Battle for Dream Island Again

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3", 9-Ball is the 20th recommended character out of the 25 shown at the end.

Battle for BFDI

In "Lick Your Way to Freedom", 9-Ball appears as Donut flies over the recommended characters.

In "The Escape from Four", 9-Ball was one of the 26 recommended characters selected by Two as one of the eligible candidates to become a contestant in The Power of Two. For their audition, they have a pen in their mouth, and are messily writing "I don't have a favorite letter." After a while, they turn around to the camera and let out a gasp.

9-Ball's audition

Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two

In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", 9-Ball is first shown with the contestants and the eligible debutants on the ground when Two flies up to the top of the Hotel. Due to being high up, the contestants cannot hear Two's calls to do Cake at Stake. After Nickel fails to hear their calls, Two uses their telekinesis to bring the contestants and the eligible debutants up.

9-Ball gasps when Rubber Spatula is sent falling through the floor. Later, Two tells them that they only got 1,033 votes. They comment that that number sounds hard to spell, and that they wouldn't care anyway. 9-Ball can also be seen inside the hotel as Two and the contestants take the elevator down.

In "Outbreak At Stake", a zombified 9-Ball can be seen climbing up the hotel stairs after Two is bitten. They're later seen cornering Eraser, TV, and Teardrop as they try to sneak away through the vents. 9-Ball somehow manages to get into the vent, as they are later seen cornering Teardrop, just as they force their body through a vent cover.

Deaths

• "Outbreak At Stake": Bitten and turned into a zombie.

Trivia

• 9-Ball's audition may reference to 8-Ball's audition in BFDI 17 as they don’t have a favorite letter instead of number.
• 9-Ball is one of the two TPOT debutants who lack limbs, the other is Camera.
• 9-Ball, Avocado, and Onigiri were each one of the many recommended characters that were recommended on Reddit for IDFB 2, but were instead put in BFB 2. And due to being recommended on Reddit and not on Patreon, 9-Ball, Avocado, and Onigiri are the only TPOT debutants that were recommended for free.
  • 9-Ball is also the only one of these three to be recommended prior to this, and the only one to not be food.
• 9-Ball is one of the seven TPOT debutants who had appearances prior to BFB. The others are Battery, Camera, Discy, Nonexisty, Scissors, and Tape.
• Although claiming not to have a favorite letter, they could possibly have a bias for the letter R, as in their audition, the Rs in "favoRite" and "letteR" are capitalized.
• Their recommender in BFB 2 is also the voice actor for Conch Shell.
