Appearance[]
Puffball is a light pink puffball, with darker pink shading and an orchid outline. She has no limbs. Her old design (seen in "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know") had a darker outline.
She talks in a vocoded voice, and whenever she speaks, the color of her body rapidly changes from one color of the rainbow to another and she sparkles. She can also fly and change her size. Also, when she gets traumatized she spits out a liquid with the colors of the rainbow. (Puffball Speaker Box has also done this before)
Changes[]
Pre-debut:
- Puffball is pale pink.
- Puffball's outline is black.
- Puffball has unevenly-shaped tufts of "hair".
- Puffball has poorly drawn facial features.
Unused:
- Puffball is fuchsia.
- Puffball's "hair" now slopes downward.
BFDIA 1:
- Puffball's color is lighter than her beta incarnation, but darker than her debut.
- Puffball has a more circular shape.
- Puffball's "hair" is grouped in big clumps rather than strands.

Personality[]
Puffball is quite strange, given her ability to change color and speak in a vocoded tone. She proclaims to be a nice person, and is usually calm and bubbly, except when wronged. She is also shown to be quite calm in times of stress, and can come up with ideas on the spot, such as when she recovered Gelatin and told him to freeze the members of W.O.A.H. Bunch in "It's a Monster" and when she used Fries to catch the rest of her team in "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?" because they kept going back and forth in the air.
BFDIA[]
Puffball is a nice contestant overall. She is able to come up with ideas quickly, as seen in "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", where she comes up with an idea to make the teams equal. However, consistently winning the prize quickly gets to her head, as she purposefully makes her team lose in "The Long-lost Yoyle City" for a chance to win another prize. This sense of entitlement is further shown in "Well Rested", where she attempts to attack Firey because she didn't want anyone spinning the prize wheel but her. She seems to mellow out after some time in the LOL, and does not appear to hold any grudges against her old team.
BFB[]
Despite appearing arrogant at times, Puffball seems to care deeply about her teammates, which is exemplified in "The Four is Lava" when she saved Foldy and Bell from Spongy's cannonball attacks.
Her selfishness is also seen when she cheats to win in "Questions Answered" after she helps Stapy give iance the Fake Buzzer and "This Episode Is About Basketball" when she eats Foldy and Bell's slices of cakes behind Stapy's back after promising him to save the cakes for them. Puffball has shown to be arrogant too, as seen in "What Do You Think of Roleplay?" when she (posing as Basketball) says that Grassy is "basic".
TPOT[]
Puffball appears desperate to gain attention and gratification, as seen in "Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters", when she gets jealous of TV taking all the credit for the challenge while she gets no praise for thinking of the rollercoaster, causing her to make an overly extreme rollercoaster in an attempt for her team to like her out of a fit of jealousy, only to make her team get a fairly low score.
She also has no qualms using other contestants and risking their lives to gain an edge if it means making other teams lose, as seen in "Gardening Zero" where she uses Ice Cube's body to force Death P.A.C.T. Again to either kill the flower to save her life or save the flower but let her die, showing she has a very vindictive and evil side to her.
Official Character Guide biography[]
No one really knows what Puffball is. She's pink, fluffy, and round. Whatever she is, she can fly, regurgitate rainbow substances when in distress, and change colors when she talks. Other than that, it's anybody's guess.
Puffball is self-indulgent and will do anything just for fun. Once, she built a stack of forks with some friends just to knock them down. When asked to make sure Foldy and Bell had cakes, Puffball ate them when no one was looking. She usually goes along with whatever Fries tells her to do.
Did You Know?: One of Puffball's dreams is to lose the ability to fly and gain limbs, even if just for a day.
Abilities[]
- Flight: Puffball can fly without getting tired. In "The Four is Lava", Puffball flew from Space back to Earth in 55 seconds. For reference, the distance covered was calculated to be 44793751.5308 meters. That means she can travel up to 812953.74829 m/s or 1,818,525.743312 mph, nearly 2,370 times the speed of sound.
- Size changing: Puffball can change her size at will. After BFDIA, she is never seen using this ability again until TPOT 4, where she resized into Lightning's bracelet.
