Battle for Dream Island

The Cheese Orb first made his sole noteworthy appearance in "Hurtful!" where he was tragicly sliced into four pieces by Announcer and used as cake during that episode's Cake at Stake. Upon his demise, several other contestants mourned the Cheese Orb's death and claimed they were friends with him.

The Cheese Orb later appeared in "Insectophobe's Nightmare 2" as a recommended character by shadowmario899. This also means that the Cheese Orb appears in the stands in "Return of the Hang Glider".

A Cheese Orb Recovery Center appeared in "Return of the Hang Glider" and was destroyed by Flower when she threw it into an incinerator. The Cheese Orb was seen as part of the Grand Cake as the cheesecake.

Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two

The Cheese Orb appears in "Seasonal Shift" as one of the many hosts that glitched in amongst the other hosts as the timeline of the show fell apart. He announced that Liy was safe before he glitched into VR Headset, and later started the intro.

Deaths

1. "Hurtful!"- Sliced to pieces by the Announcer.
2. "Insectophobe's Nightmare 2"- Is eaten by bugs.

Trivia

• Cheese Orb is one of the few characters who have been used as a cake for Cake at Stake, the others are Pie, Donut, Firey Speaker Box, Teardrop, Lollipop, Leafy, and the Carrot Cakes.
• The Cheese Orb and the Announcer are the only non-contestants to have their very own recovery center.
• Him and Yellow Face sound alike, due to both being voiced by Michael Huang.
  • Coincidentally, both are yellow and round.
• His design is based on Emmental, a type of Swiss cheese which also has holes.
  • His design is also loosely based on Swiss, Grevé, Jarlsberg, Maasdam and Leerdammer cheeses which also has holes.
• Given how personal recovery boxes instantly recover contestants, it's suggested Cheese Orb was recovered. However, Cheese Orb's condition is never stated after he is used as part of the Grand Cake.
• He shares a very similar appearance to Black Hole, since they are both have a round middle with an outside light.
• It's likely he was killed again to make the Grand Cake.
• He is the first food character that wasn't originally a recommended character, followed by Barbecue Sauce and Pineapple.
• He is one of the few characters to make an appearance and start the intro despite not being there from the start, alongside Profily and Purple Face.
• It's said in "Hurtful" that Firey is his friend.
• He is similar to Spongy:
  • Both are yellow.
  • Both have holes.
  • Both are voiced by Michael Huang.
