Beans

Beans is a character in Baldi's Basics Plus and Demo Style of Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered.
==Description==
Beans is a 2D-drawn human with a big mouth with a big gaping, toothless, gum-less, toilet-shaped lower jaw, a thin upper lip made as a black line, exposed gums, and five crooked teeth on his upper jaw. He wears a purple and yellow striped propeller beanie cap, hence the name Beans. He has bulging eyes, crooked teeth, floating flat eyebrows, and a massive chin. His arms are short and has four fingers on each hand. He wears a sleeveless bubblegum-pink shirt, deep magenta pants, and dark magenta pointed shoes. His chin appears to have some stubble.
He speaks with a distorted, echoing "mechanical" voice which can almost make all of his quotes difficult to understand what he is actually saying, unless the captions are enabled.
As seen in the thumbnail of from Padre Snowmizzle, Beans has one black short hair under his cap.
==Personality==
Beans likes to "impress" others by blowing out bubble gum bubbles but warns the people to not let an adult see it, meaning that if he does it, he will get detention, but currently in-game, he does not."Q: baldi's basics logic is just beans spitting a gum at you or at any character (even principal) and not get detention like player or bully does / A: That was also going to be an intended feature, but never got implemented" - Padre Snowmizzle. May 21, 2022. Discord He also enjoys rhyming, and is apparently very good at it. He is very honorable, being afraid of his bubble gum hitting the player. Also, he seems to have some shame after his bubble gum hits the player or an NPC.
==Artificial intelligence==
===Main gameplay===
Upon the player coming into his line of sight, Beans will spit a big pink bubble gum wad to them in any location, mostly in the hallways. Beans can only spit bubble gum in a straight line and the direction of bubble gum depends on where the player is. Whoever, both the player and all NPCs, comes in contact with the gum wad will be caught in the sticky gum and have their movement speed drastically reduced for 10 seconds. Upon getting hit by a gum wad, the player will be vulnerable to pursuing characters. However, the Safety Scissors can be used to cut off Beans' bubble gum if getting hit by it. If Beans' bubble gum hits any character or object, he will run away from his gum.
Beans' bubble gum can go through open doors and swinging ones, unless if they are locked or (in the case of one-way doors) the gum is on the wrong-way side of one if the door is closed. His bubble gum can go through Portal Poster as well.
===Other appearances===
* In Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, Beans is one of the three characters who exclusively appears in Demo Style, along with Chalkles and Cloudy Copter.
* In Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Exclusive Demo and before Baldi's Basics Plus V0.1.2, Beans' AI is not majorly different but his sticky gum slows the player down much more than usual and cannot be cut off with Safety Scissors.
==Tips & Tricks==
===Advantages===
* Beans can be helpful on some occasions, as his bubble gum can slow even riskier characters down:
** Baldi, to decrease his chance from catching up to the player.
** Principal of the Thing, after catching the player breaking a rule.
** Dr. Reflex, when he is angry after the player skips his minigame.
** Arts and Crafters, after all notebooks are collected. However, due to his speed, the chance of getting hit by Beans' bubble gum in this state may be slim.
** Gotta Sweep, prevented from not only sweeping the player in the wrong direction but also stops him from forward-pushing other characters that can put the player at risk.
===Neutral===
* Beans can spit bubble gum even if he is oriented opposite during the Gravity Chaos event or squished by Dr. Reflex's hammer.
===Disadvantages===
* Chalkles is the only character who is immune to his bubble gum.
* If the player is in an empty long hallway and there are no useful items to help escape from this situation, they have no other option than to be hit by Beans' bubble gum.
==Trivia==
===General===
* Beans was first made as a character for Padre's Baldi's Basics fangame. The concept was done by Malitschek (Jam)."Fun fact, as well: Beans was a character whipped up for a spoof Baldi fangame idea way back when. I would like to give credit where credit is due, though, and say that @malitschek was my main man in the first few iterations of Beans. Without JAM, the concept wouldn't even exist!" - Padre Snowmizzle. March 15, 2020. Twitter
* Beans is around 25 to 30 of an unknown unit of age, most likely years."Beans' age is in the ballpark of 25-30." - Padre Snowmizzle. August 7, 2020. Twitter
** Despite this, he is still a student who has been held back for that long due to him being bad at math."He is indeed a student still, just held back for *that* long for constantly sucking at math, lol." - Padre Snowmizzle. August 8, 2020. Twitter
** Beans has dyscalculia, a disability that affects one's ability to comprehend and learn arithmetic, explaining why he was held back for many years considering Baldi's school only teaches math. This information was confirmed by Padre Snowmizzle in a Discord chat group when asked if Beans experiences this disorder."To be quite frank, I had no clue that word remotely existed until you mentioned it but sure, lmao. Beans can do great with English, and to an extend, Drama. But because Baldi's school only teaches math, the dude's screwed" - Padre Snowmizzle. August 2020. Discord
