Personality[]

Tennis Ball is known to be intelligent and ideal for solving problems and creating new innovations, such as grotatoes. Unfortunately, he is somewhat clumsy because of his size and the fact that he's armless. He is also cautious, and prefers to think first before making most decisions.

He is a nice character overall, and is generally more polite and less controlling than Golf Ball. He appears to like being close to Golf Ball because there is a "platonic" relationship going on between the two as stated by Golf Ball herself in "Take the Plunge: Part 2". He is a very calm character but can be rude to people if pushed, and has his moments of being assertive and raising his usually monotone and nasally voice when losing patience.

In "Catch These Hands", Tennis Ball shows an insecure side when Gelatin says that he cannot make good inventions. When he gets a chance to speak to Gelatin, he lashes out, because he believes he is always seen as inferior to Golf Ball because his inventions never work. This is in stark contrast to his typical calm and quiet personality, showing that he is insecure about how people feel about him and his inventions compared to someone like Golf Ball.

He is aware of his relationship with the viewers and can be manipulative of that fact, such as in "Get to the Top in 500 Steps" when he tells Flower people will vote for her if she pushes him off of the stairs.

Official Character Guide biography[]

Tennis Ball is curious, which is why he's always asking questions. He is especially amused by trivia, especially information that pertains to math. He doesn't shy from speaking up if he knows the facts. His other hobbies include cooking rice cakes and enjoying rhymes.

He always hangs out with Golf Ball, but he lets her take the lead. Tennis Ball doesn't get along with the Announcer, who seems to bully him for being clumsy.

Did You Know?: Despite everyone calling him clumsy, Tennis Ball is exceptionally talented at tightrope walking, especially when bandaged to others.

Abilities[]

  • High intelligence: Alongside Golf Ball, Tennis Ball is one of the most intelligent contestants, but unlike her, his intelligence is more based on logic and reason instead of pure mathematics. He frequently assists Golf Ball in formulating plans and strategies. In addition, he seems to have a knack for inventing devices. He invented Grotatoes for Fries, built a trebuchet to assist his team in "Getting Teardrop to Talk" and "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", and was familiar with the Wall Teleporter.
  • Bounciness: Due to his physical structure as a sentient tennis ball, Tennis Ball is quite bouncy, a trait which he uses for quick transportation in "Welcome Back" and helps him survive a fall after being pushed off a flight of stairs in "Get to the Top in 500 Steps" and falling of another flight of stairs in "Lofty".
  • Self-resurrection: In "Well Rested", although he died eating the electric yoyleberries, he later came back to life say something, then died again.
  • Lip-reading Although more of a skill, in "Catch These Hands", he is shown to be able to read other people's lips, like Book.

Coverage[]

Appearances[]

Battle for Dream Island[]

In "Take the Plunge: Part 1", Tennis Ball tells Teardrop to calm down after she kicks Woody, because doing so could result in severely injuring him since he is balsa. After Snowball throws Rocky, he falls and hits Tennis Ball, calling him his "good ol' friend". During the balancing contest, Tennis Ball stops himself from falling off the end of the beam. Tennis Ball is one of the first to fall off after Flower pushes him and several others, claiming she needs her space.

In "Take the Plunge: Part 2", Tennis Ball is picked by Leafy to be on the Squashy Grapes, since she states that Tennis Ball is smart. He then is one of the three people along with Needle and Leafy to pick Golf Ball on their team. After that, he then states how Flower won't be as much of a threat if she is on their side, which results in her getting chosen for their team. When Golf Ball agrees with Tennis Ball about Flower, Coiny teases her about having a crush on him, but Golf Ball states she only likes Tennis Ball in a platonic way.

During the challenge, Tennis Ball helps Teardrop and Ice Cube carry a piece of the boat that they're building. As the boat sails away with Leafy, Ice Cube, and Coiny, he attempts to get into the boat, however, it is too far away. He begins to swim towards the boat, and reaches it, however, Coiny starts the motor, which pushes Tennis Ball away from the boat, and he is left behind. Despite this, he, along with the rest of his team, float through the canal on top of Spongy after he is thrown overboard from the Squishy Cherries boat.

In "Barriers and Pitfalls", Tennis Ball, Match, Golf Ball, Teardrop, Needle, Spongy, Rocky, Firey, Woody, and Flower are scooped up in a net and returned after being left drifting in the canal after the previous episode. At Cake at Stake, Tennis Ball only receives one vote and is safe.

During the obstacle course, Tennis Ball kicks Rocky into the air to prevent a collision with Woody and then kicks Golf Ball over the barrier. Since he doesn't have arms, Tennis Ball can't cross the barrier by climbing it. When the Squishy Cherries arrive after looking for Blocky, Tennis Ball orders them to throw him over the barrier. Match, Pencil, and Bubble attempt to throw him over, but he hits the top of it, breaking it off, and making Pin (who was stuck on top) fall. While stuck at the bottom of the rock wall with Golf Ball, he spots a platform off to the right of the wall, where they can walk across. After getting past the wall, they try to jump over the pit, but hit Bubble, and fall down into the "Failers' Waiting Room".

In "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?", Tennis Ball tells Rocky that he has to learn how to write, explaining that he and Golf Ball know how, stating that "no arms is no excuse". In turn, Rocky kicks him, which sends him rolling, unable to stop. He rolls down a hill into flames, which send him flying. He lands in a Woody-shaped hole, which contains Woody, Coiny, and Eraser as well, but he is too big to fit, so Pin attempts to shove him down inside the hole. In the stinger, he complains that he has to go to the bathroom, but he is stuck in the hole still.

Ricecaketennisball

"Look, GB, I finished! It's a rice cake!"

In "Sweet Tooth", Tennis Ball finishes making his rice cake extremely fast and shows it to Golf Ball. When Coiny argues with Announcer that his dirt cake is better than the ice cake that was served at Cake at Stake, Tennis Ball notices that "ice cake" rhymes with "rice cake". Tennis Ball places 10th overall for his rice cake, with 15 points.

