Don't call me Needy!
 
— Needle, whenever someone calls her Needy

Needle is a female contestant on Battle for Dream Island, Battle for Dream Island Again, IDFB, Battle for BFDI, and Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two.

In Battle for Dream Island, Needle competed on team Squashy Grapes until she was eliminated in "Puzzling Mysteries" with 12 votes. She had used a Win Token, cutting her votes down to 6, but she was still eliminated and placed 19th overall.

In Battle for Dream Island Again, Needle competed on Team No-Name and switched to W.O.A.H. Bunch in "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3", as Coiny would call her Needy 3 times in a row if she didn't switch. She survived to appear in IDFB.

In Battle for BFDI, Needle competed on The Losers! until the split came around in "The Escape from Four", when she joined TPOT.

In Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two, Needle is now a member of the team Team8s.

Appearance[]

Needle appears to be a sewing needle. She is very tall, thin, and is light gray-colored.

From "Get to the Top in 500 Steps" to "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life" her body is CGI due to the Photo Cake that Leafy gave her. This was reversed after she got hit by a regular cake that Two threw that later became CG itself.

Changes[]

BFDI-BFDIA

  • Needle has a light grey outline and shade.

BFDIA 8-BFDIA 9

  • Needle is pink due to being covered by pink paint, like the other W.O.A.H. Bunchers.

IDFB-TPOT

  • Her outline and shade is darker with a purplish tint.

BFB 11-TPOT 2

  • She turned into CGI due to eating the Photo Cake that Leafy gave her. This was reversed after she got hit by a regular cake that Two threw, but then that cake got turned into its CGI form.

Personality[]

Similar to Ice Cube, Needle is a relatively quiet and vengeful character. She is mainly known for her irritable behavior whenever someone calls her "Needy". She will slap anyone who says the word, sometimes when it isn't directed at her. Needle has never specified why she dislikes being called "Needy", but it's likely because the word needy is used to either describe someone in poverty or someone incredibly demanding and dependent to the point of obnoxiousness. Despite this though, she has no issues with calling others names they don't like, like calling Puffball "Puffy" as a way to threaten her to help her team during BFDIA.

When she isn't referred to by her nickname, Needle can be kind, approachable, and supportive towards her friends and teammates. She is also very competitive and often strives to excel in challenges. So much so that she accidentally created a star from just a cake-baking contest. She is also a fast runner amongst the contestants and won four consecutive challenges (from BFB 11 to BFB 15).

However, she does have her rude moments: in "The Glistening", she tells Firey to call her "Needy", but she slaps and votes for him to be eliminated when he does. Needle also dismissed Spongy's wish for an apology for his painful death in "It's a Monster" right after she got Yellow Face to say sorry for causing hers. She also had an attitude throughout BFB 15 and TPOT 1, aka "The Four is Lava" and "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?".

Official Character Guide biography[]

Needle is a sewing needle who hates being called "Needy." Most people call her that name by accident or even say the word for unrelated reasons, but the Announcer does it on purpose.

Needy[sic] is a competitive player and is a faster runner than Firey. This has never been confirmed, but we all know it's true.

Over the years, Needle has had five different voice actors... The most of any character!

You Don't Say!: Needle technically has three eyes.

Abilities[]

  • Speed: Needle is on many occasions shown to be incredibly fast compared to the other contestants. In "Barriers and Pitfalls", she was the first to finish the obstacle course. In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", she finished the race up the stairs almost immediately after the contest started, while the remaining contestants spend the rest of the episode trying to get to the top. And in "The Four is Lava", she was able to run from Four to grab Coiny and run back to Four before Flower or Naily could even finish.
  • Strength: Needle is able to slap all of her teammates besides Spongy (she was unable to slap him due to standing on top of him, not lack of strength) out of the Evil Canyon in "No More Snow!". She also balanced Spongy, Coiny, Nickel, Yellow Face, and Bomby on her head while on top of a spike beforehand, though she was unable to do it for long. In "Intruder Alert", she and Coiny are able to tear the spaceships and Pin in half with ease.
  • Durability: Needle is able to survive crashing into her cake which grew into a star in "Bridge Crossing", which ultimately destroyed it.
  • Heat resistance: Her metal body makes her immune to lava as seen in "The Four is Lava". However, she was killed by Yellow Face's flamethrower in "No More Snow!". This heat resistance might have come as a result of side effect from the Photo Cake.