** In case Beans is 30 years old, he would be older than Baldi, whose age is confirmed to be 29 years old.
* Padre Snowmizzle claims to have made a 3D model of Beans."Plus, technically speaking, there does exist a 3D model of Beans made by me :)))" - Padre Snowmizzle. May 21, 2022. Discord
* Beans' "glitchy" voice effect was made in Sony Vegas Pro 13."Q: You used voicemod for beans voice? / A: Nope. I recorded raw, and all I did was apply his glitchy effect in Sony Vegas Pro 13, of all things. Myst applied the dithering after" - Padre Snowmizzle. May 21, 2022. Discord
* Beans was originally be going to a counterpart of the player. Padre Snowmizzle gave an example for this as Beans would spray BSODA at them."Then when it came to actually brainstorming Beans with Myst, originally he'd be what could considered your counterpart: he'd be able to vomit B-soda at YOU" - Padre Snowmizzle. May 21, 2022. Discord
* One of the lines when his bubble gum hits an NPC, "Aw, casserole.", is from Beans' bad memory about casserole."And uh, that very thing he vomited would be casserole, which relates to one of his lines, originally made for that fangame, lol." - Padre Snowmizzle. May 21, 2022. Discord
* The name Beans was derived from the phrase "beans and casserole"."Ah, Beans was a result of, "beans and casserole"" - Padre Snowmizzle. May 21, 2022. Discord
===Baldi's Basics Plus===
* Beans is the first character to not be designed, nor voiced, by mystman12 of select five characters (the other four being 1st Prize, Chalkles, Mrs. Pomp, and Johnny) but someone else, who is Padre Snowmizzle."In case it ain't obvious enough yet: yep, I made a character for Baldi's Basics. He's the gum-chewing, held-back, skipping spunk we all know and love: Beans. My thanks go out to @mystman12!" - Padre Snowmizzle. March 15, 2020. Twitter
* Beans's gum is nearly identical to the BSODA spray, although the functionality when touched is different.
* Principal of the Thing scolding Beans for spitting bubble gum was an intended feature, but it is not implemented in the game yet.
* The player is able to avoid Beans' gum if it is shot slightly off center down a hallway.
* Beans is one of the few characters that can slow the player's movement (but not completely stop them), in which the Big Ol' Boots will not let the player regain their normal speed.
* When Beans goes to the Principal's office for the party event, his sprite will float in mid-air once he stands idle, but when he spits gum, it will shoot from the same height.
* Beans' bubble gum can go through swinging doors, even if it is closed.
* By using BSODA, the player can push Beans' gum and hit him with it.
** This will slow Beans down just as it would with any other character getting hit.
* Even though Beans' bubble gum does not visually stick to certain NPCs like Playtime, it does affect their speed. This can easily be seen when any character is gummed while oriented opposite.
* Prior to V0.3, in the "Hooka, a-chew, I'mma chewin' mah gun. Booka, a-too, it's tons o'fum... Er, fun!" caption, the word "gum" was misspelled as "gun".
* Prior to V0.3.6, his gum would not disappear by colliding with a Grappling Hook or Alarm Clock.
* Prior to V0.4, there were some differences:
** Beans' gum covered the player's UI (Inventory, stamina and notebook counter), so it was hard to know how many stamina is left and what item is selected.
** There were no sounds for when Beans blows a gum bubble, when the gum wad passes by the player or other NPCs, and when it hits them or other objects.
** Beans did not run away even if his gum wad hit someone.
** Beans was immune to his own bubble gum.
* Prior to V0.4.1, Beans would stop spitting bubble gum when the party event began, as he would head to or enter the Principal's office into joining the party until the event was over after short amount of time.
===Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered===
* Beans' bubble gum can work on other Beans. This can be seen when Chaos Mode is activated.
==Glitches==
===Baldi's Basics Plus===
* If any character is in Beans' hitbox, the bubble gum will not hit them.
* If the player uses the Grappling Hook to Beans' bubble gum, the bubble gum will disappear after the Grappling Hook passes through it.
* Prior to V0.1.2, if the player activated the captions, when Beans says "Gum on the loose!" or "Oh no!", the caption used to say: "".
* Prior to V0.3, Beans' bubble gum would not hit the player when the interaction icon () appeared on the nearest structures, like the water fountain.
* In V0.3.5, Beans' bubble gum could pass through a window, even if it was not broken.
* Prior to V0.3.6, Beans' bubble gum overlay was still seen when opening an advanced map.
** In V0.3.5, the bubble gum overlay was only seen inside of the You Can Think Pad.
* Prior to V0.4, Beans' gum could hit characters through walls if they were on the other side of a room, and coming close to walls.
===Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Exclusive Demo===
* In V0.4 Pre-release, his movement became weird when switching between walking and running.