In "Bridge Crossing", he tells Snowball that throwing Golf Ball into the ravine was uncalled for, and in return, Snowball threatens to do the same to him. TB tells Snowball to calm down, but Snowball snaps and attempts to throw him into the ravine. Instead of falling in, he hits the posts keeping the bridge held up. Snowball notices that the "dumb sticks" are in the way, so he takes them out and throws Tennis Ball down, causing the bridge to break.

In the stinger, Match notices that Golf Ball fell, but isn't floating with the rest of them. Pen explains that Golf Balls sink, and Tennis Ball adds that rocks sink too, implying Rocky sunk as well.

In "Power of Three", Leafy and Teardrop are placed on Tennis Ball's team for the challenge. They are the first team to cross the beam and get to the first island. In the first safe they open, they find a teddy bear. The fourth safe they open contains a raft, but Tennis Ball is upset that they fell to 3rd. When they reach the final island, they find out the first key they grabbed on the previous island was a fake, so they have to turn around, much to Tennis Ball's dismay. The next key they take works, and their team places second.

In "Puzzling Mysteries", Tennis Ball tells his team that completing the jigsaw puzzle should be easy, and Golf Ball agrees, explaining that there are only 9 pieces. His team finishes first and chooses Firey to be on their team as a reward for finishing first.

Cycle of Life 132

In "Cycle of Life", Rocky vomits on the wheel that decides which Squashy Grapes participate in the challenge, and it covered who was chosen, so Tennis Ball questions who was on that slice. Tennis Ball's slice on the wheel isn't landed on, so he doesn't participate in the relay race.

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare", Tennis Ball can be seen waiting impatiently with the Squashy Grapes. During the team choosing, Tennis Ball reminds Announcer that Rocky forgot how to talk in "Sweet Tooth". When the Announcer asks how he communicates, Rocky vomits on Tennis Ball, choosing him for his team. He then picks Golf Ball since he states they are a "duo". Afterward, he picks Coiny to be on his team. Firey is then forced to be on their team as he is the last contestant with no team much to the dismay of Coiny. Firey suggests the team to be "Squashy Grapes", but Golf Ball disagrees since Leafy's team is already the "Squashy Grapes" and tells him that the team name has to be "another name". The Announcer names the team Another Name as a result, Golf Ball tells him to wait but then Announcer wants to go through our current teams.

During the contest, Golf Ball asks him if he thinks races like this are great. He replies that he does, but yells at his teammates (specifically Coiny and Firey), that if they could walk in synchrony, it would be even better. With Tennis Ball leading the group, they sneak past the Squishy Cherries. TB whispers to his team that if they're quiet, the Squishy Cherries won't notice they're ahead. Firey yells in response to this since he hadn't known that they were ahead. Seconds later, Tennis Ball gasps as they approach a tightrope, and Firey tells them he has a fear of heights. On the tightrope, Firey screeches, much to Tennis Ball's chagrin. His screeching alerts the Squishy Cherries to Another Name's presence, which causes them to run the rest of the way to the finish. Tennis Ball spots the finish just up ahead, but Rocky vomits and causes the entire team to slip and lose the lead to the Cherries. Since they place ahead of the Squashy Grapes, but behind the Squishy Cherries, nothing happens to them.

In "Crybaby!", Golf Ball tells Tennis Ball to try to cry, but he ultimately fails. Golf Ball then tries and manages to cry one tear, which results in TB and GB giving each other a low-five.

During the tie-breaker skiing contest, Tennis Ball sits on the skis, and his entire team rides on top of him. He appears scared, expressing a frightened "Oh my gosh..." before they go over the edge of the mountain. When Golf Ball checks in on how he's doing, he tells her it's wobbly. Golf Ball then points out Rocky is missing, but Coiny spots him in their path. They collide with him, sending them into the air and rolling them into a snowball. The Squishy Cherries share the same fate and roll into another snowball after them.

In the second tie-breaker handstand contest, Tennis Ball falls immediately, due to his lack of arms. The rest of his team falls right afterward, before anyone from the other teams have fallen, and they lose.

In "Lofty", Tennis Ball and Golf Ball are discussing what a certain cloud looks like. Tennis Ball thinks the cloud looks like a Tennis Ball, while Golf Ball determines that it looks like a Golf Ball. Arguing ensues after the initial disagreement between them.

At Cake at Stake, Tennis Ball is safe with only 2 votes out of the total 37, the least amount. Since Golf Ball and Rocky had the two highest amounts of votes, Tennis Ball complains that he's left with "the slappers", referring to Coiny and Firey.

Announcer orders the contestants to all climb a set of extremely high stairs, and once Tennis Ball gets to the top, he slips and falls off, leaving a hole in a cloud as he falls. When he hits the ground, he bounces back up to where the contest is taking place, and Coiny, the only remaining teammate in the challenge, greets him as he falls back down. Once Firey falls down, Tennis Ball notices that it's all up to Coiny to win the challenge. The explosion caused by Firey lighting Bomby's fuse then blows up Another Name.

In "A Leg Up in the Race", Tennis Ball intervenes in Coiny and Firey's argument, which causes Firey to comment the fact that Tennis Ball doesn't have arms. Coiny retaliates by telling Firey that Tennis Ball knows more than him.

Once again up for elimination, Tennis Ball receives 22 votes, which results in him being in the bottom two along with Coiny. Tennis Ball tells the Squashy Grapes that if Coiny stays, all he will do is slap Firey, and the team seems to agree with that. Leafy decides that they want Tennis Ball on their team, however, the teams are broken up anyways.

The contest is a ladder-climbing contest, and since TB doesn't have arms, he can't climb the ladder. Rocky is the only other remaining contestant without arms beside Ice Cube, who rode Leafy to the top, but he uses his vomit to propel him up to the platform, placing Tennis Ball in last.