Coverage[]

Appearances[]

Battle for Dream Island[]

In "Take the Plunge: Part 1", Blocky throws her in an attempt to pop Bubble. She is later knocked off the balance beam when Flower pushes her off.

BFDI 1a Needle 1

In "Take the Plunge: Part 2", Needle was chosen by Leafy to be on the Squashy Grapes team. She chooses Snowball to join the team, making Blocky tease that they're in love. Needle then angrily says that she likes Coiny more, which infuriates Snowball. During the challenge, Needle was unable to get on her team's boat and ended up using Spongy as a raft. Her team loses the challenge.

In "Barriers and Pitfalls", Needle gets zero votes and is safe. Due to being really fast, Needle gets through most the obstacle course with little difficulty, only struggling with the rock wall. She ended up getting a Win Token, as she was the first out of the obstacle course. She also used herself to get past the "find a needle in a haystack" which Firey and Teardrop were both stuck on. Needle was the only one to get to the end on her team, along with Teardrop. Together, they fill their team basket with water and win the challenge.

In "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?", Needle participated in the third contest, a test. However, her test paper was later set on fire. This episode also marks her first slap, because Leafy said "Needy" to her.

In "Sweet Tooth", Needle hid behind a bush, watching the Announcer with Leafy. She slaps Leafy for calling her "Needy", and Leafy suggests that they dismantle the Announcer to find out exactly what he is. Leafy runs up to the Announcer, but Needle stays behind in the bush. Later on during the challenge, Needle made a yeast cake that ended up separating from Earth, causing windstorms in the next episode. While we don't see the judges' individual scorings for her cake, she ended up placing seventh with 18 points.

During the stinger, she and Leafy are looking up at her cake in the sky, which had separated from Earth. Leafy tells her that it's pretty big, but also calls her "Needy" again, causing her to slap Leafy.

In "Bridge Crossing", Leafy yells at Needle for causing the storm with her cake. She slaps her for calling her "needy", so Leafy sternly tells her to calm down, calling her "needy" several times in the process. They get into a slap fight, which causes Leafy to slap Needle into the wind and get blown away. Snowball sees this and says that she deserved it since she's the one who made the cake.

She ends up flying into space and hitting her cake, popping it and ending the storms. During Cake at Stake, Needle falls back down from space and lands on Bubble, popping her. Match is grossed out at the sight of a needle and Pencil says that she loves "needies", prompting Needle to slap her. Announcer ends up noticing that she's there and flings her back to her team.

During the challenge, Leafy tells her that the bridge doesn't look very strong and that she can't see the bottom of the gorge. Needle, along with Ice Cube and Leafy, attempts to cross the second bridge. Snowball throws Golf Ball at the bridge while they are walking across, however, and they all fall.

In "Power of Three", Needle is grouped with Coiny and Ice Cube for the challenge. While running to the first island, Coiny and Needle realize that Ice Cube isn't with them. They both reach the first island and decide to wait for her. She also slaps Coiny for calling her "Needy". When Ice Cube returns, Coiny says that they'll need a team leader, to which Needle doesn't argue.

The first safe her team checks contain a raft to get to the next island, putting them in the lead. Needle then helps Coiny stack the blocks to get the key. Again, they are the first team to advance, and they paddle to the final island. However, their key doesn't work, and they have to paddle back to the second island.

The next key they grab doesn't work once again, so they go back to obtain the third key. Once they reach the island, they try their key and it works, but Snowball pushes them out of the way and places ahead of them, causing Needle's team to lose.

In "Puzzling Mysteries", the contestants are competing to see who can spin the most basketballs. Eraser asks Needle how many she can spin but refers to her as "Needy", causing her to slap him (in slow-motion).

At Cake at Stake, the Announcer asks her if she wants to use her Win Token, to which she responds yes. As Coiny was interrupting him, Announcer jumps next to Coiny and says "Needy", getting Needle to slap him. It is then revealed that Needle received 12 votes, and even though her Win Token cut that down to 6, it was still higher than Coiny's 5, eliminating her. Coiny then asks her why she doesn't like being called "Needy", but before she can answer, she is flung by the Sender Scoop Thrower to the Tiny Loser Chamber.

