=== Baldi's Basics - Field Trip demo: Camping ===
The pause menu just shows white non-pixelated text with a punctuation error and a misspelled word ("" instead of "PAUSED" and "" instead of "IT'S").
Other than pausing the game, the menu lacks other options and will be un-paused when pressing again.
=== Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo ===
The pause menu only shows black text, lacking the "" button. The screen becomes slightly darker when paused.

It is the same as in Baldi's Basics Plus prior to V0.3.3, but without the seed display.
== Trivia ==
=== General ===
* Baldi's nodding sprites are smaller than his shaking sprites.
=== Baldi's Basics Plus/Classic Remastered ===
* Both Baldi-head icons have less frames than in Baldi's Basics Classic and Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash when nodding or shaking.
=== Baldi's Basics Plus ===
* Prior to V0.3.3, the "" button was located at the middle of the screen.
* Prior to V0.3.5, the You Can Think Pad layout was zoomed in before the pause menu is featured.
=== Baldi's Basics Classic ===
* Prior to V1.3, there was no animation sprite of Baldi shaking/nodding his head, and instead, it was just plain text.
* From V1.3 to V1.3.2, Baldi's heads were constantly animated and the player could only press to quit or to resume the game. Since V1.4, Baldi's heads can be clicked/touched and will only be animated when the mouse cursor is hovered on any of them on PC or holding on them with a finger and sliding it across the screen on mobile versions.