To start out, Tennis Ball receives 30 bonus points, but no more, since he got 0 points in the contest. Tennis Ball has received 25 votes in the past, so 25 points are subtracted off of his current 30, leaving him at 5 points.

In the stinger, Tennis Ball suggests to Firey that he shouldn't go around setting people he doesn't know on fire, referring to the recommended characters shown directly afterward.

In "Don't Lose Your Marbles", Tennis Ball didn't like the remodeled Cake at Stake place before Announcer wants them to like it, so Tennis Ball likes it before he is safe, after being in the bottom two with Snowball. Afterward, Firey makes Tennis Ball angry by slapping him, feeling an emptiness with Coiny gone. Tennis Ball kicks him in return.

Firey slaps Tennis Ball several more times during the contest, which causes Tennis Ball to leave and work by himself. Tennis Ball places second, turning in a red ball that Rocky threw up, and receives 20 points, however, he is still in the danger zone.

In "Half a Loaf is Better Than None", Tennis Ball is up for elimination once again. At the beginning of Cake at Stake, Tennis Ball announces that he is scared, however, he only receives 34 votes and is safe.

Tennis Ball cheers on Golf Ball during the rejoin contest, despite her only getting one loaf before drowning, and Spongy ends up rejoining.

When Announcer tells the contestants that whoever can retrieve his marble collection from a vat of hydrochloric acid will receive 15 bonus points, Tennis Ball pulls out his magnet and the marbles come to him, earning him the bonus points. He also receives 10 sympathy points for not having arms. In the hurdle contest, Tennis Ball places fourth and gets 20 points, placing him in fourth overall as well.

In "Vomitaco", Tennis Ball chooses to compete in the taco contest. He chooses to make a taco containing lettuce and tomato and finishes first. 5/10 people in the TLC enjoy Tennis Ball's taco, resulting in him receiving 50 points. He tells the announcer that he was expecting more, considering they have only been fed bread for the past 13 months.

In "Bowling, Now with Explosions!", Tennis Ball is thrown an explosive blueberry pie since he wasn't up for elimination. Since the contest is bowling, armless people are disqualified because they cannot bowl, and Tennis Ball whines about this.

In "The Reveal", Announcer announces that the cake this time is knives and that he will throw you a knife if you are safe. Tennis Ball is unsure if he wants to be safe because of this. Tennis Ball receives 45 votes, enough to put him in the bottom two and he screams when the Announcer threw him a knife, but Blocky is eliminated with 112 votes.

In the contest, Tennis Ball is saddened by having to pair up but sighs and gives in, pairing with Firey. His first throw isn't strong enough and doesn't reach Firey, but the second throw does, and Firey catches the frisbee with his tongue. However, Firey's saliva is too sticky, and the frisbee gets stuck to Tennis Ball's foot. The frisbee will not come off no matter what, so Firey grabs another frisbee, and the pair use that to complete the challenge. When revealing the reward they got for finishing 3rd, TB claims it isn't much, but that he'll take it. He still ends up in the danger zone, putting him up for elimination.

In "Reveal Novum", Tennis Ball once again states he is scared, but Leafy reassures him there's nothing to be afraid of. Bubble votes for him because Ice Cube is in her alliance and Leafy gave her a gift. Pencil uses the same reasoning, and Tennis Ball questions Leafy's bribes. Spongy and Rocky both vote for Leafy, and Firey votes for Ice Cube, so it is a tie vote between Tennis Ball and Leafy.

The tiebreaker challenge is to jump over a "bottomless" pit, and the first person to jump across is safe. Tennis Ball jumps first but fails to make it across, and as he is falling, he accidentally activates a contraption that launches Leafy across, eliminating him.

In "Gardening Hero", in his audition to rejoin, he is surprised when the Announcer calls him "Clumsy Tennis Ball" and threatens to demagnetize him with a magnet.

In "The Glistening", he votes Ice Cube to be eliminated. He doesn't rejoin due to only getting 41 votes. He starts demagnetizing the Announcer when he calls him "Clumsy Tennis Ball" again but is teleported back into the TLC.

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 2", Tennis Ball is seen in the elimination flashbacks. He also asks why there is a bush in the Tiny Loser Chamber after Flower deflects the Laser Powered Teleportation Device and sends a bush there. When the TLC is gone, they cheer but then they scream when the TLC is back.

In "Return of the Hang Glider", Tennis Ball wants Leafy to win and is one of the many contestants to have that opinion. When Firey wins Dream Island, Tennis Ball is let into the island without hesitation from Firey. Later, he tells Pen to "face it, [they] aren't getting Dream Island back" after it has been stolen.

Later on, Tennis Ball, along with Match, Snowball, and Woody, is abducted by a UFO. Tennis Ball feels like he is the only one concerned that they are in an Unidentified Flying Object, but Match tells him that it isn't unidentified, it's an Announcer Transportation Device. When Match flips a switch, the ship turns off and starts falling, and attempting to switch it back on doesn't work. After it crashes, Match, Snowball, and Tennis Ball emerge after it lands on Flower, killing her. Tennis Ball then explains to Snowball that Woody died because of his fear of the color gray caused a heart attack. He seems happy afterward when he finds out that Rocky cannot vomit anymore.

This page was last edited on March 13, 2024, at 23:42:23.

In "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", Tennis Ball is among the group of contestants chasing Leafy into the forest. When they reach the forest and lose Leafy, Tennis Ball questions if they are taking this too far. In response to this, Golf Ball yells at him and asks if he wants Dream Island. He responds that he does, but tells her that they don't actually have to capture Leafy. Golf Ball tells him that they do, and he asks her why. She answers that if they let Leafy escape, she'll steal Dream Island.