- Rainbow barf: Puffball can vomit out a rainbow-like substance when in distress, like other members of the Puffball species.
- Hypnosis: In "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", Puffball's singing seems to send Firey into a trance. However, this is the only episode (so far) where she uses it.
- Heat resistance: Despite being flammable, she doesn't burn up completely as shown in Get Digging by Firey. She also got set on fire approaching Earth in Well Rested but was also unharmed.

Battle for Dream Island Again[]
In "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", Puffball was originally not going to be in BFDIA; but since Leafy, Bubble, and Flower were disqualified, she was allowed in, placing 20th. After Gelatin asks who the host was going to be, Puffball kept repeating "Yeah, who? I wanna know!" in a song for a while. When Donut argues about that his team is smaller, Puffball mentions that they will be equal if one person switches to their newbie team. When everyone was showing their favorite screens, Puffball's was Abraham Lincoln's head. During the challenge, Puffball's team easily won over the smaller team, consisting of Coiny, Donut and Pin.
In "Get Digging", numerous clones of Puffball laugh at the newly named W.O.A.H. Bunch as the walk to Cake at Stake. The teams have to make yoylestew. Firey remarks that it would take months of walking, to which Golf Ball retorts it would only take days of flying. This confuses Firey, as he forgets about Puffball. Behind him, she gets angry and grows in size to try and get his attention. Golf Ball points this out to Firey, to which the latter shrieks and accidentally sets Puffball ablaze (which does not kill her). Golf Ball orders Puffball (along with Book, Ice Cube, Needle, Gelatin, and Spongy) to go to Yoyleland and get the yoyleberries. Later, Puffball, along with the other objects who Golf Ball ordered to go to Yoyleland, are seen passing over Evil Forest. Gelatin complains, saying there isn't enough room, and proceeds to toss Spongy, Ice Cube, and Book off, leaving only him and Needle on top of Puffball. The three arrive and Puffball leaves Needle and Gelatin to pick berries, but hastily picks them up shortly after as they anger Leafy. Puffball's team loses the challenge as their yoylestew was too "complicated" and "sharp".
In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3", because she got the most likes at 387, Puffball won the prize, a personal speaker box. She reacted poorly to Pencil calling her "Puffy", but refused to slap her on account of her being "nice". When Pencil points out Puffball couldn't slap Pencil because she lacks arms, Puffball quickly dismisses this. She got 59 dislikes, the second least. She later enters her team's glass box, also being the only one who doesn't scream when the bugs are dropped, likely because of her flight.
In "Zeeky Boogy Doog", when the contestants realize that Dream Island is still missing, Puffball says she hopes they find it twice and then a third time but distorted and while barfing rainbows. The contest was to rebuild Dream Island. She asked what to name the island, but later Bomby fell into the incinerator and exploded Golf Ball's factory, causing all of them to die and Team No-Name to lose.
In "Get in the Van", Puffball wins the prize again with 424 likes. Her prize was the removal of another contestant's limbs. She was reluctant to have another contestant's limbs removed but chose Pin (the one who stabbed her speaker box) after being told by Firey Speaker Box that she must. She got 168 dislikes. After Cake at Stake, Puffball promises not to ever switch from Team No-Name. During the challenge, she carried her team to Yoyle Mountain. Gelatin then pushes Rocky, Tennis Ball, and Golf Ball off, and Fries tells her to turn around to save them.
In "No More Snow!", Fries is sleeping on Puffball and is woken up by a cloud raining down basketballs. He then asks where the rest of the team was, and Puffball says Gelatin pushed Golf Ball, Tennis Ball, and Rocky off her, which he remembers. She then tells him that he fell asleep and Firey and Gelatin tied their legs together and fell off. Fries asks where they were now. Puffball says they were probably eaten by Evil Leafy, who they quickly see afterward. Fries thinks that their teammates are inside Evil Leafy, so he tells Puffball to chase her, who is also chasing Book and Ruby. Book and Ruby climb up a tree with a rope holding a giant weight and they cut the rope, dropping the weight, killing Puffball, Evil Leafy, and Fries.
