Hot Cross Bun

*Not to be confused with **Hot Cross Bun B**, or any similar characters.*

## Appearance

Hot Cross Bun appears as a Hot Cross Bun (See: Wikipedia) with a face and Object Limbs. The cross on top of him is yellow instead of white, however.

Various of Hot Cross Bun's power-up forms are different than most characters' forms, with the following changes:

* Fire Hot Cross Bun's cross is now Orange, and he has a feather on his head, usually depicted on the left side.
* Hammer Hot Cross Bun lacks a shell on the back, instead opting for just the helmet.
	+ Despite this, he is still unable to properly sit down or slide down slopes for an unknown reason.
* Superball Hot Cross Bun lacks shading, and his cross is now more blocky.
* Carrot Hot Cross Bun dons a Headband with Bunny Ears, rather than just bunny ears.
	+ The form is also called Carrot HCB, rather than Bunny HCB. This is intentional.
	+ This headband is incapable of falling off, and the power-up still functions the same overall.
* Rather than wearing it on his back, Shell Hot Cross Bun wears it more as armor. It still retains the same functions.
* Flying Hot Cross Bun has a Red Ring of energy around him, similarly to his God Form.
	+ Additionally, the cross on him is now red, and the rest of him is a very dark red.
* Boo Hot Cross Bun has proper arms, alongside a slight yellow hue.
* Ice Hot Cross Bun's cross is now Cyan, and he dons a blue parka and brown boots.
	+ This is a reference to Popo from Ice Climber, as evidenced by the contrast with HCBB's ice form.
* Rock Hot Cross Bun gets a rock covering the top of him rather than a full-on outfit. There is also a faint cross in this rock.
* Cloud Hot Cross Bun's cross is now covered by a cloud resembling it, having a full-on cloud outfit on his bottom half. He also has yellow sleeves and brown boots.
* Both Flying Squirrel & P-Flying Squirrel HCB's outfits are separated in a similar way to Cloud HCB.
* Like with Hammer HCB, Boomerang HCB only has a helmet and has no shell on his back.
* Just Weird Hot Cross Bun's limbs are elongated, rather than his whole body.
* Zap Hot Cross Bun's cross is now light yellow, and he has a crown resembling the Zap Weed itself.
	+ This design was actually suggested by TAG, the power-up's creator.
* Dreamy Hot Cross Bun has slight hints of green, and various small bubbles around him.
	+ However, his SMB1 sprite instead depicts this with changing all of the brown in the sprite to green.

## Personality

As a character, Hot Cross Bun is usually pretty chill. (adding more later)

## Powers

Hot Cross Bun Cannot use his powers normally in RP, due to him being HEAVILY nerfed compared to canon.

## Trivia

* Hot Cross Bun was gonna have a nerfed version of his powers in RP at first, evidenced by his character info as well as early RP with him. The idea was scrapped because his creator thought none at all was more interesting.
	+ This can be seen in 3/19/2023's Narrator Console Info, seen below.
	+ This was later partially re-implemented with his Dreamy Form.

* Virus Z & Theonio are the only two people Hot Cross Bun genuinely hates.
* Hot Cross Bun & Cross Xalnia were initially the same character, with Xalnia being HCB's human form. This has since been retconned due to various reasons that will not be stated here.
