https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gold_ingot_pose.png
Voiced by: YellowAngiru
A golden ingot block who is the main host of Paper Puppets.
  • Bad Boss: Dumps all his paperwork onto Santa Hat, treats Loaf like dirt and ditched the show at one point for his golfing tournament. It's a wonder why he's hosting the show in the first place.
  • Catchphrase: Says "Shut Up" so often to the contestants, that it might as well be one.
    • He also used to say "Life isn't fair" in response to contestants' protests in season 1 but this became an Abandoned Catchphrase.
  • Game Show Host: And not a kind one, to say the least.
  • Giver of Lame Names: He randomly chose the names of H, ? (Question mark), 47 and later ] (bracket) for the Season 2 teams. How creative...
  • The Host: of both seasons.
  • Jerkass: With an object-show typical amount of co-host mistreatment that's usually played for laughs, Gold Ingot was acting like such a jerk for so long that both of his co-hosts actually left the show due to his mistreatment... Yikes...
  • Nice Mean And In Between: The mean to Santa Hat's in-between and Loaf's Nice.
  • Silence of Sadness: After Santa Hat and Loaf quit, he becomes despondent for most of "Rainy Day".
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: As the series went on, he became much more rude to the contestants.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: He becomes much kinder after the ends of "Rainy Day".... Only so that it will make Santa and and Loaf come back.
  • Too Upset to Create: He becomes too demotivated to host after the events of "Hole-Hearted", so his cousins decide to cover for him the following episode.
  • Rejected Apology: He travels to Loaf's place to apologize to him and Santa Loaf in hopes of getting them back... But they reject him, saying that they don't forgive him and are happier with their current lives.
  • Must Make Amends: After Santa Hat and Loaf quit, he becomes much nicer in hopes that they will return to the show.

A christmas hat and the overworked co-host of Paper Puppets
  • Ascended Extra: From a recommended character way back in Season 1 to Gold Ingot's trustworthy assistant in Paper Puppets Take 2.
  • Beleaguered Assistant: She said herself that Gold Ingot was notorious for dumping all the tedious paperwork and menial tasks of the show onto her and even choosing to ignore her. After the mistreatment continued, her desire to be anywhere else but working on the show turned into... well...
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Having enough of Gold Ingot's attitude towards her and Loaf and his lack of appreciation or care about the work she does to keep the show afloat, she quit Paper Puppets, packed her bags and left for the next bus home in "Hole-Hearted" alongside Loaf.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: By being ripped in half and burned alive with the other recommended characters that didn't enter the game in "The Debut".note 
  • Out of Focus: She does not get as much screen time as Loaf which had a justifiable reason of coping with Gold Ignot's paperwork he recklessly abandoned as reveal in "Subordinate Solvers".
  • Nice Mean And In Between: The in-between to Loaf's nice and Gold Ingot's mean.

Three interns that Gold Ingot hired to help him out in the second season. They also happen to be his cousins.
  • Big, Thin, Short Trio: Bronze's the Big (Since he's wider than the other two), Platinum's the Thin and Silver's the Short.

Voiced by: YearsAnimations/Towno (S2E7-present)
  • A Day in the Limelight: "Platinum Puppets" focuses on him attemping to take over hosting for the show in Gold Ingot's absence.
  • Attention Whore: He is constantly trying to get a chance to co-host and often complains when he isn't. He craves attention so much, that anything as minor as Silver providing cupcakes is seen as "hogging the spotlight" from him.
  • Born Unlucky: Nothing he does seems to go right for him. Even smacking a chair results in him getting a chandelier dropped onto him.
  • Creator Backlash: In-Universe. After Bronze and Silver escape the shed, Platinum gets very angry at the two, and furiously runs away saying that he hates the show.
Platinum: I hate this stupid show!, I hate it, I hate it, I HATE IT!
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Often envies his cousins for being more successful than him.
  • Inelegant Blubbering: After losing his paper in episode 14, he begins pathetically crying in front of the remaining contestants. Saying that Gold Ingot and his two wonderful cousins have left the show.
  • It's All About Me: One thing Platinum cares about the most is him being in the spotlight, and him only. The entirety of "Platinum Puppets" revolves around him trying(and failing) to take over and rebrand the show to the aforementioned episode title.
  • Irony: Platinum is the most valuable out of the 4 metals, yet he's incredibly unlucky and doesn't get any attention or appreciation for his efforts.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds:
  • Your Makeup Is Running: Does this while he's crying pathetically in episode 14.

