“ | You're all getting a reward, BFDI DDSs. The super fun portable handheld video game console will let you play the most exciting games on 12 screens. A dodecascreen. Plus, it's foldable. | ” |
The BFDI DDS is a handheld game console that first appears in "A Leg Up in the Race" as a prize given to the final twelve contestants remaining in the competition. It features twelve screens for gameplay, hence the name "DDS," which stands for "dodeca-screen." The console is also foldable, as shown when it wraps into four sections around Match.
Appearance[]
In BFDI, BFDIA, and TPOT 14, the BFDI DDS is a thin board with 12 tiny screens, a D-pad, a circle pad, and multiple other buttons. The buttons are outlined in gray and colored white.
In BFB, the console is colored deep purple instead of white, matching the background objects' color scheme. The design itself remains mostly unchanged, except for the D-pad and circle pad swapping places.
In TPOT 15, the console retains its original design but with more detail and additional buttons on the controls. Two cameras are also added on the second and third sections. This design more closely resembles the Nintendo 3DS.
Coverage[]
The BFDI DDS first appears in "A Leg Up in the Race", where the final twelve contestants receive them as prizes.
