Grapple Challenge

The Grapple Challenge (also known as the grappling hook challenge) is one of the challenges from Baldi's Basics Plus.
== Gameplay ==
In this challenge, the player cannot walk, presumably due to their legs being broken; however, they will have the Grappling Hook at the very start and can use it as many times as they want, because it always reappears in the first inventory slot. Therefore, the player has 4 empty slots to store other items.
It's a Bully cannot take the Grappling Hook from the player's inventory, but he will not let them pass when they only have Grappling Hook in the first slot.
== Strategy ==
The map is about as large as a traditional floor 3 map but is never randomized. Baldi, Gotta Sweep, It's a Bully, and Mrs. Pomp appear in this challenge, and Baldi will increase in speed at much sharper degrees than other modes.
The Grappling Hook can cause ludicrous speed to be achieved, specifically by shooting a dozen hooks down the center of a long hallway. These may take a long time to actually grab but can be mitigated somewhat if the player shoots the walls just slightly ahead of them, allowing incremental movement across tight turns.
Gotta Sweep is only a serious issue if he pushes Baldi closer to the player. Mrs. Pomp's classroom can be reached remarkably fast due to the Grappling Hook's functionalities but might cause some problems if Baldi happens to block the path. It's a Bully will not take the Grappling Hook if it is the only item the player has in their inventory, and the player can pass through him when using a Grappling Hook from a long distance. This can be used to escape from Baldi as NPCs cannot pass through him.
An Apple for Baldi and the BSODA can be lifesavers, for giving an extra life in a dire circumstance and pushing a dangerous character for a long time respectively. However, there are not that many of them.
If the player chooses to go out of their way to stock up on WD-NoSquee, it can prevent Baldi from going toward their location at much speed in the late game. It also helps as being an item for It's a Bully to take and deactivate.
Some dead end hallways exist, which can be harmful if Baldi is moving quickly, and the player is struggling to fire the Grappling Hook. This is something to be wary of, especially toward the left of the initial player spawn point.

== Trivia ==
=== General ===
* The Grapple Challenge was first featured in Baldi's Basics - Challenges Demo as one of the first three challenges.
=== Baldi's Basics Plus ===
* Prior to V0.5, the challenge's description had a grammatical error, where the first part read as "You're legs might be broken," instead of "Your legs might be broken,".
* It is unknown why there is a Principal's office when Principal of the Thing is not featured in the challenge.
* Prior to V0.3.3, there was no An Apple for Baldi in this challenge and the lockdown door was closed at the beginning.
** Since this version, a chalkboard, a window and a few posters have been removed.
== Glitches ==
=== Baldi's Basics Plus ===
* Even though It's a Bully appears in the challenge, his poster is not in the Principal's office.
* Prior to V0.1.3, the playground's trees in the Grapple Challenge were invisible but still had collision.
* In V0.3.3, even if the player did not get off the elevator, the door would be closed. The player could progress the game because they can pass through the elevator door while being inside it.
* From V0.3.3 to V0.3.7, It's a Bully would let the player pass if they only had the Grappling Hook and he could take away a Grappling Hook in the first slot. However, the item would immediately spawn back in the player's inventory, so they could still make progress in the challenge.
=== Baldi's Basics - Challenges Demo ===
* There were several bugs in V1.0.
** There was a blue locker near the start of the challenge instead of a red one. It was possible to prevent Baldi and other characters from ever spawning, by using the Grappling Hook on the blue locker near the starting elevator and spamming the interact key. Doing so would prevent the elevator from ever closing and Baldi from ever spawning, allowing the player to freely beat the game. The only way to fix the bug was restarting or winning. This blue locker was later re-added in Baldi's Basics Plus V0.3.3 and all characters will spawn normally even after entering the blue locker near the elevator.
** When the player tried to enter the entrance with all notebooks, sometimes they got inside of the entrance and were soft locked. This happened when they closed the gate and entered in the elevator area at the same time.A window from one of the walls had a blank (white) texture known to be the window mask.
** The player could get stuck in doors and elevator gates if they shut while being pulled towards them by using the Grappling Hook.
** It's a Bully would sometimes not disappear even when the player has other items.