In "It's a Monster", Puffball was recovered by W.O.A.H. Bunch's members, who tried to threaten her, by calling her "Puffy", to fly them to Yoyle Mountain. This plan fails as she recovered Gelatin and told him to freeze them, and he did so. Afterwards, they recover the rest of the team, do roll call, and Puffball continues carrying everyone to Yoyleland. She then reaches the desert and flies above the FreeSmart SuperVan, getting her sight obscured by snow flying out of the van. She tells her team that she's going full speed and accidentally causes Golf Ball to slip off. Golf Ball is kicked out of the van and Puffball quickly turns around to catch her.
In "The Long-lost Yoyle City", Gelatin and Golf Ball criticize Puffball's choice of flying through Davidland. She tells both to stop complaining. Along the way, Gelatin and Firey tie their legs together and almost fall off, but Gelatin grabs onto Puffball. Once they are out of Davidland, Puffball drops Firey and Gelatin to the ground to untie their legs and then gets both back on top of her. Team No-Name was about to make it to the summit of Yoyle Mountain, when Pencil freezes her and her team. Once they unfreeze, Puffball hurries to the top of the mountain. However, they actually have to go higher to get to the actual summit, but get delayed when Rocky dies repeatedly.
After recovering Rocky three times with Fries, Puffball gets the rest of her team and starts making her way to the summit of Yoyle Mountain. However, she has a flashback about the Firey Speaker Box saying that every time her team lost she won the prize. She stops just before making it, making Golf Ball ask what she's doing. While shrinking, Puffball explains that if her team loses she'll get the prize like she always does and that she loves prizes. She shrinks so much that all of her teammates fall off and land in the jaws of the Fish Monster.
In "Well Rested", Puffball is shown dancing in space during Cake at Stake, as she was hoping she would win the prize for the episode, only to learn it was Firey who won the prize. She gags and then attempts to stop Firey from spinning the prize wheel, but she was too late as he already spun and won a Meteor Shield. She ends up hitting the shield and is deflected back into space, where she continues spinning for the rest of Cake at Stake. Puffball is in the bottom two against Golf Ball and is eliminated with a record of 1,455 dislikes. She starts falling back towards earth and happens to land right into the Tiny Loser Chamber/Locker of Losers.
In "Catch These Hands", Needle imitated Puffball as a trickster.
In "Well, Look Who It Is!", Puffball is shown in the LOL, lounging with the other eliminated BFDIA contestants on one side of the line, while the rest are crammed tightly on the other. When dinner arrives, Puffball calls the bread delicious as Donut feeds it to her. He asks her if she heard anything from the peanut gallery, and Puffball responds with a no.
Later, they notice Coiny attempting to retrieve a glitching Pin from a hole, prompting them all to agree to leave immediately. As the LOL flies in the sky, Dora complains about still being hungry and decides to order takeout. As she and Match request their own respective islands, Puffball asks for an island with rainbows, sparkles, and puffy clouds. Just as she finishes her request, Donut interrupts, telling them to stop annoying the delivery person with strange requests, before ordering an island with lots of blood. As the credits roll, a silhouette of the LOL is shown flying against the backdrop of a setting sun, followed by a truck carrying the islands they ordered.
In "PointyPointyPointy ♫," Fries and Bomby are the first to reach Puffball's island, where they receive a warm welcome from Puffball, who instructs them to choose a bedtime story. Bomby enthusiastically expresses his love for bedtime stories but quickly notices that the island's atmosphere has altered their voices. Fries disables this effect using the "Puffball Voice Effect" before accusing Puffball of being a backstabber. Unfazed, Puffball dismisses his claims before proceeding to explain the challenge: for the final contest, pairs must sing a song that Puffball likes to raise the platform they're on, allowing them to reach the bunk beds and win immunity.
Bomby attempts a lullaby, but Puffball dislikes it, so it's rejected. Fries then sings about the time when Puffball betrayed Team No-Name, which is also rejected. At that moment, Pin and Coiny arrive. Pin criticizes Fries's song before performing her own, which Puffball rejects before calling it atrocious. Tennis Ball and Nickel then arrive, with Nickel taking the stage to sing. Tennis Ball tries to join in, but Nickel slaps him for going off-topic. However, Puffball notes that their lullaby has put everyone else to sleep, so she allows them to advance. The platform they are on rises to the bunk beds, and they are declared the first safe.
