and flashing images that may cause a risk of epilepsy.
This is my first video and project, so I'm new to these things, so if there are any mistakes, I apologize, but constructive criticism is welcome. I won't be using Loquendo (for the most part), it will be my real voice, I'm not used to speaking in general and I have speech problems, but I hope you can at least understand what I'm talking about... Oh! And of course, CRINGE WARNING! I'm putting it here just in case, Loquendo is very serious about this kind of thing. Without further ado, I hope you enjoy it!
AAAH, yes
Baldi’s Basics
that educational game that looks very cheap and ugly and with questionable learning methods.
Today I'm going to talk to you about this game, from somewhat useless facts to things that will make you say
WOW
I present to you...
The ultimate Baldi's Basics iceberg.
I'M CLARIFYING, THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR ALL THE GAMES
YOU'RE WARNED.
Anyway, I recommend you try the game.
It's free on itch.io and Steam, and it's fun after all.
Without further ado, let's begin.
[LEVEL 1]
[Game Jam]
It's a contest where you're given a certain amount of time to make a game with a certain theme
but generally it's not that much time. It all starts with The Meta Game Jam 2018
where the theme is to create a game about games, that is, it can either break the fourth wall or make reference to other games
Oh! And guess who took first place
Yeah...
Farfalle
Farfalle OS?
which is… a simulator where you talk to a developer about making a game?
And then it breaks the fourth wall and stuff…
Well, Baldi’s Basics took second place.

creator of Baldi's Basics and founder of Basically, Games!
who has a quirky sense of humor
(XD)
has been developing games for quite some time and it took him two hours to beat his own game.
[Baldi’s Basics Classic]
Also known as Baldi’s Basics in Education and Learning
it was first released on itchi.io on March 31, 2018.
Although there was a "demo" version on Game Jolt released on March 27 of the same year
not much has changed from the previous version.
This game had only nine characters, eleven elements, and a single subject.
Its premise was to be a game that isn't what it appears to be
inspired by old educational video games with touches of comedy and parody.
[The Impossible Question]
It is the third question that appears on You Can Think Pad
which is three advanced math problems superimposed on top of each other.
It is currently programmed to have no solution and always mark any answer incorrectly
except for the codes.
[99 Game over]
There is a 1 in 99 chance
In other words (1.01%)
that a small orange rectangle with the number “99”
cut out to look like two pair of eyes.
then loud, distorted sounds will play and the game will crash seconds later.
[Secret Chalkboard]
There's a hidden chalkboard that says "THIS PROGRAM IS CANCER" with multiple "99s" around it
This can be found in the classic version and Birthday Bash.
[Secret Endings]
There are three secret endings in total
all of which feature Null
(or previously known as Filename2)
He is a corrupt and secret character within the game, the following endings can be unlocked with these steps
all of which have in common that they suddenly close the game
1. -Answering all the questions wrong-
this apart from making the game more difficult than it is
instead of finishing the game an image of Baldi appears suggesting a margin for improvement in his office
upon entering his office you will see a stretched Baldi and Null
he begins with his typical monologue of destroying the game before something bad happens.
2. -In Birthday Bash-
you have to use a teleporter which can only be obtained through vending machines with a low probability
This is used to get to the Principal's office
where he'll be. It says basically the same thing, but with disappointment
Although, in the remastered version, you do the same thing
except the Baldloon is destroying the school
Null will yell at you and scold you for what you did.
3. -In the remastered version-
it's found in Baldi's basement. The way to get it is:
-Play the demo mode-
you must first collect the seven notebooks, after this additional questions will begin to appear on the machines
when the last additional question is answered the machine gives you a portal
more specifically next to a poster about scissors
this will open a small room that leads to some stairs
Once we enter the basement we go to the shrink machine room
after a while Null appears, who begins to insinuate that we continue playing to discover the "lore"
he mocks us, and already fed up with life he tells us the typical, and then force the game to close.
[The player's friend]
We're mentioned in the instructions
saying that our friend forgot his notebooks and we volunteered to pick them up
Not much is known, and he hasn't been mentioned again
all I can gather is that he has a terrible memory.
[Dr. Sbaitso]
Is an artificial intelligence speech synthesis program released in late 1991
for MS-DOS-based personal computers
This is the voice 1st Prize uses; the parameters for its voice are...
Eeerm...
I'd better leave a video in the description that explains it better.
[Birthday Bash]
It was released to celebrate the game's first anniversary on April 1, 2019
It's basically the same as the base game, but includes party hats, streamers, gifts, and other birthday party goodies
With an ending where you end up in the school with multiple glitches and you have to solve a puzzle that ends with it being destroyed.
[Baldi's age]
He's 29
Want to know more unnecessary facts?
His last name is Baldimore
his birthday is June 3rd, and his favorite color is green.
[Placeface]
It frequently appears as an Easter egg, it is like the bully's head but less deformed
His appearances include the Test Room, the glitched school, obstacles in NULL mode
and off-map behind some doors in the Field Trip: Camping demo.
If the hacks are activated, he'll be seen wandering around randomly
and if he sees the player, he'll chase them until they're out of sight.
[Field Trip Demo]
It's a demo for excursions that was going to be included in the kickstarted version
but it was permanently removed from itchio.io because it's a version that wasn't going to be in the final version
Here you have to collect firewood to keep the fire going, but while you're going to get the sticks
Cloudy Copter drains the campfire's life
Or the bully shows up to steal your sticks.
Once the flame is extinguished, Baldi comes to hit you with a ruler.
However, in the Plus version, specifically 0.3
there's a minigame where you have to solve the addition and subtraction problems that come with the firewood
using the indicated number that appears on the campfire
After a while, four pieces of firewood will appear
If the number is incorrect, you lose a star
This version has been removed.
It returned in 0.7 with two minigames, one called Campfire Frenzy
where you control 1st Prize to place items that keep the campfire going
and avoid items that extinguish it
It gets faster each time, though it slows down every so often, but it'll still get faster.
The other is called Pick-Quick-Nic
Baldi is...
very

the idea here is to pick a food that Baldi doesn't think of
or else he'll get sad
He progresses faster and faster and the objects become more confusing
Sometimes bombs planted by the bully will appear that you have to remove quickly or else Baldi will explode when he swallows all the remaining food
If you perfectly complete these games, you will receive a ton of powerful objects.
