| “ | But this game doesn't even have points! | ” |
Points were a mechanic introduced in Battle for Dream Island during "A Leg Up In The Race" to "Rescission", where the mechanic was later replaced with an immunity system.
Over the course of the episodes where points were being used, contestants would gain or lose points depending on their results on the episode's challenge. At the end, the bottom portion of the leaderboard, containing the contestants with the least points, would be held up for elimination for the next episode.
Before the screen was actually shown, in "A Leg Up in the Race", the contestants were standing on gray squares, later revealed to be moving pedestals with a number on them.
During the last few episodes where points were still being used, it went through a change in the episode "Reveal Novum" where it had become a wooden board, and could only hold 2 digit numbers at a time.
The points system hasn't returned in any of the subsequent seasons yet.
In How Loe Can You Grow?, and A Taste of Space, the points system is 'briefly reprised' by Four and X by helping X's garden, or help cooling him down, which adds points to the Have Cots and Have Nots, and by hurting X, subtracts the points given instead.