In "Cycle of Life", Needle is given a chance to rejoin. In her audition, she slaps the Announcer for calling her "Needy".

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare", Needle slapped Announcer for calling her "Needy". She failed to rejoin at 7 votes, just 1 vote less than Blocky.

In "Half a Loaf Is Better Than None", she failed to rejoin at 12 loaves of bread. She and Golf Ball later drown in the loaves of bread.

In "Vomitaco", Needle is dumped back into the TLC, along with all of the bread.

In "Reveal Novum", Needle can be seen when Match realizes there's no way out of the TLC. She can also be seen gasping as the sun begins to rise the TLC out of the lake.

In "Rescission", she slaps Ice Cube from the TLC when she calls her "Needy".

In "Gardening Hero", Needle is given another chance to rejoin. In her audition, she slaps the Announcer several times for calling her "Needy".

In "The Glistening", Firey asks Needle if she's going to vote for him to be eliminated. She says no, but tells him to call her "Needy", which he does. She then slaps and votes for him, and gets Teardrop to vote him out alongside her. Later on, she only receives 103 votes to rejoin, placing her third. The Announcer calls her "Needy" and jumps back before Needle can slap him but misses, causing her to fling herself around like a boomerang until she lands back in the TLC.

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 2", Needle can be seen in the TLC when Blocky says that he heard that BFDI is cancelled. She and the other eliminated contestants are then eaten by Bugs. She cheers when the TLC is teleported away, only for it to reappear, trapping everyone again.

In "Return of the Hang Glider", Pin asks her if she votes for Leafy as well, but calls her "Needy", compelling Needle to slap her. She then tells Pin that she wants Firey to win instead, causing Pin, Eraser, Flower, Snowball, Blocky, Coiny, and Woody to slap her. When Firey is choosing who to let on to Dream Island, he chooses Needle fourth since she was the only person to vote for him to win, telling her that he appreciated that. She doesn't do much afterward besides appearing idle in the background.

Battle for Dream Island Again[]

In "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", Needle makes it into the competition with 489 votes to join. Needle's favorite screen is revealed to be a large circle with a smaller circle on the inside. Her team of 19 easily beats the other team of only 3.

In "Get Digging", numerous clones of Needle laugh at W.O.A.H. Bunch as they walk to Cake at Stake. Needle goes with Gelatin, Puffball, Book, Ice Cube, and Spongy to get yoyleberries for her team in the challenge. Along the way however, Gelatin pushes Ice Cube, Spongy, and Book off since there isn't enough room. After a long flight they make it and start collecting berries. Leafy suddenly teleports out of nowhere and says, "I'm glad that I'm not too needy", making Needle slap her. Leafy gets frustrated and throws knives at the bunch. Gelatin then supplies her with acid spitballs to disintegrate Leafy, but she dodges all of them. Even angrier, Leafy throws more knives which follow them all the way back to Goiky, ultimately piercing Team No-Name's stew bowl. They lose the challenge however, due to the large amount of ingredients used for the stew.

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3", Needle receives 223 likes, not enough for the prize. She is safe with 67 dislikes, the 4th least. Coiny persuades Needle to switch from Team No-Name to W.O.A.H. Bunch by threatening to call her "Needy, three times, in a row". After sweating and worrying about it for a bit, Needle complies, much to Fries' exasperation. During the challenge, Pin says that she thinks they have killed about half of the bugs. Needle replies with "Yeah!" They end up losing after Teardrop and Coiny have been poisoned and when the other team has blown up all of their bugs with Bomby.

PINSandNeedLES

In "Zeeky Boogy Doog", she receives 372 likes and 210 dislikes, the least dislikes out of her team. After Teardrop gets eliminated, Coiny says he's "surrounded by pins and needles". Pin and Needle slap him after Pin corrects him, saying a pin and a needle. Coiny asks why she did that when she didn't call him "Needy", making her slap him again. For the challenge, they go for a farm-themed island and only win when Coiny destroys Team No-Name's Island with Bomby.

In "Get in the Van", Needle is first seen sitting with Coiny when the Puffball Speaker Box is suddenly hit by a knife. It then starts barfing rainbows on them, making Needle run off. Needle asks where Yoyle Mountain is when the challenge wheel says to get to the summit of said mountain. Coiny tells her it's in Yoyleland which is 2,763 miles away. Her team is forced to walk to Yoyleland since they have no other methods of traveling.