Fries tries to sing the same song from earlier, but this time, Bomby replaces all the negative words with positive ones to avoid rejection. Puffball listens to the revised version and comments that their song has improved significantly, allowing their platform to rise to the bunk bed. Bomby and Fries high-five before Puffball quickly instructs them to go to bed. They comply, and are announced as the second pair to be safe.
With Fries and Bomby safe, the only duos left are Coiny and Pin, as well as the FreeSmart teams. Coiny starts to sing, but Pin, eager to contribute, interrupts and performs her previous song. In the background, a hand holding a microphone is seen trying to capture Pin's voice, though this goes unnoticed. Meanwhile, Puffball rejects their song, commenting that they haven't learned anything. Coiny tries to sing again, but the platform abruptly ejects them, with Puffball reminding them that a team can't sing twice in a row if other teams are waiting to perform.
Pin is perplexed by this, as she believed the other teams hadn't arrived yet. But just then, Ruby, Book, Pencil, Needle and Bubble appear. Pencil steps onto the stage, and Puffball eagerly awaits their performance, but Pencil is unsure of what to sing. She turns to Needle for assistance, who then sings a heartfelt lullaby that moves Puffball to tears. Impressed, Puffball allows them to advance, and the platform that Needle and Pencil are standing on rise to the bunk beds, enabling them to get into bed and secure their immunity.
Pin and Coiny, along with Book and Ruby, are now the only teams left to secure safety. Pin attempts to sing again, but Book reminds her that she can't perform until Book and Ruby have had their turn. Puffball tells them to sing when they're ready, shifting the focus to Book and Ruby. They deliberate over what song to perform but take too long, prompting Puffball to urge them to hurry up.
In a last-minute decision, Ruby pulls out a microphone and presses a button, and Pin’s song from earlier plays. However, Puffball recognizes the song and becomes suspicious. Thinking quickly, Ruby presses another button, switching the setting to autotune, which Puffball likes. After the song finishes, Puffball praises the remix and allows them to advance.
However, just as Book, Ruby and Bubble are about to climb into bed, Pin loses her temper. Her frustration causes her mech suit to malfunction, resulting in an electric surge to shock all the previous islands. Bubble dies on impact, while Book and Ruby freefall back to the starting point. Pin, seizing the opportunity, sings a new song that impresses Puffball. The platform rises to the bunk beds, making Pin and Coiny the last duo to be declared safe, as Book and Ruby never made it to the bunk beds.
In "Spore Day", Puffball, along with the rest of the LOLers, host the Cake at Stake. There, Puffball turns to the safe contestants and tells them that since they all made it to the bunkbed last episode, they are all safe and get cake. Puffball then turns to Ruby and Book, telling them that a total of 151,540 were cast between them, before deciding to read comments written by fans.
In "Respect to the Wicked", Puffball does not get lines due to Balloony taping her mouth shut.
IDFB[]
In "Welcome Back", Ruby reveals that Puffball was eliminated in BFDIA 6 with 1,455 dislikes. She is also given a chance to join the game, along with the other characters in the TLC. Although the season is currently on hiatus, she ended up getting 1,661 votes, placing 3rd.
Battle for BFDI[]
"WHAAAAAAA-"
In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Puffball is first seen helping Gelatin building and finishing off his very large stack of forks. She later joins Free Food alongside Fries. In the challenge, Bell wonders how they'll get the basket without Foldy since no one else could get up there. Puffball looks at Bell angrily and Marker tells her to turn around, making Bell scream. Puffball pushes X's basket towards him, spilling out the air but still winning immunity for her team.
In "Lick Your Way to Freedom", Puffball is only seen yelling angrily at Four to recover their dead teammates.
In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", Puffball initially agrees to play Toss the Dirt with Marker but is quickly persuaded by Fries to spin the swing around the center, again allowing Free Food to win safety and avoid elimination.
In "Today's Very Special Episode", Puffball is a part of Free Food's year's hottest look.