As shown on TV's screen, Tennis Ball has received 359 votes to join the second season, and placed 13th highest overall, allowing him to join. Tennis Ball suggests that one team should consist of the original contestants from BFDI, and the other should have the "newbies". He ends up being placed on Team No-Name. When everyone is showing their favorite screen-shape, he shows that he prefers a screen shaped like flower petals.

In "Get Digging", he informs the team that they need a bowl to make the Yoyleberry stew, and that a bigger bowl would be better. When Fries asks him what his job is, he hesitates and tells him that he is a co-manager to Golf Ball.

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3", Tennis Ball receives the least amount of votes, at 55 dislikes. During the contest, Golf Ball gets poisoned by a bug and turns green, to which Tennis Ball claims she looks like a miniature version of him. Later on, Match tells Tennis Ball that he's a good guy, and orders him to build a Recovery Center for the poisoned contestants. Tennis Ball tells her that he can't just build one, and then it cuts to the voting screen.

Frozen 2

In "Zeeky Boogy Doog", Book, Gelatin, and Firey are all on top of the Eiffel Tower with Tennis Ball. Book asks them what they are battling for again, to which Tennis Ball responds with shock, asking if she actually doesn't know. Firey says he always thought that she was well-read (she is a book), so she freezes him with freeze serum. Book asks Tennis Ball again what they are battling for, and he tells her they're battling for Dream Island. Book says that sounds like a disease, but Tennis Ball elaborates that it isn't. He quotes the "gray faceless robot", or Announcer, and tells her that it's "a whole square mile of paradise, blah blah blah blah, and the winner even gets to decide who gets to come on and who doesn't." After he tells her, Book claims that she feels well-informed, but Tennis Ball jokes that she means "well-read", and she freezes him.

When Puffball Speaker Box tells Pin to get them down from the Eiffel Tower, she shakes them off, and while Match and Pencil save Firey and Gelatin respectively, Tennis Ball falls to the ground and shatters, since he is frozen. Match claims that he deserved it since he has been lazy recently.

When Firey recovers Tennis Ball in the new Hand-Powered Recovery Center that Teardrop won as a prize, he immediately recovers Golf Ball. When Pencil reminds everyone that Leafy stole Dream Island, Tennis Ball exclaims that he forgot that no one knows where Dream Island is.

During the challenge, Golf Ball orders Tennis Ball to send Pencil to the incinerator for criticizing her, to which he says "fine". He drags her to the incinerator and throws her in, killing her. Later, Coiny throws Bomby into Golf Ball's underground factory where he explodes, killing Team No-Name and their Dream Island.

In "Get in the Van", Tennis Ball is recovered by Metal Leafy and Bubble. During Cake at Stake, Tennis Ball almost wins the prize but is beaten by Puffball. Rocky also almost wins, and Tennis Ball complains that he didn't because he could've gotten his barf back. Match was shocked that Tennis Ball actually wants Rocky's barf back, and Tennis Ball tells her he thinks it was cute. He receives the 2nd least amount of dislikes, at 121, beaten by only Gelatin.

W.O.A.H. Bunch has been taking their team members one by one (Nickel, Spongy), so Golf Ball tells Tennis Ball that this must stop. He agrees but asks her how to stop it. She tells him that if all of their team members promise to never switch, then they should be good. Tennis Ball says that it sounds like a good plan, and promises not to switch.

As they are riding Puffball to Yoyle Mountain, Gelatin complains that there isn't enough room, so he pushes Tennis Ball, Golf Ball, and Rocky off and into the forest, where Evil Leafy resides. They run away from Evil Leafy, but they reach a canyon. Tennis Ball proposes that they quickly build a trebuchet, however, he is cut off by FreeSmart crashing their van into the trio, causing them to all get eaten by Evil Leafy.

In "No More Snow!", Tennis Ball is never seen, but Book explains that FreeSmart left him and the others inside Evil Leafy.

In "It's a Monster", he is recovered after W.O.A.H. Bunch accidentally allows Puffball to recover her team. In the desert, snow coming from the FreeSmart Super Van hits Puffball. Golf Ball questions how there can be snow when the temperature is 42 degrees Celsius. Tennis Ball then points out that it's 107 degrees Fahrenheit, prompting Golf Ball to scold him and tell him never to use Fahrenheit.

In "The Long-lost Yoyle City", after Gelatin and Firey tie their legs together and fall, Tennis Ball suggests that Gelatin can hold onto Puffball until they land, then Puffball can lower Firey and Gelatin on to the ground. Fries then ask him how long it is until they land, but he doesn't know. When Firey asks why the Davids in Davidland aren't saying "Aw, seriously?", Tennis Ball explains that they only say it when provoked.

When his team reaches the top of Yoyle Mountain, Puffball remembers that if her team is up for voting, she'll win the prize, so she shrinks down to normal size and everyone falls off of her, costing Tennis Ball and his team the challenge.

In "Well Rested", He is recovered by Needle and is later transported to the Cake at Stake place. He receives the second most likes, with 938 votes. Tennis Ball kindly asks to reveal the dislikes, as he is nervous about getting eliminated. He is the first safe with 242 dislikes. Tennis Ball asks why the yoyleberries are "tingly". After learning the truth, he eats the yoyleberry, turns into metal, and then he gets electrocuted. He then somehow comes back to life to tell his annoyance for Golf Ball about saying that she's "the team leader". He then dies again and gets recovered by Firey and Gelatin.

