Endless Mode

Endless Mode is the secondary mode in the Baldi's Basics series. The goal is to collect as many notebooks as possible until Baldi catches the player.
== Gameplay ==
=== Baldi's Basics Plus ===
The player can choose either the "Random" level or the "Medium" level before starting Endless Mode. In the elevator, the floor acronym is "END", no matter which option they pick.
* Random - Randomly generates a level with a custom or random seed. It is also possible to generate a seed by clicking on the high score.
* Medium - Starts the level with a pre-generated medium-sized map.
Baldi's behavior is different than in the Hide-and-Seek mode. Collecting a notebook will slightly decrease his speed, emphasizing the goal to collect as many notebooks as possible, and allowing the player to avoid him longer in-game.
Baldi eventually speeds up more and more on his own, with collected notebooks slowing him down. After some time, Baldi will become so fast that he will be impossible to avoid. Therefore, in order to achieve a high score, the player must collect as many notebooks as possible while Baldi is slower. The longer the game lasts, and the more notebooks the player collects, the faster Baldi will become overall.
=== Classic/Birthday Bash/Classic Remastered ===
Upon starting, the gameplay is no different until the player reaches the third notebook. Instead of having an unsolvable third math question in Story Mode, each question is answerable, as well as all of the notebooks after. Aside from this, Baldi's behavior also changes. Answering all three problems correctly in a notebook will slightly decrease his speed, emphasizing the objective to answer as many math problems correctly as possible, and allowing the player to avoid him longer in-game.
While Baldi will still become faster should the player answer a problem incorrectly, the speed curve will gradually increase independently over time. Thus, he will eventually speed up more and more on his own, with correctly answered notebooks making him slower and slower. After a certain amount of time, Baldi's speed will become so fast that he will be practically impossible to avoid, meaning that in order to achieve a high score, they must get as many notebooks as possible while Baldi is still slow. The longer the game lasts, and the more problems the player gets wrong, the faster Baldi will become overall.
In Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, none of the Fun Settings work in this mode because it is not fair to keep scores with and without these settings in the same leaderboard."Currently fun settings don't work in endless mode, but I might change that in the future. The only catch is that I probably won't be able to make separate leaderboards for endless mode with fun settings on. That's the reason they don't currently work in endless, as it's not really fair to compare scores with and without fun settings on." - Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered Steam Community Hub

* In V0.3.4, Principal of the Thing would not scold the player for escaping detention in the Medium level.
