Five Nights at Freddy's 2[]

Mangle begins the night in a corner at Kid's Cove, in a contorted heap of machinery. Once activated, they will mainly travel the pizzeria via the ceiling. However, in some rooms, they may be seen traveling via either wall or floor, almost appearing to spectate the area. They travel through the Prize Corner, Game Area, Main Hall, the hallway outside the Office, then Party Room 1, and then Party Room 2, before finally crawling through the Right Air Vent to reach the Office.
Mangle does not try to enter the office from the hallway. They frequently appear in the same room with other animatronics. When they move in or out of a room that is monitored by the cameras, a static feed will occur. Mangle will generally only enter The Office when another animatronic is currently in there, thus making both the animatronic in The Office and Mangle easier to fend off.
Mangle is a fairly active animatronic, as they can leave Kid's Cove as early as 12 AM on Night 2 and arrive at the hallway within the hour. It is not important to watch them, as their radio frequency sounds can be heard when they are in the vent (this is not heard in the original mobile version, so it is vital to keep an eye on them there). Once Mangle is spotted in the Right Air Vent's blind spot, the player must put on the Freddy Fazbear Head to ward them off. If the player brings up and then lowers the Monitor before putting the head on, Mangle will appear on the ceiling in the night guard's office. Unlike other animatronics, Mangle cannot be repelled by the Freddy Fazbear Head in this position, no matter how fast the player's reaction time is.
At this point, Mangle may randomly attack after the Monitor is pulled up and down, where their head swings down from the ceiling towards the night guard's face, seemingly intending to bite them. It appears they cannot be made to leave once inside The Office, besides waiting until 6 AM, which makes surviving the night nearly impossible unless they are very close to the end; bringing up the Monitor will trigger Mangle's attack once lowered again, but the player will need to use it to wind the Music Box, lest the Puppet come after them. On early nights, however, Mangle may not attack when the Monitor is raised.
However, if the player does put on the head when Mangle is in the Right Air Vent, then they will exit the vent and return to the Main Hall, and their cycle will repeat from there.
From the Custom Night, night modes where Mangle is active are listed as follows:
- New & Shiny (10)
- Ladies Night (20)
- Foxy Foxy (20)
- Cupcake Challenge (5)
- Fazbear Fever (10)
- Golden Freddy (20)
Five Nights at Freddy's 3[]

Mangle only appears as a lifeless pile of parts in Five Nights at Freddy's 3 along with the other Five Nights at Freddy's 2 animatronics (excluding the withered animatronics.) Their appearance does not affect gameplay and is only there for aesthetic purposes. They are majorly replaced by Phantom Mangle.

Mangle's most notable appearance is in the minigame "Mangle's Quest". This minigame can be accessed only on Night 2, by viewing CAM 07 and clicking on the top-left, then bottom-left, then top-right, then bottom-right buttons on the left side of the arcade machine.
In this game, the player plays as Mangle trying to collect all of their mechanical parts, while avoiding a child running around. Touching the child will abruptly end the minigame. Upon collecting all of Mangle's parts, an Exit door will appear on the very right, and touching said door will end the minigame.
However, if the player is aiming to get the "Good Ending", new actions must be taken. After collecting all of Mangle's parts and avoiding the child, then the player will be able to exit the inner room by jumping through an invisible exit in the top-right of the inner room. Mangle will then fall a considerable distance into a primarily red-colored atmosphere until they reach the ground. Going left will reveal several red balloon platforms. Follow these red balloons, and if BB's Air Adventure has advanced to at least the Third Ending, Mangle will find a cake on the last red balloon. Touching this will end the minigame and unlock the Foxy/Mangle mask child in the Happiest Day minigame.
Upon collecting this cake, the player must return to BB's Air Adventure and give it to the gray child found in the game.
Five Nights at Freddy's 4[]
Like most of the other original animatronics from the previous installments, Mangle does not make any major appearance in Five Nights at Freddy's 4. They only make one brief appearance as a toy in an Atari-style minigame at the end of Night 1 and Night 3.
While the original Mangle doesn't represent themself in the gameplay, they are replaced with their nightmarish incarnation, Nightmare Mangle, who majorly replaces Nightmare Foxy in the Five Nights at Freddy's 4: Halloween Update.
In the minigames, if the player walks all the way to the end of the Bedroom to the right, they can find a toy of Mangle, which consists only of their mask head, their endoskeleton head, one of their limbs, and scattered bits of endoskeleton pieces. It should be noted that they are pink colored.
Ultimate Custom Night[]