S2 Rank: 19th
Team: ?
Voiced by: YellowAngiru (S2E1), Jacob Fairclough (S2E2), Aidsie (S2E3-present)
A diamond ace card. This magician has a few aces up his sleeves, no pun intended, as he uses his innate powers to glide through the competition.
  • Magicians Are Wizards: He performs magic tricks and has actual magic powers, quite fitting for an Ace card.
  • Mind over Matter: His main form of magic.
  • Power Floats: Can levitate and fly using his powers which give off an white iridescent glow.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Rather than accepting his fate in the Dark Pit of Despair, he teleports away from competition grounds during his elimination and is currently on a tropical beach vacation.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Ace really didn't do much during the competition except warning Globe how his alliance with Team H might go south. Unfortunately, Globe took it too seriously and became paranoid over Caramel Cube betraying him (But judging by his attempts to prevent him, it's on its way to a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy).
  • Teleportation: At the snap of his fingers, he can vanish in an instant to God knows where. This lets him avoid joining the contestants in The Dark Pit of Despair when the time for his elimination has come.
  • Tropical Epilogue: How he spends the rest of his days after his time in the show.

A miniature-sized basketball.
  • Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: He's the Brains to Chainsaw's Brawn and Slipper's Beauty since Basketball has the most common sense between the three.
  • Evil Brit: While not evil, he sports a noticeable British accent, and is none too kind. He's on the same team as Chainsaw and Slipper, and like them, he doesn't mind playing dirty to get ahead in challenges.
  • Lazy Bum: Is often seen doing the bare minimum in challenges before leaving the rest of the work to his team. It's no surprise as to why he tends to be on the receiving end of Slipper's insults. This is insulted by Plasma Ball, who gets sick of his laziness and THROWS him at Platinum in episode 14.
  • Two Guys and a Girl: with Chainsaw and Slipper due to the formation of Team ].
  • Unexplained Accent: He suddenly gains a British accent starting from "Blue Nightmares" due to switching voice actors.

  • Tears of Remorse: Has these after losing Post-It Note following the latter's elimination in episode 14.
  • Rejected Apology: Attempts to apologize to Post-It Note after she gets him eliminated, but is promptly shut down. Leaving her reduced to tears at losing the former.

Voiced by: YellowAngiru
An aggressive electric chainsaw. It goes without saying that he is one of the meanest contestants to be on this show, having no qualms in cheating, lying and beating up people.
  • Arch-Enemies: He holds disdain for Treasure Chest ever since their falling out in "Don't Press It!". This esclates further due to Treasure Chest not only opposing his methods, but pursing him in a cart chase in an attempt to persuade him back onto Team 47. Needless to say, Chainsaw doesn't hesitate to not only resort to physical violence against him, but sabotage as well.
  • Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: He's the Brawn to Slipper's Beauty and Basketball's Brains as Chainsaw's solution to all his problems involve unnecessary violence and roughhousing.
  • Breaking the Fellowship: Wanting to do things his way, Chainsaw splits up Team 47 by forming Team ] with Slipper and Basketball. From there, he encourages his team to cheat and use underhand tactics in order to win.
  • Jerkass: In addition to his brash attitude, he doesn't play by the rules and frequently gets into fights with his teammates, something Treasure Chest highly disapproves of.
  • The Leader: of Team ] (bracket).
  • Two Guys and a Girl: With Basketball and Slipper due to the formation of Team ].
  • Would Hit a Girl: Has threatened Bubble Wrap for calling him "Cute" while wearing a girly princess outfit in "The Paper Pelican".

  • Scars Are Forever: He gained a nasty crack in the 5 year anniversary short after Chip threw the camera at him. The crack lasted until episode 13 of the next season.
  • The Klutz: Very prone to this. Sometimes it even results in him shattering himself by accident.

