The Significance of Balloon Boy

[Chandler]

Balloon Boy wasn't teased of his existence in FNAF 3 until the day before the release of FNAF 3. He has the most unique reputation of being the most hated (or even loved, only being rivaled by Foxy). Something tells me that BB will make another surprise appearance in this game as well. Note how Scott lists the main animatronics in the game description, but also mentions that "other creatures" will creep in as well. Most notably being the Fredlets.

Since we are playing as a child, and BB is the only animatronic(?) representing both a human AND a child, do you think we can expect more lore behind BB? After all, since FNAF 2 his presence has been quite strong in recent games.

It wasn't the day before release it was a couple of days. And even then the last teaser was Phantom Foxy and Phantom Chica. And by other creatures I'm assuming he meant Fredbear, Plushtrap, Mini-Freddys and unannounced nightmare animatronics. One of them could be BB.

I suppose it depends on the time zone. I really hope that BB makes an appearance, and gives us more than a scare.

Could very well be true. But I think he has spent far too much time in the spotlight to just be completely ignored on the final stretch. Very much like mangle.

What? When has he ever been in the spotlight? He was completely ignored by the Phone Guy in FNAF 2 and was never put in the map of the "save them" minigame, when all the other animatronics were.

And on top of that, he's the most hated character in FNAF.

By "spotlight" I mean unique attention. He's the most weirdly behaved, he is almost always ignored by in-game entities (such as the phone guy, like you mentioned), and him and mangle were the only ones from their generation of machines represented in a "burnt" state in FNAF 3, not including the puppet.

I just think that there must be an underlying reason why that is so.

ROFL. Instead of a flashlight, give us some darn BALLEWNZ to defend ourselves with.
