An example of a budget cut, where the contestants get sent to space.
Pencil, Pen, Leafy, Blocky and Spongy are puppets before the intro.
Budget Cuts are a running gag during Battle for Dream Island. There were 10 budget cuts, along with 1 fake budget cut, which took place starting on Reveal Novum (the fake one on Bowling, Now with Explosions!).
In seasons 2 and on, the budget cuts appear to be solved, as none have happened yet.
Occurrences
