| “ | It's okay, Bomby. You're only a little bit exploded. | ” |
In BFDI, BFDIA, and IDFB, but mostly BFB and TPOT, characters will occasionally change their appearance throughout all or part of the show. Although these changes are often temporary and are changed back to normal, usually after a character’s death and recovery, there are other times when the changes are permanent. It is assumed that original appearances of the characters who have changed will return once they die, though there are some instances where this was not the case.
In order for a change to count, it must be a noticeable physical change (thus, excluding ones such as Robot Flower acting like Flower), must last longer than one episode, and must be a canon change.

Trivia[]
- So far, the only characters left with character changes are:
- TPOT: David, Lollipop, Yellow Face and Donut as of episode 12.
- BFDIA: Pin, Ruby and Bomby, as of episode 14.
- As of BFB 15, Woody has had the most changes in one body. These changes include: piece chipped off by Rocky in "Take the Plunge: Part 1" (which becomes permanent), turned orange in "Four Goes Too Far", dented by Bell in "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", and became smaller after he entered Four's eye in "Don't Dig Straight Down".
- He is also the first character to receive a change, as well as a permanent one.
- He’a the only Season 1 contestant who received a permanent change
- Match is the first character to receive a change that isn't permanent.
- Pin, Bomby, Ice Cube, Donut and Yellow Face are the only contestants who kept temporary changes even after dying.
- In Pin and Bomby's cases, it is possible that whenever the prize wheel changes someone's body, it is permanent, unless it gets undone manually.
- In Pin, Ice Cube, and Donut's cases, removal of limbs, faces and sizes appears to be permanent, unless it gets undone manually.
- This might also be the case for Fanny, who lost her mouth in "Balancing P.A.C.T.".
- Book was not recovered with a recovery center but with anti-poison, which is why she kept her design change in "Insectophobe's Nightmare 4".
- This might be because the recovery centers were made before their design changes.
- As of BFB 15, David and Dora are the only contestants to keep their changes in the EXIT. While Dora's is permanent, David still has his change in TPOT.
- As of TPOT, Saw, Needle and Ice Cube are the only contestants to start a season with their character design changes from BFB being carried over.
- However, due to Ice Cube and Needle's character changes now being gone, this leaves Saw the only contestant left with a character change from BFB. However, this change is permanent.
- Lollipop is the only contestant so far to end a season with a temporary change.