In "No More Snow!", Yellow Face asks how much further it is to Yoyle Mountain. Needle gets excited after thinking it's only 70 feet away after reading it on a tablet. Coiny corrects her, saying that she has it set to Evil Canyon, and then shows that Yoyle City is actually 2,761 miles away. Needle's team, W.O.A.H. Bunch, fall into Evil Canyon, and Needle balances on a spike while all of her team members balance on top of her, trying not to fall into the spikes. After using Spongy to avoid getting impaled, Needle slaps everyone to get them out of the canyon. However, this leaves her with no way of getting out herself. Yellow Face then burns her alive afterward so they could recover her later.

In "It's a Monster", Needle is recovered by Yellow Face, along with Pin and Spongy, and the team continues walking. Needle tells Yellow Face to apologize for her death and he does. Needle's team recovers Puffball, and Needle tries to threaten Puffball into flying their team to Yoyleland by repeatedly claiming they'll call her "Puffy". It doesn't work, and Puffball recovers Gelatin, and has him freeze Needle and the rest of her team.

In "The Long-lost Yoyle City", Needle unfreezes and asks Pin what she's doing. Pin says that she was wondering what would happen if they put Coiny and Nickel's frozen bodies next to each other. Needle says there's no "point" waiting and Pin agrees and pushes Coiny on top of Nickel. This causes a portal to form that shoots out dollars and coins. Later, Coiny is curious about how they just found a random sack of money. Needle tries to explain what they did but Pin tells her to be quiet. Needle later spots Yellow Face, who is glued to the ground. They have Yellow Face die so they can recover him later. After Coiny activates the FreeSmart SuperVan's magnet, it attracts Needle, so everyone holds onto her. She gets herself off the magnet and recovers Yellow Face. Her team reaches the summit second and is safe.

In "Well Rested", Needle and the others are still falling from the summit until they hit the ground. Needle and Coiny recover the dead Team No-Name members so that they can do Cake at Stake. The contestants decide to live Yoyleland for the time being. The challenge is to find a building to sleep in. Before the team goes searching, they decide that they need to make sure the other teams get the worst sleep. Needle takes Yellow Face's stock of headphones to help as they repeat the same noise, remain glued to the user, and fire spikeballs. She places a pair on Gelatin for Team No-Name and Ice Cube for FreeSmart. The team heads into an abandoned Aerospace Manufacturing Plant. They try to go to sleep, but water keeps falling on them. Later, they realize a cloud has formed inside the building. Needle pulls out a dehumidifier pipe and Coiny connects it to the building, which causes the water to flow out and the cloud to shrink.

Unfortunately, the FreeSmart Supervan crashes into it, and eventually starts turning it, because of the weight. Needle helps with pulling it back in place, but their efforts fail. Both teams now are on opposite ends of the balanced dehumidifier and start fighting. Needle takes a weapon from Yellow Face and fights with Pencil. After a while, Pencil easily pins down Needle. Needle calls for backup from Spongy. Spongy charges in to help, and causes the pipe to tilt. The SuperVan gets pierced by Pin's point, releasing the water inside, flooding the building. FreeSmart decides to stop fighting and goes to sleep. Needle suggests that they keep them up with spooky stories. Coiny manages to scare them in their sleep by repeatedly saying "Evil Leafy", but this eventually causes Evil Leafy to teleport to their location and puts both teams at a stalemate on the dehumidifier (which is now dunking each team as Evil Leafy teleports to them). Ice Cube eventually gets her team the win, and W.O.A.H. Bunch is put up for elimination.

In "Intruder Alert", Needle is first seen thanking Firey Speaker Box for freezing Evil Leafy. She then brings Coiny and Nickel to the Cake At Stake Area using a magnet. She gets the fourth most likes with 26,505, and the fourth most dislikes with 7,892, meaning she is safe. The challenge is to make a new dungeon for the eliminated contestants. Needle then gets the idea to use the spaceships inside the warehouse to make the new chamber, only for it to be revealed to still be flooded. She, Coiny, and Pin begin drinking the water, before she exclaims that it tastes bad. When Yellow Face tries to sell her his Grape Flavored Powder Packets, she repeatedly says no, until he discounts it to 200% off. She empties the packet into the water, and W.O.A.H. Bunch is able to dry out the warehouse. At the end of the episode, her and the rest of W.o.a.h Bunch explode due to the gunpowder.

