 The code for activating Authentic Mode. Authentic Mode can be activated by inputting the code 10181996 into the You Can Think Pad in either Classic or Party Style. Doing this will bring the player back to the main menu, and every game started from then on will be in Authentic Mode until either the game is restarted or the code is inputted again. The code is located on the wall of Baldi's Office when meeting Baldi in there.

When Authentic Mode is activated.
While this mode is active, the screen has a large border around it, which emulates a TV screen. The game's quality is significantly decreased and has a lower frame rate, and the player must use the "Strafe left" and "Strafe right" action keys to look left to right instead of the mouse. The player also must click on the lever on the Staminometer to toggle running. To use items, the player must face the direction of what they are going to use it on, and then left-click on the item while facing the object.
Trivia[]
General[]
- This mode was vaguely teased on mystman12's Twitter/X.[1]
- The Authentic Mode border frame features the same inventory from Baldi's Basics Classic and Birthday Bash.
- Authentic Mode may be a reference to the PC first-person shooter game DOOM, from 1993. The Baldi head glancing side-to-side frantically seems to be reminiscent of the protagonist's face, repeatedly glancing from side to side.
- It is also a reference to the game Sonic's Schoolhouse as the code is actually the date 10/18/1996 which is the release date of Sonic's Schoolhouse.
- The background of the user interface appears to be a higher quality version of the brick wall texture.
Baldi's Basics Plus[]
- In the
Subtitles_En.jsonfile, there is an unused description for this mode. It reads:
Experience Baldi's Basics like
it was really released in 1999!
- The code of this mode was accidentally added in V0.3.5, but it was only playable with extra settings. It was reintroduced in Classic Remastered and it is normally playable with a secret code.
Glitches[]
Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered[]
- Using Energy Flavored Zesty Bar causes a visual glitch with the stamina meter's needle.
- It makes it look like the player's stamina is low at first, but then, instantly spikes up to 100%.