S2 Rank:22nd
Team: H
Voiced by: YellowAngiru
A hot-pink gaming console who is attached to his devices such as his 3DS, and is always seen playing it. This results in him not concentrating as much on the actual show and whenever he does, which is almost never, he cracks gaming jokes and acts spitefully towards other contestants.
  • Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: He's a gaming console who plays video games and has the personality of your average gaming nerd.
  • Bland-Name Product: His new name is now this according to the Paper Puppets Take 2 Official Poses because of copyright issues.
  • Early Installment Character-Design Difference: His original design was a cartoon rendition of the Gameboy Color itself. When he got redesigned, the layout of his buttons were tweaked to differentiate itself from the real product. Not only that, but they now tower over most of the characters, whereas he was shorter than Plasma Ball beforehand.
  • Hypocrite: Gamebot chides Plasma Ball in "Blue Nightmares" for not helping the team overcome in obstacle, but he was do distracted charging his 3DS during his team's struggle to help with anything himself.
  • Pungeon Master: Cracks a video game related pun at every opportunity he can. He even acknowledges this in "The Paper Pelican".
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Hot pink to be precise as his main colour scheme.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Even though they got eliminated early on and barely did much beforehand, him earning the immunity token and refusing to use it resulted in Treasure Chest snatching it for later use. Thus kickstarting a chain of events in later episodes.
  • Sudden Name Change: He used to be called Gameboy Color in the earlier episodes until it was changed.

A broken shard of glass.
  • Heroic BSoD: He still hasn't gotten over Flashlight's breakup and the next time we see him, he's lying emotionlessly in a dark corner, all empty inside.
  • Jerkass: Back in season 1, Glass Shard was much more abrasive towards the contestants. Even going as far as to enable the bullying of certain ones. He appears to have mellowed out significantly since dating Flashlight, however.
  • Official Couple: With Flashlight that is until their breakup in "Subordinate Solvers"
  • Supporting Leader: He takes up the mantle for his team after Bottle gets eliminated early on season 1.
  • Took a Level in Kindness:
    • Over the course of season 1, he becomes less rude as he realizes how unpopular it makes him. He also warms up to Flashlight, with the two becoming a couple in the Christmas episode.
    • Despite being unnecessarily cold toward Flashlight in the earlier episodes of the second season, Glass Shard is understanding towards Flashlight about her choice in breaking up with him and lets her know once she is eliminated.

  • Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Ace warns Globe that Caramel Cube might betray their alliance, leading Globe to sabotage her.

A suspended Chinese gong.
  • Best Friend: To Toothbrush.
  • Berserk Button: Don't call him "Fat" unless you want to be punted straight across the room.
  • Lethal Chef: When tasked with watching his team's roast chicken cook in "Culinary Catastrophe", he incinerated the poor thing to a crisp and was subsequently eliminated for it.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Season 1 didn't really give him much of a personality and being eliminated first in season 2 didn't help his cause.

S2 Rank:12th
Team: 47
Voiced by: YellowAngiru
A personal, hardcover journal.
  • Break the Cutie: Once he enters the cave behind the waterfall, it's safe to say his life changes for the worst.
  • Declarative Finger: Frequently does this, usually during explanations. His official pose is even near identical to Post-It Note to show that he's also a genius.
  • The Cassandra: Nobody believes him when he encountered Mr. Hand back in "Blue Nightmares".
  • Covered in Mud: Gets pushed into a mud puddle by Bubble Wrap after he insults her at the end of "Rainy Day". His cover becomes stained as a result.
  • Properly Paranoid: Becomes more and more paranoid upon finding out that Mr. Hand plans on returning, with nothing being done to stop it. Even worse, his own teammates don't seem to believe him.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives this to Treasure Chest when he escapes his own elimination in "Picture Perfect",, his whole team when they lose in "Rainy Day", and again to Treasure Chest in "Dungeons and Dimwits" before leaving the game.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He leaves the game to continue his research at the end of "Dungeons and Dimwits".
  • Science Foils: With Post-It Note.
  • The Smart Guy: Appears to have a level of knowledge only matched by Post-It Note. This knowledge includes, but isn't limited to: machinery, portals, physics, and beanbag trajectory.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: As the episodes go on, he becomes more bitter and ruder due to his paranoia. This leads to things such as him breaking off his lab partnership with Post-It Note, arguing with Treasure Chest, and eventually running away.
  • Trauma Conga Line: Oh, where to even start? He gets kidnapped, finds out that Mr. Hand is planning on coming back, nobody believes that he is coming back, works to the point where he barely sleeps or eat, and his paranoia gets the point where he starts hallucinating about him. To make matters worse, it turns out that machine he saw in the first episode is the key to bringing Mr. Hand back. And because of all of this stress becomes more and more irrational and rude, pushing away all of his allies in the process. And during a later challenge, he ends up hallucinating and gets a panic attack that causes him to run away, effectively choosing to continue his plans away from the competition. Poor guy...
  • Workaholic: He is heavily focused on his research about Mr Hand, often caring little to none for his own well-being.

