BattleBlock Theater characters: cast and roles

The cast mixes playable prisoners with story figures and stage enemies. A prisoner’s head choice does not replace the player’s selected weapons.

Edition covered

The 2013 game, using the Steam PC edition for reference. Steam now advertises a Quality of Life Remaster with campaign changes; this gallery is from that current publisher listing. Exact collectible coordinates in older Xbox 360 guides may differ.

Quick notes

  • Theater cast. The cast mixes playable prisoners with story figures and stage enemies.
  • Read the role before the appearance. The theater uses absurd character designs, but platforming rules are shared.
  • Hatty is part of the story. His role explains the theater premise.
  • Keep unlock information current. Special prisoner promotions have changed over time.