In "Meaty", Needle gets recovered by Puffball Speaker Box. The Challenge is to paint the most of the Eiffel Tower with your team’s color. Needle has a conversation with Pin, where she remarks that W.O.A.H. Bunch’s team color is purple, so Pin tells Coiny to get the color changing sunglasses from Gelatin’s Shadeshouse. Later, Spongy tells her to repeatedly throw Purple Bomby at the Eiffel Tower so they can win the contest. When Puffball Speaker Box asked W.O.A.H. Bunch about the lack of purple paint on the tower, Needle blamed it on Gelatin and scolded him.

In "Catch These Hands", Needle's voice was swapped with Coiny's. During the challenge, she, along with Bomby, are the only 2 survivors in W.O.A.H. Bunch, as they successfully guess each other's gestures. At one point, Needle is about to guess a gesture, but Gelatin muffles her using his headphones. However, Needle gets Gelatin's headphones off and steps on Gelatin to force Team No-Name to lose.

IDFB[]

In "Welcome Back", Needle tries to stop Tennis Ball and Golf Ball from going into the museum. When asked why, she says it's a secret but involves FreeSmart. They don't listen and walk inside anyway.

Battle for BFDI[]

In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Needle is first seen with Pin, who is worried about how her blueberry seeds are fast-growing. When Four arrives, Needle is horrified when Pillow tries smothering them, only to die. When forming the teams, Firey wants Loser to join his team of Coiny, Pin, and Needle. However, Eggy, Clock, and Cake also want to be on a team with him. Needle begins to suggest that they could all be on the same team, but Loser cuts her off and says just that. During the challenge, the basket lands on some of the team members, Needle included. She attempts to lift it up but it's too heavy.

The Losers! about to open the Jawbreaker

In "Lick Your Way to Freedom", Needle uses Clock's minute hand to pull someone out of a Jawbreaker. She also appears briefly in the stinger.

In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", she answers "Maybe" when Cake asks if they could spin their swing using Clock. After Loser explains the meaning of Daylight Savings, Clock starts spinning faster, and secures his team's safety.

In "Four Goes Too Far", Needle asks Firey who he thinks has the Twinkle now, and Firey replies, saying "Black Hole!" Coiny slaps Firey and tells him that Black Hole can't have the twinkle because he doesn't have eyes, to Needle's shock. Clock ends up getting the twinkle in the end, putting The Losers! up for elimination.

In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", Needle is seen playing with the new toys with Nickel, Naily, and Firey Jr. During Cake at Stake, Needle is safe with 1,400 votes despite being in the quadruple digits. When Donut states that Loser's uneasiness may be because of him lying earlier on in the episode and that the viewers won't forget what he did, Needle tells him that it wouldn't apply for today. She and the rest of her team are shocked about Loser being eliminated. Later, Needle fights over the Liar Ball with Bottle, impaling Naily in the process.

In "Questions Answered", Needle listens to Pin's speech and cheers when they win the challenge.

In "This Episode Is About Basketball", Needle is only seen in a crowd shot when Donut attempts to pick the 9th contest.

In "Enter the Exit", the contestants try to bring Four back. Needle is one of the contestants Blocky uses to stack in a sculpture of Four. When Firey extracts the essence of Four in a syringe from Donut and is about to squirt it out in the shape of a 4, Needle interrupts, suggesting someone more dexterous should do it.

In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", Needle accepts Leafy's cake and eats it eagerly, much to Cake's horror. She is later chosen by her team to run up the 500-step staircase and reaches the top first, securing her team safety. She reappears in the stinger with Pin and Teardrop, where her body turns CGI as an effect of the Photo Cake, similarly to when someone eats Yoylecake and turns into Yoyle Metal.

In "What Do You Think of Roleplay?", Coiny asks Needle what happened to her, referring to her CGI look. She tells him that she thinks it's because of the cake that Leafy gave her in the previous episode. Coiny asks Leafy if it's true, to which Leafy exclaims that she didn't know it would do this. Pin then dramatically asks Needle how long this "hideous transformation" has befallen her. However, she points out that Pin was there, and then states that she is the impostor. She was correct, as Pin turned out to be Lightning, making The Losers! safe.

