Mistakes in Five Nights at Freddy's

A list of mistakes made throughout the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, such as plot holes, model clipping, or typos.

This is still W.I.P.

## General

* The models clip a lot. The main reason for this is due to the bulky designs that some of the characters have. Most jumpscares and appearancses in *Help Wanted* gives the mask a more fabric-like look. Also, the animatronics are not actually able to sit down because of the way the models are made and how their thighs go through their torsos.
* The Withered animatronics have loose wires as their core design. They still have autonomy over their body despite those wires being severed, causing some limbs to be defunct.
	+ This could just be more proof of the animatronic's paranormal behavior.

## Five Nights at Freddy's

* The Steam art cover has Freddy's jaw clip through his bowtie.
* The first shot of the game's trailer has Freddy's endoskeleton clip through his palm.
* In the game's trailer, Freddy's jaw clips through his bowtie in one scene.
* A hanging star clips through Bonnie's forehead during one shot of the trailer.
* Bonnie's ears clip *through the camera* in one shot of the trailer. This happens because the hud is an object.
	+ This is just one of many instances of Scott Cawthon creating models of things that many assume are 2D images, such as some Minigame sprites.
* Foxy's jumpscare has his right ear clip through the upper part of the door
* the lighting during foxy's jumpscare is kind of high, meaning that the monitors on the table reflects the room, and it reveals..... (drumroll please!)... that there is no player model
* Foxy's jumpscare has his teeth turn from golden to white.
* Foxy's Torso also clips into his pants during his jumpscare

* "Kids vanish at local pizzaria - bodies not found" has the word "pizzeria" misspelled as "pizz**a**ria". This mistake continues for the next several newspapers.

* "Local pizzaria theatened with..." has both "pizzeria" misspelled as "pizz**a**ria" and "threatened" misspelled as "theatened".
* "...video survelience identified the..." has the word "surveillance" misspelled as "survelience".
* Bonnie slightly hovers above the stage in the "CELEBRATE!" poster.
	+ Scott also confirmed that bonnie defies the laws of physics making he was hovering in stage.
* Golden Freddy contains the same handprint the original Freddy has.
* Chica's eyes disappear if she and Freddy are on the stage alone.
* At power outage, the 2 doors were not darkened.

## Five Nights at Freddy's 2

* Toys freddy's lower jaw clips through his head when he is in the office
* Toy Bonnie does not have his right arm in the teaser featuring him.
* Withered Chica's insides aren't textured, as seen from this angle.
	+ Withered Chica's neck endoskeleton is just stuck on to her head.
* Toy Chica's waist clips through her shorts in Party Room 4.
* Toy Chica's left leg clips through the Left Air Vent, and her left upper arm clips through her waist.
* When in the Parts and Services room, Foxy's endoskeleton's waist area isn't connected to the legs.
* Mangle does not fit in the rooms lighting wise.
* Mangle's second endoskeleton clips through their ear here and here.
* Mangle's second endoskeleton head blatantly clips through the Right Air Vent.
* The last frame of Withered Bonnie's jumpscare has his thumb suddenly jut forwards while everything stops. **\*Warning, link leads to jumpscare\***
* Withered Freddy's microphone clips through his hand when in the Office.
	+ His left shoulder's also clipping through his upper arm.
* Withered Foxy's jumpscare is designed to always leap in front of the player's view, this can result in Foxy appearing from one of the office's walls. This same thing happens with the Puppet and Golden Freddy's jumpscare.
* The first frame of Toy Bonnie's jumpscare has his knees and thighs clipped through his stomach.
* Withered Bonnie's Custom Night mugshot has his bowtie clip through his jaw.
* Balloon Boy has black buttons in the Left Air Vent blind spot. This may be due to lighting errors. His figurine has the same problem.
	+ His hand also clips through his sleeve.
		- His body also clips into the floor.
* Both Golden Freddy and Withered Freddy have wires clipping through their feet. (I thought that was, like, *foot decorations*. But no, they're wires.)
* The mysterious liquid on the floor in Party Room 2 remains there for an entire week, never cleaned. Hmm.
* A classic: Phone Guy says that working in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is a "summer job", even though the paycheck at the end clearly says November. The messages aren't pre-recorded even; Phone Guy informs us in real-time what's happening to us and the location.
	+ It's possible that all phone calls prior to Night 6 are pre-recorded and Fazbear Entertainment did not bother checking the phone calls. That behavior is consistent in later installments; leaking the e-mails between the brand and the rogue indie developer in *Help Wanted*.
* There's no visible kitchen in the map. It'd be weird to assume that the kitchen would be treated like a Safe Room.