For the challenge, the contestants must fine a building to sleep in. They come across a hotel with a broken sign that appears to read "Live Here Hotel". Tennis Ball gets nervous about going in an abandoned hotel, but he later goes in after being convinced by Fries. After looking through all of the rooms, Golf Ball notices a mirror at the end of the hallway. Tennis Ball tells his team that they should look at it very closely, which seems to summon Evil Leafy. After Evil Leafy gets summoned, Tennis Ball, along with the rest of Team No-Name, run away from her. After running into the "iffy" room, Tennis Ball informs Firey that Evil Leafy is on the other side of the glass so she can't catch them. Evil Leafy then phases through the glass, forcing Team No-Name to run. They head into the "decent" room next. Tennis Ball gets scared, but Golf Ball tells him that everything should be okay because the windows are boarded up. The planks fall off when water splatters over them, and Evil Leafy enters the room and chases Team No-Name. The next room is the fancy room, which has a motion activated door. Tennis Ball is fine with the No-Namers with arms doing the work to get it to open, Golf Ball agrees. Tennis Ball informs Firey that Evil Leafy moves instantaneously and not continuously, the door doesn't register it as motion. Gelatin's headphones throw spike balls and cause the door to open for Evil Leafy to come in, to Tennis Ball's annoyance. Team No-Name runs into the "bad" room, but the walls fall apart, and Evil Leafy is close to capturing Team No-Name. Since Coiny's chanting "Evil Leafy", Evil Leafy chases W.O.A.H Bunch instead, to Tennis Ball's confusion. Team No-Name walks into the fancy room and falls asleep, being the first ones safe.

Tbinsanity

In "Intruder Alert", we can see Tennis Ball in a new intro, he is shown turning back and saying hi. When TV being thrown to TLC, Tennis Ball cheers with the rest of Team No-Name team members. Before the challenge starts, he sees Ruby holding Yoylelite while FreeSmart was falling from the sky. Being obsessed to observe more about the mineral, Tennis Ball squeezes Gelatin's cheeks, telling him that Yoylelite is one of the rarest mineral in the universe and the scientists would pay trillion of dollars to just research it. Tennis Ball says that he is going to take the mineral with his own hands, later being corrected by Firey that they are his feet. Ruby shakes her head, mentions that she already swore to Match that the mineral is a gift for FreeSmart and FreeSmart only. This makes Tennis Ball cry, but then he realizes that he could just switch teams, although immediately being reminded that there's Golf Ball and he can't just leave her.

Later on, Tennis Ball decided to ask a risky favor to Firey as his close friend, to switch to FreeSmart Team just for this episode, but he has to come back again on the next episode. Firey thinks the new FreeSmart is scary, so he asks back to Tennis Ball if he can bring Gelatin along. Tennis Ball sweats while looking at Golf Ball, but he later allows Firey with a bit hesitation on his line. Team No-Name for this episode remains to 3 members: Golf Ball, Tennis Ball, Fries.

In "Meaty", when Fries asks who drove by, Tennis Ball says it was Lewis, noting that Lewis loves cars with mirrors. When Firey is eliminated, Tennis Ball is in Yoyleland with Golf Ball. When he hears Firey yell his name, he thinks that Firey must be having trouble getting the Yoylelite for them. He is told by Golf Ball to "trust the process”. He is next seen atop the Eiffel Tower when Pin is saying the colors for each team.

At the start of the challenge, Tennis Ball asks how they got to the Eiffel Tower, as they were just in Yoyleland. Fries says “car”, and Tennis Ball asks if he won the lottery too, but Fries only replies “who cares how I got it", and tells Tennis Ball to get in the car and pour the paint on the Eiffel Tower as he drives. Tennis Ball happily agrees. Later, Tennis Ball asks where Golf Ball is, and where Firey is with the Yoylelite. He gets told to keep pouring the paint, and that they are probably underground. When FreeSmart started shooting lasers at Fries and Tennis Ball, Fries asks him to build a shield to deflect the lasers being shot by Pencil. He says that he can't build it without the help of Golf Ball, though when he’s asked if he’d rather die, he builds a satellite dish to deflect the lasers. It fails, falling out of the car and onto the ground. Fries told him his invention sucked, and gave him a car mirror to deflect the lasers instead. Later, when Pencil filled the Zap Ray with paint, she hits Tennis Ball, making him pink. Fries asks him if he has any ideas on how to distract FreeSmart, he whispers an idea to Fries. When Fries says they won’t survive that, Tennis Ball says it's the only option. Fries agrees, and starts Tennis Ball’s plan, driving the car up the Eiffel Tower, knocking Ruby’s Yoylelite out of her hand. It ends in a car crash killing Tennis Ball, Fries, Ruby and Pencil.

In "Catch These Hands", Tennis Ball is recovered by Gelatin, and is delighted that the latter has rejoined Team No-Name. Gelatin then makes Tennis Ball be the first member of the team to participate in the challenge, with his first phrase being "having hands". He is nearly crushed, before Fries utters the word "hands". Afterwards, Tennis Ball asks Gelatin if he truly believes he is bad at inventing, having read his lips from the inside of the crusher; Tennis Ball also negatively compares himself to Golf Ball. Tennis Ball is later seen back in the crusher, running back and forth inside it, and Gelatin correctly guesses his phrase offscreen. The next phrase Tennis Ball receives is "acetylsalicylic acid"; knowing Gelatin does not know this word, he quickly builds a laser pointer and etches its structure on the Moon, which Golf Ball sees and says, saving his life. After Golf Ball is crushed, Tennis Ball is put back in the crusher, but is crushed when Gelatin finally admires his inventing prowess. He can be seen in Hell with the other crushed contestants after the credits.

In "Taste the Sweetness", Tennis Ball is recovered. Team No-Name was up for elimination, and Tennis Ball received a record of 40,984 likes, allowing him to spin the prize wheel. He receives a Swap Token, and is also the first contestant safe, at 5,268 dislikes. When Gelatin is eliminated, he gifts him his laser pointer in exchange for his Revolutionary Headphones, grateful for his compliment last episode. Before the challenge begins, Tennis Ball decides to switch to The Beautiful Face Devotion Institute, using his Swap Token to bring a defiant Golf Ball along with him. For the challenge, Golf Ball tasks him with making the ice cream that needs to be sold, alongside Ruby and Coiny. He repeatedly tries and fails to guess the passcode to Gelatin's pantry until Coiny receives the correct code from Barbecue Sauce. After opening the vault, Tennis Ball immediately leaves Coiny and Ruby behind to retrieve the Yoylite, which he finds outside. He brings Golf Ball along to examine its microscopic structure, using the headphones Gelatin gave him as the microscope. When Pineapple activates the headphones by throwing its discarded volume up button, the noise causes him to shake and scribble over his diagram. This angers him and he kicks the microscope, which knocks a bowl of Ice Cube's remains off the roof of Gelatin's Steakhouse; a snowflake from the bowl lands and his team loses, having sold no ice cream.