A knight helmet with a thick plume on top. His overall personality is forwarded over to the "hero" of the cast. He acts brave and determined, ready to take any task. Deep down, he is the exact opposite of a hero but due to him not realizing this, he acts as if the other contestants are nothing compared to him.
  • Casanova Wannabe: Tries hitting on all the girls on his team. Emphasis on tries since all of them rejected his advances.
  • Foil: To the more cynical, down to earth Plasma Ball.
  • Heroic Wannabe: He believes to be the hero of the cast when he's anything but.
  • Sick Episode: In episode 5.
  • Power Trio: With Caramel Cube and Plasma Ball.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Plasma Ball and later Chainsaw, since episode 14.
  • You Are Too Late: After Flashlight is eliminated.
  • Tears of Remorse: Has these in episode 10 as he tries his best to talk to Flashlight after her elimination. Guess what happens next?
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: He lives his life as if it were a medieval fairytale, with him the "dashing" knight on a daring quest. In reality, he's on a competition show in modern times and is clearly deluded in his fantasy.

A malachite mineral.
  • Expy: A confirmed one of Brick McArthur from Total Drama. He shares the attributes of a soldier and has a softer, more sensitive side to him.
  • Military Salute: He tends to do this throughout the show, in his official pose and before he falls into the Dark Pit of Despair.
  • Non-Gameplay Elimination: Treasure Chest would have been eliminated instead of Malachite had the former not used Gamebot Berry's immunity token, swiped from episode 4.

  • Pint Sized Power House: At the carnival, she effortlessly wins the strength test game.
  • The Perfectionist: In the ninth episode, she wanted to make the perfect sandcastle so she can take a great picture for the challenge. However after many repeated attempts, Bottle convinces her the sandcastle is good enough but Gold Ingot didn't think so which proves Milk's point right.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Is eliminated by Plasma Ball, all as for breaking the former's face in episode 10.
  • Supreme Chef: Proves herself to be this in "Culinary Catastrophe" which results winning for her team.

A frying pan best known for his lack of intelligence and loose grip on reality. Although well-meaning and friendly towards everyone, no one wants to be around him.
  • Achievements in Ignorance: Can somehow defy gravity in several episodes of Season 2 without any means or explanation.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: to the absolute max.
  • The Ditz: Easily the dumbest character on the show hands down (no offense to Pan).
  • Extreme Omnivore: Pan enjoys a variety of foods, including cotton candy, potato chips, and cardboard boxes.
  • Jaw Drop: He is locked into this expression when Gold Ingot reveals he's been eliminated in "Rowdy Runaway".
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: While Pan seems to enjoy hanging out with other contestants, his unusual behaviors and his obliviousness can make others wary to hang out with him. His team is often disadvantaged by his unawareness.
  • The Load: Pan often screws up challenges for his team because of his complete obliviousness to the surroundings.
  • Oblivious to Love: Never seemed to realize Bag's slight attraction to him in season 1 and never will.
  • Plucky Comic Relief: While Pan's carefree nature can get in the way of others, it also makes for some of the show's most hilarious jokes.

  • Eyepatch of Power: Gained one with a smiley face on it from Platinum in episode 11, which is what she has been wearing since.
  • Foil: To the bumbling over-dramatic Heroic Wannabe Knight Helment.
  • Literally Shattered Lives: For the same reasons as Bottle, smashing her glass dome means instant death as it is her face.
  • Power Trio: With Caramel Cube and Knight Helmet. At least until Caramel Cube's elimination.
  • Rage Breaking Point: Does this in episode 14, when Basketball doesn't wanna do the challenge.
  • Scary Teeth: Sometimes portrayed with serrated upper teeth when extremely mad.
  • Straight Man: To Knight Helmet (and to some extent, a few of her other teammates).
  • The Dog Bites Back: Gives this to Milk in episode 12, for cracking the left side of her face in episode 10.

