“ | Hello! | ” |
— One of Balloon Boy's quotes when idle in the office.

Balloon Boy, commonly abbreviated as BB, is a major antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's 2, who is a returning character that appears in Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted and Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery.
Physical Appearance[]
Normal[]
Balloon Boy is a plastic animatronic child with a caucasian skin tone, red cheeks and brown hair. His shirt is vertically striped red and blue, along with a matching propeller hat. He has light blue eyes, with tan eyelids, he has a triangular nose and he wears permanent grin. He wears two silvery buttons on his chest. He has a dark blue pair of pants and brown shoes. In his left hand, he holds a sign reading "Balloons!", and in his right he holds a yellow plastic balloon with a red diagonal stripe.
Five Laps at Freddy's[]
Balloon Boy appears as a significantly more cartoony version of himself, having no visible animatronic parts and a moveable mouth. Apart from the cartoony design, he remains mostly the same as his mainline counterpart.
Behavior[]
Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted[]
Five Nights at Freddy's 2[]
Balloon Boy appears in the FNaF 2, becoming active on the second night. His behavior remains the same as the original game; he will approach the player from the left air vent and peek out from its entrance. The player must don the Freddy Fazbear mask to deter him. Should the player fail to notice him and/or let him in, he will disable the player's lights and laugh repeatedly, leaving the player susceptible to an attack by Withered Foxy (or Foxy depending on what version of the game is being played).
Trick or Treat[]
Along with the other animatronics, Balloon Boy will run around the house after the player rings the door bell. If he is gone from the player's sight when the clock chimes, the player must wear the Balloon Boy mask. If the player puts on the wrong mask, Nightmare Balloon Boy will jumpscare them.

BB's jumpscare.
Balloon Boy is an uncommon animatronic to encounter. He will walk around the player, laughing, saying "Hi," and "Hello?" and making balloon deflating sounds. His main difference from other animatronics comes from his height. Being significantly shorter than the other animatronics, this forces the player to look down to spot him. The player must locate his static to find him. When he haywires, the player must quickly look away to avoid a jumpscare. He will fake charge the player on occasion, staying invisible. If he materializes during a charge, the player must shock him to avoid a jumpscare. It is possible to earn Balloon Boy's Plush Suit and CPU by defeating him.

Trivia[]
Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted[]
- In Trick or Treat minigame, Nightmare Balloon Boy was used as the jumpscare for Balloon Boy strangely.
- This is likely because BB did not already have a jumpscare.
- However, there is an animation of BB jumpscaring the player, that is left unused. The reason why it is unused is unknown, but it is probably due to Steel Wool finding it to not be scary.
- The few differences in this design is that his skin is more tan than peach colored & the red and blue stripes on him are more bright and pale than his normal appearance.
- This is likely because BB did not already have a jumpscare.
Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery[]
- BB is one of three characters in Special Delivery to receive a jumpscare after lacking one in previous appearances.
- The other two are Endo-01 and RWQFSFASXC.
- BB was the first Toy Animatronic to be in the game, releasing with it.
- Balloon Boy was both the last toy Animatronic to get a skin as well as the last character from the initial base rotation to get a skin.