Tennis Ball and Golf Ball in the science museum of Yoyle City

In "Welcome Back", Fries mentions that Tennis Ball developed a new strain of potato called Grotatoes that can grow with slightly less sun than normal. Later, Golf Ball and Tennis Ball visit a science museum, but Tennis Ball is hesitant to go in. When he finally gives in, Tennis Ball finds a wall teleporter inside and changes his mind about visiting this place. Golf Ball sees some vases which prompt a vision or flashback and she gets paranoid. Tennis Ball points out that that's the second weird episode she's had since they entered the building. Golf Ball is then persistent on leaving, but Tennis Ball complains they haven't even seen 10% of the gadgets yet. Tennis Ball finally follows her out but mentions it's the first time he has ever seen her make a decision irrationally.

The pair reaches Fries' Grotato farm, and Tennis Ball greets Coiny by showing him the wall teleporter. He explains to him that it can teleport anybody through a wall of up to 6 inches thick, but it can only teleport one person at a time. Coiny points out that the walls of the Tiny Loser Chamber are 5 inches thick, so they can free the people inside. Golf Ball tells him that the Tiny Loser Chamber is inside the Locker of Losers as well, which adds another five inches, equaling 10 inches total. However, as Tennis Ball points out, there is an ultra power-mode, which allows you to teleport through walls of up to 12 inches, which will take time to charge between usages. Tennis Ball, Golf Ball, Coiny, and Pin travel to the Locker of Losers to test out the device, meeting Yellow Face and Rocky on the way. Coiny proposes that they bring Snowball out first, which doesn't produce positive reactions. Pin suggests they bring out Roboty because his red tint could be used to recolor her. Tennis Ball explains that according to his calculations, Barf Bag would be the best to bring back, so Rocky's vomit could be contained.

Battle for BFDI[]

In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Tennis Ball first asks Foldy if she's seen Leafy. After being told where she is, he tries to tell Golf Ball, but she ignores him.

Tennis Ball is accepted into 8-Ball and Basketball's group, which would be later known as A Better Name Than That because he is a ball. When Golf Ball tells the team her plan to get back X's baskets, Blocky asks what Golf Ball and Tennis Ball will be doing. They both say they're team managers, but this gets Blocky angry, and he kills Tennis Ball. He remains dead for the rest of the episode, but apparently, he built a trebuchet before he died. This is used to launch 8-Ball and Basketball to weigh down the basket and later to launch the basket to X.

In "Lick Your Way to Freedom", the teams complain to Four that they want the dead contestants recovered. Four says that he will only recover one, and Grassy tells him to recover Tennis Ball. He is recovered, but none of the other contestants care as they still want the others recovered. When Golf Ball is recovered, she is informed that she is no longer team captain due to her disrespect to Grassy and is being replaced by 8-Ball. Golf Ball tells Tennis Ball to do something about this, and he relies upon that he tried stopping them but they wouldn't listen.

In "Today's Very Special Episode", when Golf Ball points out that they are wasting time (which was 8-Ball's order), Tennis Ball says that they are just following orders. He also protests when Golf Ball later tries drawing a picture as it is "treason" against 8-Ball's orders. After the challenge, 8-Ball realizes that the sarcasm he was employing nearly caused them to lose, and apologizes to Golf Ball. She asks if the team will accept her again, but the team still thinks she is disrespectful, and Tennis Ball doesn't want to disrespect Grassy.

In "Fortunate Ben", during the flying contest, Golf Ball asks Tennis Ball how the steering of the plane is going. He says there is no steering as it's actually just a paper plane.

In "Four Goes Too Far", when A Better Name Than That is discussing getting rid of Four, Golf Ball states that any number multiplied by zero is zero. Tennis Ball asks how this useful, to which Golf Ball replies that Four could be multiplied (using X) by zero (Donut). The plan is successful, and Tennis Ball acknowledges the fact that 4 x 0 = 0. When Pin asks how they are going to find out what the next contest is without Four, Tennis Ball says that Four became a factor of zero. After saying this, he starts wiggling his eyebrows along with Golf Ball. They both do this again as soon as Donut mentions that he has the factor of four within him.

In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", A Better Name Than That and Bleh are all stuck on the Moon due to the last challenge. Basketball says that she has been inspecting Robot Flower the last 2 weeks, and upon hearing this, Tennis Ball and Golf Ball start moving their eyebrows again. Basketball asks if they're done with that and Tennis Ball apologizes. When Robot Flower is used to give commands to the communicator dish of the rocket, which is then used to control Remote, he says he doesn't think it is very ethical, and that he and Remote used to play tetherball together. The connection is then suddenly lost, and Remote regains control of herself. Tennis Ball notices that the controls aren't working anymore and is told by Basketball to get off Robot Flower so she can sort it out. However, they aren't able to regain control of Remote and the Liar Ball lands in A Better Name Than That's team crater, causing the team to be up for elimination.

Remote's a person!

In "Questions Answered", due to the team still being on the Moon, Donut uses TV to communicate with them for Cake at Stake. He eventually ends up shutting Lollipop's mouth with his hands coming out of the screen, which is followed by Tennis Ball wondering how he's doing that. Eventually, the teams return to Earth (due to Donut bringing Earth right next to the Moon) and Cake at Stake continues. All of the team members are sitting away from Donut, who says they don't have to sit so far away. This is immediately followed by the whole team going inside his hole. Tennis Ball is safe with the least amount of votes and he asks if he gets a prize, that being a chopped up piece of Firey Speaker Box.