A wad of yellow post-it notes.
  • Abandoned Catchphrase: Used to say "According to my calculations.." to begin most of his sentences but this was dropped when season 2 came about.
  • Butt-Monkey: Was a victim to a lot of the show's slapstick and ridicule. From getting squished by a Nintendo DS multiple times, to even having a whole advertisement dedicated to killing him in creative ways. While this is no longer the case in season 2, his luck doesn't get any better there.
  • Insufferable Genius: Is this in season one, if his Abandoned Catchphrase are anything to go by. Along with his longwinded rambles, everyone got sick of him pretty quickly. The insufferable part has been toned down a notch in season 2, however.
  • If My Calculations Are Correct: Often started with a variation of his as a part of his Abandoned Catchphrase in season 1.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Often makes these to the antics of his own team and occasionally even Gold Ingot himself.
  • Declarative Finger: To highlight his genius, he is in this pose for the majority of the first season. This extends to all of his portraits, except the updated voting icon.
  • Moment of Weakness: Becomes more irritable and less tolerant of his friend's mishaps following the events of "Dungeons and Dimwits". This leads to straining his relationships with Bottle and Cup and subsequently his own elimination.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: His Insufferable Genius personality led to everyone, even Gold Ingot himself, disliking him. This is Averted in season 2 since it doesn't seem to be the case there anymore.
  • Science Foils: With Journal.
  • Straight Man: To his team, but especially towards zanier characters such as Cup and Pan.
  • Straight Man and Wise Guy: To Pan and Cup. Downplayed for the latter due to their falling out in "Living On the Edge" and misunderstanding the episode after.
  • The Smart Guy: And he knows it. He's not afraid to give advice or point out other people's errors. He sometimes comes up with plans that are more well thought out than the ones his own team captain makes. He even the shares the exact same pose as Journal, a character with an equal amount of intelligence.
  • We Used To Be Friend: His friendship with Bottle died out by "Living on the Edge" and "Platinum Puppets" (as proven by him being unhappy at Bottle when she asked him to work together again)
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Gives this to Bottle in "Platinum Puppets" for not voting with him in "Living on the Edge", and again in the same episode, for joining forces with Chainsaw, where she gets him eliminated.

Voiced by: YellowAngiru (S2E1-S2E2), Pirans (S2E3-present)
A wooden treasure chest.
  • Guilt Complex: As The Leader of Team 47, he takes responsibility for ANYTHING bad that happens with his team, even if he wasn't the actual cause. He's willing to go almost any length just to "fix" the problem and make it up to his team.
  • I Did What I Had to Do: When he gets eliminated in Picture Perfect, he uses the immunity token Gamebot Berry dropped, eliminating Malachite instead. When one of his teammates calls him out for it, he explains it was to make sure his team doesn't go up for elimination again.
  • How the Mighty Have Fallen: He was once a team captain respected by his team of 8 and a high winning streak. However, most of them turn on him over the course of the show. By the time the merge arrives, only Treasure Chest himself remains on his own team.
  • The Chains of Commanding: Throughout the show, Treasure Chest struggles to keep his team in order. His attempts grow more and more desperate, and they only end up making the problem even worse.
  • The Dog Bites Back: In an attempt to escape his own elimination in "Picture Perfect", his team eventually dissolves. By "Living on the Edge", he was the only remaining member of his own team
  • The Leader: of Team 47.
  • Unluckily Lucky: For everything good that happens to him, there's always a catch to it. Having a long winning streak with 8 people on your team? Half of your teammates leave for their own team and the rest get eliminated. Survive getting eliminated by using a token you found on the floor? Now one of your remaining teammates hates your guts. Make it to the merge? Now said former teammates are dominating the game and purging any threat that comes their way. He just can't catch a break, can he?

  • Implied Love Interest: It's suggested that she has a crush on Pan as shown in "A Ruff Time" when she was ecstatic upon Pan saying he liked her (but he was really talking about Utopian trees)
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Became more rude and self-centered in the second season. It's implied that she's doing this to be seen as "likable", especially by the viewers.

  • Blue with Shock: Upon finding out that he didn't rejoin season 2 in "Dungeons and Dimwits".
  • Cabin Fever: Downplayed, as despite growing more and more desperate to get out of the Dark Pit of Despair over time, he seems pretty level-headed otherwise.

Voiced by: YellowAngiru
  • Big Bad: Is implied to be this for Season 2.
  • Creepy Blue Eyes: Sometimes sports these in the appearences he has in season 2.
  • Evil All Along: Who knew a soft-spoken hand puppet would turn out to be an evil genius in the lighthearted and silly first season?
  • Evil Sounds Deep: When he made his appearance again in "Blue Nightmares", his voice had deepened to scary and intimadating levels. He's the main villain if you can't tell.
  • Four-Fingered Hands: He is literally this in season 2 which is weird since he averted the trope back in Season 1.
  • Second Episode Introduction: Debuted in the second episode of season 1, "Now With Music" after the main cast was established the previous episode.
