=== Others ===
==== Joe's Ultimate Bus Ride ====
Joe's Ultimate Bus Ride was a planned pinball game before mystman12 decided to drop the project to make Baldi's Basics for the 2018 Meta Game Jam.
Joe's bus appeared in Baldi's Basics for field trip quests, implying that Joe's Ultimate Bus Ride and Baldi's Basics take place in the same universe, though Joe's Ultimate Bus Ride will not be included in the series."The game's release date of "eventually, at some point in time" still stands, but it definitely won't be a part of Baldi's Basics." - mystman12.

Years ago, before the game was created, mystman12 drew a series of numerous short comics titled Baldimore. The series featured Baldi himself, along with a few other characters who did not return in the game.

* Baldi as a Mii is officially made by mystman12 for Tomodachi Life and Miitopia.
** Baldi's hair in Tomodachi Life Mii is actually a purchasable hat in this game."Yeah, that's technically a hat that you can buy in Tomodachi Life, so you can't have it outside of the game." - mystman12. June 8, 2018. Twitter
