Tennis Ball

Tennis Ball (nicknamed "TB") is a male contestant on Battle for Dream Island, Battle for Dream Island Again, IDFB, and Battle for BFDI. In BFDI, he was on the Squashy Grapes, as well as Another Name, while on BFDIA, he was on Team No-Name. It is shown that he has a magnet in episode 14, which he used to win an extra 15 bonus points by retrieving Bally and Marble and the rest of the Announcer's marble collection from a vat of hydrochloric acid as well as 10 bonus points for being armless. He was eliminated in Reveal Novum in which the contestants voted. Both he and Leafy got two votes causing a tiebreaker. The tiebreaker challenge was to jump across a gorge. He fell off the ledge and into the Tiny Loser Chamber (TLC) at the bottom. The magnet he used to retrieve Announcer's marble collection was then shown once more in Gardening Hero where he threatens to demagnetize The Announcer in his promo picture if The Announcer calls him "clumsy" again. He then shows the effects of the magnet in The Glistening when Announcer calls him "clumsy" once more.

Appearance
Tennis Ball appears to be a fuzzy tennis ball with painted white stripes. His main body/felt is a bright yellow, and his stripes are white. He used to be a lemon yellow but was changed to a lighter shade in IDFB.

Personality
Tennis Ball is known to be intelligent and ideal for solving problems and creating new innovations - such as "Grotatoes". Unfortunately, he is very clumsy because of his size and the fact that he does not have any arms. He is also very cautious and preferred to think first before making decisions. He is a nice character overall and is more polite than Golf Ball. He appears to like being close to Golf Ball because there is a 'platonic' relationship going on between the two as stated by Golf Ball herself in Take the Plunge: Part 2.

Team History
Tennis Ball was picked by Leafy to be on the Squashy Grapes in Take the Plunge: Part 2 since she states that Tennis Ball is smart. He then is one of the three people along with Needle and Leafy to pick Golf Ball on their team. After that, he then states how Flower won't be as much of a threat if she is on their side.

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare", the teams were uneven (the Grapes had 10 contestants while the Squishy Cherries had 5), so The Announcer decided to split the Grapes into half with Rocky being the leader in one team and Leafy being the leader of the other team once more. Rocky then picks Tennis Ball as his first teammate by vomiting at him since he forgot how to talk. He then picks Golf Ball since he states they are both a "duo", after that he picks Coiny. Firey is then forced to be on their team as he is the last contestant with no team much to the dismay of Coiny. Firey suggested that he wanted the team to be "Squashy Grapes", but Golf Ball disagreed since Leafy's team are already the "Squashy Grapes" and told him that the team name had to be "another name". The Announcer named the team Another Name as a result.

In "A Leg Up in the Race", he and Coiny are the 2 contestants in Another Name team with the most votes and therefore the Squashy Grapes have to pick which person should be on their team. Tennis Ball convinces them to pick him since Coiny will just slap Firey. Tennis Ball never had a chance to be with the second Squashy Grapes since the Announcer reveals teams are being removed in favor of points.

In BFDIA, Tennis Ball is the one to suggest that teams should be between Veterans and New Contestants in "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", which Donut does not agree on since they are outnumbered. After Donut has an argument with Pencil, the teams become Donut, Coiny, and Pin in W.O.A.H. Bunch with the rest of the contestants in Team No-Name.

In BFB, Tennis Ball is helping Golf Ball find Leafy for unknown reasons. He and Golf Ball are adopted by 8-Ball and Basketball because they were both balls. They all become A Better Name Than That. While trying to retrieve the baskets, he is killed by Blocky because Tennis Ball put himself as co-manager. He apparently made a trebuchet before he died which the team used to send the basket to X which knocked him off. In Lick Your Way To Freedom, he is revived by Four by Grassy's request. He tried to stop his teammates from replacing Golf Ball as the leader but failed.

In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", he listens to 8-ball and does the opposite of Golf Ball's orders and increases their chances of winning until Golf Ball used reverse psychology. This continues in "Today's Very Special Episode" as Tennis Ball tells Golf Ball that they're just following orders when they're wasting time. He along with the others from their team try to stop Golf Ball when she starts drawing their 4 by herself yelling "Treason". After barely avoiding elimination thanks to Golf Ball and 8-ball's confession, Tennis Ball proclaims that he doesn't want to disrespect Grassy when Basketball and Blocky grumble about Golf Ball not respecting others.