In "Don't Dig Straight Down", when Gelatin turns in Golf Ball's emerald, Needle decides to do the same thing, declaring The Losers! safe.

In "The Four is Lava", Needle sits on the roof of the bathroom with Ice Cube, Taco, and Leafy. She tells Leafy to mind her own business when she tries to give Taco advice but accidentally pushes her off the roof. When the contest begins, she pushes Leafy off the roof so that Firey can carry her and then jumps in the lava. Because Leafy and Firey are arguing she has to drag Firey by the hand in order for them to keep moving. When the lava has drained, she carries Firey, Leafy, and later Coiny to Four, making The Losers! safe from elimination. In the stinger, Needle's team shows that they all forgot about Clock missing when he's recovered.

In "The Escape from Four", Needle is first seen walking towards Four to watch them struggle at sucking up Spongy. Needle quits BFB to compete on TPOT.

Battle for BFB[]

In "The Hidden Contestant", Needle can be seen in one of Profily's flashbacks.

In "Uprooting Everything", Needle was used to poke through Income Tax Return Document's room after Pin.

CGI Needle

In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", Needle joins Coiny and Pin in teaming up with Donut. She is later seen talking in the argument about their team's name. When the challenge starts, she knocks Bottle over as she runs to the building. When Coiny thinks of a plan, she irritably says "Finally!". She is then used by Barf Bag to climb up the building, lining up with how she poked through Income Tax Return Document's room in "Uprooting Everything".

In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", during Cake at Stake, the cake slice that Two threw to Fanny ends up falling on Needle, which causes her body to lose its CGI effect. Needle helps her team by adding blocks to their stack. Later, Bell's string gets stuck to their tower, and she starts carrying it around as she struggles to get it off. Needle grabs on to Saw's handle and jumps onto their stack to saw it apart from Bell's string. Needle then carries the stack back to her team's podium before time ran out. With 12.5 blocks, Needle's team is safe with the tallest stack.

In "Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters", Needle is first seen in two flashbacks where she and Cake are sitting together inside the hotel. Later, Needle angrily asks Two where they keep going for months on end in between challenges. Two decides to show everyone and teleports the contestants to their empty amusement park. For the challenge, Team8s decide to make a restaurant for the amusement park. Needle gets to work on building the restaurant out of blocks. When the restaurant is finished being built, Needle realizes that they have no food and asks Pin if she has the apple that she mentioned earlier, which Pin forgot about. Coiny improvises by serving Barf Bag as their dish. Unfortunately for Needle's team, their attraction is obliterated by Eraser, so they get a 0/10. Needle's team is up for elimination, along with The S!.

In "Gardening Zero", Needle is the 5th contestant safe in Cake at Stake with 4,162 votes. Later, Needle and Pin talk about how upsetting it is that they lost Saw. For the challenge, her team is sent to Yoyleland to protect their funny plant. Fortunately for them, the soil in Yoyleland is very fertile so they no trouble keeping their plant alive and are safe in the challenge. However, their plant is killed by a gamma ray at the ending.

In "Fishes and Dishes", Needle's team orders a strong magnet to help them in the challenge, but they accidentally caused it to get delivered to Yellow Face's Warehouse. Needle carries everyone to the train station so that they can get going to pick up the package. They all board "The Slowest Train Ever", but manage to get to the warehouse faster when Barf Bag crosses out the word "slowest" on the sign and replaces it with "fastest". They eventually arrive and find the package with the magnet. Needle gets an idea to help them get back to The Beach faster and tells Coiny to set the magnet to magnify the train. Once he does, she throws him and the magnet in front of the train, causing it to pull the train all way back. They arrive back in time to get the last safe spot and are safe from elimination.

Needle TPOT 2

In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", Needle is first seen discussing with Gaty and Barf Bag about what they should serve Two. Coiny intervenes, knocking Needle over, and suggests that they trap Two in his bread. Needle's attempt at trapping Two has her crushing them with the glued together stack of blocks that her team made, but Two simply pops out of the top. Needle's second attempt involves her making a leaf trap for Two to fall into. Bottle ends up falling into the trap, to Needle's annoyance. Coiny suggests that they just turn in his sandwich prop. Needle agrees and plops the bread down for Two to judge. Two ends up being placed in between the bread slices, making a "Two Sandwich". Two is so delighted by the joke that they give Team8s a 10/10. In the stinger, Needle gets zapped after attempting to steal Four and X's lunches.

