EL ICEBERG DEFINITIVO DE BALDI'S BASICS

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

W O W

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.

-Mystman12-

Also known as Micah James McGonigal (The goat)

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

H̷̨̼̬͔̦̤̣́͒̃͆͆̓̆́̂̐ ̶̡̝̻̜͉̲̹̖̻̊̉̀̉͊̎ͅU̵̘͕̰͌̂͐̑͘ ̸̡̧̝̙̿͗̽͛Ņ̵̙͔̞̰̪̎͒̇̀́͜ͅ ̵̡̨̳̠͍̙̄͐̍͋̿̕͘͘͝͝ͅG̷͚͂͗̈́̀̂̍͠ ̴̬͚͔̱͖̳͛͋̋̇̌͋͐̾̈R̴̡̦̯͍͖͔̳̘̭̦̍͒͐͋̂̋̑̔̽͝ ̶̟̣̺̮͎̺̄Y̷̨̨̗̦͖̞̠̫̯̾́͆͘̚ͅ

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.

[Secret Codes]

There are several secret codes you can set on the Can You Think Pad.

Which are:

Once you enter this code, it will display the message "THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN" and send you to the Test Room

where Placeface and green and orange textures with the text "Place the holder" are displayed

The number next to the message is a reference to the date when the game began it's development, which is March 17, 2018

“USE THESE TO STICK TO THE CEILING!”

Using this code makes everything appear upside down

using this in Birthday Bash you can find Null as it teleports us to the low-

(struggles a lil' bit)

lower floor :D

"If Baldi's Basics really released in 1999!"

Activates Authentic Mode

I'll talk about this and other modes later; for now...

the number refers to the year Sonic's Schoolhouse was released

which is October 18, 1996.

“Time for some cool tunes!” B)

Teleports the player to the music room, as you might guess it is a room with the game’s soundtrack

here you can also slow down the music or speed it up

there are some exceptions where this does not work.

▶︎ •၊၊||၊|။|||| |

（っ＾▿＾）

(ˆ ▿ ˆ ☜ )

▶︎ •၊၊||၊|။|||| |

“EPILEPSY WARNING! HIGHLY UNSTABILITY!”

Activate Chaos mode.

“Click the question mark!”

It activates debug mode

but you have to unlock all three secret endings and also NULL mode

otherwise it won’t activate and you’ll get the message

“Find all the secrets first!”

[Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered]

Is a game that brings together recreations of the classic version

Birthday Bash and the demo of the plus version into one

with new mechanics such as the Baldicator or design changes

It was released on October 21, 2022

it was originally planned to be released on March 31, 2021

but was delayed several times due to reasons such as wanting to add more things and make it look like a finished game.

[Baldi's Basics Plus]

It is a game that is being updated regularly, being like the definitive Baldi's Basics game

it takes place in a large building called the Super Schoolhouse, it has an elevator

it will have 25 new characters in the future, including 10 returning characters

random maps, more subjects, events, field trips and more stuff

You can find it on Steam for $10. But in my case it costs 18,500 pesos... (COP)

and that's not even enough for me to exist :(

Coff coff same

[Farm Field Trip]

This is one of the game's excursions that is currently unavailable. In its first version

it featured a corn maze where you have to find a flag to complete the course

In version 0.3.2 to 0.3.8 it was a corn maze but 2D

with a barn in the corner, here we had to guide the animals according to their sound through the farm in a time limit

if we miss this limit or take the wrong animal we will lose a star and the farmer will scream.

[Unused content]

I'm going to talk about some things that were removed

other things will be talked about later because they cover more information.

This audio was removed because the randomly generated numbers would create impossible problems to solve

for example: 0 divided by 0

Before version 0.3

Baldi would say all the numbers at once and immediately start following you.

In the version 0.3, he'll count up to 10 normally.

"No eating food in the halls 🗣️"

The principal will give you detention if he sees you eating an Energy Bar

this was replaced with the dialogue of:

🗣️🔥🔥

In the version 1.3

[Mrs. Pomp's numbers 3-9]

It was originally intended that she would give you more time to go to her class.

[Dialogues to be confirmed from Johnny]

It could be used when trying to buy something you can't pay.

It could be used when purchasing an item, hovering over an item

or an unimplemented feature.

It could be used for that function without implementing a character's suspension.

[Logos]

Logos like Mystman12 and Meta Game Jam 2018 used to appear in the classic version.

Starting in version 1.4, they were removed.

There's also an MPTK logo in the Plus version

which was strangely modified in version 0.3.5.

[Numeric Sprites]

This was supposed to be used as an indicator of how many additional questions were solved

but it was moved to the math machine

It was also planned to be added as a stopwatch in the battle against NULL.

[You Can Think Pad Zoom]

When pausing the game or viewing an advanced map

a "You Can Think Pad" would appear, zooming in.

Currently, only the last frame is used with a transition effect.

[Zero power tubes]

There is an unused texture of the elevator without power tubes

because once we have lost the last tube it sends us back to the menu.

This is an image of Mystman12's avatar, used as a poster marker and temporarily as the broken window texture.

[Ventilation]

This is a structure that wasn't implemented in the full game's Early Demo.

The idea behind this was that the player was the only one who could pass through them; other NPCs couldn't

However, it was eventually added in 0.8 of the Plus version.

This screen was removed from party mode

I guess it was removed because it turned out to be too" basic".

[Why the other NPCs can't go to detention]

Well...

-Arts and Crafters-

-1st prize-

-Chalkles-

and -Gotta Sweep- (My fav char :P)

are not human (i mean is kinda obvious :P)

apart from the fact that the latter belongs to the school Staff therefore the teachers cannot be sent either

Playtime and Mrs. Pomp are jumping

Baldi is teleporting

The bully is standing still, although they still send him for bullying.

I guess Beans is the exception and they turn a blind eye to him.

[Arts and Crafters slammed] (hehe)

In the KickStarter video, while Mystman is talking about the game

he suddenly throws Arts and Crafters into the air with his wooden ruler.

Tragic, isn't it?

[Unused footage from the KickStarter video]

Few will have noticed that there is a video uploaded about the content removed from the KickStarter on Mystman12's channel

well that's it, several scenes of him fooling around that were not used.

[The cursor]

The cursor displayed in the game is the same hand as the 1st prize.

And.. yeah that's it :/

[Inspirations and references]

I will relate several references and inspirations that are found within the games:

Its graphic style is very similar to the Baldi’s Basics games.

The Arts and Crafters squeak was created using a corrupted Donkey Kong Country 2 ROM.

The Chaos Mode code is a reference to the release date of Donkey Kong Country in the United States

In November 21, 1994.

The image of 99 comes from a corruption of Donkey Kong Country.
