Timothy Tortoise

Timothy Tortoise is an original character created for the 2022 Macy's Santa Claus Parade.

## History With The Parade

In 2022, the parade float designers dreamed up a self-propelled tortoise going by the name of Timothy. In addition to turning his head from side to side, his head could also go inside his giant shell, just like a real tortoise. The designers were proud of what they had accomplished. This float was retired after 2022.
The Energizer Bunny

The Energizer Bunny is the marketing icon and mascot of Energizer Batteries USA. It is a pink toy rabbit wearing sunglasses and blue and black striped sandals that beats a bass drum bearing the Energizer logo. Originally a parody of the pre-existing Duracell Bunny, still seen across the globe, in places like the UK, Europe, and Australia, the Bunny has been seen in television commercials in North America since his debut in 1988. The Energizer Bunny is also known for his long-running slogan, "It keeps on going and going and going and going...."

## History with the Parade

In 2022, the parade would partner up with Energizer where they would sponsor the first ever self-propelled Energizer Bunny float. The design features the Energizer Bunny marching to the beat of his own bass drum (just like in his commercials), sporting his signature sunglasses and blue sandals. The head could turn from side to side, and the hands would really beat the base drums, and like most other elf-propelled floats of this time, the legs would move as if he is actually walking down the route. He was retired after the 2022 parade.
TikTok

TikTok is an app for iOS, iPhone and other Apple-owned devices. TikTok is the most famous social media platform with millions of people taking part in viral challenges.

## History With The Parade

In 2022, the parade officially started a partnership with TikTok themselves to sponsor a float in the parade. The app's first float was called Santa's Gone Viral, and it features a giant Santa sculpt doing a viral challenge on TikTok, accompanied by live dancers doing dances to viral challenges.

The float was retired after 2022 due to the company ban.

The Masked Singer

The Masked Singer is an American reality singing competition television series. The series premiered on FOX on January 2, 2019. The show features costumed celebrities competing against each other. They sing each week, trying to make it to the finale in which they win the Masked Singer trophy. After the performances in each episode, the singer with the lowest amount of votes is eliminated and their identity is revealed.

Currently, the show is on its eighth season. The show is hosted by Nick Cannon, along with panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger. The show originally airs on FOX, but it also airs on Canadian network CTV. Celebrities who have competed on past seasons include T-Pain as Monster, Tyler "Ninja" Blevins as Ice Cream, Chris Daughtry as Rottweiler, Lil Wayne as Robot, Tony Hawk as Elephant, the late Bob Saget as Squiggly Monster, Tori Kelly as Seahorse, LeAnn Rimes as The Sun, Kermit the Frog as Snail, Nick Lachey of 98 Degrees as Piglet, Natasha Bedingfield as Pepper, the infamous Rudy Giuliani as Jack-In-The-Box and Jeff Dunham as Pi-Rat.

There are also several versions of this show around the world, with the show originating in South Korea under the title King Of Masked Singer. The United States would then get their own version of the show, which is the most famous one worldwide. Following that, many countries started producing their own versions of the show, including Germany, Australia, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Japan, the Canadian province of Quebec, and many more.

## History With The Parade

The Santa Claus Parade focuses on the American version of the show since that version is also seen in all provinces except Quebec. The Masked Singer started their partnership with the parade in 2021. Their first float went by the name of Anyone Can Happen. This was a self propelled float, just like more than half of the parade's float lineup. The float was a replica of the famous Masked Singer stage, along with a giant-sized replica of the Monster, who was T-Pain, complete with an animatronic moving eye, another giant replica of the logo, and many costumes from the show riding on or escorting the float. Cluedle-Doo's Lair can be seen at the back of the float. For the 2021 parade, the Hamster, Bull, Pepper, Chameleon, Turtle and Cluedle-Doo rode on the float. The costumes riding on the float will alternate every year but Cluedle-Doo will always remain on the float. The costumes walking in front of the float included Baby, Bulldog, Frog, Kitty, Piglet, Queen Of Hearts, Rottweiler, One of the Russian Dolls, The Sun and White Tiger. This would mark the first time the US costumes have been used outside of their native country. It's also a great introduction to the US version for viewers around the world.

The float returned in 2022 with the addition of Season 7 and Season 8 masks. In addition, the sponsor was changed to The Masked Singer as a franchise itself, as CTV was removed due to the Online Streaming Act controversies and issues with Canadian supremacy.

The float retired after 2022, like most returning floats.

Level 0

File:C1Icon.png

**Survival Difficulty: Class 1**
**》Safe**
**》Secure**
**》Minimal Entity Count**
**Level 0** is the 1st level of the Backrooms, and the first level many encounter.

## Description

**Level 0** is a seemingly infinite non-linear space, resembling the back rooms of a retail outlet. All rooms in **Level 0** appear uniform and share superficial features such as yellowed wallpaper, damp carpeting, electrical outlets, and inconsistently placed fluorescent lighting. However, no two rooms within the level are identical.

The fluorescent lighting present in **Level 0** hums at a constant frequency. This buzzing is notably louder and more obtrusive than ordinary fluorescent lights, and examination of the fixtures to determine the source has been inconclusive thus far. Secondly, the substance saturating the carpet cannot be consistently identified; it is not water, nor is it safe to consume.

Linear space in **Level 0** is altered drastically; it is possible to walk in a straight line and return to the starting point, and end up in a completely different set of rooms than the ones previously passed through. Due to this phenomenon, and the visual similarity between each room, consistent navigation of **Level 0** has proven very difficult. Devices such as GPS locators and compasses fail to function within the level, and radio communications are audibly distorted and often unreliable.

## Entities

**Level 0** is thought to be entirely devoid of life. To date, no interactions with other wanderers and/or entities during explorations have ever been recorded in the level.

## Entrances and Exits

### Entrances

* **Level 0**, and by extension, the Backrooms, can be accessed by accidentally noclipping out-of-bounds in normal reality.
* Noclipping out of certain levels may transport one to **Level 0**.

### Exits

There are four currently known methods of exiting **Level 0**.

* A variety of factors will eventually cause the hallways to fade into Level 1.
* Noclipping through a wall will transport one to Level -1.
* Breaking through the floor may lead to Level 27. It may also lead out into the void.
* Rarely, wandering far enough in any direction may lead one to the Manila Room.