## Five Nights at Freddy's 3

* Realistically, the Purple Guy corpse inside Springtrap would take from around three weeks to several years to fully turn into a skeleton, the process of which would take faster depending on the humidity of the area (and seeing as the building was leaking water, a fast process would've happened). It's possible that the Remnant introduced in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator explains the error as Remnant makes someone alive even at the most fatal of deaths.
* Afton's face clips through the Springtrap mask in one of the frames on the menu.
* CAM 11 and 14 have Springtrap's right arm clipping through the vent wall.
* CAM 15 has his left arm clipping through the vent wall.
* The second rare screen has both halves of Springtrap's left arm clipping with one another.
* The third rare screen has Springtrap's right hand clip through his ear.
* Springtrap's first position in CAM 07 has his entire right half clipping into a piece of wall. (Image on the right shows a faint red line since it's difficult to see normally.)
* The "LET'S EAT!" bib texture on Phantom Chica is shifted to the left, although it's very difficult to notice.
* Phantom Chica's jumpscare has a few oddities. **\*Warning, link leads to jumpscare.\***
	+ Her right shoulder apparently clips with the rest of the arm.
	+ Her left arm twitches and bugs out to face the back, while her right arms does a swim-like movement.
* Phantom Foxy has a red wire on his head that's not connected to anything.
* Phantom Foxy also hovers in the Office before lunging at the player. However, the fact that they're phantoms could explain the lack of adhering to the laws of physics.
* The left eye of Phantom Freddy sorta goes out of sync in his jumpscare. **\*Warning, link leads to jumpscare.\***

## Five Nights at Freddy's 4

* The first frame of Nightmare Bonnie's jumpscare has his left hand clip through the door frame.
* The last frame of Nightmare Bonnie's jumpscare has his left pupil go unaligned with the rest of his eye. This same mistake is in the first frame of that same jumpscare, in the extras menu, and his UCN icon. No idea why this visual mistake is made and *repeated*.
* Nightmare Balloon Boy's jaw clips under his shirt when he's on the chair.
* Nightmare Balloon Boy's jumpscare has some discrepancies.
	+ His thighs clips through one another
	+ His right thumb clips with the other fingers
	+ Throughout the animation, Nightmare Balloon Boy's teeth clip with one another.

* You can see Nightmare Balloon Boy's nose through his eye socket when he sits on the X.
* Nightmare Bonnie's Extras pose has a floating wire.
* Nightmare Chica's cupcake gives the same low-toned jumpscare noise in gameplay. In the Extras, however, Plushtrap's high-pitched jumpscare noise is used instead.
* Chica's lower jaw clips through her body when retreating.
* The black things that go beyond Nightmare Foxy's nose clip through his metal rings of his nuzzle. This is best seen in his Closet pose.
* Plushtraps endo hands Clip through his hands during his jumpscare.[1]
* Plushtraps Pelvis clips with his torso when he returns to his chair (Error is difficult to see).
* Nightmare Freddy's Bedroom jumpscare has his eyes spin. This doesn't happen with other jumpscares, so it's an odd moment.
* Nightmare Freddy's Bed jumpscare reveals that the top part of the table isn't even modeled in; the lamp is floating in mid-air.
* The Freddles clip on the bed's surface.
	+ The middle Freddle also clips through the bed to escape, though one can excuse it as a necessary clip/smear frame.
* The bully in the FNAF4 cutscenes has his skin color slightly changed in the last cutscene. People have used that as part of their theories.

## Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location

* Funtime freddy's ears move with the face plates when they open in parts service
* Ennard's eyebrows, are sometimes not present
* Bonnet's paw clips through her muzzle when she lowers down
* Certain animatronic parts clip into the floor of the scooping room. These include but not limited to: Bon Bon's ear, Funtime Foxy's arms and fingers, and Ballora's skirt
* Funtime Foxy's faceplates clip with their ears as seen in their jumpscare
* Michael's cutscene has the first frame of Springtrap's animation clearly visible before it starts; his blurred hand's visible.

## Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator

* Scraptrap apparently has bone ears, nose, and lips. No official explanation has been given as to why Scraptrap has bone ears, nose, and lips.
	+ The extreme blocky withering the suit has also gone unexplained in the games, though it could be for stylistic reasons.

* Scrap Baby's thighs are above her skirt in her rare screen picture. here wheels also clip through the ground

* Lefty's microphone clip into his left leg in the rare screen image

	+ Molten Freddy's left arm clips through the trash can in the rare screen

## Ultimate Custom Night

* Toy Chica uses both sides to attack, meaning that her sprite flips towards the side she's attacking. This proves troublesome since the text on her bib would flip too. This error was patched.
* Mangle's jumpscare has no endoskeleton jaw. **\*Warning, link leads to jumpscare.\***
* In Mangle's jumpscare, the endo head is seen detached from Mangles body.
* BB's button lighting issues continue, though it most definitely is due to lighting.
* Nightmare Freddy's mechanic description refers to Nightmare Freddy as just "Freddy".
* Scrap baby's thighs clip through her skirt when she is in the office

## Miscellaneous

* Mangle is flipped in the "THANK YOU!" image; pay attention to the flipped eyes.
* Endo 01 also has eyebrows in the "THANK YOU" image.