“Unlike the other animatronics in the vents, once Mangle reaches the vent opening he will never leave. Use the vent-snare to prevent her from making it that far.” |
Mangle returns as one of the selectable characters of Ultimate Custom Night.
Mangle, like a few other animatronics, will climb into the Vents to attack the player. To fend them off, the player needs to activate one of the three available Vent Snares to block off Mangle's attack. However, if they reach the vent opening, they will remain there even if the player closes it, much like Freddy Fazbear from the first game, and also will never leave once they sneak into the Office. Once they reach the vent opening, they will also stay there and create garbled noises that increase the Noise Meter, which they will continue to create until the end of the night and if they enter the office.
Once inside the office, if the player keeps flicking up the monitor constantly, Mangle will drop down to perform their jumpscare and end the night in the process. Due to their small frame and mutilated state, Mangle can slip past Withered Chica into the office if she is stuck in the vent opening, unlike other animatronics. Due to the fact that Mangle only attacks when the monitor is raised, they can be easily countered by never raising it, but it becomes nearly impossible to survive the night if animatronics that require constant attention on the monitor to block are active, such as the Puppet, Toy Freddy, the Mediocre Melodies, and Funtime Foxy, unless the player is very close to 6 AM. If there are no animatronics active that require raising the monitor and the player never does so, Mangle can never attack the player.
The challenges in which Mangle is present are as follows:
- Ladies Night 1 (5)
- Ladies Night 2 (5)
- Ladies Night 3 (10)
- Creepy Crawlies 1 (10)
- Creepy Crawlies 2 (20)
- Old Friends (20)
- Chaos 3 (5)
Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted[]

Mangle returns as one of the antagonists in Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted, appearing in their titular level in the Vent Repair section. During this section, after HandUnit malfunctions and the player flips the lever to activate their headlight, Mangle appears in the vent directly in front of them before retreating into the vent. From then on, the player must repair each vent while warding off Mangle, who will have a new path to attack the player for each new vent they open. Failing to ward off Mangle with their headlight will result in the player getting a jumpscare. In the Blacklight version of the level, a second, Blacklight Mangle will be active, both Mangles will be much faster than usual, and all three vents open at once, giving both of them a chance to easily attack the player if they are not paying attention.
They also appear in the FNAF 2 levels, where they are active from Night 3 onward (unlike in the previous FNAF 2, where they became active on Night 2). In said levels, they now behave the same way as Toy Bonnie and the withered animatronics besides Withered Foxy did in the original game, and Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica, and Withered Bonnie in Ultimate Custom Night. As with the original game, when encountered, the player must put on the Freddy Fazbear head to ward them off. However, instead of leaving back through the vent, they now enter the office when the player puts on the Freddy Fazbear head and will leave after some time. They can now also enter the office from the hallway and has a new pose while in the hallway. Failing to ward off Mangle will result in them jumpscaring the player. In the Pizza Party level of Night Terrors, Mangle appears dangling above in a room where the player has to select their favorite flavor of cake for a party. Mangle will jumpscare the player if they stay in the room too long.
Mangle returns once again in two levels of the Curse of Dreadbear DLC, in the Build-A-Mangle and Trick Or Treat.
Build-A-Mangle[]
Mangle starts to emerge from the vent in front of the player if an incorrect part is dropped into the chute, serving as a warning to the player that they need to drop the rest of the parts in correctly. If three incorrect parts are dropped into the chute, Mangle will immediately jumpscare the player. They will also jumpscare the player if they fail to create an animatronic performer in time, shortly after HandUnit's message noting their poor performance.
Trick Or Treat[]
Occasionally, Mangle will block the window on either side of the door. The only way to make Mangle go away is to put on the Mangle Mask. After putting it on, Mangle will leave, and the player will then have to put on the correct mask for the animatronic at the door.
Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery[]

Gameplay[]
Mangle returns in Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery. Unlike the other animatronics, Mangle cannot be shocked by the player. Instead, the player must collect their fallen parts in time. For every part the player collects, the time limit gets shorter. During their haywire, the player must put the mask on and look away. The player must also put on the mask when Mangle charges. Once enough parts are collected, Mangle will charge the player and get automatically shocked.

Mangle's head is a component of the Blob with glowing red eyes.
Posters featuring Mangle that were originally from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza appear in several points in the game, including in Rockstar Row. Artwork of Mangle appears on two arcade cabinets, CyberFox VS MechaMangle and Mangle's Quest.
In Monty Golf AR-Cade, Mangle appears as a background element at the end of the fourth hole, themed around their Vent Repair level.
