BSODA

"No drinking drinks in the halls!"

- Principal of the Thing

BSODA is an inventory item in the Baldi's Basics series.

Description
BSODA is a navy blue can with a gray top and bottom, and white text showing the slogan: "Restart_Refresh_BSODA". However, the slogan on the small icon is just "BSODA" written diagonally.

Usage
BSODA can push almost all characters in the Schoolhouse or Super Schoolhouse, making it useful to temporarily stall Baldi and the other characters, except It's a Bully and Chalkles. When used, it spits out a blue spray that is the same color as the can. If the player presses the "Look back" key or button (Space bar by default) to look backwards before using BSODA, they can spray behind them. BSODA can also be used to open standard doors or swinging doors, but there should be a character being pushed by it.

If Principal of the Thing sees the player using BSODA, he will scold them for breaking one of the School Rules unless they wear the Faculty Nametag or they are in the playground or his office.

The BSODA spray can go through walls, which means it will last until the character being pushed by it runs into a wall or until 30 seconds pass. If the Bully is in its path, any character can be stopped by him.

Main Gameplay
BSODA can be found in faculty rooms, or in a BSODA machine when the player inserts a Quarter. It is also one of the possible rewards when completing a field trip. It can also spawn in the Principal's office during the party event.
 * General

BSODA can be found in a faculty room with a Quarter, close to the door.
 * Endless Mode - Medium

Challenges

 * In the Speedy Challenge, one BSODA can be obtained from the BSODA machine. Another BSODA is found in a faculty room.
 * In the Grapple Challenge, two free BSODAs can be found in each faculty room and another can be purchased from the BSODA machine using the Quarter.
 * In the Stealthy Challenge, BSODA is absent.

Other Appearances

 * In Baldi's Basics Classic, a free BSODA can be found from one of the tables inside the cafeteria. However, the BSODA spray seems to be small and slightly faster.
 * In Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash, BSODA can be either found in presents or purchased from the Crazy Item machine. Its spray has the same properties like in Classic.
 * In Baldi's Basics - Field Trip demo: Camping, the item is obtained when the player successfully completes the demo with 25,000 or more points, along with Baldi's Least Favorite Tape and the Energy Flavored Zesty Bar. Although, the player cannot use these items as the demo skips to the Kickstarter promotion ending.
 * In Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo, while there are no free BSODAs found, they can be still obtained from a BSODA machine and randomly from the party event.
 * In Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Exclusive Demo, BSODA is found in the same way as in Baldi's Basics Plus before V0.2. Since Baldi's Basics Plus V0.2, the BSODA can also be found in Johnny's Store.

Trivia

 * General
 * BSODA is a reference to the Blue Screen of Death, a screen displayed when a critical error occurs on a Windows OS.
 * The BSODA machine's slogan further reflects this.
 * BSODA is a play on the acronym for the Blue Screen of Death: BSoD.
 * While the game itself has a ton of inspirations from Sonic's Schoolhouse, the idea of the BSODA's existence based on the Blue Screen of Death is taken from the Sonic's Schoolhouse ' s rare error that sometimes causes its operating system to crash to a Blue Screen of Death when attempting to exit the game.


 * Baldi's Basics Plus
 * BSODA is one of the few items to have a unique alternate sprite for inventory slots instead of a resized file, along with the Portal Poster.
 * BSODA's function is similar to Gotta Sweep and 1st Prize. BSODA is an item though, while Gotta Sweep and 1st Prize are characters.
 * The player sprays BSODA instead of drinking it, despite Principal of the Thing's quote "No drinking drinks in the halls!". When thought about, his claim does not make sense.
 * The sprite of BSODA's spray seems way bigger than one in Classic/Birthday Bash and also seems to move slower.


 * Classic/Birthday Bash
 * In the class name of the BSODA's spray, "Spray" is misspelled as "Spary".
 * BSODA could open swinging doors even if there is no character being pushed.


 * Baldi's Basics Classic
 * Prior to V1.3, the sound of spraying BSODA was not implemented.

Glitches

 * Baldi's Basics Plus
 * V0.3.4 BSODA half.png using BSODA when Principal of the Thing is coming too close to the player after they are scolded by him, then sometimes, BSODA's spray will partially clip through the ground.
 * When using a BSODA on a character while they are moved by something else like Cloudy Copter's wind or the conveyor belt, they can sometimes clip through the BSODA spray. It is unknown whether if it is intentional or a bug.


 * Baldi's Basics Classic
 * Prior to V1.2.2, the BSODA spray would pass right through NPCs instead of pushing them back.


 * Demos
 * In Full Game Early Demo and Kickstarter Exclusive Demo, if the player uses BSODA on Baldi while he is eating An Apple, Baldi will hover around the player until he stops eating, which literally leads to losing a life or leading to a game over if the player does not beat the floor in time or does not have another Apple. This glitch no longer happens in Baldi's Basics Plus.
