BattleBlock Theater How to have the most fun in Battleblock Theater

Step 1: Plan It!

This guide is mostly for people new to Battleblock, but returning users can use it, too! Something I do recommend is either resetting your data, using another account, or just trying the whole thing again. (Not resetting your data, and just playing campaign again.) Once you've chosen one of these, you can start planning.

Yes, even though some people think otherwise, you can plan fun.

Choose a night that you can play -- I recommend weekends, of course. Make sure your friend (yes, it's almost essential to have a friend to have the most fun in BBT.) can come that day.

Of course, make your play space is comfortable, and no one will interrupt. Set up some snacks, sitting on the couch playing video games can get you hungry. Obviously, grab some drinks. Soda, chocolate milk -- pretty much the best drinks you can find.

Step 2: "Kill Yer Friend To Grab The Jem!"

Friends are almost essential. I recommend playing on XBOX 360, mainly because instead of being huddled in front of a computer, you can sit back and be relaxed.

But, since this is a Steam guide, I guess you could hook your laptop or desktop up to a huge monitor or maybe even use a Steam machine. (Which aren't out as of right now.)

You probably are going to want to hook up some XBOX 360 controllers via connection cord or wireless gaming receiver.

I definitely do not recommend online play. Why?

Maybe you want to actually have full communication, instead of relying on mics. Plus, you can share those snacks you set up.

You also have a huge advantage because you can punch yer friend if he's being stupid. (Trust me, this will happen a lot.)

Besides, friendship shouldn't be over screens, (yet your playing video games.) your friend should be with you, and should interact face to face. Or ad least that's what my mom says, I'm not entirely sure it's true.

Step 3: "I Like Mine With Jam, How About You?"

What flavory buttery topping will you add to your freshly baked slice of toast? (What mode will you play?) I don't recommend level editing if your going for a night of fun and laughter. (unless the levels your making are completely ridiculous.) Here are the top 3 things to do:

3. Complete it all

This is only for advanced players.

Have you finished the campaign? Cool! You earned the prize of awesomeness! Want to earn the prize of awesomeness beyond comprehension?

COMPLETE IT.

For example, unlock all the heads, unlock all the star heads, beat all the encores, buy all the weapons (which you probably have already done in the normal campaign) or beat insane mode. This is a very fun task to do with friends, me and my friend pulled an all-nighter doing it, and we still aren't finished.

2. Arena

This mode is great for a group. Unlike campaign when you can only have up to 2 players, you can have up to 4! It brings out your competitive spirit, and it's a ton of fun!

And maybe you and your friend can hit the internet (It's the new thing, not sure if you've heard of it.) and play with complete strangers and have a night of fun with them! It's up to you!

I highly suggest ball game, it's my personal favorite! ;)

1. Campaign

My friend and I spend countless nights of laughter and rage completing the campaign. It's great to do with friends. Here's some tips:

Don't skip the cut-scenes unless you've seen them before, they're super funny.

Don't play some levels while your friend isn't. If you didn't get the campaign done in that one night of fun that we planned in step 1, plan another one! Invite your friend for more amazing fun!

Plus, it's much better to play together!

Step 4: Remember Not To Take It To Seriously

This is quite possibly the most important step. Don't play BBT so you get a perfect A++ score, play it for fun.

Now, if you get something like a C then that's completely unacceptable. Go back and do the level again.

Just kidding. Play for the fun, not the grade. Sure, a little challenge or friendly competition is alright, just nothing to a point where your playing the same level millions of times until you get a perfect grade.

You died? So what! You're rewarded with big laughs and, of course, a funny quote from the narrator.

Feel free to push your friend into the spikes, he/she shouldn't mind.

Don't worry if they're being stupid, this is perfectly normal.

Step 5: No Rush, No Rush

Battleblock Theater isn't fun at all if you rush through it, skipping cut-scenes, punching your friend because he/she is going to slow. (Well, actually go ahead and punch your friend. He'll get hurt. And that's funny!)

DO NOT RUSH IT.

You'll be sad when the story of friendship will be over. Make the most of it. Who cares if you and your friend are stuck on one puzzle for a half an hour, all that matters is that you're having fun!

Like I said in step 3, don't play when your friend isn't. It's better to play levels together!

Step 6: Additional Settings

Here's some helpful settings to better your experience.

You can set how common the narrator speaks! I recommend Blabbermouth, because if this is set on, the narrator speaks more! Have fun laughing at his funny comments! (You can do this for the crowd, too! The higher the setting, the more they clap for your amazing deaths!)

I also suggest subtitles, so you'll never miss a joke in the cut-scenes! ;)

Step 7: Try Again!

The title says it all: do it again! Plan another night!

"And then it came back! *zhooooo* and it was even bigger this time! *zhhhhooooooooo* um uh, TWICE as big!"

Try to make the most of Battleblock Theater!

Bonus Round

Let's have some more fun!

Fan Vs. Vacuum Cleaner

Credit goes to Jamma003!

You and your friend should do something stupid.

Ad least once in your friendshipy quest, have one friend have the vacuum, and the other a fan, then use them at the same time.

Epic things will happen.

"When Frogs Fly..."

Credit goes to TF2_Fundamental_Spy!

More stupid things are on the way.

Both of you equip the Frog, stand 5-6 blocks away from each other, then start spamming frogs.

Then watch the monster you've created.

"SAAAAANNNNIIIIC FAAASSST!!"
