Obscure Baldi and mystman12 Facts!

Blog documenting various unknown trivia in Baldi's Basics, and some of mystman12's other works

[obscurebaldi]

Welcome.

May I educate you, and you learn.

What

This blog is dedicated to posting various niche yet interesting facts about Baldi's Basics and related material (including other mystman12 games) inspired by obscuretobyfox and suppermariobroth.

I will not update this blog daily, but will try my best to keep it active.

Who

This blog is ran by @cosmicnyan.

Which

I am not a witch, but I do have some guidelines for what will be posted on this account.

Theories will not be posted here, although if a fact I post can be used to draw any conclusion about the lore I may bring it up as a possibility after already declaring the facts and specifying what is conjectural.

The blog will be centered on official content, but bootlegs and fangames may occasionally be brought up if they have an interesting tie to mystman12.

You may send in asks to suggest a topic to cover, and if I accept the ask your blog will be credited in the header of the post (unless if the ask is anonymous, of course.)

I will also often highlight various names with associated colors, simply because I think it looks cool.

With all that being said, I hope you'll enjoy this and learn more about Baldi along the way!

NEW INFO !

Mystman12 has posted a new status update for the game, revealing this out of context screenshot for a feature from Version 1.0.

Some notable oddities in this image are the half-closed wall, Baldi's face hiding in a locker, and a bizarre character who resembles a student (possibly with some of Baldi's features) t-posing on the other side of the wall.

According to an Instagram highlight posted by mystman12, Baldi only listens to "bald music." The "bald music" shown off in the highlight is Rugs From Me To You by Owl City.

give me the most random and fake-sounding fact you can think of

Badli, a creepy distorted Baldi face seen in the loading screen of Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, is referred to as "theChosenOne" in one of the game's scripts.

In Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, there is a slideshow advertising the various features of Baldi's Basics Plus. In-between two of the slides, you can spot a dabbing Baldi.

can we get some facts about 99 (not to be confused with 99 facts)

mystman12 has used the number 99 in a few of his works outside of Baldi's Basics.

Game & Wario Miiverse post

There's a Pictionary-style minigame in the Wii U title Game & Wario which lets you post your final drawings online. In response to the prompt "9", mystman12 drew a strained pair of eyeballs that resemble the 99 jumpscare from Baldi's Basics Classic.

2. "City Trail" April Fools joke

mystman12 once posted a game for April Fools day which claimed to be a remake of Kirby Air Ride's City Trial mode for SmileBASIC, but was really a jumpscare using the corrupted 99 image. This is the only DS game of his which is unavailable, as the download code doesn't work anymore and it was never archived.

3. You can shoot doughnuts in this game!

In mystman12's "You can shoot doughnuts in this game!", published to Scratch, there's a piece of code that plays a "WOO" sound after 99 seconds. This "WOO" sound is taken from the game Donkey Kong Country.

[pictured: a piece of scratch code which plays a "woo" sound effect after 99 seconds]

Although 99 definitely has its biggest role in Baldi's Basics, it's been present in mystman12's life for a while before the original game's release!

[obscurebaldi]

In Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash, the Dangerous Teleporter was named the "Teleportation Teleporter."

[obscurebaldi]

There is an unused and unfinished French translation in the files of Baldi's Basics Plus. All it contains are captions for numbers 0-9, and a translation of "elephant hit," a phrase mystman12 has used for testing sound multiple times in the past.

[pictured: a look at the unfinished french translation in a text editor]

[obscurebaldi]

The You Can Think Pad has a bizarre round component on its top-left corner. In Baldi's Basics Classic/Classic Remastered, this bizarre round component is purple. In Baldi's Basics Plus, where it is used as a map instead of a device for answering math problems, it was changed to be red.

[obscurebaldi]

NULL's Party Style speech in Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered has multiple parts removed compared to the original version in Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash.

"You know… This is more bad than good, I have- Coughing" This entire line was cut out in Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered.

"Idiot- Glitching -cided it would be a great idea to produce the demo completely separated from the ma-" There's a chance this line was recorded while the Baldi's Basics Full Game Public Demo was in development, thus the line was removed for being outdated, though this is unconfirmed.

"Don't let anybody else know about it. Before- Glitching Coughing Glitching -something terrible happens to you-" The last word was cut off, but the rest of the sentence remains intact.

In one of the Baldimore comics featured in Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, Baldi states that the first words he ever said were "Gimme more cookies."

[pictured: baldi saying "'Gimme more cookies'. Those were the first words i ever said."]

This is a meta joke, referring to a "teaser" page for the Baldimore comics, where Baldi's first words were indeed "Gimme more cookies."

[pictured: a sheet of paper with the title "Baldimore" written on it, the text "coming soon," and a drawing of baldi. baldi is saying "gimme more cookies"]

In the leaderboard for the Endless Mode of Baldi's Basics Plus, it's filled out with 10 spaces of empty scores from Baldi himself before the player fills it up with their own scores. By clicking on a score, you can see the seed that was used while playing.

[pictured: the leaderboard in baldi's basics plus, with the seed "1561753116"]

The seeds used for Baldi's scores are generated by multiplying a random number by 99, a recurring number with lore significance in the franchise.

Mystman12 creeps me out with these things please help stop him

Good find! Summary of what's in the attached link:

During the development of Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered in 2022, mystman12 posted on the Unity developer forums, requesting for help regarding the random color shader used in the final game. This post contains unique graphics, depicting an additive color model alongside the numbers from the books in Baldi's Basement but with even more dithering in order to exaggerate the color randomization effect.
