Blast Ball (Obstacle)

**Blast Balls** are items in Fall Guys, first appearing in Season 1. They are explosives with faces (as well as a bandage on their underside), used to knock opposing Fall Guys into the slime or to stun them.

## Obstacle description

Blast Balls, in their default state, are yellow with a happy expression. They typically appear out of designated spawners, but can also be shot out of cannons. When picked up by a Fall Guy, a Blast Ball will turn red with an angry expression, and begin squeaking. If the Blast Ball makes direct contact to a Fall Guy or seconds after being picked up, it will explode, blasting away nearby Fall Guys and triggering nearby Blast Balls to explode as well. They can be thrown by releasing them, and jumping before throwing alters their trajectory. Blast Balls are not destroyed upon exploding, and if they do not fall into the slime, they briefly become bluish-gray, before becoming yellow and ready to be picked up again. Blast Balls that do fall into the slime will respawn at their spawn point.

### Blast Ball

Blast Ball, as the name suggests, features several Blast Balls, as well as six spawn points where they will respawn if dropped in the slime below. As time goes by and parts of the arena collapse, some of those spawners will fall as well.

### Blastlantis

Blastlantis is very similar to Blast Ball, wherein it is a round that centers around eliminating players through the use of Blast Balls. Six Blast Ball spawn points can be found.

### Dizzy Heights

The Season 2 variant of Dizzy Heights featured several Blast Balls, with some appearing on its spawn points, while some are shot through the cannons. It has similarities with the variant found in Blast Ball Bangers.

### Hex-A-Terrestrial

A Season 2 variant of Hex-A-Terrestrial featured Blast Balls, where it simply spawns in a fixed location, not being accompanied by a spawn point. The default state of a Blast Ball doesn't trigger the hexagonal tiles, but its explosion can trigger a huge portion of the tiles.

### Tail Tag

The Season 2 variant of Tail Tag featured Blast Balls. They can be found on the two spawn points at the lower part of the stage, while two more can be found resting on top of hexagonal tiles at the upper part of the stage.

### Tip Toe

The Season 2 variant of Tip Toe featured six Blast Balls together with two spawn points. They can be used to quickly reveal the nature of the tiles on this round. It has similarities with the variant found in Blast Ball Bangers.

### Blast Ball Bangers

Blast Balls are heavily featured in the Blast Ball Bangers (previously named Spartan Showdown) show, where they appear in every round. Spawners are added to Dizzy Heights, Gate Crash, and Tip Toe, while cannons are added to Big Shots and Thin Ice that shoot Blast Balls onto the platform.

## Trivia

* Blast Balls greatly resemble the expanding balloons found in Party Promenade and Pipe Dream.
* In the Free For All cinematic trailer, the energy of a Blast Ball's explosion is used to create a beam of rainbow light.
* Currently this is the only obstacle introduced in Season 1 that also appears in levels from other seasons, since Blast Balls could be found in Season 2 variations of Dizzy Heights, Tail Tag, Tip Toe and Hex-A-Terrestrial, as well as the standard version of Blastlantis. In Blast Ball Bangers, they can also be found in Gate Crash, Big Shots and Thin Ice. The other obstacles from that season (Speed Rings, Jump Ropes and Bounce Pads) don't currently appear in any levels outside Season 1, however Season 3 introduced Speed Boosts, which function the same way as Speed Rings but look different.
* During Season 3, a picked up Blast Ball would often appear black-colored instead of red, or occasionally have other colors or patterns.
* During Season 3, a bug made it so Blast Balls would sometimes launch players before exploding.
* A Blast Ball appears in the Close Call Celebration.
* The Fall Force Update made Blast Balls explode much earlier, making it very likely to be eliminated because of your own Blast Ball in the days after the update. This change has been reverted as of Tool Up Update.