In "This Episode Is About Basketball", Tennis Ball questions how X came back after they multiplied Four and zero. Later, during the challenge, Blocky throws him and Basketball into the basket, declaring his team safe.

In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", Tennis Ball is chosen from his team to climb up the stairs. He refuses to let Flower past him and also tells her not to push him off as that'll just make the viewers vote for her. Eventually, Flower, using her Non-Slip Shoes So Ha, runs past everyone and pushes them off, TB included. Upon reaching the ground, he bounces up back onto the stairs. He then gets pushed off again when Dora zooms past him, but he bounces off the ground and lands on the stairs again. He eventually presses the button at the top, making his team safe.

In "What Do You Think of Roleplay?", Golf Ball asks Tennis Ball what the first thing he took from the Science Museum was, to which he correctly answers a Wall Teleporter. She tells him he must be the real Tennis Ball but then realizes Pin, Coiny, Nickel, and Fries also know about that, so he could be any of them as well.

In "Return of the Rocket Ship", when Four states that Firey Jr. got exactly 10,000 votes, Tennis Ball says that 10,000 is also 10^4.

After Four has announced the challenge, Tennis Ball asks Golf Ball how they are going to find out what X's treasure is without being able to read his mind. Golf Ball then shows Tennis Ball her MMR, which can read minds, and Tennis Ball is impressed. After explaining how it works, Golf Ball asks Tennis Ball to use the machine to read X's mind, which he agrees to. Tennis Ball puts on a headset and begins moving the dial on the MMR. Since the mind reader works both ways, Golf Ball tells Tennis Ball not to think of anything disrespectful to X. But it is hard for Tennis Ball to do this, as Golf Ball begins saying disrespectful things to not think of, which leads to Tennis Ball thinking "X is stupid" as the device activates. Tennis Ball reads X's mind and learns that his treasure is "various emeralds underground", and the coordinates at which some of them are located. He then switches off the MMR and relays this information to Golf Ball.

Later, Tennis Ball is seen next to Golf Ball. After Golf Ball would not tell her, Basketball asks Tennis Ball what the team's plan is. Tennis Ball asks Golf Ball and tells Basketball to dig over there, pointing in a direction.

Tennis Ball later enters Golf Ball's rocket with the rest of A Better Name Than That when they begin digging for the emeralds.

In "Don't Dig Straight Down", Tennis Ball and his team find an emerald. They then wall-jump to get to the surface to bring it to Four. After successfully doing so, Tennis Ball is relieved it went smoothly. However, he is then terrified at the sight of arms coming out of Four and walks away slowly.

Later, Tennis Ball is seen sitting with Golf Ball. When Golf Ball says it’s getting warm around here, Tennis Ball is hesitant to respond and starts to stutter. He then watches Golf Ball with an annoyed expression as she blocks iance from coming out of the ground.

In "The Four is Lava", Tennis Ball is stuck in a tree with Blocky and Robot Flower. Blocky leans the tree back to slingshot himself, leaving Robot Flower and Tennis Ball on an island with Flower. When Flower finds a remote in Cloudy's collection, Tennis Ball appears to recognize it and tells her to hit a button that could help them. Flower does so, which causes the lava to drain. With the lava gone, Flower, Tennis Ball, and Robot Flower begin racing to Four. Robot Flower uses her super speed to get to Four while holding on to Tennis Ball, making A Better Name Than That safe.

In "The Escape from Four", Tennis Ball is first seen walking to see Four struggle to do something and ends up trying to help pull the eliminated contestants out of him. When Two arrives, Tennis Ball isn't sure if they can trust him. Tennis Ball ends up changing his mind as he is seen switching to compete on The Power of Two to win Two's powers.

Battle for BFB[]

In "X Marks the Spot", Tennis Ball cheers when X is "glued" to the ground so that they could continue being the host.

In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", when Two says even they're a prime number, Tennis Ball makes a joke that he's "a" even prime. During the team making, he teams up with Golf Ball, who points out he made a grammatical error earlier. When making team names, Golf Ball stops talking once she realizes the team name will be whatever she says, Tennis Ball asks her "Are You Okay?", which ends up being the team name. For the challenge, the team uses Tennis Ball's trebuchet from BFB 1 after he fixes the lava damage of it. Fries points out the trebuchet is more like a catapult, and Tennis Ball says he had to improvise. It ends up flinging the team over their target and into a tree, which flings them back into the trebuchet, and repeat. Puffball eventually stops this by catching the entire team with Fries and dropping them on the roof of the building. They are the first team safe.

In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Tennis Ball asks Robot Flower what she thinks about triangles. Golf Ball tells Tennis Ball to stop being distracted as the challenge has started. After Basketball mocks Golf Ball for not caring about shapes, Tennis Ball has to drag Golf Ball back to their team. Tennis Ball can later be seen handing blocks to Fries and also says that he likes hypercubes. Tennis Ball and Fries can be seen admiring their tall stack when Black Hole starts sucking up their blocks. After Pen gets him to stop, Tennis Balls tells Pen that he did a good job. Tennis Ball ends up getting caught up in the crossfire between Teardrop and Death P.A.C.T. Again and is obliterated by a laser. His team still won with only one block.

In "Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters", Tennis Ball is first shown getting partially crushed by a stack of blocks, this causes him get flung into Robot Flower, who accidentally obliterates Teardrop with a Zap Ray. During the challenge, Tennis Ball grabs some blocks and runs into Golf Ball's underground factory where they get ready to build a rollercoaster for the amusement park. Once they're done, they head back to the park and upload the rollercoaster that Puffball imagined. It ends up being more hazardous than expected. Two gives it a 5/10 for being too dangerous, which is enough for Tennis Ball's team to be safe.

