Big Top is a ticket booth animatronic that debuts in Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic as a secondary antagonist.
Physical Appearance[]
Normal[]
Big Top is a large spider-like animatronic, similar to DJ Music Man. He has bright, glowing yellow eyes, with what seems to be shutters over them, a large orange nose, white hair and mustache, and two gramophones on both sides of his head. He wears a hat with yellow lights going around the base. The inside of his mouth is a music box cylinder, with his teeth being the comb that plays music. His body is a red ticket booth with an openable hatch with four extra, smaller arms in it. The ticket booth has a bowtie design. He has two excavator-like arms on both sides of his body which he uses to crawl around on ceilings or walls after he rips himself out of the Big Top Showroom.
Busted[]
Big Top is later destroyed after falling down a long stairwell. Half of his face is missing, along with both shutters being completely destroyed, showing the endoskeleton underneath. The gramophones on his head become twisted and dented, and his hat has wires sticking out of it and the lights are broken. He has a wire sticking out of his right eye. His nose is completely gone and most of his teeth are missing. His body is notably dirtier, and the paint on his body has faded. His four excavator-like arms are chipped and dented. Some of the shutters on his body have been torn off.
History[]
Arnold first encounters Big Top at the Big Top Showroom where he lurks just behind the entrance curtains until Arnold restarts the area's power and Big Top accepts a ticket from him, at which point he becomes passive. Every time Arnold completes a midway game in the Big Top Showroom, the power goes out again and Arnold must sneak past Big Top to restart the power, hiding from Big Top as he looks around. Whenever Arnold reaches the panel to begin restarting the power, Big Top will slowly advance toward him, only returning to his original place when the power is fully restored. Once Arnold completes all the games and wins the Grand Prize, Big Top uproots himself and climbs out of the building while he isn't looking.
Big Top then ambushes Arnold on the roof, forcing him to retreat inside while Big Top chases him and smashes through floors to try to kill him. Eventually, Big Top and Arnold both fall down a stairwell shaft, causing critical damage to Big Top and seemingly deactivating him.
Much later, after Arnold runs the "Goodbye" protocol at the entrance showroom and descends on the elevator there, the wrecked Big Top reemerges from a nearby passage and crawls down after Arnold, who must continually pull levers to keep the elevator moving.
Theories and Speculation[]

"I was the first! I have seen everything!"
This section archives a lot of theories and speculation, which usually occurs from pre-release media, or just things that are still unknown, so please keep that in mind while reading. The page will continue to be updated with the most accurate information as more solid evidence is supplied. |
- It's speculated that Big Top was originally Edwin Murray's creation, which Fazbear Entertainment later took after sending the protagonist of Secret of the Mimic to Murray's Costume Manor.
- It is possible that Big Top is just a variant of The Mimic due to The Mimic having the ability to turn into a spider-like form in the Tales from the Pizzaplex Epilogues (Namely Epilogue #7).
- Like Jackie, some fans speculate that Big Top is simply influenced by the Mimic AI, citing his large size and characteristics such as hollow arms and head.
- However, as revealed in the post-July 4th celebration art, it is possible to see The Mimic's eyes inside Big Top's eyes, confirming that The Mimic is inside Big Top controlling it.[1]
Trivia[]
- Before Secret of the Mimic revealed his name, Big Top was primarily referred to as "Maestro Music Man" or just "Maestro Man".
- The color of his shoulder pads change from red to blue in his busted appearance.
