Recommended Characters

“	Hey! what about us? we want limitless power too!	”
	— Recommended characters, "The Escape from Four"

Recommended characters are fan characters "recommended" by fans of the series. Before their official debut, Bomby made a cameo appearance in "Insectophobe's Nightmare". Recommended characters officially debuted in "Lofty". All but one of the recommended characters in BFDI last made an appearance in the last episode of BFDI.

In "Reveal Novum", only one character per one recommender was allowed due to "budget cuts", which was the in-story reason. The real reason is unknown. This restriction was removed in BFDIA.

In Battle for Dream Island Again, the characters were recommended using Google Moderator, and 25 recommended characters with the highest score were picked to be displayed in the episode.

Though IDFB didn't have recommended characters, there was a subreddit for recommending characters to show up in IDFB 2 called "r/bfdi_recommended", made by Cary Huang. However, the episode did not come out, many recommended characters ended up being used in Lick Your Way to Freedom.

In Battle for BFB and later seasons, character recommendations can be done on the community section of jacknjellify's Patreon, or by becoming a member on Jacknjellify's YouTube channel.

Before Battle for BFB ended, it was announced that recommended characters would be discontinued for the foreseeable future,^[1] and the remaining recommended characters are being used throughout BFB 30, TPOT 2, and later episodes. Several past patrons had complained about their recommended character appearances. As such, refunds for these RCs were announced.^[2]

On October 24, 2023, it was announced that recommended characters would be brought back for BFDIA, this time for free via a Google form. Due to the form's specification, only one character per recommender is allowed.

Who was the first recommended character to make a cameo appearance in the series? toggle section

What was the in-story reason for allowing only one character per recommender in 'Reveal Novum'? toggle section

The Battle for Dream Island episode 'Reveal Novum' introduced a rule limiting each recommender to one recommended character. This was a departure from the earlier unrestricted character creation. The reason was to facilitate a special voting period, where 30 selected recommended characters were put up for a vote, with the most popular character joining the competition.