In "Gardening Zero", Tennis Ball's team is sent to Davidland to protect their Funny Plant. Before they leave, Tennis Ball informs Puffball that she isn't allowed to compete in today's challenge due to her rollercoaster mishap, as this was a rule set by Golf Ball. In Davidland, Tennis Ball finds their Funny Plant, but it is right next to the leg of a giant David. This is a problem as the reverberation rate of a David saying "Aw, seriously" is 2,763 which could kill their plant and potentially shatter their eardrums. But as long as they don't provoke the Davids, they'll be fine. Eraser points out that Tennis Ball and Golf Ball finished each other's sentences, but Golf Ball dismisses it. Despite some close calls from Fries, Eraser, and Pen, they manage to be safe by keeping their plant alive before two other teams had their plants killed.

In "Fishes and Dishes", Tennis Ball's team uses the breathable bubbles for the challenge since Golf Ball's robotic fish monster was stolen by The Strongest Team on Earth. Along the way, Golf Ball and Pen get into a fight, bumping their bubbles into each other. Tennis Ball interferes after Golf Ball is hit and bumps into Pen's bubble, which causes all three of them to get stuck bouncing into each other infinitely, until he's eaten by a fish monster. Tennis Ball's team is up for elimination.

In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", Tennis Ball is in the bottom two in Cake at Stake with Fries, but is safe with 4,788 votes. He is given a folder telling him to scare X. He does so by making spooky sounds and gets zapped by Four as a result.

For the challenge, his team decides to find a dream berry to give to Two. The closest one is shown to be in a crack inside of Golf Ball's Underground Factory, which is swarming with bugs. After Tennis Ball and Golf Ball kill the bugs, the team gets shrunk by Golf Ball's Shrink-A-Tron. They attempt to reach for the berry by holding each other's arms and legs as they lower down the crack, but they get knocked inside by a chocolate ball. A bug then crawls into the crack with them, with Tennis Ball thinking it's back for revenge. The team runs out of the crack and hopped onto Tree to get into his head to escape the bug. Later, Tree eventually shakes the team out of his head and Two brings them back to normal height. The team gets an 8/10 for their dream berry, making them safe. In the stinger, Tennis Ball gets zapped by X after trying to steal his and Four's food.

In "The Seven Wonders of Goiky", the team is being tasked to fix the volcano. As result of asking Golf Ball to take a break this episode, as the other bro, Pen asked Tennis Ball on what the team should do. He says that it is imperative to glue the volcano cracks or the lava will overflow and pour into the surroundings. TV then remembers that there is a glue on Robot Flower's counter which placed inside the hotel, offers the rest of the team member to drive them there with him. While looking for the glue, they met Just Not and Tennis Ball gets greeted by Bomby. Tennis Ball asks if Eraser have found the glue or not. Ended up with more pile of trash, Eraser goes straight to Basketball's Factory and although with force, managed to obtain the glue from her.

Few moments later, when Golf Ball and Puffball returned they're not seeing the rest of their teammates, but Tennis Ball immediately greets them while riding on TV's back. He is holding the glue, saying that he got the glue from Basketball's Factory. Golf Ball gives compliments to the team assuming that they've also read the TPOT Tips and Tricks book (which was written by her). Then Golf Ball asks Puffball to break the arch into pieces (which they got as a trade item with Just Not), so the team could glue the pieces onto the volcano. Tennis Ball is the one who glued the arch pieces. Knowing the Volcano is fixed, Two appears and congratulating the team, makes Are You Okay as the 4th team to be safe from elimination.

In "Balancing P.A.C.T.", Tennis Ball is first seen in a wide shot of every remaining contestant atop the repaired balance beam. After Pin shakes Donut enough for him to start rolling, Tennis Ball is the second object to jump over him.

A little bit later, Tennis Ball is seen listening to TV's wanting to win the challenge. Golf Ball then says that two of their team's members should go sabotage the other teams., with Tennis Ball agreeing, thinking that Golf Ball was referring to the duo. Tennis Ball is then upset when Golf Ball leaves on top of Puffball, but Pen says that the two of them can hang out together, putting a smile back on TB's face. Eraser suggests riding on TV and knocking other contestants off, and TB suggests making TV's casing more durable and less prone to slipping. But then Robot Flower knocks TV off, killing him, and bringing their team down a member, causing Pen, Eraser, and TB to scream.

Tennis Ball appears again when the remaining trio of Are You Okayers run to the end of the balance beam in hopes of knocking Teardrop off of the balance beam. After Eraser begins getting attacked by three of Team8's teammates, Tennis Ball picks up Pen with her foot and smacks Coiny on the top of his body, knocking him off. After Pen compliments her on the strategy she used, Tennis Ball says "Golf Ball taught me it's always handy to treat your friend like a tool!" After Barf Bag pleads her innocence by stating she has no idea where Teardrop is, Tennis Ball believes her and brings up the fact that Teardrop is a threat and that with only three members, it would be a risky move to try and defeat her. After Pen states his opinion on what the team should do, Tennis Ball thinks that on paper it's a good idea, but she would need to be hindered in some way to knock her off.

Tennis Ball is next seen for a few seconds, scared, when Snowball in his metal form knocks Barf Bag into the Goiky Canal and releases Teardrop.

Tennis Ball makes her final appearance in the episode (aside from the elimination screen) when her team and Snowball are arguing over Teardrop's fate. Tennis Ball states that in her weakened state, this would be an opportune time to get rid of a threat. After Snowball, Pen, and TB start fighting, Tennis Ball explains that she has an idea that, although might work, is also risky. She states that if both herself and Pen fall off, Snowball's metal and therefore weight might make him fall off. They decide to put their plan into action, and it does indeed work. Tennis Ball then tells Eraser that this is their chance to eliminate Teardrop.