In "Fortunate Ben", Puffball's flying abilities are disabled by Four with duct tape, at Fries request since Four would've obliterated her, due to flying being restricted in the paper airplane challenge.
In "Four Goes Too Far", Puffball, still covered in bandages, is only seen in the heart scene and when Free Food avoids looking at Pen.
In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", Puffball's bandaged body rolls away from the Cake at Stake area when Donut tells everyone to clear the area.
Puffball pushing the fake iance buzzer box, as it pushes the real one.
In "Questions Answered", Stapy took off Puffball's bandages when he used them to make a fake iance buzzer box. Then Puffball pushes the fake iance buzzer box to iance and takes away the real one. This makes it so Donut doesn't acknowledge Bubble for her answer, while Stapy gets to learn the correct one from her. The plan backfired, because Match caught Stapy and her cheating using Camera, and presented the evidence to Donut, who subsequently declared Free Food was up for elimination.
In "This Episode Is About Basketball", when X gets "promoted" to host, Puffball, along with the other alive members of Free Food affirm with his regular cake choice. Puffball is in the bottom two, although X is reading the votes backward so the amount of votes she got is revealed second. When Stapy realizes he's eliminated, he asks her to make sure that Foldy and Bell (who were dead) get their cakes before leaving. Puffball falls back on this, however, as she eats their cakes. Nickel tells her to leave some for him, which is followed by her vomiting what was left of the cakes.
In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", Puffball complies with the rules of not helping since she can fly.
In "What Do You Think of Roleplay?", Puffball was one of the contestants that was randomly selected to have their minds swapped. In her case, her mind entered Basketball's body, and her body was given to Rocky. On Free Food's side, Yellow Face figured out Puffball was the fake when she puked on him. As Basketball, she is asked by Golf Ball on who the team leader is. Puffball guesses that it's definitely Golf Ball, which makes Golf Ball drop all suspicion of her. Golf Ball then permits her to interview half the other guys. Puffball almost gives herself away by singing "Okay dokay", but Golf Ball just compliments her on her singing. She was only discovered after she criticized Grassy for being "basic", despite supposedly being friends with him.
In "Return of the Rocket Ship", Puffball holds the 10,000 vote banner alongside Lightning.
In "Don't Dig Straight Down", Puffball is first seen asking Four whether Free Food is safe when they give him toy emeralds and then celebrates with her team when he confirms that they are. Later, she is one of the only contestants to be explicitly confirmed to survive the lava flood. She heads to space and asks Four why, if the emeralds were either barely underground or in Four's eye, X is hurtling towards the planet's core.
In "The Four is Lava", Puffball hears Four announce the contest from space, racing alongside Spongy in his jet back to Earth. She reaches Earth and is provoked by Spongy's cannonballs, ordering him to stop. Spongy refuses and continues to shoot, but Puffball similarly avoids the cannonballs as Leafy in "Lofty" and "Get Digging". Puffball finds Bell and Foldy over the lava, both shocked by a lava splash by one of Spongy's cannonballs. Puffball proceeds to counter the attacks by using Bell to catch a cannonball and swings it back to Spongy, damaging his ship. Later, Blocky launches from a tree and grabs hold of Puffball, causing her to swing around aggressively to shake him off. At one point, Foldy kicks Blocky off, only to be pushed off by him a few seconds later. Puffball finally flings Blocky off of her by flying at a high speed and stopping suddenly. She then catches Foldy from falling into the lava, then the team heads to Four and finishes the contest, placing them 3rd.
In "The Escape from Four", Puffball is first seen flying towards Four to watch them struggle at sucking up Spongy. Puffball later quits BFB when the prize changes from A BFDI to A BFB, and switches over to TPOT.
Battle for BFB[]
In "A Taste of Space", part of Puffball can be seen on a picture of Gelatin.
Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two[]
Puffball in The Power of Two.
