The most exciting ride ever!

"Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters" is the third episode of Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two, and the 64th episode of the Battle for Dream Island series. Foldy is eliminated, and the featured challenge is to use the leftover blocks from the last episode to build an amusement park attraction.

Tropes include:

  • Anvil on Head: The stick figure in Yellow Face's "commercial" (which turns out not to be a commercial; see Bait-and-Switch below) gets hit in the head by an anvil.
  • Bait-and-Switch:
    Yellow Face: (in the style of his commercials) Are you a boring person being boring? Why not be entertaining for once?
    Clock: Yellow Face, enough ads!
    Yellow Face: I was talking to you.
  • Big "NO!":
    • Yellow Face's reaction when Two gives his team's stage a 0/10.
    • Saw's reaction when Team8s' restaurant gets zapped by a laser.
  • Breaking Old Trends: Thanks to Clock voicing his worries that the show will take a long time to finish if they only eliminate people one by one, Two does not hold a tiebreaker when The S! and Team8s both get a score of 0/10, instead making this episode the first ever double elimination round in BFDI.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Snowball looks up at The Strongest Team on Earth's logo above him, then notices it moving around onscreen. Basketball also notices the logo when it goes inside of Snowball.
  • Exact Words: The contest specifically says that the attractions should be made with the spare blocks from last episode's challenge, but many attractions only use the blocks as a minor building material. Are You Okay? creates a rollercoaster in which the seats are made from the blocks, with the actual track being made using Golf Ball's technology, Death P.A.C.T. Again's trampoline only uses the blocks as legs with the trampoline itself being a blanket and The S!'s stage is made of blocks but the actual attraction is a performance by Yellow Face (or, thanks to Clock, Winner). Just Not averts this, as their attraction has absolutely no blocks and is just random junk they found in the hotel.
  • Got Volunteered: The S!'s plan was to make a performance stage and have Yellow Face put on an act for Two, but this plan gets interrupted by Clock volunteering Winner, not to help the team win but because he's obsessed with the idea of Winner reentering the mainstream and becoming popular again. Winner leaves, meaning The S! is up for elimination.
  • Lame Pun Reaction:
    Saw: (after being picked up by Coiny) Wait! Why are we using me?
    Coiny: I saw an opportunity.
    Barf Bag: (laughs sarcastically)
  • Literally Shattered Lives: Bottle shatters when Clock accidentally knocks her over.
  • Oh, Crap!: Golf Ball's reaction when she sees the rollercoaster Puffball has designed.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: While The S! build a stage for the amusement park, Clock decides that this would be the perfect opportunity to see Winner perform by themselves without Loser. When it comes time to perform for Two, Winner protests that they never agreed to this, and walks off in disgust.
  • Too Dumb to Live: In The Stinger, Marker proves himself to be this when he eats a slice of cheesecake with shards of glass sticking out.