In "The Seven Wonders of Goiky", Needle and her team is tasked with the restoration of the Balance Beam. Pin and Coiny are immediately on the initiative, but they get distracted. Soon, the two tug on the mirror and end up making it big enough to cover the entire beam, making it appear like the beam was indeed untouched after all. However, the mirror soon breaks thanks to Pin. They are aided with some wires that Just Not traded and Donut is given the position of holding the balance beam together. Donut is flung into the path of both halves of the beam, crushing and killing him immediately. Once Two is called in to test the beam, they end up enjoying it so much; the team is safe.

In "Balancing P.A.C.T.", Needle is first seen with the group of contestants forcing Donut to swallow Yellow Face's gumball. She isn't seen again until the challenge, when Pin says the word Needy. In response, Needle charges up her signature slap, but since Pin is too far away, she slaps Gaty off of the balance beam instead. Later, her, Barf Bag, and Coiny all attack Eraser, but when Coiny is knocked off by Tennis Ball and Pen, she panics, repeatedly telling the team to scatter. She is then seen hanging upside down on the balance beam when she discovers Just Not. When she asks what they're doing here and Nickel blows a raspberry, she kicks him in the face. This angers Bomby, and the two fight, ending in Needle's victory and Bomby falling into the water. Then, Book attempts to fight Needle, but is promptly slammed around and flung into Pin, and the two (Book and Pin) fall off. Because Pin was Needle's teammate, Needle is outraged, and chases the remaining members of Just Not. Soon enough, Yellow Face arrives and fights Needle, causing her to lose and fall off of the balance beam. After Donut is pushed off by Price Tag, Team8s lose, and Needle is up for elimination.

In "Outbreak At Stake", Needle and the rest of her team (except Barf Bag) are shown running into the hotel with Are You Okay. Needle is in the bottom two with Coiny, after the suspense, Two reveals that Needle got 4,890 votes, and Coiny received 4,870. During the challenge, her team tries to get Four and X, but as they are fishing, they flee instead. Eventually, she grabs Pin, since the latter tries to save the infected Coiny. Once they reach Tree's roots, Snowball hits Tree, opening up a tunnel. However, it closes when Needle tries to get through, killing her.

General[]

  • Needle was the 17th character made in BFDI.
  • Needle was first created on July 20th, 2009.[2]
  • She is known for slapping anyone who calls her "Needy".
  • It is still unknown why Needle hates being called "Needy".
    • Before being sent to the Tiny Loser Chamber, she tried to explain why she didn't like being called "Needy", but the Announcer threw her out to the TLC.
  • She hasn't been called "Needy" once in BFB.
  • As seen in "The Glistening", she doesn't get angry if she's called "Needley".
  • The catchphrase "Aw, seriously?" was originally owned by Needle, up until David's entrance in "Reveal Novum". She has said the aforementioned phrase most out of any character, excluding David.
  • Needle has the most voice actors out of any character, having five, and this is confirmed by the Official Character Guide.
    • The Official Character Guide also confirms that Needle's second voice actor is different than her other voice actors.
      • In addition, Needle is the only OG contestant to not still be voiced by Michael or Cary. It may be likely that the reason for this is due to Cary hitting puberty and not being able to still do Needle's voice, which is why from episodes 1-4 of BFDIA, Needle's dialogue is only recycled lines.
  • Discounting contestants with stick bodies, Needle is the thinnest contestant after Lollipop.
  • In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3", when Needle is sweating as Coiny threatens to call her "Needy" 3 times in a row, her sweat is Teardrop's asset.
  • Needle has the same sideways idle throughout the BFDI to BFB intros.
    • In the TPOT intro, she is given a slightly different pose.
  • Needle's name was never directly mentioned in BFB until "Get to the Top in 500 Steps".
  • In "The Four is Lava", it is revealed that Needle is lava proof.
  • Needle is the only contestant who didn't get an updated asset during BFDI 24-BFDIA.
  • Needle turned into CGI in BFB 11 and didn't revert back until TPOT 2. That means Needle has been in her CGI form for approximately 4 years.
  • She is technically the only contestant to have 3 eyes due to being a needle, which has an eye (hole) on the top.