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", Puffball learns that Four brought back the original BFDI as a prize, but agrees that switching back isn't worth it since Four is too untrustworthy. In a small background moment, Puffball can be seen getting smacked in the face when Two opens the door to the elevator. When picking teams, Puffball angrily calls out Basketball because she started her first team over the fact that they're balls and left her out. She then insists that she's joining her team, whether they like it or not. During the challenge, Golf Ball tells everyone to get on to Puffball, but she isn't big enough to carry everyone. They then decide to go with using Tennis Ball's trebuchet. Puffball flings her teammates using it, but they fly over their target and into a tree, which flings them back into the trebuchet, and repeat. To stop this, Puffball grabs Fries with her mouth and uses him to catch her teammates and drops them onto the roof of the building. Her team is the first one safe.
In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Puffball is first seen attempting to pick up a block before spotting Fanny and Marker trying to steal and scaring them off with a glare. She overhears Golf Ball talking about circles and says that she likes cubes, which annoys Golf Ball since cubes are not two-dimensional. Later, she suggests gluing the blocks together to Golf Ball, but TV tells her that would be cheating. Her team places 6th for the challenge and she is safe.
In "Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters", Puffball is first seen near the Recovery Center, having been recovered by Two offscreen. During the challenge, she follows her teammates down to Golf Ball's Underground Factory. Golf Ball introduces her new invention, the Brain Wave. A device that scans images in one's mind and makes it into a reality. She places it on Puffball's head and draws a simple picture of a rollercoaster for Puffball to look at. Golf Ball warns Puffball not to think of any bad things as it could ruin their rollercoaster. Her teammates start to compliment and praise TV for his tutorial that helped them make above average chairs instead of mediocre ones. This annoys Puffball, as she feels she isn't getting any credit for designing a mundane rollercoaster. This inspires her to make the rollercoaster more chaotic, hoping that it will make the others appreciate her more. However, Puffball is instead met with frustration from her teammates, particularly Golf Ball, who says that she's ruined their rollercoaster. Puffball's design is given a 5/10 by Two due to how dangerous it was to ride.
In "Gardening Zero", Puffball is left behind by her team (as demanded by Golf Ball) for ruining the rollercoaster in the previous challenge. Lightning, who was sent home by Death P.A.C.T. Again, consoles her, believing their teams to be biased against flying contestants, and they later side with Ice Cube when her team also leaves her behind. Puffball still wants to help her team, and steals Lightning's bracelet to sabotage Death P.A.C.T. Again's plan; she flies over the walls they have built around the Funny Plant. She attempts to eat it, but Remote reminds her that her team will lose if she kills any funny plant. To get around this, Puffball returns home, gets Ice Cube, and puts Ice Cube in the ground so the funny plant will absorb water from her and slowly kill her. Puffball then leaves, with her sabotage being a success.
In "Fishes and Dishes", Golf Ball once again orders Puffball to stay behind in the challenge; Fries comes to her defense and decides to help her sabotage other teams attempting to get the plates. They begin by convincing The S! to dig underground, before seeing Just Not using objects to climb into the sky. Fries commands Puffball to start biting at Just Not, and she grabs Nickel in her mouth. Fries alerts her when Bomby is ignited by Pillow, and she moves out of the way while dropping Nickel, launching him away. Puffball continues to chase after Just Not, and observes Pillow after she knocks Fries off of her. Her team is up for elimination.
In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", Puffball is first seen surprised at the appearance of Four and X with their new restaurant. Later at the Cake at Stake ceremony, Puffball is the 4th contestant safe with 5,140 votes. She receives a plan to "Just go nuts" along with TV and Eraser. Eraser and Puffball hold onto TV (who was going to ram into Four on his wheels), leaving Puffball dazed. During the challenge, TV tells the team that they can use a Dream Berry, the tastiest variant of the Yoyleberry. The locator points out the nearest Dream Berry to be lodged in a crack at the entrance of Golf Ball's Underground Factory. After dealing with the many bugs that suddenly appeared out of the crack, Pen uses Golf Ball's "Shrink-O-Tron" on the entire team, much to Golf Ball's dismay as there would be no way to reverse it. Puffball was still able to change her size, and Golf Ball indirectly insults her, by saying she was "finally useful". This leads to Puffball leaving the team to fend for themselves, and Golf Ball stunned. After the challenge nearly ends, declaring dinner time for Two. Are You Okay was kicked out of Tree's head, and they were reverted to normal size by Two. Golf Ball then hesitantly apologizes to Puffball, and she happily accepts her apology. Their team gives Two the Dream Berry, awarding them an 8/10 and making them safe from elimination. In the stinger, Puffball is zapped away by X when trying to steal food.
In "The Seven Wonders of Goiky", Puffball and Golf Ball are told by the rest of the team to sit out of the challenge. So instead, the two decide to work together to sabotage the other teams. First, they arrive to the Balance Beam to mess with Team8s, but they were already struggling enough so they leave to find Just Not. They end up coming back to exact same location, as Just Not happened to be approaching Team8s. Golf Ball realizes that Just Not is exchanging items for ones of higher value. Puffball suggests that they make the part they need, sabotage it and then trade it to Just Not. Golf Ball likes the idea so they head to her underground factory. Using the brain wave, Puffball makes a rollercoaster piece and a detonator. They then meet with Just Not at the volcano and trade them the rollercoaster piece in exchange for the the dream island gates. The rest of Are You Okay then arrives with glue. Puffball bites the gate into pieces so that they can be glued to the volcano, this makes Are You Okay safe. Back to Just Not, Bomby installs the rollercoaster piece and Puffball and Golf Ball arrive to blow it up, further damaging the rollercoaster, successfully resulting in Just Not being up for elimination.
Puffball and Golf Ball's reaction to their team losing
In "Balancing P.A.C.T.", Puffball and Black Hole are disqualified from the balance beam challenge since they can fly. Golf Ball decides to ditch the balance beam in order to continue sabotaging the other teams with Puffball. They fly towards Tree, who is huge now, and decide to start killing him in order to get Death P.A.C.T. Again to give up the balance beam challenge. This ends up working as Marker jumps off the beam to save Tree. Puffball isn't seen again until Are You Okay loses. Puffball takes her anger out on Teardrop since she caused them to lose and tries to knock her off, but she ends up accidentally bumping into Grassy.
In "Outbreak At Stake", Puffball, her team, and Team8s take refuge in the hotel in order to avoid being contaminated by Pen or Barf Bag. Are You Okay has their Cake at Stake done first, and Puffball and Golf Ball end up in the bottom two. Before the result is revealed, they both take solace in knowing that they at least reached some common ground before it was too late. Puffball talks about how she only wanted to be noticed by her team, but before she can finish, a zombified Pen jumps through the window and bites her. She's then kicked out of the window by Eraser since she's now infected. Puffball, who is now a zombie, later breaks back into the hotel and chases after Team8s, along with Coiny, Shopping Cart, and Clapboard. As Pin, Needle, and Donut, run down the basement stairs, Puffball knocks them over, and they all fall into the sewer water below. Puffball and the other zombies continue their chase underwater until they collide into some rocks, with Puffball seemingly incapacitated.
In "I SAID CAREFUL!!!" Puffball can be seen with Fries riding her, trying to escape Two's elimination prison, repeatedly throwing herself into a transparent grid force field, to little success, with Fries cheering her on.
In "Bottle For Dream Island", Puffball can be seen attempting to escape the elimination space, along with all the other eliminated contestants.

General[]
- Every time someone says that no one can get somewhere without flying, and Puffball happens to be on their team, someone tells them to look behind them, and Puffball is mostly angry when this happens.
- Puffball was first recommended by SuperMightyMichael.

- Puffball hates being called "Puffy", similar to how Needle hates being called "Needy".
- Puffball's favorite screen is Abraham Lincoln's head.
- Puffball had a new design in the beginning half of BFDIA 1, which has a darker outline than her design in the rest of BFDIA.
- Puffball, Robot Flower and the Puffball Speaker Box are the only characters that have an autotuned voice.
- In the intro for BFB, Puffball is the character furthest to the right of the screen.
- Puffball's ability to fly can be disabled by wrapping her in bandages, which was done by Four in the paper airplane flying contest.
- For the first time since "The Long-lost Yoyle City", Puffball was shown shifting her size in "Gardening Zero" by shrinking in order to fit in Lightning's bracelet.

- "I SAID CAREFUL!!!" reveals that Puffball was eventually sent to the TPOT elimination area.
